Seed growing vs. Sprout growing

[nickit]

i want to know the pro's and con's of both growing from a seed and growing from an already sprouted plant.

someone i know is trying to sell me sprouts and i want to know if its worth the money to shave off only a week or so.

say what? i am not even sure i know how to answer that.

Plants or normally sold in seed form or clone form. I guesss spouts would be an option but it is not the normal way of doing things. If you took the seeds and sprouted them you might be 10 days or so further behind than if you took the sprouts. Is that a big deal?

You did not mention how much more the sprouts were than the seeds so it's pretty hard to give you much of an answere. Are you sure the sprouts are marijuana?

:eek: someone is selling sprouts now??? Somehow I just can't grasp that one. Is this a local thing? They are so delicate at that stage that transporting would be out of the question imho.

yep, down the street theres a shady lookin guy with a trench coat with little sprouts in pots. he sells them for $10 a pop



no im kidding, my friend has another friend (or something) that has them and he wants to give them to me for "damn near free" so thats why i wanna know.

I guess in that case it would depend on the genetics and how much you trust these people to produce what they say they will.

As for the trenchcoat thing lol, I was just saying that if someone pm'd you about selling you some sprouts they wouldn't survive a mail trip. Didn't know if you were a seasoned grower or a noob :). Just trying to help.

I guess the real question to be asking is -- " Are these sprouts or already sexed female clones ? " If they are merely sprouted seeds, then I would think you would have no real advantage in time. But, if they are already sexed female clones, then you would be quite a bit more than a week ahead. But, what are the genetics, and are they appropriate medicine for you ? Good luck and good gardening -dug
