How do you know that the strands that you say they are... actually are those strands? [Archive] - Green Grass Forums

Where does everyone get their seeds? Friends? Dealers? Online?

Basically I want some seeds. Don't know where to go to get them.

1) Can you use the seeds that come in a standard bag of weed?

2) Which ones produce buds? How can you tell the difference?

3) How do you guys know which strands are which. Do you guys buy the seeds with the strands already denominated? Or do you buy that type of weed, and then use the seeds?

4) Where do you guys recommend I get some seeds???

I have a whole lot to learn about growing, I realize that... But I have to start somewhere... Any help you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry about the 20 questions too.

Hey thanks, those of you who are not just dicks. It was like my first ten minutes on here so... I have since read more threads and I know alot more. I did try a couple of those seed sites and they say that seeds can't be sent in america? I'll check out some more.

here ya go buddy... hempdepot.ca but seriously i bet you could not have held your tongue either. but that is a great site that will deliver

dr.chronic.com, Gypsy Nirvana's seedboutique.com all deliver to US no problem. Gypsy Nirvana's standard seeds are cheap too.

As far as being dicks - even a small amount of effort on your part would have yielded your answers...but you wanted us to do all your homework for you instead....I'm sure you can understand why it perturbed some. There are literally 100's of threads, all about seed strains just a few mouse clicks away. We are all willing to help but please put forth at least some effort.

Good Luck & Happy Growing!!

yeah, ive ordered from drchronic.com, shipped to us, took about 1 week, over christmas. i used that site because i could order with a credit card, rather than waiting for a money order to go through. pick up some of the nirvana or KC brains, it'll only run you about 20 bucks, and you get a pack of free seeds when you order one. if you are a member of the forum he advertizes on his site, and mention your user name, he will give you 10% off too. this way, you'll get some cheaper seeds that you know what they are, but won't feel as bad when you screw up, as if you spent 10x the price.

Thank you for the help. I will have to keep in mind that if I don't do the minimum of research I will have about a hundred people on here pooping on my face.

So I guess the better question to ask would be... What are some recommended sites that sell seeds?? I am pretty scared of being ripped off.

I know someone said Nirvana, but I was reading a seeds and strains thread and people were saying it sucks...

Also, when the seeds come in the mail are they discrete or is it plastered all over the side "MARIJUANA SEEDS!!!!!" (joke)

doco

01-05-2007, 08:09 AM

DR.Chronic & Gypsy Nirvana are both very good in my 4 times in dealing with them...always some freebies thrown in and fast delivery.

They are very discrete and mine have always arrived safe. I'm sure there are some bad luck stories out there but my experiences are good.

Dr.Chronic seems to lean toward the medical strains but he also carries all the big breeders. Nirvana Standard seeds are cheap as hell too, like $20 or less for 10 and they'll toss you in some freebies...

Go to their website http://www.seedboutique.com/store/ and check out all the descriptions until you find one that fits your requirements

Thanks guys. I did finally break down and get one order of Lowryder X2... You guys will have to tell me what you think of that move. Keep in mind though, it will be my first grow and I did read that it is a low maintainance grow with decent yields...

Actually the most interesting thing about the whole ordeal is my girlfriend that I live with does not know that I even smoke. I have been able to hide it from her for a long time.

My main worry with the whole thing is that she would check the mail, and there, in the mail box, would be a big package that said CANNABIS SEEDS!!!.
But drchronic did assure that it would be disctrete.

Maybe I'll do A first time grow log. It would be interesting, what with all of the drama...

You know to let someone poop on your face you kind of have to sit still long enough...put yourself in the position first...get pooped on after

...my girlfriend that I live with does not know that I even smoke. I have been able to hide it from her for a long time.

Oh hey wait, maybe you DESERVE to have your face pooped on.

This is, I believe, the first time I have ever had the chance to give a fucking ADULT the lecture about making sure that the homeowner or everyone on the lease is in agreement before you go putting them in danger.

MAn I wouldn't want to be your girlfriend!!!

I flamed you for hiding your marijuana use from your girlfriend. The reason is simple: If you can't be totally honest with her then what makes you think you have a future together? Are you going to hide like a coward every time you want to smoke? It's just going to lead to trouble. As for the term "fag", is that really necessary? Couldn't you have used fucker or asshole? What have you got against homosexuals? It seems en vogue among a few members of this site to be closeted, misogynistic homophobes. Why is that? Happy growing and Peace.

First off. I'm probably going to grow outside... I would never put my girlfriend in danger. Or anyone else in this apartment complex for that matter.

Secondly, if I do choose to grow indoors it will be at a friends house.

Thirdly, my girlfriend is not as open to marijuana use as you or I and certainly not as open to cultivation...

Fourthly, I treat my girlfriend like a queen! And she absolutely loves the shit out of me.

Fifthly, if you are a fag who comes on here just to mess with people, Fuck Off!

That fag you just insulted is one of the most knowledgeable growers on this site. First impressions are hard to break, so good luck.

Secondly, you are your girlfriend's bitch for having to hide the fact that you smoke.

Thirdly, a lot of people have had mixed experiences with gypsy nirvana seeds, but I know the company has worked to resolve conflict. Having said that, though, sorry to say that if you're trying to cultivate drugs, you might get ripped off once or twice.

Fourthly, I was joking about your girlfriend, but I'd suggest you find yourself some literature and try to educate, keeping secrets in a relationship can be dangerous business.

For a noob, you've really got me figured out already!!! Congratulations on that!!!!!:thumbsup: What's my postcount up to these days... 3000? And of those, a VERY low percentage of little short lame posts... I've got some serious gardening behind me, and a REAL job... why would I waste my time coming on here to mess with people?

If you read my posts I gladly give QUALITY advice to aspiring growers, on one condition: That it be used ethically.

Lying, sneaking, stealing= very bad.

My state has some of the harshest anti-marijuana laws and my friends STILL know I grow, they've seen my grow, I'm getting them started on their own grows, we have no secrets.. and I don't even DATE them lol!

Treating your girlfriend like a queen... what does that really honestly in your heart mean to you?

It seems like your first step in planning a grow will actually be sitting down with her and having a very honest discussion about the benefits of cannabis as a medicinal plant. There's a ton of info on this site that you can print out for her. Even if you grow outdoors, your life will be easier if you can start tender seedlings inside the house. Maybe you will be able to come to an agreement where you only grow plants to the size where you will put them outdoors? MAybe she will just accept your smoking? Even if she doesn't, she will feel MORE like a queen if she knows that her boyfriend has the courage to be honest about everything with her.

Part of your responsibility as a cannabis grower WILL be to help educate others, and that starts in your own home.

That was your first reply to my thread.... I'm still learning... Cut me a break.

And as for the fag thing, it was intended to be like shithead and or fucker. Bad choise of words. I thought that I was being attacked. I now see I was wrong. Sorry.

My brother is gay and we have many common friends who are gay. I have never been accused of bieng a bigot before because I am not.

Regardless of whether you are gay or not I didn' mean it like that.

I'm actually a WOMAN.

I take lying to your girlfriend just as badly as any other sort of sneaky thing that is USUALLY done around here by 15 year old punks who are obviously trying to burn down their parents' houses with their feeble attempts at 'stealth' growing.... it sounds like you are just a bit old to have that mindset... ???

When someone comes on the boards with that attitiude, I say, nip it in the bud, no pun intended.... one of 3 things can happen... 1) They stomp off in a huff, never to be seen again 2) They join my shit list with dopeboimagik, the various possums, istahi, etc. 3) They show an actual interest in cultivating the Shrek, a positive attitude, etc... and then we all get along like a bunch of fucking kittens. AWWWWWWWW

Wow, living a lie with a gf isn't too cool first off and it must be a bitch for you to have to hide it all the time. You might as well start looking now for the next gf as I doubt if this one will work for much longer. Deceitful relationships never do...

You really need to talk to your girlfriend about smoking and growing. Everyone is right about honesty.

Also I would recommend you not call the people you are asking for assistance names. That does not help matters.

This is a great site with helpful members.

shermania, i think that everybody's cool now, they all have valid points, and i understand you frustration as well. as a matter of fact, yeag had me noob labeled until i backed him up in a controversial issue, which kept me kind of quiet for awhile...

check out kp's cannabis college in my sig. took me about 6 hours to get it together and is full of great info. if you read the whole thing, you'll go from noob to guru... just make sure you have a cup of coffee (it's loooooooooooooong!)

and don't keep secrets from your gf... she won't like it when she busts you (which she will eventually)

right i didnt read most of the thread as i figured it will be mainyl arguing.

So see what made me click on this thread is cos i thout he will ask something like:

If i cant tell strains apart by looking at them, than if someone sells me a seed saying its White widow and i grow it and than want to make sure is there a way to tell.

To which i thout maybe someone would direct the bloke in the direction of a good KEY or an encyclopedia of some sort showing pictures and names of strains, maybe in different conditions like veg, budding, dried, etc.

and if does know of a site or somehting that is liek what i mentioned, it ould acutally be very helpful....

hope you lot understand what i am trying to say as it looks like i just wrote somehtign really complicated lol... :P
