hello ari, the yellow type is actually the original. it is a bit faster maturing in comparison to the purple type and it is interchangeable in medicine–the yellow buds are very powerful. richo

Question
Margaret FitzGibbon –
Seed arrived late due to covid. Would I be better off growing in my (unheated) greenhouse to extend the season (we are zone 5-6) or do you think I could still get an outdoor harvest? Plants germinated 5/27.

These never do much in the garden until the weather really warms up, then grow very quickly. you have plenty of time, and frankly may be better off with something like this starting later as opposed to earlier. r
