• After almost 6 months I still have no licensing at the originally planned location. I should finally have some definitive news on that in a few weeks (fingers crossed).

• The Dosidos, Purple Punch, and Sunset Sherbet projects all have to be reworked from the F1 generation. While running the F2 generation I ran into the growers dilemma of having too many projects and not enough space. A grower buddy offered me some of his outdoor space, so I took the plants to be pollinated there and did a small pollination on a few bud sites. Soon after my grower buddy found an open photoperiod male in their outdoor garden, right next to the projects... I’ve ran a few hundred seeds from each of these crosses and all have been photoperiods. I don’t have any F2 left to go back to, so back to the F1 we go! Realizing and finally accepting that each of these projects were setback took me longer than it should have, but I had to grow them all to be sure. Nothing like running a perpetual veg when you’re expecting flowering autos! I am still planning on crushing these projects out as soon as possible because they are absolutely worth the effort to get right (and because I'm seriously missing their smoke!).

No big July drop. Due to everything getting pushed back and fussed around, I am not planning anything major for the July drop. ...but plans change...

Alright, time for the good!

• While my location hasn’t worked out, a friend has allowed me to work under their location which has been a blessing. So far I’ve made myself look like a complete idiot by running all those new auto projects that turned out to be photos. Off to a great start there! 🤣

• The Pre ‘98 Bubba Kush x Auto Skywalker is still planned for release later this year and is coming along brilliantly! If this year has taught me anything it’s to not get ahead of myself, so I’ll update you guys on the first drop of them when I know they’re ready. Stay tuned for that!

• The Darkhorse Genetics x Night Owl Seeds (photo x auto) collaborations are moving along quickly! I’ve just received the F2 generation of our Bruce Banner #3, King Louis XIII, Wedding Cake, and Marathon OG photo to auto projects which we hope to release later this year!

Blue Microverse F5, Tyrone Stomper F7, Wizard’s Apprentice F5, Zamaldelica Express F5, Purple Pope F2, and Crinkled Cookies F3 are all planned for release later this year!

• New collaborations with Ronin Gardens, Full Duplex, and Rocbud are planned for release later this year!

• 10/11/21!!! I know I just said if this year has taught me anything it’s not to get ahead of myself, but mark your calendars now. The Halloween drop is planned for October 11th, 2021.

F.A.Q

Is Daz going to any of these Cannabis events like Gene Traders, and the Autoflower Cup?

Unfortunately no, Daz' focus is being in the garden right now. Good news is he's preparing for these events and will announce ahead of time If he's going to future events.

The poster ads always have NightOwl for every event because, the Gene Trader booth are the ones carrying NightOwl packs for sale.

What is Gene Traders carrying? stock not up to date

  • Cosmic Apprentice
  • Star Krunch
  • Sage Scout
  • Milk & Qookies
  • Galaxy Brain
  • Creme de la Cosmos

"When is the next drop?"

The next drop is the first set of Photo x Autos, realistically won't be until OCTOBER 11, 2021. If you need any NightOwl seeds after this drop please purchase them from an authorized seed bank below.

"Are NightOwl packs sealed?"

None of my packs are heat sealed due to the design of the packaging. I've reached out to a few different places to help design a security seal sticker, but there have been no options yet that don't take away from the design of the packaging and interrupt the strain label or text. When I figure out a solution for this you guys will be the first to know!

When you order from one of my distributors the packs will come with 3 seeds. I do occasionally throw a few extra seeds in random packs that are sent out to distributors, but don't expect more than 3 unless you're ordering direct from me through the seed bazaar. Other than that the packs are true to their labels, 3 seeds.

"Where does everyone get all the NightOwl Merch (Stickers, Ashtray, Patch etc) ?"

The Seed Bazaar, that's where you can order direct with NightOwl. Merch drops are usually announced ahead of time, sign up for the text alerts.

"Do I have to pay customs?

I haven't been charged any custom fees, I also haven't heard anyone to be charged custom fees.

"Do seed bank packs have more than 3 seeds?"

You will get what you paid for 3 fem seeds, there's a chance you could get more than 3 seeds unless it says otherwise.

"My pack has a blank label, how do I know what I have?"

Those are the "Secret Owl Society" packs, they come labeled with UV ink. Daz/ Seedbanks almost always provides a small blacklight keychain, use it to reveal the pack name.

"Are there any freebies?"

IF YOU ORDER DIRECT FROM TSB, Nightowl will give you 2 extra seeds on 3 seed pack orders. Same cultivar, no freebie tiers. Check promos if there's anything else being given.

When you order from one of my distributors the packs will come with 3 seeds. I do occasionally throw a few extra seeds in random packs that are sent out to distributors, but don't expect more than 3 unless you're ordering direct from me through the seed bazaar. Other than that the packs are true to their labels, 3 seeds.

"My pack of NightOwl came with 3 seeds, did insert seedbank take seeds out?"

No, authorized seed banks wouldn't take seeds out, they have a reputation to uphold and working relationship with Daz.

"I got a confirmation email, it still says "processing", should I be worried?"

As long as you have a confirmation email, then there's nothing to worry about your order has been received.

"Received tracking, no movement on the order since being scanned into Denver, or not scanned at all"

"Do I need TSB Premium to make a purchase, or do I purchase through Premium?"

No, you don't need TSB Premium to make a purchase. This was an option for paying members to get a chance to access the drop early. Nothing was exclusive to premium, everyone has access to all the strains. Go to the regular store page

"How do I register for a free account?"

There should be a sign-in button at the bottom of the page, or the NightOwl Store page. Look at this image to help.

"What do I do with my scratch card, can I stack them?"

Mail it in for the next drop, or any future drop NightOwl has specifically on TSB. When checking out select "mail-in cash/ money order". Once you complete the order, you should then get an email with mail-in details. Yes you can stack scratch cards, or other NightOwl discounts.

Secret Owl Society Text Club

Text "Nightowl" to +1(760) 670-3130.

The old phone number 474747 isn't in service anymore. If you'd like to join the Secret Owl Society Text Club, then text "nightowl" to (760) 670-3130. This feature SHOULD work for international users, use +1 if you're having trouble! If it still doesn't work with your telecommunications provider, it's rumored to work with a separate messaging application like Whatsapp.

Instagram Scams

No one from the moderation team or NightOwl (Daz) would reach out to you through Instagram and try to sell you or trade seeds, simply put it's a scam. Be diligent, even some regular reddit accounts have been masqueraded on instagram to scam people. If you take your time taking your own pictures, I suggest to watermark them aswell.

Daz' Super Soil Mix

Copied and pasted from IG.

Hey guys,

Here is the autoflower super soil recipe I've been using over the last 6 or 7 years. Be sure to always wear proper eye, skin, and respiratory protection when handling these ingredients!!!

  • 50 lbs Bone Meal
  • 50 lbs Blood Meal
  • 50 lbs Bat Guano
  • 24 lbs Sulfate of Potash (12 lbs granular, 12 lbs fine)
  • 15 lbs Dolomite Lime
  • 10 lbs Epsom Salt
  • 10 lbs Azomite 
  • 5 lbs Humic Acid

Home use sizes

Good for 4.75 lbs of Super Amendment Mix (27 Tbsp approx in each lb)

  • 16oz* bone meal down to earth 1/2 can be fish
  • 16oz* blood meal down to earth
  • 16oz* bat guano earth juice primal harvest
  • 8oz* sulfate of potash protassium 1/2 fine 1/2 granular
  • 5oz* dolomite lime down to earth
  • 3.3oz* epsom salt magriculture
  • 3.3oz* azomite azomite mineral products
  • 1.67oz* humic acid the Andersons humic dg

I've used standard bone meal, as well as a mix of half fish bone meal and half traditional with great results.

My brand preferences for inputs are:

  • Bone Meal- Down to Earth
  • Blood Meal- Down to Earth
  • Bat Guano- Primal Harvest from Earth Juice
  • Sulfate of Potash- Protassium
  • Dolomite Lime- Down to Earth
  • Epsom Salt- Magriculture
  • Azomite- Azomite Mineral Products
  • Humic Acid- The Andersons Humic DG

I use a cement mixer to combine the ingredients. Since the mixer cannot fit the total amount of all the ingredients at the same time I divide the recipe by 4 and mix a quarter of the total at a time. Here is what actually goes into the mixer:

  • 12.5 lbs Bone Meal
  • 12.5 lbs Blood Meal
  • 12.5 lbs Bat Guano
  • 6 lbs Sulfate of Potash
  • 3.75 lbs Dolomite Lime
  • 2.5 lbs Epsom Salt
  • 2.5 lbs Azomite
  • 1.25 lbs Humic Acid

I cover the opening of the cement mixer with a heavy trash bag and secure it around the rim with whatever I have handy (rubberized garden wire, twine, etc.) This minimizes any nutrient dust escaping into the air once the cement mixer is in motion. I turn the mixer on for about 40 minutes, then shut it off and let the dust settle for about 15 minutes before removing the ready to use super soil mix.

Again, be sure you use proper eye, skin, and respiratory protective gear whenever handling these ingredients or mixing soil.

To use, simply add 2 Tablespoons of mix per gallon of premium potting soil, preferably Roots Organic Original @rootsorganics Blend the soil and mix until the ammendments are distributed throughout. This is now ready to use Autoflower Super Soil. Layer the bottom half of your pot with the Autoflower Super Soil and the top half with unammended soil. Plant, water, and enjoy the results!

*Additional Notes*-Earthworm Castings are great! I use them at up to 30%

This mix can be used with coco. Instead of having two layers, as described above, you should use three layers.

  • Full strength Super Coco in the bottom 1/3rd of the pot (2 Tbs per gallon)
  • 1/2 strength in the middle 1/3rd of the pot (1 Tbs per gallon)
  • straight coco in the top 1/3rd of the pot.

I prefer to use this in 5 gallon pots, but have seen @roningarden crush it with 1.5 gallons, and others use 7 gallons.

Thanks again to DazNightowl

Do I need to top dress again every 30 days?

No this is good for the entire lifespan of an auto.
