How to Acquire Marijuana Seeds in Oklahoma

Did you know that Oklahoma citizens have spent 1.5 billion USD on cannabis products since its legalization in 2018? If you, too, consume these products regularly, you know that the costs can rake up. Moreover, it is not legal for an adult to possess more than a specific amount of cannabis products, so you would have to keep buying them repeatedly. If you want to limit the frequent visits to medical marijuana dispensaries, and cut down on your cannabis expenses, growing your own supply is the perfect solution!

For growing cannabis at home, you will need seeds. You may obtain these seeds online or at a dispensary. So, keep reading to find out whether online seed banks are reliable, is it better to grow cannabis from clones or seeds and more.

Buying Marijuana Seeds in Oklahoma 

The good thing about living in Oklahoma as a 420-friendly individual is how easy it is to obtain medicinal marijuana. Similarly, some dispensaries carry seeds, but they may not be available at every outlet in the state. You not only need marijuana seeds in Oklahoma to grow cannabis at home, but also an MMJ card Oklahoma. The reason for this is that consuming cannabis for recreational purposes is still illegal in the state. If you do not have an MMJ card yet, you can easily and quickly obtain it from 420 Doctors Oklahoma.

After you have obtained the card, you can legally purchase marijuana seeds. As aforementioned, your nearest dispensary may not carry the seeds, so it would save you some trouble to call and confirm. If you are unable to physically purchase the seeds, the next option would be to check online.

You may be able to procure marijuana seeds online at the seeds bank, which we will discuss in detail later on.

Seeds Vs. Clones 

If you are looking for a clear answer to whether seeds are better or clones for growing cannabis yourself, you may not find it anywhere. They both have different growing methods and it all comes down to your preferences. So, let’s look at both options individually.

Seeds 

Growing cannabis from seeds is actually quite straightforward, and may even feel easy to someone who has some experience with growing plants. However, there are some things that you should still be aware of, such as:

Plants can sprout as male or female, and you should get rid of the male plants at the earliest possible. Otherwise, they will pollinate the female plants, resulting in heavily seeded cannabis buds. You can also avoid this by ensuring that you only buy “feminized seeds.”

It is possible that marijuana grown from seeds may yield more as compared to when it is grown from clones. It could be so because seeds allow the plants to grow taproots, which is the main part of the cannabis plant’s root system. It is also responsible for absorbing nutrients from the soil.

Clones 

If you purchase marijuana clones from a dispensary, you will most likely get one that already has a root mass. Otherwise, growing a healthy root mass might become your biggest hurdle. Thus, try to purchase the clone from a reliable source as it will make the growing process much easier for you.

It is also easy to overwater clones, so that’s something you should keep in mind.

Regardless of the potential disadvantages of both methods, you have to be alert and diligent when purchasing the seeds/ clones. As you plan on investing your time and energy into growing the plant, it is best to check that what you are starting with, is in good condition. Doing so will spare you lots of hassle in the future, and you won’t have to worry about male plants sprouting.

Moreover, the plants will yield sooner as they would already be prepared for the vegetative growth stage.

Thus, we can conclude that both ways have their own upsides and downsides, so you can choose according to your preferences.

What are Online Seeds Banks and is it Safe to Purchase There? 

A seed bank is similar to a gene bank, as it stores seeds to preserve genetic diversity. There are various reasons to store the seeds, such as increasing drought tolerance, taste, disease resistance, yield, nutritional quality, etc. Most seed banks are funded by the public. So is it safe to purchase from an online seed bank?

• As a resident of Oklahoma, it is illegal for you to purchase cannabis and its products from other states. Even the U.S. Department of Agriculture is not in favor of these seed banks, as they:
  
• Are usually based outside of the USA, and will ship internationally.
• Refer to cannabis as “novelty” rather than medicinal, and thus, will charge you as such.
• Hide the seeds in random objects like t-shirts and mugs.

Due to these reasons, it already seems like a bad idea to purchase marijuana seeds from an online seed bank. Additionally, you’d have to deal with the following:

• You may be in constant worry as you may not know if the seeds you purchased from an international website are even going to reach you. Moreover, they take a very long time to reach you and get spoiled on the way. You are highly unlikely to find a website that guarantees the delivery of your parcel.
• If your parcel gets stopped at the customs office, and the officials find you purchasing cannabis products from outside of the country, you will get in trouble.
• Another highly possible outcome is that the company you purchase from may list non-psychoactive cannabis plants as well-known strains with high levels of THC. You really have no way of telling just by looking online.

So, while it may seem like an easy way to procure the seeds, they may never even reach you or get you in trouble with the authorities. Thus, it is not a great idea to purchase cannabis seeds from an online seed bank, especially when you live in a progressive state like Oklahoma!

Therefore, it is best to buy cannabis seeds at a dispensary within your state- it’s hassle-free and safe!
