What to choose?

Hi Guys,

I am looking for your opinions on my next grow, so lets get to it.

Background:
I have done approximately 10+ grows, but been in the game for about 10 years.

Following strains I have grown (cannot remember them all): White Russian (SS), AK-47 (SS), White Widow (Sensi), Purpe Haze (Sensi), Durban Poison, Apollo 11 (Grimm), OG Cheese, Chocolope, Super Skunk, Bubblegum, Incredible Bulk, WWxBB, Chronic Haze, Money Maker, Northern Lights ... those I at least remember.

Setup
Room: 1Mx1Mx2M tent
Light: 600w HPS
Soil + Good ventilation + Possibility to set the temperature to be just right + possibility to add humidity to be optimal.

Actual message to you guys
So I have not been growing for a while but I have the know how.. I am seriously having a hard time to choose what strain(s) to go for. I was thinking about serious seeds because they have always been very stable and easy to grow.

But there is so many strains these days to choose from and so many bad seeds, even in top10 lists... Some won't even germinate..

I am looking for hybrid that can be balanced or sativa dominant and of course one of my top priorities is the yield. But I might as well look into the effects since I am going to do this so something that makes you happy / giggly and not too couchlocked (of course the trichomes have a big role in this but anyway).

My go to strains at this moment would be: White Russian (nice yielder, stable etc.. but the effect is not quite there), Kali Mist (I have never grown this), SSH from GH (heard that this is not so stable strain)... Preferably Feminized.

I am open to any suggestions... Would be awesome to hear some opinions :thank you: :tiphat:

Not sure how you feel about Dinafem but I recently ran their Critical+ 2.0 Fem. It's been one of the most stable, potent feminized strains I've run in a long time; hell of a yield too. I went about a week and a half longer than recommended and they turned a beautiful light purple color; without huge temp drops at night. Also turned a little more sativa dominant. It's a great hybrid either way. Everyone I know that's run it has absolutely loved it. IMO, you can't go wrong.

If I remember correctly, my Cheese was from Dinafem and I've ran their Bubba Kush as well and both came out ok.

I have had in mind to Run Critical genetic strains many times, so not bad idea. Have to look into that! :)

I have tried a lot of Dinafem strains, and they always impress. I especially like their Diesel and Blue Widow.

Just pick a few and grow em! You'll see what you lean towards and the rest will come with time, $$. Very subjective asking what to choose...what some love are not worth while to others.

Good luck! GROW ON!

Take a look at Seedsman. Their strains are very nice and very affordable.

If you are looking at serious seeds, check out the new OG x White Russian. Have read some good reviews on that one.

For now I feel that I will be going for Amnesia (Nice cross between Ko Chang x Skunk/Cinderella 99/Jack Herer), Original Skunk, Critical plus 2.0.

Keep em comments coming tho, if you have anything in mind or you have tried one of the followings and feel that I should not waste my time with them.

My head was absolutey spun on my shoulders this past year by beans from Antenna seeds (seedbay), I'm a 28 year veteran when it comes to growing , 32 years toking, so when something spins my head..... it's staying in my garden for a long time.
I vegged 5 weeks from seed under floros (128watts) and flowered under 940hps. 2+ ounces of simply top shelf, dense trichome covered, hit like a hammer but zero couch effect, pure sativa goodness.
I am a skeptic turned huge fan of Antenna's varieties and would encourage everyone to give these easy to grow 9/10 week sativas a place in their garden. They are super affordable too.

Any suggestions on the Sour Diesel part? Many different phenos / strains on diesel. Sour Diesel also sounds really tempting to me.

For sour karma's headbanger is a good sour x og cross. ECSDH by connoisseur also.

For Chem something like og chem or a chem d cross in general.
