Starting a first grow, need a good easy strain

[FDae]

and a reliable place to get it from that will ship to canada. Ive done my research and am ready to go with this soon, just want a good smoke strain thats easy to grow and is forgiving

 

[Bulldog]

Skunk and Northern Lights are both very easy.

Any/all Mandala strains. They are inexpensive and easy to grow. check out their forum.

how much space/light are you working with?

 

[Hold Your Fire]

Chronic is almost idiot proof. A bit more $ but a sure winner for a first grow.

I'm on my first grow and I gotta say that I'm impressed with the SS AK47. They are pretty much mistake proof and I'm sure the smoke will be bomb.

easy beginner strain

easy beginner strain

Serious seeds AK47 is a good choice.Very consistent phenos and very forgiving.I grew ak47 for my first indoor grow and I did everything from over water to bleaching the tops and still got 6+ oswalds of good smoke out of a C13

If it is your first grow, go with cheap genes period. Mandala or Nirvana is pretty much where it's at. You are gonna screw up, plants may die. It is a learning experience. Why learn with a $6 seed instead of a $1.50 seed? Both will give you better weed than you can buy(for the most part), and one just makes more sense for someone who is starting. As stated earlier, Nl or skunk are good places to start.

150w hps, enough space for 4

 

[FDae]

what about males? Are the seed shops reliable to produce fems? I feel like a noob

 

[PersonalSmoke]

Just grow out regular seeds, not fems. Everyone should know how to tell sex anyway, and I'm sure that you'll get atleast 4 females if you pop 8+ seeds.

 

[Guest]

FDae, most seed that you buy is standard male/female with about a fifty fifty male to female ratio. If you want to end up with four females start at least eight seeds (I would start ten to be sure). Good luck and good growing

In that case, "Durga Mata" from Paradise.
Tough, very easy, relatively bomb-proof, short, very little height variation and some top, top-drawer smoke.

Also does very well in lower light conditions, like you have.
The only reason I'm not growing it is that I grew it 4 times last year :wink:

 

[FDae]

what kind of weight would I be looking at with those seeds? Havent heard of many of them, though around here no one hears much about strains

 

[Watson853]

Use regular seeds, not fem'd...IMHO. Starting out, use Nirvana as they are less expensive, yet I've gotten some INCREDIBLE plants from Nirvana's seeds.
Bubblicious is a big fat stoney easy to grow, as well as Northern lights pure indica. Skunk is a classic too. BOG starains are easy to growww,(the ones I grew out), If you can find them. Good luck.

Providing you don't... drown them... burn them... or give them too much love... you could hope for a half a gram per watt. Once dialed in you could expect a gram a watt or so.

Seedbay and Seed Boutique both ship to Canada and are very reliable.

Best of luck with your new project... you've found a great place to learn.

Mais~

 

[FDae]

half a gram per watt PER plant right? Im hoping to get on this soon and have a place set up for them. Ill start with growing 4, assuming all 4 live, 2 are female, ill grow them until I need to put them on the other cycle and then start another 4 in the main one again. And try to get my timing right that it works out the way I hope

 

[FDae]

Another thing, sorry to double post but I would like a recommendation for a seed that fits as closely to these descriptions as possible. I looked through the ones posted and checked up on some and am interested, but if theres one that fits this description properly, well then ill go with this one

1) On a scale of 1-10 on grow difficulty, no more than a 5-6
2) Somewhat forgiving if my time scale is a little off
3) Not grow too tall
4) Decent weight
5) Quality scale 6+

:shrug: ive looked at ak47, but I dont think they are that short

 

[FDae]

oh and 6) doesnt get too bushy, height is less of an issue than width

 

[Guest]

No, it's half a gram per watt of light not per plant. Say you have a 400 watt light, a decent harvest would be 200 grams (not 200 grams per plant). My best advice about yield is to not worry about it. Get a decent strain and provide everything that the plant needs and yields will take care of itself.
