Lots of other factors I'd take into account, but I would be tempted to get 10 clones that someone has hunted through to find a decent pheno that has characteristics you/the market are after.
Seeds are often not stable, so you can end up with a few different phenos, some might be great and some might be average.
Seed : The cost is more, will be longer grow and your flower could vary from plant to plant.
Clone: The cost is less, faster turn around and plants will all produce the same flower.
It always depends on what you are trying to achieve though.

When to pot the seedlings?Hi! When is the best time to plant the jiffy pellets into pots? They sprouted yesterday, and are doing nicely in my propagator. Should I plant in pots now and keep them inside the propagator or leave them a little longer? Or just plant them up & put them inside the grow tent?Setup. Seedling
