I'm in nearing the end of my 1st time and I used bagseed. I thought about long and hard about buying some beans online and I'm glad I didn't. My plant looks alright, but there was a learning curve for sure, even in spite off all the books, DVDs and forums. You 'll need to put together your grow area and tweak that, figure out how your nutes work in your environment and so on. My opinion is get your ducks in a row with your grow area and stuff, meanwhile you can research what strains you might want to try (dude there are SO freakin many) and where to get your seeds from. Just my 2 cent
