I hate to say it but feminized autoflower seems to be the easiest way to go, no keeping separate lighting zones on different timers, just flower when it's their time. They say autoflowers tend to be a bit less potent but I'm thinking the solution is to just smoke more if it's even an issue.
where would be the best place to buy them? the stores that support hipforums are based overseas; will they ship to the US? has anyone bought from them?
Decided to dive into weed discussions ahah cause once I was also a first time grower and asked everything on how and where to start… Agree that for the first time it’s really better to choose feminized weed seeds or autoflowers. Simply they will save you time, ideal for beginners and there are more female plants compare to regular seeds. If you're interested, I can show you my growing results outdoors - it's my treasure. Good luck with your first plant!
I highly recommend The Vault and Barney's - both very reputable seed vendors, and they support the HipForums! Buy Cannabis Seeds Cannabis Seeds | BARNEYS FARM UK
