I was reading some article somewhere a couple weeks ago targeted at getting "how to" type info to new growers. Anyhow, it had an interesting theory that if you're going to start out growing from seed, you should grow bag seed. Their reasoning was that while genetics CAN be a part of it, the grower will be more the ultimate determination. Meaning that a novice grower with the most expensive, best genetic seeds on the planet might get hardly any yield with low potency. While a "master grower" can take bag seed and grow it right to produce nice, sticky, potent, top shelf buds.
I dunno....I think that's a little simplistic reasoning, myself, and there are too many factors to just say that a novice should stick to the cheapest seeds they can find.
What do you think, LS?
