welcome to the growery. check out whatever company seed your after and see if they sell to your country and see if they are cheaper on there own website or make your own f1's
-------------------- DO NOT USE mushmagic.com- THEY LIE AND SELL DRUGS TO CHILDREN -------------------------------------------------- Back the tape up. I need it again! Let it roll! Just as high as the fucker can go! And when it comes to that fantastic note where the rabbit bites its own head off, I want you to THROW THAT FUCKING RADIO INTO THE TUB WITH ME! Not me. It would blast you through the wall stone dead in ten seconds and they'd make me explain.

All I can tell you is that when you order from a sponsor you know what you are getting and that you will get it. You are going to pay pretty high prices for some of the 'elite' seeds, but you can still find like mix bags of them for just a couple dollars per seed.
I mean honestly...............lets say 100$=10 seeds. Now lets be conservative and say you get 5 ounces(will probably be much more). Or hell clone the little bastards, keep some mother plants around from the seeds. You do the math.
I don't mind paying for quality seeds..you get what you pay for.

Since you're talking dollars, my guess is that you're US.
We don't ship outside the UK, but you won't have any problem finding seed banks that do. Some have reasonable shipping, others not so much. The reason is that they lose some seeds in customs, some to theft at the postal service & some to plain old bad luck.
If you look hard, you can find seeds at less than $10 each - that's 6.70 GBP today - but you have to look for them. And, generally, the more you buy, the cheaper they are - plus, you can look for bundled freebies to get a bigger bang for your buck.
Lots of seedbanks have ongoing coupon codes that'll give you an instant 10% off - they're pretty much common knowledge & easy to find.
If you want to go with regular seeds instead of feminized, you can also get better deals on some of the brands - it just kind of depends.
For feminized, I believe our most affordable brands right now are Vision Seeds, Pyramid Seeds & Female Seeds. Seedsman has some good deals too. It just depends on what you're looking for.
Because you're in the US, make sure you pay close attention to the terms & conditions for ordering when you settle on a vendor. Some shops will guarantee shipments into the US for nothing extra, some charge quite a bit extra, and some won't do it at all.

We are trying, the feds have to start taxing it if its legal so that will crumble any basis they have to keep it illegal. Or so i believe, they always find new ways to quote things in thier favor haha XD

Well, Rhino's the exception in so many ways then - lots of women on staff.
You'd think it would be more even - in the business & on the forums. I haven't done a head count, but I'm pretty sure I know at least as many women who smoke as men if not more.

Yeah, but how many grow. It seems that there are far more guys growing.
It's good to know that about Rhino. As soon as ya start shipping the states I'll definitely order some genetics from you.

I know a few women on another forum who grow, but it is definitely a male-dominated sport.
If it was legal where I live, I'd do it in a heartbeat - fascinated by it all. And seeing real pictures from real people make me even more interested in it.

I use flat white paint, it's quite a bit more reflective than mylar. Mylar sucks IMO. It reflects unevenly creating hotspots. As you can see I also put up white poster board to reflect back as well.

What about the inside of the tents? That's shiny stuff isn't it? Probably not that thin mylar stuff, but still shiny.
Sorry - only seen pictures of them, but they look shiny rather than white.

That stuff is similar to mylar. I don't know why they don't use white It's more reflective, and diffuses hot spots.

I just saw this. I myself used flat white paint. One of the reason I transferred all my grows to the tents is ease when it comes to hanging crap like lights and such. When there is a emergency location change the plants get put into the exact same room as they were in before. Then there is the way they improve environmental factors and make them easier to control. One of the things improved is light. The sides of the tents (or at least the good ones) are made with a process that won't cause hot spots no matter what angle the light hits them. I broke out my meter (chy 332) and tested this myself. I found no hotspots and the claim of 1/3 more light getting to the plants tested true.
The chy 332 meter used to test with

But wouldn't white still be a better reflector? I understand that the material in tents is better than mylar, and doesn't have the hot spot issues. I just don't understand why they don't make em white.
Hey I didn't edit this post on purpose I ment to edit mine and hit this one by mistake. I remove what I put and put this lame explanation. Sorry Hawk

I can't remember where, but I saw some white ones recently.
I think they were marketed as the lower end of this brand's scale with the shiny stuff being at the higher end.

The ones with white in them suck. That is just the inside of a tent lined with mylar. The good tents even protect against thermal guns.
Here is what I put on Hawks post by accident.
When tested with a meter the flat white didn't come close. No matter what kind of light I used. I tested with 600, and 1000watt MH and HPS lights. To be honest the meter wasn't even needed it's that obvious. I'm with you the results were quite surprising esp after I'd been using flat white paint for the previous 22 years.
