Seed vs Clones

I was just wondering for if I were to start growing, what would be the best beginner method? (SEEDS or CLONES)

i agree.. seeds are the way to go.. if you get a ten pack of seeds, you may find one or two plants that just outperform the others, or have a phenotype that has what you are looking for from the strain, better yeild, stronger smoke, color, whatever it maybe..
in clones, your only getting one set of genes.. whatever the mother had, your also gonna have.. and also with clones, unless you grew out the mother plant, your not going to know much about them..
i like to grow from seed, and if i find a plant that i like, i can always take clones off of her and keep the genetics going..

usually clones that are available are selected phenotypes anyways. Clones will stretch less in flower, be bushier, and are sexually mature. This means they will switch over from vegetative growth to flowering much faster, yield more, and are more potent. Unless of course you veg your seed born plants long enough to become sexually mature.

The biggest thing i think is all the clones will have the same requirements as their mother plant (in the same state of growth and size of course) and "sisters". This will allow you to read your plant(s) much better as all of your plants will be genetically identical. I suggest you pick up a clone of something like northern lights. I think that would be the best way to learn honestly but maybe im wrong.

if you want the learning exp. go with a seed but if you just want easy pot to smoke go with a clone.i pay $10 a clone and about $8 to make each bucket ,if you have lights your ready to start after a trip to walmart. this is a hempy bucket,it's super easy..

for my first grow i did seeds, and you know what i learned that clone growing to me isnt very fun and seemed a little harder for me, i would say start from seed, more experience and this way you learn more about reading the plants signs, and how to fix those problems.

I will do clones every time! If you can get clones that is the way to go.

clones is the way to go if you have a good source, but starting from seed is a better learning experience and you'll be able to take your own cuttings :D
