Hey everyone! I wanted to reach out to get some solid advice from experienced folks before I jump in. I want to make sure I'm being safe, smart, and informed.
From my basic research, it seems like everything falls into three main categories Indica, Sativa and Hybrid. But I frequently hear terms like hydro, mango and other regional strain names, I'd love to know what are the difference between each varieties and how to identify it.
If dealing with local contacts, what are basic safety guidelines, red flags, and proper etiquette I should follow without making me look completely clueless what questions should I ask?
Would love to hear your personal recommendations, lessons you learned when you first started out, or anything you wish you had known day one!
Thanks in advance!
