What defines an easy to grow plant? High tolerance to fluxuating environmental changes? Also what makes indica's easier to grow then sativas - is it just the shorter flower time which leaves less time to screw up? Just asking cause I've grown nothing but sativas that take 13+ weeks to flower and they seemed pretty easy just really need patience.

They really don’t rank strains by beginner, intermediate, expert and super star of super star growers.

What you need to do is decide what you want, what sort of a high or a stone or a combination of both and then buy something like that.

If you were going out to eat with friends and they had already eaten at the place you are going to but you haven’t would you ask them, gee, I’ve never eaten there before ….. what do they have on the menu that is easy to eat?

Or would you ask them what they have there that is along your taste lines and sounds damn good to you?

What up...

Currently I'm vegging some Bubba Kush and Hindu OG. 2 more weeks till flower.

This afternoon I'll be picking up 3x Maui Wowie and 3x Skunk#1 clones from a dispensary out here :mrgreen:

Any more information on all the above strands mentioned would be appreciated...

:peace: GvzE

Newyorker if we take what Bricktop said to heart, because he's correct, perhaps you should be aware of the types of strains to avoid. Think of the type of high/stone you want then pick from all the strains available except:

1. Long flowering strains. Not hard but if you're just starting out 14 weeks is a long time to wait for the strain.
2. Very tall strains. I've always found shorter strains easier to do, you don't want something 8'.
3. Blueberry. Easy to grow, hard to grow well.


Anyone think of any other types of strains to avoid? I was going to say strains that hermie more frequently but Blueberry is the only one I can think of.

Nirvana's Bubblicious has been good to me, The garden has had some issues with heat/PH/nutes/light, you name it, and all the other strains show it.
Bubblicious shows no sign of damage at all which, compared to other strains, amazes me.

I found the strain called whiteberry is amazing. I had some very hot days in my grow room and it seemed to handle it well, unlike the 3 other strains I had going. It is not a huge yielder but it is very frosty and has a great taste and smell. It is very forgiving of PH, watering and even some lighting issues that happened. Never a hermi, never an issue.

Newyorker - Let me help you refrase yor question:

Looking for a strain that is bug resistant, can handle stress, over/under watering and nute burn.


Those are some common things that beginners usually do until they know what they are doing and know the plant. There are dozens of factors that can effect the grow though. I had a pure gold freebie that took nutes and stress very good, for it being a freebie it ended up better than the other plants I grew from seed



I don't have any suggestions because I have not ordered enough seeds from breeders to answer your question. You should read around the strain reviews, seedbank reviews, this forum and the other forums. Dont be afraid to go 10-15 pages in because there is ALOT of information. I see a lot of questions asked every single damn day so that is maybe why you are not getting the response because most knowledagble members have answer the same questions dozen of times. I spend hours a day reading different forums here. More you can get here than from any book at the store, just gotta search.
