Absolutely true, and I don't disagree a bit about that!

Yup... although my recommendation for a beginner strain is CHEAP... plain ol' Afghan. I think it's like $15 a packet from Nirvana and worth every penny. Takes very well to indoor conditions.

True dat. That's how I started myself... lots of shit spindly sativas that made me nuts, but when I started getting my friends to save me seeds from 'nooks' (Canadian indoor) and other mids, it was the start of a breeding project that I've been working on, saving the hardiest, burliest plants that are hardest to kill. Somewhere in my grow log is a pic that the Yeag posted of some of my stuff that he grew out and he told me it is pretty indestructible.

Nice to see you around the boards!!! It's been a while, eh?
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . stupid question... but DIRT WEED? ok.. so were all familiar with the term dirt weed.. but i never knew why it was produced and how come its always shitty, dry, and tons of seeds? is it because whoever grew it didnt snip the males, causing the females to pollinate? I have like a dozen seeds from dirt weed im practicing on in my pc case, but this was a question i was wondering.. thanks Rating: 5
