I am fairly inexperienced and am looking for a couple strains that are easy to grow, as I would likely not know how to handle many problems should they arise. I would be working indoors with fluorescent lighting. Anyway, the two things that I would be looking for are as follows:

1. I have friends that enjoy indicas (although I much prefer sativas), and so I would like to be able to spread as much around as possible. To this end, I would be looking for a high yielding indica with a short flowering time.

2. I like sative dominants, and am willing to wait the extra week, month, etc. for that something special. I've heard that sativas can cause you more problems, so I am wary of going down this path unless I have some assurance that I'm not setting myself up for failure. However, I am certainly willing to take some risk.

So, what you say?

could always go with a Skunk#1 for shareing its easy and it yields well nice buds to or Kush x Skunk (pot of golld) again yields great sticky buds.
For head stash try these fast sativa doms. C99 anybreeder that as it (female seeds and Mosca), TGA Chernobyl get a pack and search you will prob find a gem, Both of these are fast flowering under 9 weeks C99 is done in 46-50days.

My Mrs is a fan of Barnies Blue cheese but thats more of a midway 50/50 hybrid, keep both happy lol and thiers a new company selling Blue cheese cheap £17.50 a 5 fem pack (OOseeds) and anasthesia from sannie crew


Ive got pics of all them listed on my profile.


Its hard to just pick 2 but I would say Blue cheese and C99 then Chernobyl

O yer Rockerij Lemon skunk got me hammered but face mushy stoned hammered lol was nice stuff

I know you said 'any breeder' for the c99, but is there a preferred one that you would recommend? That strain looks interesting enough to give it a go

Yer if you can get them in stock get the Female seeds one.It was first one i tried to Less pheno hunting. But seriosely doesnt matter its just one is fem one is reg and more inbred

OK scrap female seeds as they say they hit it with auto, so you might wanna confirm that with female seeds as it never used to be an auto so......... Mosca only as regulars

For bluecheese I'd go with big buddha, less hermie reports in general and they grow well, I grew them on my first grow and didn't know what I was doing when I started and they did well on just piss and miracle grow in veg and then swapped over to biobizz for flower got nearly 15oz under a 600w hps on my first ever go with this strain not mention it stunk to high heaven and was a tastey smoke.
For the second strain like canna says above Id look around for a hybrid that sounds good to you, there is thousands of them out there and something for all occasions just pick what suites you aslong as it has good reports you should be fine, I personally would go with something like AK47 from serious seeds, they have been around for years have great reviews and you don't hear about hermies and shitty genetics from them.
starting out I'd be looking for proven hardy strains mate this will make the grow easier just by itself, even with great genetics if things don't go 100% with a bit of luck you will still end up with some quality smoke.
I believe genetics to be half the battle start strong and life will be easier all round!

as to indicas, i don't like them either, but sour cream has a mid to stony euphoric buzz not unlike skunk #1 & blueberry that's better than straight up indicas and at least functional if not motivational, but it's flavor totally kick's overrated blueberry's as far i'm concerned. it's the only indica i've tried i have any real respect for. it tastes & smells sexy and there are far worse buzzes out there. if you want to impress your friends with quality, you should try a fem of that. it was one of the best freebies i've gotten. their lightly motivational lemon skunk is even better if not as boner inducing delicious

you can get quite nice buzzes out of strains that are doable indoors. C99 is at the other end of the spectrum with it's motivational clear headed euphoric buzz similar to 17 week kali mist in a 55 days or less package. it's not a favorite though as it's more about activities than the trippy heightened senses effect you get out of "better" sativa doms. it's great for working on though as you get a clear headed happy energy boost

the three strains i've tried that kick the most ass are:
jack's cleaner 2 by TGA. it has a stony edge, but it's the trippiest bud i've grown or even smoked short of the columbian gold i started on on and was spoiled by in the 80s and something i bet was a gold hybrid i begged and pleaded to buy a few years ago that was un-named. it had a really cool touchy feely effect that makes you want to play footsie with yourself or massage your body. i bet it's crazy fun to get laid on!!! the only other strain i've smoked that has that particular kind of warm body euphoria was yucky tasting diesel based onyx. it made me bust out laughing when i realized just how trippy it was when i noticed i was imagining invisible waves of rainbow colored tie dye rippling out of wherever i massaged myself. OK, if gold has it's "light & floaty" effect that makes it unique, then touchy feely is just as much fun. TGA's jack the ripper is supposed to be trippier and is probably more energetic. people rave about it. JC2 is 50% JtR and even columbian doesn't embarrass it oh yeah... BOTH jacks are just 9 week strains!

i don't have personal experience with sannies, but HIS $50 jack f7 is considered world class with maybe only sensi seeds' $225 herer in competition. it's at the top of my shopping list. it's a 9-10 week strain too. the jackhammer cross that's 50% amnesia haze might be even better and is supposed to be trippy. it's closer to a 12 week strain and "good things come to those who wait" as you know. another strain that sounds awesome whose name totally annoys me is his killing fields. it's supposed to be one of the trippiest indoor hazes. the people that grow it rave about it. you should DEFINITELY consider that, or pretty much ANY sannies strain as he makes quality a top priority in everything. back to indicas, his chocolate rain has a lot of fans. i'd lean more towards DNA's less stony sounding chocolope myself as they're my favorite breeder as all three strains i've tried have been clearly above average in every way

that beings me to sweet haze. MOST of the hazes i've tried have been nice enough, but not very trippy at all and closer to C99 with clear headed euphoria, but DNA's version is the trippiest haze i've tried so far with a super delicious fruity flavor that tops the generics too. that it's a 9 week strain, even if it likes to stretch it's legs is awesomeness in the extreme too. it embarrassed a thai skunk i had high hopes for in flavor, resin production and trippiness along with other contenders. you can get even TRIPPIER i'm sure if you find the right breeder and go for 12 week+ strains. i really want to try dinafems "ultimate haze" or something to that effect as it was based on a superior haze and dinafem's rep is solid, but i can't complain about sweet haze at all. it's delicious, motivational, trippy and euphoric... it's all good. if you have mold issues, it might not be the best strain though as it has dense buds that are the wettest i've ever seen. the resin is sticky like glue too. if you want a lot of it, SCROGging it is a good idea, which is a good idea in general if you're growing multiple strains too besides it's "every bud is a top cola" perk.

if you want a high that's REALLY potent and motivational with some trippiness too, high quality seeds' haze x skunk is no freakin' joke! it's more potent than outdoor grown columbian gold and has more resin like most modern strains. it takes 12 weeks, is stretchy and has an annoying, but mild cheesy cigar wrapper from it's skunk father that would especially appeal to blunt lovers, but it was at least bearable for this tobacco hater. the buzz is seriously long lasting. you can still feel it in the morning and after a month, you develop a mild permabuzz, but even then, it doesn't turn stony like gold would or skunk #1 does after just a couple weeks. awesome tolerance! the buzz is motivational, creative and euphoric with just a little lead eye that never gets worse than that. i lost 10 pounds on it in just a month by ignoring hunger pangs and keeping occupied with whatever as well as quitting my 6 pack of red dog a night addiction cold turkey. it literally saved my life as every morning, i'd wonder if i made the burp i'd choke to death on. it isn't as refined as sweet haze or JC2 maybe, but it has potency up the wazoo to compensate. it's like an AK-47 for getting high. SCROGging it is a really good idea as it likes to spit a single bud out every couple inches as it stretches. as potent as it is, it doesn't expand with sane hits, but the first time i blazed it without knowing it's potency, it almost bit me with just 4 hits when i started getting the room spinning dizzies. it's NOT a strain for lightweight noobs or especially twitchy people. it can induce paranoia too.

it won't be back for a while, but i really liked mandala's 8 miles high too. it's a nice mellow high that just does everything right. it's similar to a generic haze with a fairly clear headed motivational euphoric high, but it's trippier than many and even has a really cool precise body control effect along the lines of gold's light floaty feeling. it REALLY loves music and dancing. i did the robot on it feeling like one with precise gears. basically, it's just a strain that wants to have fun without raciness or paranoia and not a hint of couchlock either. the thing that impressed me was just how clean the buzz is in that regard. it felt like there was a hole in the buzz in a good way. it's like an elegant lady that knows how to please you. very noob friendly as far as sativas go. it's only my 4th fave maybe, but is so 24/7 friendly that i'd be happy with it as a desert island strain. you can chill out on it if you want or you can get busy on it. just don't sit around and mope on it... it whispers to you "come one, let's have some fun. you know you want to" and before you know it, you're dancing in your kitchen. his satori is supposed to be even better and is in one RIU's top 2 list.

oh yeah... back to stony indicas... if i had to grow one for it's buzz, i'd pick TGA's jillybean as everyone raves about it's euphoria level. i don't know if i could wrap my head around baby poo phenos maybe, but laugh your ass off euphoria is better than a generic stoopid coma buzz any day.

I love dinafem power kush. it branches like no other with short internodes, yet easy to trim. can grow an inch a day under my cfl. makes a nice bush if you want. nice green leaves. flowers VERY FAST under the slightest change of light. i really think this is a great strain for cfl.

Ditto on Dinafem, they have lots of nice strains

Id surely pick a fem strain, like Power Kush, an other like Original Amnesia would make a nice Indica/Sativa selection.

northern lights... low odor indica that's productive and easy to grow... it's in tons of crosses
AK-47... the one hit wonder

two classic strains. AK-47 gets really funky though

thick stems too, will not need support.
don't forget stressing your plant stems on a regular basis with gentle twisting and/or vigorous shaking of your plants to create damage the that the wind normally creates so when the plant repairs it, you not only have stronger support, especially with strains that like to tip over, but better nutrient flow in the larger stems. i like to start smacking my plants around as soon as they sprout. you might not want to do that if you're SCROGging though as you want flexibility there

  • Bigtacofarmer you're right!! :)) crazy how do u know theese things about NL and ak47? have you red that here and there? couse i've red about ak47 one hit wonder,i've smoked it..it is not, one hit wonder doesn't exist i think...a BHO dab is one hit wonder to me..or almost,i've difficult to get really high theese days..one gram of bubblehash eaten is one hit wonder in my experience! :)

it is not, one hit wonder doesn't exist
oh yeah, 1 hit wonders most definitely DO exist! one time i scored an indica bud that literally knocked my ass out in something like 15 minutes off just two hits. that's 1 hit too many for whatever that was. i don't know if it was AK47 or what the eff it was, but it was useless in large doses, well even small doses unless you have fun paying for sleeping pills.

nope, i've never sampled AK-47, but it did get it's 1 hit wonder name for a reason, namely potency. instead of arguing with me about it, take it up with those that coined the term why don't ya?

1 hit wonders can be in the eye of the beholder too. the first time i blazed 8 miles high, all it took was two light hits and i was too happy to take a third. part of that could have been i was only able to get high a few times in 25+ years, but still say the buzz was engaging enough in it's own right that just a little bit was enough to make smoking more for a more potent buzz unnecessary.

shit, one time one hit of freakin' mexican brick was too much for a gal i used to get busy with! as pissweak as that was, it gave her a case of the dizzies after taking one big hit! some people just have lower tolerances too. i know two other gals that quit smoking after claiming they "got dosed" blazing at concerts where i still say they both just smoked real weed for the first time in their lives and weren't ready for a real trippy high, or that room spinning dizzy effect that's too much even for seasoned smokers.

AK-47 is renowned for it's potency. i didn't make that up, so don't try and blame me for it's rep

Well, when 99% of your smoking is leaves, of course the rare times you actually smoke a real bud it only takes 1 hit for you.
