I must say that the germination rate I get from Herbie's seeds is very poor. I've had much better results from seeds bought from breeder shops.

I was wondering if there is any benefit to buying directly from breeders rather than from resellers? Are you more likely to get fresher seeds or a better selection from breeders? I notice that resellers often offer stealth shipping where they take the seeds out of their packaging and mail the...

Thanks. Unfortunately, they don't sell those here in the UK.

For years, I have been trying to find a small (6-7 inch diameter) oscillating fan for my grow tent that was reliable, but the oscillation always breaks down after a time. A steady fan on the plants can produce windburn, so I avoid non-oscillating fans. The bigger fans are more robust, but I...

Thanks. I have a 1 x 1 x 2M tent that should be high enough and I want to top them and then do some lst to get an even canopy. I'm using 600W HID lights so I need to keep the plants at least 12 inches away from the tops. Would you suggest any optimal pot size and number of plants for my space...

Has anyone grown this strain in soil? The seeds are feminized photoperiods from Original Sensible Seeds What were your opinions about its potency and yield? Did it stretch a lot? Thanks for any advice.

Lol...indeed. It seems everyone has their own opinions on how to water.

Thanks. That's the problem. The roots need oxygen but don't get it if the soil is always wet, but how moist should it be? I know that I water my house plants more often that I do the pot plants, and they don't seem to suffer from the moist soil, but they must also need oxygen for their roots, so...

I have been disappointed with the size of my plants recently and was wondering if I am watering them wrong? I worry that I am taking the idea of letting them get very dry and then watering to runoff too far. The advice is to check the dryness of the pot soil by using your finger up to the third...

I've never used coco just soil and perlite. The best soil I found was canna terra pro plus, and when mixed with about 20% perlite gives a good draining soil. I use it for auto flowers and photoperiods with no problem. There's a website called Grow Weed Easy that has tons of great info on all...

I also wonder about it. In my area, the water is hard and the ph is high (about 8.2 out of the tap) partially from calcium and magnesium already in it, so I wonder if I should be adding it to my nute solution. If you live in a soft water area, then I'd say you should use it.

I found this at the website linked= https://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/The_Incredible_Bulk/Dr_Krippling_Seeds/

Lol...I am an amateur, but I have had good germination results by planting the seeds in root riot plugs and setting the plugs in a small heated propagator in the dark with a lot of moisture. See the pics below. I rinse the plugs in mild nutes with extra canna rhyzotonic before inserting the...

I had the opposite problem. I could only grow one hydro bucket in my tent so I planted three seeds, hoping one would come out, but all three sprouted. I can't bring myself to kill good plants, so I put the two extra seedlings in 1L soil pots and let them grow in the corners of the tent. They...

just to follow up, I grew one incredible bulk in hydro and the smoke was very good and the plant produced 220g of dried buds and 125g of good shake for canna butter. I would recommend it for both quality and quality, and it was easy to grow.
