Seeds

hi what do people think is better clones or seeds I have never grown from seed I know most of it is down to the grower but ??? I have been looking on a new seed bank tismheadshop.com looking at female seeds

Well for production clones are better. You know what you're getting and won't be tossing runts or hermies. A bunch of clones will always grow the same and makes for a nice even canopy.

But trying to get good clones is getting harder that is why I thought seeds

Seeds are a gamble, shotgun a bunch and select the ones that are superior, make a mom for the keepers and cut clones off them. Of course this requires a lot of time and energy and a dedicated veg area. Some will take cuts off each plant before sending them into flower or about 15 - 20 days into flower. Other reveg the good plants. Either way it's a hassle but if going into production level growing clones are the only way to go.

Where I live I am lucky to know many growers and good dispensaries to get proven genetics from in clone form. For most the seed option is the only viable one.

for me personally i like starting from complete scratch so i run seed primarily and never fucked with clones yet but will eventually just for experience. me and my friend are currently racing with grows to see who is the better grower of course i am going to win even though he has better climates for growing then i do.

business wise it makes more sense to grow from clones then seeds due to being cheaper plus your growing a specific pheno instead of various pheno's. if you look in my grow journal im growing 3 strawberry coughs from seeds. all fem and you can see how they all reacted and grew up differently. they have different structures, different node spacings, different everything yet are all kept under the same conditions.

for me my thoughts are if your serious about growing for personal consumption you got to try both one way or the other. you dont need to keep a mother plant just take out clones and let it run it's course if you want or do w.e. seeds are not really hard to grow from my experience im actually planning to start learning how to clone in my next grow because i have 1 seed of a strain i want to run more of and i dont want to buy more seeds so im just going to try my hand at cloning it. it is goes wrong then fuck it at least i learned what i did wrong and can move on. if it works then great.

Last time I sprouted a seed was in 2004. lol So what do I know.

Can you recommend a good seed bank I’m in the UK
My mate has put me in touch with one he uses tismheadshop.com

I ordered from seedsupreme, a UK based vendor. For some reason my seeds sat in a distribution center for weeks before it was shipped to my state. I imagine you would get your package must faster than I did (mine took 5 weeks in total)

I hear good things about Herbies. There are a few others too.

I’ve ordered from the Attitude several times successfully. Good freebies too for starting your own vault.
Seeds or clones makes no difference, just get something in the dirt.

Buy a good strain of seed. Feminized if you're inexperienced. Grow 1 or 2 of the seeds to start. Clone during flower. Read about flowering clones and monstercropping. Buy 5 seeds and grow for a very long time. Screw clones unless you are getting started and can't pop a seed. With seeds you don't bring home bugs and diseases.
