Hi everyone. I'm a newbie/first time grower. Well...a would be first timer if I could solve an issue I have. Here's the deal:
I found a couple of seeds from a really nice bag o sticky, so I decided to plant em. I'm having trouble finding suppliers so being self-sufficient is turning out to be my only option (quitting seems too dull). I've had them germinating for about 50 hours and no luck. Although, I've been impatient and checked on them about once every 10 hours or so. I know they may need more time to germinate, but there is a possibilty they will not. So to counter the potential that both seeds are useless (or if they both turn out to be males), I'm starting to consider buying seeds online..... but I'm paranoid as HELL. I can't get past the question of where to have them shipped. I was thinking about a rule I keep seeing online.....NEVER ship to the address of your garden. It makes sense..but...does it really matter? The way I see it, any other shipping option can be traced to me. If my name pops up, what's to stop the authorities from just looking up my address and swinging over to investigate? I've thought about shipping to my work or a PO box....but again, I almost don't see the point in doing so.
I have everything I need to start a garden but the seeds....which is no good. Even IF the seeds I have germinate, I'd still consider buying seeds of a really nice strain (then maybe get into cloning). I'd love some input from you all. Trying to make this decision without access to others' experience or advice probably isn't a bright idea. What do you think?
PS - I won't waste your time asking where to get them online. I have a couple of sites in mind.
