    I can 100% vouch that these gentlemen are breeding absolute fire!!! I literally popped ONE Cherry Sherb bean and she was a true keeper! Zero issues, low stretch, easy grower, fast finisher, straight orange peels that cures to a citrus/peppered gravy 🤤🤤🤤 Huge shout-out to Jay for hooking me up at CannaCon with some Cherry Sherb and some breath/Obama beans. You guys really don't know just how much you have helped this community with all of your knowledge and passion! I along with so many others truly appreciate you!
  • @adambrown1576
    It’s crazy how consistent their gear is. I have popped a ton of breeders gear including “the best”. I have been hunting packs for about 3 years consistently. At least 18 popped beans every run and sometimes I pop 40+ when I dedicate 4 lights to hunting. I’ve found more legit keepers in the 5 packs I’ve popped from Jay and Mitten than all the other packs I’ve popped. The hard part is picking which ones to rerun to see if they are real keepers. Only beans I’m pooping now. They have both even helped me with questions in DMs and they don’t know me in person. Much love and don’t ever change your mentality.

  • @keed_507
    So much love and knowledge; it's never a coincidence to see these two being respected the way they are.

  • A lot of us home growers have been doing under canopy lighting for multiple years now, and far red 660-720 has been a thing for years now. 15 minutes before and after your 11+ hrs of 4k . Im definitely going to try your light recipe

    I Laughed when I saw the episode was 2 hours, but then easily watched every single minute of it 😆 great work & thanks for sharing 🌱💨💨
  • Thanks, BeanFiendz for the spacing information. This is a very keyway to trimmers! big eazy nuggs to trimm!
  • This always gets me fired up, over the past 16 years. I'm consistently mildly interested in growing. I watch something like this. After growing the super boof. HYPED! Love listening the s**t like this and want too grow better. Much love, great content🙌
  • @voidNvain
    Not often I bust out the notepad, but this was full of awesome information. Also that Snapple was bomb af.
