I seriously hate this about this site. The guy just wants to grow something why crush his dreams. I'm sure he knows that if he drops $500-$1000 his crop would be better or if he bought good genetics. It's like anything you start small he isn't trying to win a cup just get the green thumb going if he likes it and finds it a good hobby then invest lots into it.
Acstrat1990. Do lots of reading and try out your bags seeds if it's something you enjoy then invest
Bro I couldn't agree more at times. Although the info is always helpful, I've found that a lot of people here like to bager others about knowledge (I am one of them at times..) I guess what it comes down to, is most growers here are very experienced and have very extensive amounts of knowledge, and with that comes personal preference big time!!! One thing about growers ive always learned, is they are all stubborn! I am always open minded, and will always take into consideration what others (possibly more experienced growers) say, however, will do my own research and compare to my own techniques and results before making a final decision. Most people (after a while) learn what works for them and in their opinion, theres no better way. Although most of the info emitted is fact, sometimes, some facts are better than others... regardless, getting off track here. I think when most growers here see a bad idea, or a headache down the road, they always make it very clear, and after years after years of these same people giving the same advice, it gets tiresome.. then ends up being a battle of knowledge to either be taken or ignored... I guess thats just how it goes
Anyways, ive seen a lot of people growing from bagseed, I agree, would never waste the effort into it, due to random deformed genetics.. not to mention, you have no idea what strain it is lol. But if you just tryin to get a high and do a noob project, good luck to ya man! Just try not to take offense to some of the people here as we are only trying to help...
Starting with known genetics will give you a leg up. I like Sour Diesel. I haven't grown it myself, but recently got some from a friend who has a friend who grows and quite liked it. It seems to be a nice middle of the road daytime smoke.
You are on your way to the start of a great adventure. I have done this for so long, I simply cannot imagine not having something going all the time. While cannabis may not be addictive, this growing thing can be.
Well said! Every strain has its own set of genetics, and doing certain techniques or feeding certain nutrients could have great effects on one strain, but the complete opposite on the other. Knowing the strain gives you the ability to research it's phenotypes and find out what it really is, then from there utilize every bit of knowledge you can to completely maximize your growth of said strain. Also, you can know what type of growth patterns and issues that are known. (usually, not always). Also, buying seeds is one of the best ways to ensure your getting really good genetics. For example rather than a bag seed or a cripled seed from the batch, your getting a top of the line 10/10 seed. (depending on where you buy from) as opposed to random genetics and possibly turning into a hermie, or just simply producing horrible potency regardless of an awesome grow set up.. Genetics have a lot to do with your outcome. Hope this helps, good luck man!
