I am in the process of growing a heavy indica and it's pure eye lid droop/couch lock. I'm looking for more of a daytime/fun/party high in my next grow.

I'm thinking I need the following in my next strain. Please suggest.

Upbeat /creative/talkative high
Can finish several plants in a 3'x2'x5' tent
LOW odor / or smell of something other than weed
Ships seeds to USA

Could be an auto, reg or feminized seeds.

Please post the strain you suggest and a company that you would suggest I order.

Thanks!

Dutch passion Durban poison fem/reg is a pure sativa that finishes quite fast and the high is like a shot of expresso, clean clear and very upbeat, not good for people with anxiety as it really gets the blood flowing. Awsome for physical labor or intense activities, keeps the energy up and their is zero lag or fatigue from the comedown. The smell is not intense and crazy stinky it is more mild,but very nice and refined, so u should not have to worry about it stinkin up tne place.

Ace seeds has a couple that are supposed to be very nice (but at least 3 more weeks of flowering), Malawi, golden tiger, panama but this is my first year growing them so can't give any feedback yet. The ace forums are very active so if inteterested it's a good place to go look.

Check out some of Beanhoarders c99 and Sweet tooth crosses. A hybrid will be better for your smaller space. Durban grows big and fast, would require massive training.

Also you don't need a pure sativa just to offset the heavy indica, lots of hybrids have a balanced high that won't be couch glue.
 
Or try some CBD heavy stuff like cannatonic which should fit and isn't very aromatic (only downside to the st and c99 both smell so good)

Check out Prayer Tower or Buddha's Hand from Bodhi Seeds. Both are mothered by a strain called Lemon Thai and it was one of my absolute favorites for wake and baking or smoking throughout the day.

Thanks, I don't need big in a 3' tent.

CBD heavy stuff is not going to be uplifting at all.

Edit: well maybe if your natural state is uplifted, because any CBD strain I have smoke is no high weed, as I believe is it designed to be. Kills the pain without the high. That for me, does not work. The heavier the high the better the pain killer IMHO.

Let's keep it uplifting. I don't drink alcohol or take Valium if avoidable for the same reason. Being down is no fun. :(

I have a 95% Afghan Indica if I have any pain or need helping to sleep. I want something different.

Dutch passions Durban poison does not grow huge fast, it's average to JUST above average veg growth, the smaller the width of the pot will keep it short no problem, also it finishes late September, early October if ur feeling frisky

Let me post a pic of my setup / tent. I have room for 8 x 1 gallon tree pots in my tent. I have to do major defoliation to keep the bud sites uncovered.

They only take up 12" of depth and are part of my top feed watering system. The photo may be misleading.

I'm not trying to grow for the neighbors here. This is head stash. I may run 12/12 from seed or veg for two weeks then flip.

Grown more than half of Ace seeds complete stock they offer. I grew out 5 Bangi Haze which I didn't prefer. No energetic effect in them to make me wanna get up to work out or walk. Just made my eyes stay open lol, more of a mind opening experience. Maybe I didn't get the right pheno sometimes it takes 10+ to get the right one. Dubi has said they are stabilizing a fem version of the energetic pheno which is due to be released sometime later this year.

I would recommend either Ace's Orient Express as its effects are great for chatting without paranoia and very upbeat. Much like Ace's Panama but only takes 8-10 weeks. Panama was more of a dense heavy intense powerful high with seeing beautiful colors but takes 14-16 weeks. The other I would recommend would be Ace's Congo. Its effects are a positive clean high, open minded, creative and some social effects usually takes 10 weeks. Most of their other top notch strains take 12+ weeks but are well worth it. I don't know if you knew or not but I will note there is a breeder section on the forums, here is Ace's section.

I would recommend atleast 2 weeks of veg if purchasing either of the Ace strains. The only Ace strains that need to be straight 12/12 are their pure hazes or pure thais unless you plan to scrogg over a big area(3'x3x6'). The Green Haze and Oldtimer's Hazes I grew from Ace got over 5 feet tall each and yielded 4+ oz each but took 24+ weeks to flower. Out of doing 88 plants 12/12 only 4 have yielded 1+ oz, 2 of them being the Green haze and OTH.

If you indeed do pick the Durban Poison I haven't tired it yet but do plan to as I have heard only good things about this strain. From what I hear it is a medium size plant that doesn't grow to high and only takes 8 weeks. How good of a high it is I do not know. Comparing it to Ace's Oldtimer's Haze will be a test because that is my holy grail as of now. Good luck to you man :tiphat:.

I have room for about 40" of plant. That accounts for the tree pots and the HPS.

These tree pots sit in a tub, it's a continuous feed DTW system I built that is pumped out into an external rez. These tree pots sit inside holes drilled in the tub so for all intent and purposes the tree pots sit on the floor of the tent. The tree pots are 12" deep when planted so basically my plants sit in pots 1 foot off the floor.

I run my filter and fan outside my tent so I gain that headroom. My one HPS is about 6" tall and even when I account for that depth, I still have 40" of plant I can grow.

That really should be more than enough for what I need to do. Hell, people grow in far less space than what I have.

So given the height restrictions or lack of, does anything said here change?
