According to Pew Research Center, millions of Americans love the legalization wave that has hit the US in the past five years. So far, 37 states have legalized cannabis for medical use and 16 others – for recreational use. However, the federal government hasn’t legislated national laws to govern cannabis use. 

Millions of Americans are embracing cannabis because of its nutritional and health benefits. Besides, thousands are joining the growing bandwagon for personal and commercial weed use. But irrespective of one’s goals, one thing remains paramount: high-quality and cheap cannabis seeds. Choosing qualitative cheap seeds determines how much returns you get on your investment. 

This post shares the top ten affordable seeds for your next cultivation project [so you can enjoy home grown marijuana]. Here are the top ten cheap marijuana seeds suitable for efficient growing.

Special Kush 1

Special Kush 1 opens our list of cheap seeds online to help you meet your growing goals. This strain comes with the best Hindu Kush genetics. The seed originates in Afghanistan and Pakistan, a region popular for producing some of the world’s best cannabis.

The seed is an 80% indica hybrid best suited for indoor and outdoor growing. If you plant it in a tent, it takes 7-8 weeks before flowering. Outdoor cultivation allows it to yield up to 550g per plant, which you can harvest in late September. It can also grow outdoors and reach 200–300cm.

Quick One

Quick One is another top pick descending from the popular Lowryder, the first-ever auto-flowering variety on the market. The strain grows fast and gets ready for harvesting in two months. If it’s planted under ideal indoor conditions, you can harvest up to 325g/m². Its outdoor growing yields up to 150g per plant. Its indoor height is 50–60 cm and 60–100 cm for outdoor cultivation. The plant has a 13% THC level and offers citrusy, fruity, and herbal flavors. 

Royal Medic

Royal Medic is another top selection you can opt for this year. This seed descended from Juanita la Lagrimosa, a Spanish breed rich in CBD. The strain is highly potent and produces high yields. It has a 75% sativa composition. The crop can grow up to a height of around 120–150 cm. It grows fast and matures in 9 weeks. 

Under optimal conditions, you can harvest some 525g/m² under indoor settings and 475–525g per plant in outdoor environments. This strain is well-balanced with a 1:1 ratio, containing equal CBD and THC levels of around 10%. 

Dance World

Dance World is one of the favorite cheap marijuana seeds growers can exploit. It’s a bestseller descended from the famous Spanish Juanita la Lagrimosa. This breed is heavily sativa, up to 75%. You can grow it indoors and reach a height of 90cm, but it grows slightly taller in outdoor settings. 

It starts flowering at 8 weeks. Its indoor production capacity is 525g/m². Planting it outdoors produces 425g per plant if you harvest it in early October. It’s also a balanced 1:1 strain featuring around 12% THC and CBD. You can check hot deals with this and other cheap seeds at AskGrowers.

Banana Blaze

Growers seeking classic heavy yields from Afghani Kush can get them from Banana Blaze. It’s one of the best sellers on the market with a rare sweet, fruity, and creamy banana taste. You can expect a bumper harvest from this strain early because it blooms in 8 weeks. 

Critical Orange Punch

Critical Orange Punch is another cheap option. Its parent genetics come from Critical X (Grandaddy Purple and Orange Bud). These seeds produce plants with great orange, lemon, and mandarin flavors. The breed yields buds with high THC contents. You can expect your plants to flower in around 8 weeks. 

Cbd, Cbd Kapseln, Cannabidiol

Skywalker Haze

Skywalker Haze is a top choice for those seeking a photoperiod feminized strain. This seed has high THC levels, with its parent genetics coming from Original Skywalker and Amsterdam Amnesia. This fast-growing breed blooms after 9 weeks and produces heavy yields. This sativa-dominant breed is potent and yields optimally when grown in indoor and outdoor conditions. 

Space Cookies 

Space Cookies is a highly balanced indica/sativa hybrid. The breed is hardy and produces bushy branches. It handles stress training well and is well suited to grow at all levels because of its robust nature and ability to handle mistakes. You can harvest over 80 grams of thick, aromatic buds from one plant.

Sapphire OG – Humboldt Seeds

Sapphire OG is another cheap strain you can grow without compromising your overall output quality. The breed is hardy with stable genetics. Sapphire OG is a feminized Indica-dominant hybrid. 

The award-winning Humboldt strain is the genetic ancestor of these seeds. Thus, Sapphire OG-Humboldt offers different intense citrusy, piney flavors native to high-quality Kush strains.

Kush N’ Cheese 

Lastly, you can grow cheap plants by going for Kush N’ Cheese. Dinafem breeds this cannabis strain that features a cheesy taste. This strain has beautiful flowers with resinous and purple hues; it is an extremely stinky strain anyone can easily grow, including novices. Under optimal conditions, you can expect to harvest some 90 grams of dry weight from each plant. 

Bottom Line

Good seeds are everything when you need to engage in successful cannabis growing. Therefore, pay special attention to the quality of seeds you choose for your cultivation projects. Selecting the wrong seeds means preparing yourself for a poor-quality harvest and vice versa. We hope this complete coverage will help you make the right choice before buying weed seeds. Go ahead and use this information to boost your selection process.

The Best Dressed Celebs at the 2023 NAACP Awards: Zendaya in Versace and Dior Archives, Yara Shahidi in Giambattista Valli, Bresha Webb in Harbison Studio and More

The trailblazers of the moment came together last night in honor of the annual 54th NAACP Image Awards and what a celebratory night filled with elaborate and eye candy looks.


Queen Latifah who hosted the event looked flawless and stunning in a maroon Tony Ward Couture gown that was voluminous with tulle. She also rocked a classic black and white Bibhu Mohapatra gown and accessorized with black gloves and diamonds that made us want to call her “your majesty.”


In addition to Queen Latifah, actress Yara Shahidi also arrived at the NAACP awards in a similar burgundy hue. The 23-year-old star, styled by Jason Bolden served us black barbie realness in a Giambattista Valli SS17 Couture gown with nude Louboutin pumps that reminded us of why we absolutely love the Grown-ish star. With such effortless beauty, she can practically pull anything off.

Speaking of beauty, the glamourous Zendaya evoked nostalgia with her SS02 Atelier Versace and SS93 Dior archive looks that rang true to the notion that it’s all about archival fashion right now. So many celebs are showcasing garments from designers past body of work, which feel quintessentially appropriate considering that the 90’s are back.

Along with Zendaya to turn heads, “Run the World,” star Bresha Webb shut it down and was one of the best dressed celebs of the evening. Styled by Reginald Reisman in a fierce fuchsia and black Harbison Studio gown, Bresha looked incredible and sensational as she stuck a pose. Her high-low dress had an elongated dramatic train and delivered that much more WOW-factor.

The cast of Abbott Elementary also was extremely impressive with their formal wear and all took different approaches. With such a successful award-winning year for the ‘Entertainer of the Year’ winner Quinta Brunson, it only felt right that she shined and dazzled in strapless silver and gold ombre embellished gown by Dundas that had a high slit and perfectly showed off her me silver metallic open toe heels.

Stylist Bryon Javar has literally made the 4ft 11in star look like a supermodel on the carpet with his choice of perfectly proportion and tailored ensembles. While winning an award, Brunson stated, “we are so grateful and blessed to have a wonderful award season but there is nothing like winning an NAACP award,” said Brunson.

In addition to Quinta Brunson, stars Sheryl Lee Ralph and Janelle James also represented for Abbott Elementary at the NAACP awards. Ralph was intentional about her gown, choosing the wear a Ghanaian designer which felt appropriate. She slayed in a yellow multicolor Kente Pistis Ghana dress that felt reminiscent of the mother land, Africa. While comedian Janelle James chose to wear a black velvet Christian Siriano PF23 dress that very rich in texture and had silver sparkles and flowers embroidered throughout her gown

Other celebs like singer Janelle Monae and actress Tracee Ellis Ross wore maxi cutout gowns that delivered minimal yet modern elegance. Janelle looked so strikingly beautiful in a fiery red silk Cong Tri gown that looked exquisite and timeless on the Atlantic Records star. While, Tracee opted for simplicity with a Black Brandon Maxwell dress that had a diamond shape cutout at the bust and was styled with statement bangles.


As you can see, last night’s NAACP awards was a victorious night fill with change-makers in the room and the trendsetters on the carpet . With award ceremonies in full swing, celebs are reminding us that some styles are simply legendary.

Currently Trending: Mschf Red “Cartoon” Boots as Worn by Lil Wayne, Emily B, Coi Leray & More!

Everywhere we look- we can’t help but see the “Mschf” Red Cartoonish boots and the latest celebs to join the “Astro Boy” boot bandwagon includes Lil Wayne, Emily B, Diplo and Coi Leray to name a few.

You know what they say when anything goes viral… “the price just up,” and that’s exactly what has happened with these big red boots that look like they came straight out of a Mario & Sonic video game. The original $350 price tag has quickly superseded to over $1,200 on reseller sites like StockX because they’ve become so high in demand after seeing them grace the feet of our favorite celebs on social media.


Lil Wayne aka Lil Tunechi is one of the latest rappers to wear the viral red boots on a video set with NLE Choppa. He paired them with a yellow and black striped Comme des Garcon shorts and a white Balenciaga button up shirt. He tied his look together with YSL sunglasses and his look reminded us of why he’s still a trendsetter in the hip-hop industry.


Some celebrities dressed the cartoonish boot down, like Fivio Foreign, who opted out for a black leather on leather outfit, or Stylist Emily B also paired her big cartoonish boots with red coated leggings and a graphic Whitney Houston T-shirt to bring in her Birthday. Emily’s Louis Vuitton clutch was the icing on the cake.


Especially courtside at basketball games where fashion looks are constantly being served.
When the oversize red boots first came out, we initially reported on Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as being one of the first to adopt the trend. However, more recently we’ve also spotted music producer Diplo and NFL star Xavier McKinney at a Brooklyn Nets vs. New York Knick basketball game in the viral Mschf boots.

Diplo paired his red boots with a NY Knicks bomber jacket layered over a DMX graphic tee and accessorized with a Cocoatemyshoes necklace. While Xavier McKinney tapped into his Aztec era, with an Aztec cargo jacket and blue printed jeans. He added his twist to the trend by accessorizing with gold alien-like futuristic shades and diamond encrusted gold chains. Not to mention, artist Coi Leray who performed during a Brooklyn Nets halftime show wearing the bright Astro Boy boots. Coi kept it alluring with a black bodysuit layered over black leggings.


It’s clear to see that the big red cartoonish boot trend is not going anywhere, anytime soon.The Mschf brand is becoming highly sought after since their latest revolutionized design and it’s only a matter of time before other brands try to replicate these red cartoonish boots. We can’t wait to see more celebs styling ‘n’ profilin with these infamous Mschf boots.

Fashion Bombshell of the Day: Rue from Florida

Her style is vibrant, trendy and girly with a sporty edge, and she is not one to shy away from bright colors.

What do you think of this Bombshell’s style?

Metallics Reign Supreme at the 2023 BAFTAS: Cynthia Erivo in Gold Louis Vuitton Gown, Jodie Turner Smith in a Purple Gucci Dress, Naomi Ackie in Loewe, and More!

Marvelous and glorious, with awe-inspiring and celebratory looks on the red carpet, the 76th British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA’s) held Sunday at the Royal Festival Hall in London, was nothing shy of the brightest and most fashionable celebs that cinema has to offer.


Of course, the biggest night for British Cinema didn’t come without Britain’s most heavy hitters. British actress and song singer Cynthia Erivo look phenomenal in a metallic copper Louis Vuitton dress with Tiffany & Co jewelry. It was impossible for Erivo to not turn heads in this edgy forward look with fringe details from the waist down. Erivo’s gown was outstanding, and she rocked it with confidence like British rising star, Naomi Ackie.


Ackie, most notable for her exceptional performance as Whitney Houston in “I Want to Dance with Somebody’ had every right to show-stop the red carpet in a white strapless gown styled with a metallic silver hardware peplum belt. She looked incredibly modern, and her futuristic belt took her look up a notch.


What would the BAFTA’s be if Hollywood royalty didn’t make a debut in the United Kingdom? Perhaps a missing puzzle piece. We saw leading ladies like Angela Bassett and Viola Davis stunned in lilac and amethyst hues, while promising stars like ‘Insecure,’ Yvonne Orji and West Side Story, Ariana Debose served us old Hollywood glamour.


It was evident to see all shades of purple fully realized on the red carpet. Nominated for Best Supporting actress for her role in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Angela Bassett looked tried and true in her lavender custom high slit Pamella Roland gown with shoulder cutouts and voluminous bell sleeves. Her mauve metallic Le Silla platforms and Judith Leiber clutch were the perfect luminous accents.


‘The Woman King’ cast also represented at the BAFTAs in a delightful and contrasting way. Queen Viola Davis displayed regality in a royal-colored shimmery Stella McCartney gown while British actress, Lashana Lynch who played “Izogie” in the epic film, opted for a sky blue Fendi Haute Couture gown with ultra-long chiffon sleeves. She was gone with the wind fabulous and Lynch, who won the BAFTAs ‘Rising Star Award’ last year is undoubtedly making a household name for herself.


In addition to Davis and Lynch, British co-star Sheila Atim, served us high fashion in her metallic tin foil Prada dress with matching gloves. Her diamond statement necklace was all the merrier and if you haven’t noticed yet, It’s all about the gloves these days.


Taking a different direction, yet following this year’s favorable color code, Queen & Slim star, Jodie Turner-Smith arrived at the BAFTAs in a lavender and violet ombre feather and sequin dress by Gucci. She accessorized with a diamond azure floral choker necklace and got creative with her makeup. She had rhinestones meticulously place below her cat-eyes and her ensemble, feeling both luxurious and eccentric, could be captioned, “made you look.”


With Spring exactly a month away, Actress Danielle Deadwyler made quite the entrance in a indigo blue satin Armani Privé Spring ’23 dress that had a green striped sequence bodice and looked so rich against her skin tone. Not to mention her Bulgari Jewels that always look so perfect on her. Like Deadwyer, British TV and Radio presenter Vick Hopes also turned heads in a cobalt blue Kyha Studios sparkly gown with Bulgari Jewelry.


It was refreshing to see some of our most favorite actresses to grace our screens slaying in all their glory at the BAFTAs in London. This award ceremony could potentially be a prelude of what we can expect to see next month at the 95th Academy awards.

Ciara Makes the Viral Big Red ‘MSCHF’ Boots Look Effortlessly Chic

Supernormal and out of this world, the MSCHF “Astro Boy’ boots have broken the internet and the latest celeb to take part in this viral sensation is no other than Ciara, who looked effortlessly chic while promoting her new song, “For Da Girls.”

Created by Brooklyn art collective “MSCHF” (pronounced mischief), the cartoonish red boots ––that were released this month–– have made a major impact, selling out within minutes of the drop.


According to the product description, “cartoonishness is an abstraction that frees us from the constraints of reality. If you kick someone in these boots, they go boing.”

We’ve seen these futuristic boots on celebs like Janelle Monae, Iggy Azalea, and Rich the Kid . Not to mention, influencers at New York Fashion Week who stole the show, and WWE star Seth Rollins who was seen stomping out his competition in the Big Red Boots.

However, unlike some celebrities who rocked the boot and looked like they were trying too hard to follow the latest trend, Grammy Award winning artist Ciara looked so fierce and bomb without looking overdone. CiCi was giving her personal style in a Black Michael Jackson thriller shirt with layered diamond neck candy and black shades.

She was giving what it was supposed to give as she affirmed herself through her new self love track about women’s Independence and empowerment. We could all benefit from taking notes on CiCi. She knows a thing or two about being independent and, in the voice of Lil Richard, she puts it on!

When these cartoonish boots initially came out, people had a lot to say, and made jokes about the boots because they didn’t know how to pull them off. However, Ciara showed us how to serve an effortless look without taking attention away from the boots (as if that’s even possible).

It’s been interesting to see the evolution of these cartoonish boots in such a short time and everyone has put their own twist on them. We can’t wait to see more celebs adopt the trendy boot into their wardrobe while living their best life, supersized.

Thom Browne Returns to NYFW with Futuristic and Innovative Silhouettes

Theatrical, inventive, and oozing modern sophistication and uniformity, Thom Browne reminded us why there’s no other designer like him at his latest NYFW Fall ‘23 show revealed inside a theater at Hudson Yards.

Browne, who also serves as the Chairman of the Council of Fashion Designers of America, hasn’t presented during New York Fashion week since 2021. So, you can only imagine the anticipation leading up to his show. Star-studded celebs in attendance, included Erykah Badu, Lil X Nas, and Teyana Taylor.

Despite Browne’s absence from the runway, his latest collection, inspired by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s The Little Prince, certainly made up for it. Browne took attendees on an unexpected yet worthwhile journey from the part of the book where a plane crashes into a Sahara desert.

The circular runway, painted like a traditional clock and surrounded by a crashed plane, was thought-provoking and impressive. The concept of futurism transcended on the runway through avant-garde designs.

Photo: Daniel Oberrauch

The first model to strut the catwalk, resembled a pioneering pilot who served us an innovative white off the shoulder jumpsuit look that had strikingly disk-shaped silhouettes and was layered over a blue and green fuzzy turtleneck. Contrary, was the prince in the book, who was a model that had wild golden locks and wore an oversized tweed grey blazer paired with a metallic turtleneck and an abstract midi skirt.

Photo: Daniel Oberrauch

The restoration of ‘The Little Prince’ characters came to life on the runway as we saw a variety of models dressed as the special components of what makes a galaxy- the planets and stars. We saw several models in off-white long sleeve dresses that were painted with the attributes of the solar system in a variety of colors.

Various models sported Saturn shape up ‘dos to complement the aesthetic of the show. Manicures of long stiletto and spiral fingernails and toenails also spoke to the galactic theme.

In addition to the dynamic planetary garments, we also saw Browne’s signature use of plaid. From plaid-on-plaid suiting to oversize plaid and tweed coats with shoulder pads, we saw what makes Thom Brown a maximalist of our time in the most endearing way. Multiple layers of black, gray, and red multicolored plaid blazers came in various variations, paired over white oxford shirts and ties. Browne completed looks with plaid trousers, pleated skirts, and Bermuda shorts.

This season, his signature grouping of novelty handbags includes leather clocks and the iconic dog-shaped ‘Hector tote’ with gold hardware. His pointy platforms with metallic heels were the showstoppers of the moment and looked like they were especially made for Lady Gaga herself. Not to mention the crystal mesh face coverings that we’re precocious in every sense.

It’s evident that Thom Browne is an inspirational leader in the fashion industry who knows how to execute a meticulous vision with a selected technique.
