that's the good spirit i guess, the one i follow anyway....what you pay is what you get and your input on the growing process is rewarded better in the end if you combine it with a good strain.....personally i would never get to grow some ordinary bag-seeds, even now that i have some seeds from my first grow i would not use them....nahhhh!
anyway, i hope your friend picks what he thinks is right for him/her, as a newbbie it's normal to make mistakes...when in doubt for anything don't hesitate to ask
