Hey everyone. I would like a strain that is easy to grow since it is my first time. I would rather have a short bushy plant due to space restrictions. Also they need to be able to grow under CFL's. I was thinking either BC ICE, KUSH, or maybe even Super Silver Haze (SSH). How hard would it be to grow TrainWreck? Out of those 4 which would be the easiest to grow and maintain, has the Least amount of smell, and would fit the description above?

Oh and i would be happy with a quarter o per plant so as long as it yields that thats good. BeCause I don't smoke much anyways. Thanks. Oh and if you have any other recommendations feel free to post them.

When growing under CFL you will need(if you like a good yield) to create a SCROG setup. Scrog and flowering under CFL will take a lot of extra time in vegetative stage, so in my opnion Super Silver Haze is not a good option because it takes a lot of time to flower as well. If it is your first time it would be a good idea to choose lowrider #1 because they do not grow tall so there is no need to scrogg, making your first time easyer and finish fast. It will give you a better insight in growing a plant because of not scrogging(wich wil need some experiance too) An autoflowering strain like lowrider #1 will finish in about 9 weeks from seedling. When choosing an other autoflowering strain pay special attention to how tall it gets, because the light of CFL does not penetrate deep(this is why people scrog) CFL is effective for about 20cm from the bulb, so a plant like lowrider1 which grow about as tall as 20cm is ideal. If you decide you are going to scrog, choose small bushy shortly internoded plants(e.g. Afhani, Herijuana, K2, some kush variety, etc) these are great plants for scrog. Or lets say choose an indica (they finish faster, compensating a longer vegetative stage and because of growing each branch horizontaly you have a bud growing each CM or 2 and not each 6+ cm when chooing a sativa giving a better yield.)
