I disagree with growing bag seed first. If you do enough reading and set everything up right and have all your ducks in a row, its worth it to pay for the good genetics from the get go. Otherwise you waste 4 months growing substandard weed when you could have the bubonic chronic. I can see how you might want to learn before you drop $100+ on seeds, but its really not THAT hard to figure out if you do enough research before you start.
