Hey there, I’m a 2nd season barebones outdoor grower, and I posted about my plight on a growing forum on Reddit, and basically the only person there that wasn’t audibly scoffing their monocle off in response was a kind individual who DM’d me a link to this forum and told me I can find some likeminded individuals here, so here’s my problem (TL;DR below):
So my whole ethos getting into this hobby was seeing the bare minimum that was needed to grow what I consider a decent, tasty product to (mostly) roll spliffs with, and the more I can offset what I would have spent at the club for it, the happier I am. I don’t begrudge anyone with a $2000 setup for 6 plants as a hobby, but even if I had that lying around I’d rather start from the bottom, figure out what’s absolutely essential, what works the best for the least amount invested, and go from there.
About 45 weeks ago, I drunkenly realized I had seeds, a small pot, and soil in a bag lying around in my back yard one night, and threw just threw 6 in without much of a thought. A week later 5 sprouted and I go into “holy shit I can actually grow some weed” mode. I went deep researching (thanks growweedeasy), carefully transplanted each of those into their own pots, while frantically asking friends for extra seeds they had lying around and promised them 20% of whatever I got out of them.
Unfortunately for those seeds I got from friends, I realized later that by early July it was too late in the season (and I also definitely over-defoliated lol), most of those flowered before they were any respectable size, and between those factors and some extra bad luck with males with my original 5, I ended up with 2 plants I managed to get to final product, with an amount that lasted me to the end of the year, with some gifts going around for Christmas after they were done curing. Not a whole lot, but enough to encourage me to have another crack at it this year, and with what I’ve already learned, I’m optimistic.
I didn’t have a lot of seeds left, but my original plan in January was to start a smaller grow, supplementing the sun with a crappy light to see if I could trick the plants into thinking it was summer long enough to maturity and pollenate to get some more seeds for the main grow, and while I’m feeling pretty great about the size of those plants now (all things considered), they’re still not out of veg. I found some more seeds, but maybe this batch are duds because I’ve had zero success with them using the method I had been, or experimenting with other methods.
So I look online for seeds. Not feminized, not auto, just seeds. Straight off the plant, no processing, with a price that reflects that… and I literally can’t find anything. And I don’t blame the seed companies, why bother sending someone regular seeds for a buck a piece or something like that when you can soak 100,000 seeds in a vat of some hormone and charge 10-20x that? But I really don’t care about having the offspring of this year’s cannabis cup winner, from some name brand.
I just want some regular ass seeds, and I can’t justify anything even approaching $100 for 10 seeds after my entire grow for last year cost me $50 ($20 for grow bags, $25 for grove bags, $5 for humidity sensor, got the soil on a come up after talking to a guy at the nursery, hose water).
I’ve had a loose rule with myself since that last grow that I won’t smoke weed that wasn’t either grown by me or freely given without my asking, but I know I’m running out the clock for this season now, so I’m contemplating calling up every club in the county asking if they have any schwag with seeds in it, since that was where I got the last seeds and it came out better than the bud I got it from somehow. But I’d feel much better about it if I didn’t have to do that (plus I’m interviewing for a new job so I can’t smoke the weed now anyway).
TL;DR: does anyone know of a site that sells discount regular-ass seeds? Dgaf about auto, dgaf about feminized, dgaf about marketable genetics or even a name attached to them at all. I’m just trying to take the next step from my first grow last year and keep it as barebones as possible, and I really feel like these companies that sell seeds and grow accessories these days are just gouging the everloving shit out of people because they can’t charge the same exorbitant prices for the bud itself they could 15+ years ago.
will come out of them.
