New grower in MA

Hey STINKYATTIC:question::question:

I am a soon-to-be new grower and have a few questions. Im not sure if this is the right thread to be in ....hopefully.

Anyway I'm trying to plan my first grow (thoroughly) and I've hit a couple walls.

First and foremost I live in the US ...Massachusetts specifically, and I dont know how to get my hands on some quality seeds without having to deal with the man. I want quality seeds like some Arajans Ultra Haze or something of the sort and I feel like mail order is not a good idea. Any suggestions???

Secondly im trying to decide between soil or no soil (some type of soiless mix or whatever other my options I have other than soil). What are the differences in terms of high/ bud quality/ etc?? How should i make this decision????

Any suggestions for a beginer from ANYONE would be AMAZING also any tips on AVOIDING THE MAN IN THE US would be great too ...my record is clean and I'd like to keep it that way =) Besides PEOPLE WHO GROW AND SMOKE WEED ARE NOT CRIMINALS (by-in-large) AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SUFFER CONSIQUENCES AS THOUGH THEY WERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANKS!!!!!!!!!:stoned::question::question:

I'm moving this to its own thread. The 'noob instructions' thread is a tutorial and I keep it clean. Also, isn't the text of this post exactly the same as the text of your intro post? :wtf:

Anyway if you don't want to mail order, you have to grow from bag seed, since seed sales are illegal in the US. If you are lucky enough to know a grower, get seeds or clones from him.

Bud quality depends on care the plant is given. Teh type of medium you use should be influence by your own grow style preference, and how much time you plan to put into the grow.

as a beginner, (even novices, and seasoned growers alike), you sure as hell don't want to try growing a Haze ... you couldn't have picked a longer-flowering, finickier plant, if you'd tried, can be quite difficult, even for the 'experts' ... if you do wind up buying commercial seeds, go for a Northern Lights (example), a very POTENT good-yielding, easy-grower, and finishes fairly fast ... or, any 'Mandala Seeds' strain, and read his FAQ section on his website ... some of the BEST growing advice anywhere on the Web, I recommend it to everyone ... :thumbsup:
