I'm going to order some seeds soon. My room is almost complete. I'm going to go with a 4x4 veg room and a 4x4 flower room both 8' tall. T-5's for veg and 1-600 watt hid for flower. From my understanding it takes a few weeks to receive seeds after ordering, so I want to have seeds soon.
Of corse I want a good strain that will make patients happy. My question is. What is a good seed strain to start with? I will be using coco coir in 5 gal buckets.

Grow nirvana - aurora indica.
and what ya mean a few weeks? If ya order from nirvana theyll only take a week. 9 days tops from my count but thats just my experience. Go light on the nutes and good luck.

Sannies Madberry is an easy to grow, decent yielder, very good flavor and potency strain. Also done in 8 wks. Not expensive and available fem.

Hey mix it up for veg, but start with just one strain in bloom. Veg is more forgiving, and you can keep them indefinitely in veg with the right plant training.

Get to know the grow. :)

Why just flower one at a time? The reason I'm asking is because I'm 20 days into my second grow from seed (the first ended badly) and I have 3 differnt strains I'm planning to flower.

Good question chef. I would also like to know the answer to that question. Why not flower more than one strain at a time? Is it because of the possible height differences and nutrient needs?

You got it. Also being new to growing, blooming different strains at once can be overwhelming.

Check out the tutorial in my signature to see what a perpetual micro grow can do.

I like to clone then put them to bloom so I know which ones to cull, or keep.

Why not put the clones to bloom instead? If you happen to have a unique phenotype? You would have bloomed it to your pipe instead of saving it.

I'd personally go with Indica strains to begin with since there is less chance of you accidentally running out of head space when you catch the early flower stretch from a sativa dom strain.

As for mixing it up, I wouldnt run different strains because they will grow to different heights and sizes and your canopy will be uneven and it will be hard propping the shorties up to be the same height as the tall ones. If you run one strain, they usually run pretty similar in size/height making your canopy more even and managable. Just my .02

I don't want to hijack this thread, but if I flowered the clones I'd be waiting twice as long. I'll take clones from the seed one, then grow the seed one out. If I like the seed one then I keep the clone. Isn't that how it should work?

If you flower, and fail to clone it? You are shit outta luck anyway.

It takes me two weeks to root a clone & I put it straight to flower.
