Clone would be better for a nubie. That way u know its female.

Although it is a good thing to know how to sex the plants, when growing from seed, dude, just get a dozen clones, and grow females right from the start.

 

There are so many good strains around in clone form.

 

Peace !!

i do understand clones are easier etc but this isn't just to grow... When i do something I like to learn as much as possible so I would not mind starting from seed and watch her grow up, I may even go a little scientific with a couple seeds and dissect them under a microscope check em out see if they have any different internal traits between male and fem.

guess u have an extra month or two to wait for meds from seeds, as well as the randomness of the selection process. kinda an expensive experiment I'd say.

im not to worried about the expense as im in no rush really i have a stable job and very little bills, im a minimalist

Beagle, growing is something that can start simply. You don't need to know and analyze all all at once. Not only that but with all the balls in the air, it can be too much and not lead you to understanding.

 

The clones are a good starting idea. You wouldn't need a seedling area or separate veg and bloom areas.

 

By far, clones into a combined veg/bloom room is a simple and easy way to get started.

 

Then you could expand into learning how to do your own clones.

 

ultimately working with seeds, cloning them, and separate seedling and veg areas.

And then into a perpetual harvest. (separate veg and bloom areas are essential to a perpetual harvest)

 

It can be done in phases and scientifically, over a couple years. Learning each new aspect as it is added. Just saying it may help you to reduce some variables. Starting up anyway.

 

good luck...that's my best and hopefully humble advice...All said, there are many ways to do this and I don't know much(disclaimer). best of luck and these boards are great for growing tips.

Ditto....be legal and don't ask others to be illegal

Go to amazon and buy Marijuana Horticlture by jorge cervantes and read read read. Good luck

Starting from seed should only be done by experienced folks, if not it will lead to failure. (male plant, root rot, nute burn, stunting,) just to name a few.. + it will take on average 2 months longer.

Plus u might go through all this just to find out what u have is junk, or a hermi-(female that grew male frowers and seed'd the meds)

 

This is why it's better to start from a proven clone from a proven grower.

 

There is plenty to learn starting with a clone, you need to learn to read the plant and learn what products u want to use. long before u think of starting beans.

 

The best thing u could do is find someone that can provide u a clone and don't mind a few phone calls for questions along the way.

 

 

Wish u luck friend..

 

 

Oh p.s. please start in dirt.. don't even think about hydro for a few years..

Great Advice!!! I wish someone would have given it to me.

Anyone can start from seed. It's not hard at all. If they fail start some more.

If you have the time seed is not a bad idea

I would recommend doing a mix of both. Pop a few clones into flower to familiarize yourself with that most critical stage of growth. Seeds take more care and patience but are great for learning because you take the plant through it's entire life-cycle - germination, caring for sprouts, sexing, pheno sorting, cloning etc - all skills that will make you a better grower.
