What Strain Should/Could I Grow?

[Fatt Daddy]

i need grasscity's help. I have a space that is about..24 inches high, 26 inches deep (front to back) and 18 inches wide. Now i need to know what are some good strains i could grow in this space..anyone please. Anything would help, there must be something besides lowryder right?

if you want an indica buzz, try northern lights #5 which is compact & stealthy or, if you like trippy sativas like me, try cinderella 99 or apollo 11.

cindy is racier and more paranoid while A11 is mellower and happier.

you can also use training to keep plants smaller along with other supercropping & SOG techniques

good job avoiding schwaggy lowryder! you're already on the right track.

thanks alot man..do you know which one of these would have the greatest yield?

also could apollo 11 and cinderella 99 really fit in my space? arent they high growing sativas? any info would help...thnx

A11 and Cindy are compact relative to most sativas but it would be a handfull confining them to that space. Not saying it couldn't be done but it would require a lot of attention and probably zero veg time. If you aren't against a couch-lock stone, then most indica-dominant strains would be okay. NL stays pretty compact, Hashberry and Speed Queen from Mandala both stay short, Hindu Kush and Afghani, the list goes on and on. If you are looking for a little more energetic buzz then Speed Queen harvested at 55 days would do the trick.

have you personally tried Speed Queen? does it have a good yield? also are u sure it can fit into a 24 inch space? thnx

[buzb8lvr]

Absolutely, I've tried it and it is one of my favorite strains. It stays very short and chunky and as with all of Mandala's gear it is very hardy and n00b resistant. I grew it in a space that had a little less than 3 feet vertically and had room to spare. Yield is good and the buds gets very very frosty. You may want to do a search in the grow journals, can't remember who but someone had a Speed Queen grow which definitely highlights the toughness and yield. OK found the journal http://forum.grasscity.com/grow-jour...et-up-yet.html

thnx i really aprreciate your help. How do Hashberry and Northern Lights compare to Speed Queen yield and height wise. which would you say is the smallest?

[pokernaut]

i don't have any personal experience with northern lights #5, but it is a basic building block in many award winning strains and also has a rep as a great cash cropping strain and noob friendly.

everything i've read about C99 says it's pretty nice yielding if not the highest yielding in the world, but ANY strain that smokes like a true sativa yet is really doable indoors is tits with me. i'd have to get back to you on actual size after i do my C99 splash grow.

i'll be able to compare it with alot of strains as i'll be doing over a dozen.

speed queen is reputed to be one of the smallest strains as mentioned, but i can't remember anything more to add to that. i'd have to look it up in my cannabibles again to give you more info on that.

Hashberry and Speed Queen both grow short and chunky and take well to LST. I'd say the Speed Queen tends to stay a little smaller but it's pretty close. They both yield well and have super dense and trich covered buds. They are really quite similar, the Speed Queen has a more energetic buzz and finishes a hair quicker, and the Hashberry has a more couchlock stone. From what I've seen nothing takes abuse like Mandala's strains.

I did a cheap NL (Nirvana) so not sure it this is typical but I found it to be a great yielder but stinkier and stretchier than I expected. It can still be kept small but would definitely take more work than the Hashberry or Speed Queen. Potency was decent but nothing great. NL is a hardy strain but not quite as hardy as SQ or HB. I have a few pics of the NL in my gallery.


So as far as yield NL is hard to beat but otherwise I think SQ or HB would suit your needs a little better.

I was reading about Cinderella 99 and it really sounded amazing, the high and the flavor and everything else. I definately want to check out your C99 splash grow, so please pm with the link for your thread if you do a journal of sorts on grasscity, or if your not gonna do a journal just pm me with your observations when you get the chance. ANyways thanks again. Youve been heavily helpful.

speed queen definately sounds insanely appealing to me. wow i never knew mandala seeds were soo good and strong. Youve given me some options, and Speed Queen sounds great for me. Its speedy, short, great yield and a more energetic buzz.

I was also considering NL x Big Bud. from what i read..its short and a great yielder. Do you have any experience or have read anything about it. Anyways thanks again for some more jewels...and that NL is a beaut.

Yeah I definitely agree.

[pokernaut]

well, here's the unofficial thread for my grow so far, but i'll definately create a grow specific thread when i get my lights up and running.
http://forum.grasscity.com/general-i...rs-please.html

i have all of the seeds, flower pots and most of the soild i'll be needing and just need to get lights, build a frame for them, get a fan and build a carbon scrubber. i need to save up a couple more weeks as i've decided to go all out and buy a $$$ vortex fan instead of cheaping out and doing that wrong.

more than anything, i can't wait to get to the SMOKE REPORT part of the grow. that's the one almost EVERYONE cheeses out on and is the most important one to me. it'll be nice to be able to compare all of those strains side by side too with the knowledge they all were grown under the same conditions.

C99 really does sound freakin' awesome doesn't it? i got kicked out of overgrow after fighting with one two many trolls who got tired of me constantly trying to get smoke report details while window shopping until i found info on C99. i tell you, getting detailed smoke reports there was like pulling teeth even with strains that were just bought or harvested.

"man this shit is dank!" just doesn't cut it with me because most people think indicas aren't actually the abominations i think they are. i wasn't going to settle on skunky super silver haze or jack herer both of which have some couchlock no matter how many people tried to convince me otherwise.

i'd tried to get quality reports on burmese, hawaiian sativa, destroyer etc. a long time before falling in love with cindy even if i've never met her yet.

i THOUGHT i'd like skunk #1 when i had a connection with that for a minute because i knew it was 75% sativa, but even that was too couchlocking for my tastes. it might have been due to the grower selecting for the most indica phenos and/or harvesting it late, but it was total schwag to me. couchlock is hideous and unforgivable to me.

stay tuned for the grow. i'll be covering it in great detail from sprouting through smoke reporting. NOTHING is as helpful as reports that directly compare strains against each other.

ha yeah, i definately hear you. I already know your dislike for indicas because ive seen your numerous posts on the city against em. Everyone is entitled to their own tastes, and if you prefer a nice sativa, why should people expect you to settle for anything less. Me personally i can definately enjoy a good couchlock, but not all the time cause that can be a major motivation killer which is why i need a good sativa hookup. The best Sativa i had was some orginal haze, but someday ill be able to dabble in the sativas more.

and yeah "man this is dank" does become tiring after a while. More details..talk about the flavor, the high from the start to the peak to the end, and tons of other things like the stickyness...we have 5 senses for a reason. Its either laziness or lack of vocabulary..i dont know. but your comparison of strains definately sounds like it will be interesting, so im definately tuned in waiting for your official grow thread link.

Thanks man. In fact I did grow out a 3 or 4 NL5xBB but they all turned out males. I did use them to make some seeds with a Cindy99 female. I grew a couple of the C99x(NLxBB) seeds I made and it was good stuff. As far as them staying short, unfortunately that wasn't true at all at least with the males. They all actually leaned pretty heavily to the sativa side. It was quite a bit of work with heavy LST and some topping to keep them from overgrowing my space.
