How can I (a beginner) begin growing plants?

[MiHale]

9. Hi there!...

I have a fairly longish post on the new grow I started this winter. The growing of cannabis has undergone a tremendous change in the last 20 years or so. Tons of info out there, maybe too much it can get confusing. If you think politics is divisive hang on to your hat.
Seeds are easy to get online. There are seed banks that represent many different breeders, kinda like a supermarket. Then there are the small artisan breeders. At first I’d say stick with the bigger banks first till you get your feet under yourself.
Bigger question is … type of plant, a photoperiod type that requires lighting changes you make to move it from a vegetation state to flower or an Autoflower type that moves through the changes all on its own with no input from you. This is the first question you need to answer.

Here’s some help…
