Need advice:
Where's the best place to buy viable seed?

Now that I can legally grow my own in Virginia, where's the best place(s) to order?

It's been decades since I last spouted seeds & grew plants or even smoked!! A friend in FL has sent me several batches of her homemade cookies but I'd like to bake my own.

Thanks!

There are countless seed banks across the country that will ship to you. The one I use was only for medical cannabis before Michigan went totally legal it has some of the best breeders with super strains and genetics.
The art of growing has gotten much easier in recent years. Autoflower strains make life simple, germinate seed, tender care for 9 to 15 weeks, no lighting changes, and voila...buds.

Outside of the breeders represented this is a totally U.S. business plus is located in my home state, Michigan. I try to support more local businesses.

Another is here, like some of the strains there.

You’ll find that most seed banks represent the same breeders, find a bank that is best for you ...ease of payment, shipping and so forth.

The breeders I like to use are “World of Seeds” and “Mephisto”.

Shop around but I’ve found most seeds are about 10 bucks apiece. They come in packages varying in amounts of seeds packaged in airtight vials.

Have fun...it can get confusing and overwhelming just in the sheer amount of stuff out there.

Welcome to the world of cannabis growing. You can’t get addicted to cannabis, but you can get addicted to growing it. Been growing for about 12 years.

I'm buying an old familiar favorite, Acapulco Gold Feminized.

It's been decades since I've grown any and I'm a bit nervous. I hope my techniques & green thumbs still work.

Thanks again, MiHale! 🙏

There are all types of growing forums online to answer questions or verify your knowledge, here’s a few of the most popular. You can get kinda lost in them, just a warning, there’s so much info.
On some of the forums they have people sharing their grow journals complete with pictures so you can get an visual idea of how your doing.

I grow in hydroponics, with Autoflower seeds under Exlenvce 1500W 1200W LED lights in a 4x4 grow tent using General Hydroponics nutes with the Lucas Formula method.

Biggest warning I can give you is the one I received from my mentor...use your nutrients sparingly, it’s easier to correct lack of nutes then fixing over fed plants. Plus they can get kinda pricey, depending on your formulas and schedules.

Simple, easy, no lighting changes for flowering.
