ive looked into strains for the past 2 months trying to decide what to get this time around. there are so many strains out there that i'd just love to try. sadly, at this time money is an issue. when i mean money is an issue i mean i cant afford the $20+ seeds i desire...(ie. og kush, sour diesel, etc)

Heres my list ive put together over the past 6 months or so: (info on what type of strain i seek and my setup is down below...)

by breeder:
barney's farm - acapulco gold, blue cheese, lsd, pineapple chunk, vanilla kush
dinafem seeds - cheese
dna genetics - hashplant haze, sour cream
female seeds - black widow, c99 (if it was in stock), grapefruit/iced grapefruit, widowrella
g-13 labs - blue venom, blueberry gum, midnight kush
greenhouse - strawberry haze (sounds amazing), bubba kush, damn sour, jack herer, kings kush, nl5 haze mist, super lemon haze, white widow, white rhino
kannabia - original berry, smile
nirvana - ice, master kush, snow white
reserva privada - silver bubble
sagarmatha - strawberry d-lite
seedsman - original skunk #1, white widow
world of seeds - afghan kush, afghan kush x yumbolt, chronic haze

and thats just the short list. i have a complete one where $ isnt a factor its easily twice as long lmao.

due to my situation im stuck with these restrictions as to what seeds i can get.

NOTE: i MUST get feminized seeds...i dont have the space to grow twice as many plants as i need nor do i wish to spend all the extra $$$ on the nutes, soil, etc they must get through the veg stage only to find out they are useless (ie. males)

1) i need a strain ideal for indoors
2) i need a strain thats either a "name" (in terms of quality/potency...ie like a white widow/rhino, blueberry, etc. pretty much something with an established name) or a strain that is a hybrid of "names" (ie. white berry which im doing now is blueberry x white widow) but the name white berry itself wasnt too popular when i started it. i hear about it more now.
3) flowering time isnt an issue..be it 6 weeks or 16 weeks
4) yield IS an issue...looking for a lb per m2...i will be doing two m2
5) something with bag appeal, frosty, maybe an inviting scent, etc.

if i have to choose i'd rather have quality over quantity but if i can find both that would be ideal.

my setup will be as follows:
2 600w digital ballast hid lights (one will be mh, the other hps) i intend to swap plants under each light weekly for a complete light spectrum for the plants)
fox farm ocean forest soil and 3 part nute system (big bloom, grow big, tiger bloom) and grandmas molasses

i havent made up my mind yet but im considering just doing 3-4 plants per 600w hid system in 5 gallon buckets...originally i thought 6 plants under each light in 5 gallon buckets but im going to be using the following techniques and im very fond of them. and also since $$$ is an issue by doing only 6-8 plants total for 2 600w lights i will save money by buying only about half the seeds i would need.

techniques to be used during the grow:
super crop
major or minor lst (whichever is needed mattering on the strain)
topping (or possibly fim technique)

so im looking for something that will respond well with super cropping, lst, and topping.

the night temps will be pretty cool (so a strain that turns colors under low temps at night would be a bonus that would work in my favor.) no lower than maybe low 60's at worst.

a strain that responds well in day temps of 78-85 would be a bonus as well. humidity MAY be an issue at times...could his 60's to maybe 70 at worst...i will try to keep it in check...hard to do during the rainy/snowy season (winter).


thanks for reading my thread. any opinion is valued here.

I can verify these are good strains, as I have grown them a fair bit: barneys vanilla kush AND dinafem seeds - cheese ------------------------ vanilla kush will soon be known as a classic for indoor growing, its a very good strain, howver, I have grown indicias that rival it but they are not on your list, never the less, vanilla kush IS a high quality indicia strain

The one question that you need to answer is ... what type of smoke are you looking for?

What is the effect you desire?

Do you want to be a Zombie Cauliflower or super creative, do you want to giggle like a girl or do you want to have trouble stringing thoughts together?

Soooo many different smokes for different tastes and different situations.

Maybe you should try a few strains. As you are growing in soil you can raise/lower pots to keep the canopies even and your LSTing will keep short & bushy.

If you go for a multi-strain grow then try Greenhouse Seeds as they have their mixed packs of "colored" seeds.

By doing it that way, you get to have a large selection of smoke ... there would be nothing worse than having a couple of pound of something you really don't like :-)

Hey,,
Lots of info and choice for you,,, personally, I like satvia dom plants. One for there yeild and two for the high.. Yeah they may take abity longer to finish but are great to grow. Sunk no 1, Im growing that at the moe,, because its a standard, you can judge other plants by the sunk. if you see what I mean.
Alot of the haze family have a good high and are quite easy to grow.
So maybe sunk1, and white widow is great smoking,,
I only buy fem seeds, for the same reason as you, I have had great sucess with sensi seeds,(bought not from sensi) but they have agreat breeeding program and quailty seeds

Like grumpy old dreamer says a mixed pack of fem seeds maybe the way to go, as you will get different types, only down side is if you cant id the plant you dont know what it is.

Hope that helps,,,
take it easy.

only good one i saw was sou diesel, but id tell you, go with super lemon haze or destroyer or arjan's haze #2 ( you can search on google for - marijuana canada seeds - and ull find that seed bank, delivers everywhere just not the u.s , and there success rate on seeds are 100% with me, and good pheno's

ive heard some great things about the vanilla kush online...never really ran into any in person or know anyone personally who has smoked it...
ive heard great things about cheese as well but ever from dinafem. i do however have a freebie haze automatic i got from dinafem (no prior experience w/ dinafem but i have it just a few days in so far no problems)

ive heard the cheese im after doesnt exist as its a u.k. based clone only strain. some breeders claim to use the u.k. cheese cut in their hybrid but im not too sure which cheese is best...

same thing goes for the likes or white widow (however i hear the most good news about them through greenhouse, mr nice (black widow), and seedsman)


Anything from barneys I consider a good choice. Its not on your list but I would reccomend lsd femmed from barneys
it is on my list...check under barneys farm. its on there. i cant lie the 600g/m did catch my attention however i feel some of these breeders flat out lie...especially considering greenhouse house claims white rhino yields 900g/m indoors...i find this hard to believe. dont get me wrong i luv the prices greenhouse has and they seem to come up with good SOUNDING strains but my only previous experience with them (big bang) turned out pretty bad...phenos varied wildly (it was supposed to be 80% indica-20% sativa but all but 2 of my 6 seedlings were sativa dom monsters who yielded WAY less than they claimed and the "anti-anxiety" high was basically non-existant except for maybe 1 of the phenos. the rest induced anxiety.

so i am kind of skeptical of dealing with them again even though i like the sound of many of their strains (ie. bubba kush, kings kush, white widow, white rhino, strawberry haze, slh, ssh, etc.

the white rhino seems pretty good on paper. seems very anti-anxiety as it states the thc is around 11% and the cbd is about 1 or so...

anyone with greenhouse white rhino experience? better from nirvana instead maybe? (even though i'd doubt it)

i hear lots of great news about master kush and nyd. which breeders are they from and how are they working out for you guys?

I can tell you what im looking to avoid in terms of effects...

I dont want a racy heart or a strain prone to causing or making panic attacks worse. something deeply relaxing basically maybe even pain killing but also a good mood enchancer/uplifting...something to make laughing easier w/ a little bit of a clear head. idk like katt williams says, "hungry, happy, sleepy". no psychotic episodes lmao.

i hate smoking weed that makes me feel like im gonna die.. or gives me the feeling i dont have control of myself.

i have a strawberry d seed still needing to be grown. but ive always wanted to try g-13's midnight kush.
where did u get ur strawberry d? (what breeder?).

the midnight kush is new and i havent heard anything good or bad about it yet but the pics of the buds do make it very appealing.

im either looking for an established name or im looking for the next great thing (ie. the reason i picked whiteberry is i thought it would become a popular strain due to its parents...white widow and blueberry).

thats the same reason im always asking about sagarmatha seeds - strawberry d-lite (nycd and strawberry cough!)
 
im growing LSD right now ... seems to be mainly Indica and short... it reaks in veg *hardcore skunky* and respoded amazingly when i fimmed one and super cropped the other *pinched the main stem every day for like 2 weeks and the knot now is un pinchable using all my might!!! im very interested to see what the flowers will look like heres a few pics of the one i fimmed at like the 5th node

canopy.JPGsideshotlstlsd.JPG Click on the blue in my sig for the whole story on this plant... it was dunked in hydro solution and about dyed... so it's a pretty resistant strain ....
I would highly recommend it


as far as the feeling you get when you smoke it is based upon when you harvest morethan strain... if you want a head high were you feel like getting out the house and playing basketball or something. then harvest with Cloudy Trichomes.... if you want Couch Lock.Stoned... you want more amber thrichomes....

Sleepy hungry happy .... sounds like a purple strain havested with a lot of Amber thrichomes

that lsd looks great. sort of like how my white berry plants looked in veg. if you ever need a new strain i suggest that one. it looks AMAZING. one pheno i have is FAR superior than the rest. its the most frosty of the bunch...smells of starburst more than the rest...most sticky...biggest buds and fastest finisher (i had to flush a week before i flush the rest of them...its that quick).

ill get some pics for you to check out.

and hungry happy sleepy does sound like a purple w/ amber.

my only issue is i can't do clones at this time otherwise i'd just pick up a GDP...a purple kush or maybe an urkle.

:-/

i cant remember which of those 3 strains it is now (smoked them a few years ago) but i was totally in love with one of those for the relaxation i got without the paranoia/panic attack.

I've yet to ever meet a single person who was disappointed from growing Jack Herer. Why not go with a proven winner? I've grown a lot of strains that "sound good" but weren't. If it's my time and effort, I'm going to grow something I know for sure will be good.
 
Me and my buddy took like a month before ordering our seeds from attitude seed bank (litereally analyzing each page on Gram per m2, potency and seedcompanies) and we decided to go with ... Pineapple Chunk Fem, LSD Fem from barneys farm... if thier specs aren't made up it pineapple chunk had the highest thc content on the whole website.. and lsd was a close second *not even considering its a past cannabis cup winner* ...

I wouldn't put too much stock in what seed companies claims of THC content. They are largely bullshit. But yes, LSD is a heavy hitter, no idea on pineapple chunk. Is that deep chunk x pineapple express?
