Hey guys do u know of a club that has seeds? Seems most internet sites wont ship to US:rasta:
Read around a bit. There is one post somewhere where people list a few good sites that do ship to the U.S. hempdepot.ca has good reviews for shipping to the states.
^^^^ i know i was once a noob, but be careful about noobs in their first 50 posts asking where to obtain things and telling them what companies are shipping to the US!!!
Just tell them to look around and do some searching..
True to that, good eye
well i will look around i know i can go to the club but strains are limited
if seeds are available with a source like a club, use them and work on your growing skills.. Ordering of the internet is a risk of seizer and some cases cops at the door..Quote:

Why not just buy a bunch of clones instead?
then you can make your own seeds!!!Quote:

i got sum maui wowie seeds, not tha strongest bud, but its decent
try depot.com takes a long time tho... but good ass strians... buydutchseeds.com are good an they make it within 2 weeks.... SEEDBAY.com is also very good n u get seeds by 3 weeks....
dude to make seeds are hard... u really gotta kno wtf u are doin... pollenation isnt hard but finding out which seeds are male n female are a hassel
You got that right! :DQuote:

Glad i could help! :D
I like theattitudeseedbank.com. I just got my sixth order this year with no issues with seeds being confiscated. This company has great selection, is located in the UK which brings it through New York. I had a seed order snagged at customs a year ago, but that came through the port of Chicago and was obviously contraband (just in a letter with Amsterdam post marks on it). The shipments from theattitude I get in 5-6 days from the day I order. I am on the east coast USA. They are not over priced, and they have track and trace shipping so you can follow the progress of your delivery. Packaging is very stealthy (double bubble packing so seeds are cradled in air!). And free seeds depending on your order total.
Ive done the clone thing and i grow bigger and better plants from seeds. do have some white widow growing that i got at blue sky but the other clones auto flowered early and were a disapointment. I have a cross that my friend have developed from blueberry and bubble gum we will see how it turns out.
well clones dont auto flower unless u got light leakeage... or times ar off.... but seeds are better cause they are 1st generation mother's BUT they take alot longer clones are more convienent
I grow outdoors and they autoflowered in may I dont beleive in growing indoors i like outdoor weed myself.
outdoors cant auto flower... u must have had an outdoor light goin off.... cause the sun is out for about 17 18 hours so how could they auto flower....? unless u were givin it a shit load of phos. indoors is so much more effective.... u can do 3 harvest by the time one out door is ready... yeah outdoor is good tho... really just depends on dryin phase....
Really why would you like outdoor better, the taste is better, but indoors produce way more THC if you grow indoor?
skunkgrower-
The best seeds can be found online. I dont want to post a link in here, but if you want the website just hit me up. Maybe look up Subcool seeds. KILLER GENETICS!!
Outdoors is the best...potent and much larger....indoors is alot of work.
I say start with a clone stay with a clone:thumbsup: Cuttings/clones are genetic copies of the parent plant and bear the same potential. That said, cuttings are equal only in genetics and potential. Some individuals will be more vigorous than their clone sibs. To preserve desirable characteristics, cuttings should only be taken from the healthiest and most vigorous clones.
Selection of good parents is still key when cloning clones. A tic mark in the "pro" column for maintaining a mum.
You can purchase clones online.... just like you can seeds

The idea of ??feminized? seeds is heralded as a new wave of breeding enabling you to grow only females, but in reality it is a less reliable and less effective method than simply cloning your favorite plant. Feminizing seeds is nothing new; in fact, it??s done from a process that used to be called ??hermaphroditic breeding? or ??Breeding with Herman?.
Even a leaf can root!
During the 1970s and ??80s it was often the case that the seeds you grew came from a bag of good bud. The bud usually had a name, but it was often made up by the local dealer trying to make his stash sound more exotic. In truth, you knew nothing about the parentage of the seeds that your bag contained. Sure, the female was great smoke ?? but you knew nothing of her size, shape, yield or genetics. The male involved was a total mystery; there was no way you could guess what the genetics of the pollen donor was. These seeds generally resulted in a range of plant genetics, which made one believe that there were a variety of males around when the female was budding.
As is often the case when genetics are mixed, you get failures and successes. More than one great breed was founded on a bag of random seeds. You would plant a hundred or so of the seeds you had, wait to see what Mother Nature ?? and your local dealer ?? had handed you, keep your fingers crossed hoping for a super-breed, and watched as some of the seeds came up. A few of the seedlings were sickly and didn??t live long, while others were strong, vigorous, and grew like weeds (pun intended), so you culled the sickly, nourished the healthy, and picked your favorites.
Through this lengthy and detailed process you would end up with a number of healthy young marijuana plants, which would be transplanted into large containers and, after ten to fourteen days, introduced to a budding cycle of 12 hours light and 12 hours dark. This causes the plants to elongate and show their sex, so it was easy to quickly find and kill the males and wait patiently (or impatiently!) for the remaining females to develop buds and ripen. Doing this inside grow rooms and greenhouses was easy and effective, but the seed planting and selection Fucking incredible, three weeks into floweringprocedure had to be repeated every year, and crops varied from big and dense to small and weak. We also found that after all that trouble of removing males, we sometimes ended up with females that switched sexes when they were stressed, resulting in accidental cross breeding ?? female plants were pollinated by females that developed male sex organs (hermaphrodites). We decided to grow out those seeds and, to our joy, we discovered that the ratio of females to males was skewed to a greater number of females. This was our discovery of hermaphroditic breeding.
Around the same time we were re-introduced to the method of cloning ?? I say re-introduced because while it wasn??t a process we had been using, it was a simple gardening technique my grandmother had shown me years before as ??making cuttings?. She would cut off a branch of a plant with a sharp knife and stick it into a hormone rooting solution, homemade from pieces of willow tree branches soaked in water. Growers these days buy rooting hormone, but the process is identical.
I had a crop of 20 young plants of various strain backgrounds. We took two clones from each of the plants, and then used the budding light cycle to force the sex to show. Once we identified the male plants (half of them) we killed them and their clones, which still left us with ten large budding females and their 20 clones.
Now we had ten different hybrid genetics in total with two clones from each to work with and choose from. Even though we were making great strides, we wanted a room full of the same breed with the same size and characteristics. Basically, we wanted many copies of one great female plant so made the decision to play ??Breeding Hermans?. We took two clones from one female plant, stressed one of the clones until it developed male sex organs, and then bred it with the other female clone. To our delight it worked ?? we ended up with seeds that grew into females 85-90 percent of the time and were consistent with the original female plant??s characteristics. We could now plant around 30 to 40 seeds and end up with 30 female plants the same size with the same genetics. We were ecstatic. Placing clones in the soil
However, silver linings often have a cloud attached and it was true in this case. The female plants that developed from hermaphroditic seeds had the drawback of being far more likely than ordinary plants to develop male branches ?? turn ??Herman? ?? when stressed. More than once, a power, pump or light failure caused enough stress to the plants that they easily went hermaphroditic. Outdoors we had even more trouble; in bad-weather years we could end up with a plant from a feminized seed developing male flowers and blowing pollen all over the other plants, ruining our dreams of a sinsemilla crop. We decided that feminized plants might have a place in our business?? industry, but it wouldn??t be in our gardens.
It was our dream to grow rooms full of females of consistent genetics, and we made our dream come true by going back to cloning. It was so simple that we couldn??t believe that we hadn??t thought of it before. We planted ten normal seeds and nourished them with love and care, but this time we took 25 clones from each plant instead of just two. Then we put the mothers into bud cycle and sexed them; within ten days we identified and killed off the male plants and their clones, and found that we had six large females in bud and around 150 female clones. We continued to bud the mothers as we began to grow our female clones, and finally decided there were two plants that stood out from the crowd ?? they were bigger, denser, and smelled the best, so we kept their clones and culled the others. We harvested all of the mothers then placed the 50 chosen young marijuana plants into two rooms and switched them to the budding cycle. We had developed a process that made our dream a reality: grow-rooms full of consistent female plants.
Rooted clone being transplanted
It doesn??t take a horticulturist to see that using cloning to procure a room full of female cannabis plants is far more economical than growing ??feminized seeds? that easily go hermaphroditic. It is simple to grow numerous female plants with only a few seeds of known genetics. For example, if you get ten seeds from a world-class marijuana breeder/bank, such as Burmese from Vancouver Island Seed Company (VISC), those seeds should become ten seedlings. At three to four weeks, take ten cuttings from each of the plants, then flip the plants to the bud cycle. Kill males as they show their sex and get rid of their clones, and you should be left with about five large budding females (more or less) and 50 guaranteed female clones of the same pure genetics, without any hermaphroditic tendencies.
So, for the price of ten seeds you end up with dozens of pure female plants, instead of purchasing ??feminized? seeds only to get an unstable and unpredictable hermaphroditic breed. You can use regular seeds to grow an all-female crop, and that??s why we don??t sell feminized seeds.

questions:
Is it more illegal to order clones to the US than seeds?
Will med clubs in Cali sell seeds to anyone or do you have to be a California resident and have a med card?
What is the likelihood that ordering seeds to your US residence from a reputable seed bank in Canada will catch the attention of law enforcement?
Several years ago I ordered seeds to my residence once before and didn't have any problems. I am trying to determine the amount of risk in doing it again.
How about someone posting some photos of male seeds and female seeds. I've never heard of such a distinguishing feature to show it. :jointsmile:Quote:

GO NOR CAL!
They have always been female. I used Sensi seeds and they have been great.Quote:
