the 7 hr strain I hear is only avail by clone these days.
Which is BS cuz it takes another 7 hrs to trim all the damn bud it massively produces in 7 hrs.
it's really the 14 hr strain.
once the seed germinates(tap root comes out) plant it. Or just put it in dirt and water it. Light is not required until it sprouts. Then just give it 12 hrs of light and 12 hrs or dark until it is done.
It really doesn't matter if they are legal and in your name. Having a firearm if you have plants there makes it a violent crime. Additional mandatory 7 yrs here. If your plants aren't at your house you are in the clear.
