Two questions..

One of my plants has some white parasite looking stuff on a few leaves and leaf stems. What is it and how do I stop it?
Second question and this one is probably based more on personal preference than actual fact.
Who, in your opinion, sells the best seeds. All of mine were purchased form Royal Queen Seeds. Three diesel auto seeds sprouted good but the plants have only gotten to be 4 to 8 inches tall at 10 weeks and they started flowering 3 weeks into thier life. One other, a Royal Queen Auto is hermaphrodite. And the watermelon strain has been growing well but it's already flowering at 2 months old. Was suppose to be a regular feminized photo period strain.
My point is, I dont think the quality of thier seeds is up to par and it truly makes me wonder if I'm even getting the strain I ordered. I've lost all trust in thier product and need a new source for next season.

Would really need a picture of the "white parasite looking stuff". Could be anything from a mildew/mold/fungus to mealy bugs. Treatments are very different.

I agree. They seem to have to many strains for their own good like everyone. Ive read they have very good strains and other strain s less.

Their F1's seem great but can imagine if you want great yields photoperiod is the way to go.

What they dont tell you is,for every 2 weeks of veg you double your harvest. But you never get those 6 weeks of veg time with autos
Im also looking for a strain, it would be AK47(very well ballanced hybrid) except odour ruins stealth.
A cup winner, at least you have know what your getting. Yes difficult to choose

Sry if that was more for myself

Auto's normally flower at between 3-5 weeks, sometimes up to 8 weeks (rarely). If they stall there's no time to recover. For newer growers (don't know what your experience is) I do not recommend autos until you pay your dues with photos.

Looks like a colony of mealy bugs to me. Neem oil or insecticidal soap (if they're not in flower) should kill them, they're relatively easy to control. They suck sap and will eventually weaken the plant.
