Honestly since your a first time grower the best thing you could do is just pic a strain and start growing. The faster you do that the faster your guna start learning ...I like growing indica crosses myself but like I said just get some plants going it's the way you learn.

Northern Light x Big Bud would be my go to. A lot of people start with that one. Nice yield, good rocky buds, doesn't stretch a ton, handles nutes well and if you let it go ten weeks you will get a real good couch lock and probably not much anxitey if that's an issue for you.
Sensi Super Skunk is pretty awesome, but a little more finicky. Finishes SUPER FAST though. The last one I grew was so skunky.
I hate to say it, but NL autos are a great way to start out. You just plant it and forget about it until harvest. ready in 10 weeks from seed.

What you mean just plant and forget bout it ? Dnt you have to switch the lights up and feed it nutrients and things ? Or just water and go ?

Cannazym wen flower ? Use that with rizotonic when in veg and then use rizotonic in flower i would go with incredible bulk as very very big.yeilds and easy to control but u dont want them to get 2foot tall or u be taking over your grow room with 10plants haha

I thought rhizotonic was just a root stimulator to help it grow quicker to adapt to a new pot ? Is two metres height not tall enough for a tent then ?

Heres mine 3week veg 1.5week flower as for cannazym it does say use in flower but wen i have tested in flower the buds dont get as hard and end up fluffy tested 3x and same results without it i got hard/heavy buds 2m H is good but depends on how long u veg i would wait till around 18inch/24 max and suppercrop that way wont get as tall but more wide and gives you bigger yeilds

I think autos are great for new growers. After a grow or two you will want to up your skills and go with photo strains, Just a suggestion..
No switching of lights with autos. No transplanting. No advanced training techniques,, Require less nutes,No major worries about light leaks. They stay short and they finish fast.... Many advantages to a first timer.
I gave my friend a NL auto seed in the spring. It was his first grow. By August he had 3 oz dry. It was great smoke. That is a big yield for an auto. I attribute this to it getting sunlight during the day.
Put the seed in a 3-5 gallon pot with fox farms and 25% perlite.
Once it sprouts give it a two 23w CFLS. 20 hours of light and 4 dark.
Add a few cfl's every week until you have 150 true watts per plant,
In week 4 hit it with veg nutes and tie the top down (LST)
Week 5 veg and bloom nutes
Week 6 bloom
week 7 bloom
week 8 bloom
Weeks 9 and ten you can flush or continue hitting it with bloom.
Day 70 or so clip it, hang it, cure it, smoke it,,
You can use tap water, but RO or bottled water would be better. No real need to PH the nutes. Follow the feeding schedule on the website of the nutrient line, not the bottle.
Fox Farms Trio or Genaral Hydroponics Floranova would work well for nutes.
There are did advantages to autos aswell! I do not recommend for first time growers....because they have a certain time frame..point A to point B....you step in between said time frame with overwatering, under watering, heat issues, over fed...etc......it will hurt it tremendously ....I'm suggesting like the others have said either NL, incredible bulk...just get all photo periods they are way more resilant and some can be hard to kill!

Just start with indica strain something that is good with nutes heat and stress as if you are a new grower then you are deffo going to have a few problems with it being the first time all i can advise is you need to spend alot more time reading about it then growing and learning i will give a basic run down?
