    It happens but always make sure u plant the root down. And have it under 24 hr light in the soil till it pops up. Trial and error just be patient and u will be a good grower in no time. Im just about to chop down my smallest plant tonight. For more of an uplifting buzz the others are going 2 more weeks for more of a couch lock feeling.

    Dam dude order from the vault seeds. Way cheaper than that. I just got like 28 seeds and was like 20 bucks I believe. And one ufo isn't gonna bud a a couple plants. And cfls are a joke honestly. Buy u a led a decent one. Hell a mars hydro 96 would do good .

    not sure where you're at but I know that at my local garden centre I can buy a variety of seeds. go get some regular seeds (veg, flower, grass) and experiment with them. few days playing with diff types of seeds will give you a great understanding of what works and doesn't.
