I've been trying to pick one or ideally two of these strains to grow in my grow tent. I would love to hear some feedback on anyone who has grown or tried these strains. Size could potentially be an issue (my tent is 2x4x5) but I think most of them are indica dominate so they shouldn't grow too tall.

White Widow - A tried and true strain that will make almost anyone happy.

The rest of those strains are not for beginners. Tangerine Dream was the skimpiest plant I have ever grown. 14 weeks and still not even an oz off a plant.

Strawberry Cough is very nute finicky in my experience and it can turn out amazing or amazingly shitty within the cycle. I didn't keep these in the garden because I don't have time to feed each one individually. I have too many to make 50 batches of nutes.

Super Lemon Haze is tasty but it stretches and I have only done one of these. She came out nice but not as dense as the WW.

GSC the yield isn't there and it is a very finicky plant, this is best compared to growing finicky OG's. Depending on the light you use you can see node spacing between 2 inches and 8 inches. Really good smoke but that is it.

White Widow.
She's hardy and reliable - perfect for beginners to grow
BUT she provides heavy yields of excellent bud.

Avoid HAZE until you've grown a few crops and built up knowledge and confidence.
Haze can be sensitive and fickle.

I pick 'none of the above'. No Barney's Farm, no GHS, no GSC which is reportedly tranny happy, no finicky SC if you're new, and WW is offered by about a gazillion companies and you didn't mention which you were considering. No disrespect intended at all, amigo, but you sound like a High Times reader.

If you're gonna go fems, there's a Delicious Se-eds thread on RIU that has definitely gotten my attention. Good luck.

If anything on that list, I'd go with black widow, the original white widow. Amos kinda said what I wanted to post when I first read this but couldn't find a nice way to put it. That list looks like questionable shit to me minus my above suggestion

haha You are completely right...I did get all those out of ads from high times. I just don't know where else to look for strains. The plants I have now are cloned, I guess it's Cheese. They look good and they work perfectly for the tent I have because they are so bushy but I heard that Cheese and Indicas in general are more likely to just be couch lock weed. Which can be cool but I like more fruity tasting and cerebral high. So I made a list of a bunch of high times ad strains that looked alright then checked my list on leafly to narrowed it down to the list above. I'm completely open to suggestion of strains fitting that description along with a good place to get seeds from. Ideally I would like to get my seeds from inside the US because i'm guessing its easier then having to go through customs but if people recommend a site outside of the US I'm open to it. Suggest away people haha

Well most of what you are getting are poly hybrids. Just because something grows more short and bushy, doesn't mean it will end up couch lock like due to sativa influences bred in. I Made the mistake of buying my first beans based off of high times winning strains and was highly let down. I had weak plants, beans that didn't pop, finicky plants, intersexed plants and nothing that really met the breeders description. To be fair, these were my early grows and I made mistakes along the way but it certainly wasn't the first plants (years of gardening) I've ever grown. Do you have a budget and what you are looking for in terms of product outcome, space limitations, and flowering times? Perhaps the community could give you some suggestions

Budget - None, Just want a good product.
Space - 2x4x5
Light- 400w MH/HPS
Yield - Avg/Above Avg. ( If something was below avg but unreal I'm open to it)
Flowering Time- can be whatever...I should have more then enough bud to last me until my next harvest and also the dispensaries all should be open before my next harvest so that could hold me over.

I would like it to be fruity and a productive high and that is really it. As far as growing experience, This currently is my first grow so i'm learning as I go but between this forum and a group of other growers I have helping me I feel like even if i'm making mistakes they are fixable mistakes that shouldn't seriously hurt the plants outcome...but again this is my first grow so maybe i'm very wrong.

Well you are in a similar size as me. My tent is 4x3x5.5 with a 600 watt. I like your flexibly as you will soon find out that listed flowering time is rarely spot on (and ya don't wanna pick early!!!). While I have no experience with Black Widow others may let cha know if it fits the bill. Based on my limited experience and my favoritism towards Bodhi gear, I think superstitious may fit the bill. I've got a good write up in the massive bodhi thread. For a poly hybrid, all girls were extremely uniform, and didn't have a lot if stretch which is good for tents. She wasn't my cup of tea (I like a good strong medical high, couch lock a pain killing) but all girls were very great day smoke, no couch lock. A very nice lemon peel aroma with a touch of berries on the back end. Yield was average and all finished between 9 and 10 weeks. I've got a few pictures I can take of the finished bud and of the last few flowering ones this evening if you are interested.

Yes def interested in that and I will look up those strains. I did forget to say in my last post that I was hoping to grow two different strains so that they would need to be similar enough to be going through the same cycle together...how ever long or short that may be. The Cheese i'm growing now usually takes 60 days to bud from what I've been told which I believe is on the shorter end of flowering so I should be able to always get clones of that plant but I just would like to try two new strains.

Yea I run a multi strain garden. Right now I have 10 strains running. I also have a basic florescent veg area next to the tent In the closet. The permanent line up now is Sunshine Daydream (my favorite in my garden, she's going no where!), blueberry hill, and Goji. Testing in flower now is Valentinex (high CBD clone only), white lotus, pagoda, and lemon zinger. Doing my last run of my superstitious right now (but like I said she stands on her own, uniformity, taste and high are awesome just not for me). In veg I have mountain temple, more pagoda and white lotus, snow queen and grape stomper (non GGG). I can easily share some pics for you and I think they speak for themselves :)

I agree that the best of the ones on your list would be WW.
I would suggest however, that you consider Northern Lights.
Super easy to grow, less stretch than WW.
The shorter squat xmas tree type pheno NL can be wickedly potent and tasty.

To do this amount of plants I simply stagger them, popping 3 to 4 beans at a time. Eta I do all this in a closet that's 3.5 wide and 10.5 feet long
