okay so i decided to go with the skunk #1
because of its ease for newbies and its high yield and medium height...i've been looking this but can't find what force flowering means....does it mean changing the lighting cycles for which the plant can grow faster?

wow! all i have to say is that princess should become a queen and rule the world! Im actually bowing as i type!!


anyhow i would reccomend trying something like an autodwarf ak 47 feminised, i say that because well for ur size grow obviously they will not get that big, they grow out fast from seed to smoking cured bud ur looking at 11 weeks tops! If grown right ur looking at a 80 percent true female average and they dont stink when they are growing!

With ur grow room size and stealthy requirements i would stay away from any true skunk breeds until u grow a couple times! last thing u want on ur hands is an unmanagable jungle that stinks ur house up! U will have enough to worry about!

until u know exactly what to expect,( odor, size of strains, etc.),stick to something u can grow and learn from fast and easy! Besides auto ak47 grown right is better than mostly all bud u will find floating around!

If you want to try something different, grow a white auto dwarf, the shit will make u retatrted upon smoking if u grow it right , but will stink while growing

hope that helps

Force Flowering just means that you are changing the light cycle from either 24/0 or 18/6 to 12/12 lighting, you need about 12 hours of darkness to make the hormones in the plant come to peak levels to make the plant flower. An autoflowering plant or "Auto" means that the plant will flower no matter what schedule of lighting. Auto plants cannot be cloned, they can only grow from seed. Skunk #1 is still a great choice, you can grow it short if you want, just induce flowering after a short veg period.

okay so now its the lighting time...because of all the lighting that's out there i'm not so sure what to get...remember i'm growing for personal use not on a large scale basis and a newbie:bigjoint:...probably just two plants just to have a steady supply on hand...so maybe i'll decide to spend just a couple extra bucks for a nice light fixture maybe this mh for my veggie state..but would want some cheaper type of fixture to compiment it during the flowering stages(maybe warm white light fluorescent ??)....but i'll be open to hearing diff. kinds of combinations of fluoroscent and there wattages lightings that can do just as good a job for my veggie and flowering phases...just two plants thats it..it'll be good to save some money...SKUNk #1 is my game

Skunk #1, Northern Lights, White Widow, Big Bud are all easy to grow, good yielding, award winning smoke. You grow any of those and you will be happy and others will be jealous.

Instead of the MH light of 250 watts i would rather see you with High Tech Garden Supply instead. you get the best of both worlds there with MH for veg and HPS for flower.

You can get some excellent results with 400watts, nice tight thick dense nuggets of goodness. Twice the lumens for 1/2 the increase in power
