There is a big difference between bag seed and purchased seeds: With bag seeds, you really don't know what your trying to grow. How tall or short, heavy or light feeder, grows bushy or thin, begin flowering early at 24 days or late at 60 days, flowering time 56 days or 85 days,etc., etc. At least with purchased seeds, you are buying something with a history to HELP you grow and increase your chance for success...... so screw the bag seed. There is nothing cheap about growing anymore- if you want it done right. Seed cost, lighting, electricity, nutrients, other supplies, reverse osmosis device, fan, odor control, soil (or whatever you use), etc.
