I need help, im a first timer grower.

Hi this season im gonna go for it and get my own weed, problem is, i never done it before.
My first problem is that im a swede, our climate could closest be descibed as candian i think, so im trying to go for some canadian skunk, that i heard are the most tolerating and forgiving plant for the climate.
Now first question, where do i buy my seeds? as i said i want candian seeds of skunk, but at the same time o dont have any idea at all what pages and companys rip ppl of, now i dont want that, my money is scarce and this ought to work, where do i order my little loved ones?
Second question is, how the heck can i see the difference between a male and a female plant? and 3 can i harvest seeds from the plants them self in the end of this season if all goes well? or will i need to order more seeds next year?
Im going to do this outdoors from the start, in south downhill thingys with the most and warmest sun. i think i already solved the watering problems and stuff. Where do i go to order?
Thanks in advance

I wouldn't count on harvesting seeds for your first grow, unless that is your sole desire.
Seedboutique, nirvanashop, drchronic, and i've heard soulseeds are the most highly reputed seed banks.
I prefer seedboutique.
male and female look at the grow faqs or do a search you'll want pics its pretty easy to tell though

Thanks alot for your words of advice. Where do i find the seeds on the plant when harvesting? The usual place? the flower? or are they hidden in somewhere rediculiosly strange place where the sun dont shine? ;) :jointsmile:
I was checking out planetskunk.com earlier today and found a early skunk that i find most interesting and desireable so to say.
But i will follow you advice and check out the pages you posted and see if i can find any equal or better, and advice on seeds even? Thanks in advance again and thank you for your help.:jointsmile:
