I am also new to growing, but I recommend RESERVA PRIVADA Kandy Kush! I am harvesting mine in a week and she was the sole survivor of a batch of 6 seedlings. I killed the other 5, but my Kandy survived! I also successfully grew 3 Cocolate Rains as well, but they were germed after the Kandy Kush and missed the heat mishap where I set the heater too high. Temps got to almost 100 F, only the Kandy Kush held up to that! Wish I could offer more info, but limited grow experience!
