that is very true Bass... That is part of the reason i am getting in to growing.. got sick of the prices and the junk buds.. I mean heck the price for the 5 Pack is 20 bucks less then what an 1/8 goes for around here..
First grow I'd recommend sweet cheese or afghan mush Ryder. Check herbies head shop for seeds there very fast on shipping and great seeds.one thing with auto's is every strain reacts different to the nutes. Stay with one strain.
I grew afghan mass autos and an amnesia. Outdoors in Cali in 4 gallon. Grew pretty big and nice stretch. Tallest was about 3 feet. Good yield decent buds
