Starting a first grow, need a good easy strain

any nirvana strain... i've heard good things about white rhino, supposed to be extremely potent

in terms of growing ease, i'd definately say go with some mandala seeds. very inexpensive as well

My first grow
Was some seeds from a coffee can my brother had been saving since the 60's...Or some bagseed from my sisters weed. I can't seem to remeber which... Of course my first grow was 1973.
If I may suggest however, Get a nice indica pure or indica dominant strain with fast finish times and a decent yield.. Wait until you get your patience built up before running SSh or a sativa dom like that...
Ak is a poor yielder somewhat, May i suggest something a little more "kushy". It will nug up easier for ya...
I'm curious to try grape crush by DJ short myself...
depends on your flavor preference a lot, I hear flo is very forgiving...And a nice yielder..
I hope im helping not confusing you.

L.O.L> I did WR and AK-47 side by side last summer, definetly a better choice is the white rhino....WW is another long budding sativa- much patience is needed for her...(IMHO)
The White Rhino has found a place in my garden for at least another summer.
I have a 3 foot WR in veg now, It's going outdoor sometime before summer.
The AK and about 10 others were eliminated... Too many strains to test.

Wow thanks for the info you guys, I heard this site was good but damn.

Okay, 1 last question. since its per watt in general, and not per plant as well. Would it be better to have 4 plants to grow out, or 2 that get bigger, both of which would yield about the same?

yeah i used Female Seeds Company for my first grow.
Everyone told me the same thing when i started and i'll tell you, Don't worry about your yield. No one goes into growing getting close to a gram per watt, it just doesn't happen.
I thought i knew and i ended up giving my plants a lil burn, not using enough pH up and locking out a lot of nutes.
I planted 2 Northern Lights and 2 Grapefruit. I must say, either of those would be good choices for first grows but the grapefruit can stretch a lil bit.
Northern lights weren't as forgiving as the grapefruits but for ease of growth they ranked higher.
they stay short and bushy, they pack on res 2 weeks into flower, they smell fabulous.
I haven't much experience with nirvana or any other vendor as of now. I planted a few Mandala seeds and i hear they are very forgiving/easy to grow/very potent.

much luck, keep it green!

yep, always pay cash if you can.
no paper trails is a good thing
you wanna remain under the radar
buy all your supplies at different time if you can.
if you need some things i'd go to two diff stores since there's always a Home Depot and Lowes within a couple miles of eachother. I'd get lights, timers and supplies at one, and pot/drain pans/perlite at another
