Don't buy expensive seeds if you're a new grower

The only reason i pay the little extra, i really dont mind paying any type of price for seeds, i know when i buy 100 seeds in bulk from Royal Queen Seeds it costs me £311 which works out at £3.11 each seed, i spend double to triple that amount on food 3-4 times a day, plus i can spend around around £50-60 with them get 10 seeds, 3-5 extra free seeds, papers, grinders, stickers posters ect the great thing is if any of your seeds dont germinate they will send you a replacement.

I know your saying you can get really cheap seeds ect but for me, Northern Lights is one of the only strains where helps me through each point of the day, iv visited the Royal Queen Seeds shop in Amsterdam and they had told me theres not much difference in there version of the Northern Lights and the original Landrace strain, iv grown other Seed Brands and they cost me 8 for £20, they werent the best at all, 3 hermied within 2 weeks of flower, the other 5 were all different pheno types which i really dont like when im growing in sets of 8 or bulk as you find every pheno type likes there feed differently and when your mixing 150L a week up for 8 plants, doing separate mixes is a right nightmare, also had a pack of 3 seeds from another company and they were poor even in the greatest of conditions.

I wont ever mention the other 2 Seed Banks as im not willing to consider my quotes as bad mouthing, could of been a bad batch of seeds, never helps when companies never even reply to your emails.

These are both Royal Queen Seed strains, Northern Lights & O.G. Kush, never grown the Kush before but iv been told this will help me a lot better during the day, sorry for the quality of the pictures, these are day 21 of flower.

I do agree with you on some seed prices but you can see where im coming from.






 
I've had great success with @SeedsMan :)
Preach. Was gonna say that anyway and their own brand is actually cheap and super reliable so far for ME. I believe the founder is one of the old timers from the amsterdam boom. So their genetics are from very reliable sources id say.

I just dropped a £50 certificate on basically all seedsman strains as you can see got a pretty decent haul.
Got all sorts of genetics going and been done and they have been most consistent. Eva seeds gypsy haze hermied in the heat. Fast buds blackberry has gone airy due to the heat. Seedsman kush auto is just steaming ahead.

That there is the only thing with the heat and some strains cant hack it at all, iv just ran Super Skunk and because it was over 27c it went airy where as my Northern Lights matured a little quicker at 28c.

I think its one of those things for everyone really, you find a seed bank or genetic background you want and dont like to change after, after growing Northern Lights for so long if i tweak my tent in temp ways as well as light height, i can easily harvest at 6 weeks, and have a semi even trichome mix.

You can easily change to a different seed company and it all goes to pot because your not used to the strain.

Pretty sure vadors seed line starts at $120 for 11 regular seeds, so we arent paying as much as what some people are paying in the world.

Lol true. What was that one strain that was like 600 for 10 regs! I swear @Preston9mm was in on that convo. It was like a sunset sherbet cross with something. Was possibly conniseur seeds or something along them lines.
 
You'll find a better representation of nl in Ortega and much stronger plant.. shantibabas the man... You should familiarise yourselves with Mr Nice seeds and cbd crew.. look at strains and names and breeding.... I wouldnt diss what any grow (just Price paid) as Shanti probably supplies the seeds to the company or had the originals that produce the seeds.. one of his quotes from years back, they can reproduce any strain out there in the market.. his not the only breeder but his the one that offers the fairest system for buying seeds.. and with price strains phenos crosses to make etc, can't see how could possibly get to buying others genetics.. it'd want to be a 45 day cocain Viagra Baby sleep effect 800g m2...
 
Even the worst seeds can grow amazing smoke. Regular bag seeds can grow dank it’s all about the environment and showing much love. Hey it’s a weed let’s not make things complicated
 
I’d say don’t buy more seeds then you can plant in three months because they don’t warrantee them after a three-month period I got a group of blueberry none grew and There was a warranty hundred percent germination guaranteed I called the company back fine print within three months of purchase we all know how to properly store a cannabis in a cool dark place but will they grow that’s how they get you they love bulk orders
 
Icemann, store seeds in freezer.... Yes they will grow, lol.... Be around 30,000 seeds there.. I grow about 10 a year :rofl::rofl: I also sent all fems and autos id collected to mate :rofl:

I have no problem with storage seeds they store very well just the fact that they say 100% germination guarantee if they don’t grow within three months that guarantee is over I don’t use the freezer but I put mine in the refrigerator basically the same but if you think about a seed storage vault there in Alaska and deep cold free storage makes perfect sense
 
3,000 not 30,000 :rofl: 100℅ germination rate is big call, can't get that from fresh ripe homegrown.. I think 80℅ is where we should aim for.. yeah, if going to buy bulk, its up to us to keep them as viable as possible...

Even the worst seeds can grow amazing? You must read my thread "Buying 23 seeds for 150€ from 'originalseedsstore'"
And you will see what happens when you don't pick carefully your seed bank.
My seeds did not root 2/16, and only 6 seeds left
 
So in everyones opinions, whats the most potent seeds you have grown?

Im planning on scrogging a small tent with 1 plant in soil under LED, wanting a short flowering but a very psychedelic strain?

Really not bothered on price but i am interested in extraordinary genetics, with only 1 seed being grown in veg for up to 6 weeks i really dont want problems with genetic problems.
 
......

.

don't we all mate :rofl::rofl:
you made me question everything I believe in. I hadn't considered the one plant grower....
 
I am a newb. I have three grows under my belt and one in progress. Three have been autofems and one rogue grow, (I had no idea what it was but I was experimenting with cropping). Anyway, I believe it is much more important for newbies to use what is easiest and I believe they are the autofems. That being said, if you are not doing a lot of reading and research, you will find this a bit of a confusing journey. Blogs are wonderful, but a lot of them are opinion and not researched or experienced by the blogger. The real experienced guys are great, but you need to know something in order to find out who they are. Autofems are fast and fairly easy. They tell you what stage they are in and allow for a lot of mistakes.
