This will be a home for all things related to the cultivation of cannabis. The preferred focus here will be organic and sustainable growing methods, but any cannabis growers or growers-to-be are welcome!
The moderator and community creator here is in a legal cannabis state. It is therefore assumed that everyone sharing photos and info about their grows is also doing so legally. If you're not, then keep that to yourself. Any mention of actively conducting a cannabis grow illegally will be removed. This is to protect our instance admin, and will be a zero-tolerance policy.
Happy growing!

Mail order is an option but the legality is tricky, so use appropriate caution. Phylos Bio is a much-hated but serious breeder. The prices are insane $155 USD for 25 seeds. But given the amount of work it takes to come even close to inbreeding parent lines and evaluating hybrids, I don’t think that’s too far off a fair price.
Many of the cheaper options don’t really use the complex vocabulary of plant breeding correctly on their sites, so Im not convinced they have all done the work.
There are some companies in europe that claim to have stabilized some landraces. For a home grower, getting two of those and going to the trouble to do a reciprocal feminized cross, well you’d be popping new treats every crop for years to come.
I appreciate it! I will be looking into Phylos this evening as I've never heard of them!
I've played the 'our genetics are stable we swear' game one too many times and am willing to pay for reliability.
