No worries, id rather be informed then waste money. Now as for genetics I'm guessing i need to order seeds? What kind of seed companies are the best to go with, with strong genetics, from your experience.
Yeah, if you can't get cuts from someone... order seeds.
Short answer: sannieshop daht c0m (fix it)
Long answer:
Man, there are lots of good breeders out there. Lots of good seedbanks too...
Attitude Seedbank
Hemp Depot
Sea of Seeds
Sannies Shop
Peakseedsbc (Don't forget the bc... peakseeds.com is a scam... peakseedsbc daht c0m is legit.)
There are more... but those ones I can speak of from experience. If you are on a budget.... Peakseedsbc is good, sannies shop is good, also BeanHo seeds at Hempdepot daht c0m. I have very high quality genetics from those three that were super cheap.
After you get good seeds.... the key to taking it to the next level is selecting a good mother from the pack of seeds. Each seed will have a little variation from it's siblings. Yield, resin, etc...
Whether you get 5 female seeds or 10 regular seeds... you will probably end up with about 4 healthy female plants... take cuts from those 4 females. Flower the cuttings and keep the original plant from seed in the vegetative state. Keep the cutting and mothers numbered so you know which clone is from which mother. After you flower the cutting, you get to see how each plant yields, resin content, pest/mold resistance, etc,,, then, just choose the best plant of the 4, throw out the others and you have yourself a great mother to pull clones from for years and years. Working from clones has many benefits. Most importantly... you know your mothers are top notch, so every inch of your flower room is always filled with something you know is going to be great.
It is a lot of work and takes a good 6 months to go from ordering the seeds to having your mother selected... but that is how you get GREAT genetics, rather than good genetics. If you want to step it up... select from more mothers... go through 2 packs to get 1 plant.
If the whole selecting a mother thing sounds like too much work... no sweat. Just order feminized seeds from a reputable breeder at one of the sites above and just grow from seed. Maybe you like variety and prefer that route anyway...
If you see stuff you like, just search around forums and see what people are saying about it. If it is no good, the word gets around.
