I did hours of research before deciding to go with Humboldt Seed Company for my first grow. Basically it came down to reputation. They have been in business since 2001, with the legalization of medical in California. There are several large breeders online, and since the seeds contain less than 0.3% THC, they are completely legal to sell. I did find some posts talking about finding breeders on instagram and waiting for a “drop”. I looked into one of the recommended breeders in Missouri, and while the seeds are half the price, the transaction itself seemed more trouble than it was worth. Cash only, no shipping until they’ve received your cash in a nondescript birthday card with no return address sort of shit.

Strains

I have a 3.3×3.3 tent, so I think I’ll try and do six plants this first time, maybe. The site guarantees germination, but I’d rather have a backup seed incase I kill some. The subject of determining how much space you need is complicated indeed. This may come back to bite me in the ass considering how many times I read “and if you’re growing multiple strains together this may complicate…” whatever. So, I’ve gone with a Sativa dominant, Indica Dominant, and a designer hybrid strain by Ed Rosenthal called Super High Life. The kit I have came with a timer, so I went with feminized photoperiod plants.
