best strain to start with for 1st time grower

Phishhead · #1 (**permalink**) 10-13-2001, 09:53 PM

Hey all. I'm a medical patient out here in California and was thinking about starting to grow. I was kind of curious on what would be the best strain to start out with that wouldn't give me much trouble. I've been thinking of maybe going towards Ak-47 or Durban Poison. Any tips would help. I'm going to be growing in my closest which is a space of 2x8.

It real depends on what you got... I know though that Northern Lights is a great strain for first time growers!

A not too tall strain, so no sativa's i guess...
Most indica's are abit smaller.
The northernlight doesn't smell alot so that might
be i good choice.
Because beginner-growers aren't that patient, i
would start with a fast maturing strain, like top44 or
maybe you can give ruderalis strains a try.
There are lots of strains you can choose from...
Check out some seedbanks to find a strain that fits you.

hope to be helpfull

Northern Lights

small(about 4 feet tall)
relatively high yield
natural fungus resistance
affordable seeds (from most banks)
and it tastes good too !

Ruederalis ,,,are you serious,,,have you done any research on those varieties?,,,do so ,,it may change your view.

Seirously... I think I actually got an eigth of ruderalis once (I was desperate and it was $5) It took like four bowls (through a 2 chambered water bong... so it wasn't that terrible) to get me somewhat fuctup and there was about 30-40 seeds in the sack. It might be an interesting thing to work with though... Like if you could breed (or whatever) it to be somewhat potent (like 4% thc) maybe it would be really easy to grow...

Anyway, what do you guys think of cinderella 99 for the first time? I don't know how easy to grow it is, but it's supposed to be a pretty short stature, low odor, high potency, sativa high strain...
Really I'm just not too sure about Northern Lights cause it's so Indica and I'm not too into the whole couch-lock thing... I just want something around 50-50 sativa/indica (or more sativa than indica in any case...)

why not grow bag seed

steve edg · #12 (**permalink**) 07-04-2004, 11:20 AM

you could try shiva shanti 2 (sensi seeds)i've grown it myself and used it on my first grow in soil.and it's not a bad smoke either

paenk · #13 (**permalink**) 07-05-2004, 12:34 AM

Well, AK47 seems like an easy grow for me. It even has a slight smell 3 weeks in :O It's amazing. It grows quite easy, and it's a indica/sativa mix. It has also one 7 cannabis cup awards so you know it's quality. I had a few troubles starting my grow with AK47 but that was due to my inexperience. I recommend AK-47 or Northern Lights. Both are good picks.
