yes, bag seeds are the best way to save money but no matter what you plant, that is what you will reap. they all grow about the same and there are no hard strains or easy ones any more than cherry tomatoes are harder to keep than beefeaters. i suggest reading THRU an entire grow guide before starting anything then getting your equipment together. THEN, get some seeds...after you've read enough to know what you're talking about when you have a question. beyond that it's mostly common sense and taking care of the plants w/o loving them to death.
