what strain should i grow next?

I am just finishing up with my first indoor grow. I grew white widow and rhino from greenhouse seeds, big bud from homegrown fantaseeds, and jock horror from nirvana. Some of the widow and rhinos were totally loaded with trichomes, but some weren't. These strains didn't seem very stabilized. The highest yeilders had the lowest trich production and the lower yeilders had the most trichomes. The big bud I won't mess with again because the buds aren't nearly as good as the white strains, but the yeild isn't much better. The jock horror is really nice looking, but a little taller than i would like. I dont know how the jock will smoke cause i havent chopped one yet.

Anyway, now I am trying to decide what strains to work with next. I want plants that will stay somewhat short, have really good trichome production, and produce at least an ounce per plant with six or eight plants under a 400 watt hps after 4 weeks of veg. I want dense, pretty buds with a decent taste and not too much leaf. Also, dealing with the smell was a big problem with my first grow (I rent the lower half of a duplex) so less odor is better but not manditory. I am leaning toward blueberry or a some white strain I haven't grown yet. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

thanx happyface. i probably should have added that i want feminized seeds. i guess youre just really smart and figured it out.

violater kush feminised. just ordered white rhino from gh, 5 pack fem, did you find any keepers amongst your rhinos. i was hoping they would remain uniform, how big a variation where the rhinos???? major plus rep if you can give me an honest opinion on these babys. any tips???

there seemed to be two different phenos of the rhino. both had broad, indica looking leaves and looked about the same in veg, but flowered differently. one gave me a really good yeild with colas about the same size as the big bud that i was growing with it. but the high yeilding pheno didn't have anywhere near the resin production as the low yeilding plants. those ones were really really sticky. These might not be distinct phenos and there also could be more phenos. I only grew out a five pack of fems so i dont really know. They all matured at different rates. The last one to finish flowering is at about eleven weeks on 12/12 and i'll probably still give it a few days. All of the rhino got a little bit nute burned and the temps were also pretty high at the end of flowering, but the plants still turned out ok. I'm sure they would have turned out better if I was a more experienced grower though. To tell you the truth, i couldn't really tell the difference between the widow and rhino. The widow seemed to have two phenos (plus a third, leafier one) that were a lot like the two rhino phenos. There was one rhino in particular that I really wish I had cloned. It was the heaviest of the three really resinous plants and gave me the nicest looking buds of them all. I wish I could be more helpful. If you have any more questions feel free to ask.

Crimea Blue, it's DJ Short BlueberryxUkraine Hash plant, I hav'nt seen anyone else growing it so I had to give it a shot myself Barneys Farm Crimea Blue Cannabis Seeds Marijuana Seeds

That's a really nice looking plant in the pic. Do you have to drop the temp to get the purple and blue hues or does it do it on it's own?

I wish I knew the answer to that, DJ Shorts' Blueberry is legendary(so I hear), I like just started growing her out and I'm trying hydro for the first time-so I'm guaranteed nada subscribe to my journal if you'd like to see

thanks croatalus, major rep, im doing my first grow soon, just making sure my grow conditions are optimal and waiting on a few bits and bobs before i get started. will be using 400hps like yourself with 4 white rhinos femm. heard great things about the rhino for scrogging, might be a pain if they are not very uniform but there are ways around it. what was your germination rate like buddy??. have you any pics of your setup?? + rep

its was a toss up for me between white rhino femm gh, nycd femm soma, violater kush femm and the cheese ( decided to leave the cheese untill i either get the uk clone or untill somone nails it in seed form ).

the violater kush looks like a good one for once i nail these rhino bitches.

have a look at Cannabis Seeds - Pick 'n' Mix Cannabis Seeds u can buy singles from here.

I Think you should go for Crimea Blue And maybe do a growjournal ?

My germ rate was 100% with the rhino with the paper towel/ziplock method, but only 3 of 5 for the greenhouse widow. I can't get any decent pix of my setup on the computer, but it's pretty basic. I started with a 400 watt hps in a 1x4 closet, but that got small quick. I ended up with two 400 watt lights in a 5x5 closet (and a couple 42 watt cfl's) with mylar covering all surfaces. 8 plants were under each light with the cfl's giving additional light to the taller plants that were furthest from the hps's. A 20" box fan inside the closet blowing air out and a 12 inch desk fan outside the closet blowing air in. This setup worked fine until the weather got hot, since then i've had problems even after I put a small air conditioner in the room outside the closet. On really hot nights (the lights in the flowering room are only on at night) I can only run one light at a time. I grew in 3 gallon grow bags using a soiless mix made mostly of coco fiber (roots organics) and fed with sensi grow, sensi bloom, big bud, and carboload. Other than the heat and lack of odor control, this system worked fine for me. I'm gonna grow my next crop in the spare bedroom though cause growing more than a few plants in a small closet like that is really a pain in the ass if you water manually.

Oh, by the way. Even though the white rhino wasn't uniform as far as flowering, all the plants were nearly the exact same height (probably about 3 1/2 feet). Also, a lot of my plants wanted to bend over at the stalk because of the weight of the top cola, but the only one to actually snap was one of the rhinos when I was moving it so be careful of that. Having to cut down my best producer early because of my own carelessness was kinda shitty.

Wow. I didn't know you could buy single seeds. That's great. Have you ever ordered from this seedbank though? I really like the idea of ordering single seeds, but I'm kinda nervous about ordering from a bank I've never heard of.

oh, damn. nevermind. i can't do the singles thing. they don't ship to the US. I would have ordered a couple strains too.

thanks crotalus, i think i made a good choice for a first grow, also growing in coco, have bought the hesi coco range + boosters. my area is 2.8 ft x 2.8 ft x 6 ft.
im hoping to veg the 4 rhinos for 5 weeks or untill screen is 70 percent full.

sorry to keep banging the questions into you, but your first grow nearly replicates what i intend to do, which is a good thing, what was the stretch like on your babys once flowering was induced??? you've been most helpfull my man!

I'd really like to do a grow journal, but I don't have a digital camera and my cell phone takes horrible pics. The Crimea Blue is definately a possibility though.

any ideas on your next grow, i will definately be doing nycd by soma after i get a few grows with the rhino under my belt. soma seeds are rediculously expensive but the genetics look flawless, have yet to read a bad grow report on nycd.

Don't worry about the questions. It's nice to be able to answer instead of ask for a change. I didn't do the scrog so I can't tell you how yours will do under the screen. I can tell you that mine shot up like crazy though. I put them on 12/12 after about four weeks of veg. I was gonna wait longer but they already had preflowers and I couldn't resist. They were probably around 14 or 16 inches tall when I changed the light cycle. Within like the first three weeks they had all shot up past three feet.
I just measured the last rhino that hasn't been chopped. It's 42 inches tall, and that is about the same height the rest were. All of the widow and rhino were about that height. I would have guessed that they would double in height during flowering but they tripled.

that is some major stretch, i think you could have just saved me from a catastrophe, what was you phing your water to, i will be going with 5.8, what was yours ?????
