Spotlighting top breeders and homegrowers in our community! We aim to provide promotion, exposure, and educational grow videos featuring their strains. Join us in meeting new people, sharing knowledge, and celebrating the cannabis community. We'll be interviewing both the breeder and homegrower of the month to bring people together and foster connections.

February's Breeder of the month

Information

My name is Robb Keever aka lil Megalodon of PlantTreesSmokeDope. PTSD was
officially launched in 2025 although work began in 2021 as a side project towards the end of my
tenure as a licensed medical cannabis provider based out of Augusta Maine. Upon returning to
New York were my growing career began 23 years ago, I started slowly preparing for the
inevitable drop of my passion project.
Although breeding has always been on my mind since the very beginning, large scale
production has consumed most of my life. 80 hours a week is no joke! Until I came across the
“perfect” male specimen I rarely had the time or faculties to consider undertaking a quality
breeding program. That male plant was “Its Fire” by the amazing people at Jinxproof Genetics.
Out of 18 plants it was the only male I found. On top of that I had a dozen or so strains I ran
from them and one trait stood out about all others. Uniformity. No more than three pheno
expressions as far as growth and structure. These qualities were exactly what I was searing for
to build a strong foundation. Im proud to have achieved the same through my crosses as well.
I currently only breed regular male and female seeds, I prefer them as a commercial
grower and pheno hunter to get a full sense of a plants potential expressions. Although I may be
open to feminized seeds in the future, I personally treat them with the same reservations and
inspection in my grow, so they aren’t much use to me. No disrespect but I firmly believe 80% of
the feminized market is a cash crab. All strains are tested in house by myself and an Og I
respect dearly. We inspect for min 95% germination rate across different propagation methods,
mutations,and Intersex traits which we have a 1/20 threshold. All seeds are then self sexed
before cloning for Phase 1 testing which only occurs with a 60% female to male ratio being
achieved. Phase one is mostly a stress test. Excessive or insufficient nutrients, shifting between
poor and intense lighting that sort of thing. The idea being I want to see the worst they can do,
test the limits of intersex expressions. Phase two is a minor production run in a full size flower
room, at this point Im looking for changes in the surviving pheno types. Flower expression can
drastically alter for good or bad at this stage. Very important. ALL seeds will do this. Finally
Phase three is a full production run of the keeper phenos. Displaying the best of what the
lineage has to offer. Until This 8-9 month process is complete I will sell you nothing.
Having worked in a partnership for the past 10 years my self expression was often
stifled. From having to grow the latest bougee strains that yielded nothing to my first creation,
BootySweat underhandedly being renamed for the retail market. Plant Trees Smoke Dope is me
finally on my own terms. Im not everyones joint to roll but I do my best to be as quality as I can
be. My goal is for my quality to be seen, felt and heard in all of my work. Through attention to
detail and treating the cannabis plant as an extension of myself, I don’t want to sell you
cannabis seeds. I want to give you a part of me, an experience.
