Every cannabis cultivator aims to have the best harvest possible, in order to do this, growers measure and adjust the temperature, humidity, light intensity, and every other variable in the grow space. But, beginner growers forget that one of the most important aspects of cannabis growing is to start with the best quality strains you can get your hands on.
This happens because the quality of the genetics will dictate the potential that strain has in terms of yields, potency, and overall quality which means that even in perfect conditions, results can still be underwhelming if you don’t buy seeds from reputable seed banks or vendors.
Especially when growing on a budget it’s extremely important to choose the best genetics without spending a lot, here’s a list of our top 10 cheapest seeds that will reward you with top-shelf buds for only 9 euros each!
