High Tech Grow - Which seed strain?

High guys, as you can see im a newbie on this site... using the info on uk420 and rollitup ive managed to design a great grow room measuring 3m w x 4m l x 2m h. Its going to be based on a 24 pot IWS flood and drain system with either 2 x 1000w cooltube lamps or 3 x 600w cooltube lamps. ill be running a sealed environment using co2, a 10" RVK with carbon filter to scrub the air of smell which obviously will be recirculating and there will be 2-3 5" RVK's pumping air to the lamps and exhaust outside, the air in these light coolers will not come into contact with the grow room air so no need to scrub them. Ill be using a reverse osmosis pump for water and also will have a series of 4 fans and an air conditioner w/ dehumidifier to monitor temp and humidity. The water will be heated and airated, and im planning a whole host of nutes and additives by Dr Hornby (big bud, bud blood etc...) or canna but havn't decided yet. Finally the walls and any ducting used will be fully insulated to minimise heat transfer, and walls will have fully reflective diamond sheet.

My question is ive seen so many strain types i have no clue which to grow. could some people either advise of some candidates or discuss my own thought of possibilties... (take into account ill be growing straight from fem seeds). Ones that I have thought of are white rhino/white widow/big bud/ el nino/blueberry all either by dutch passion or greenhouse. Please take into account that yield is v v important... thanks dudes & dudettes!

you obviously have time, money and space; why not get regular seeds and select mothers with your first run? i recommend subcool's entire catalog

Hi PHX,

I do have the space and money... when it comes to time though this is a tricky one... in my current location i have 13 weeks left... im thinking just get a cycle done then leave the selective breeding till im settled in my new place... ill check subcools stuff out now... also i never mentioned this but im british so anywhere europe based would be ideal?!

cheers

Its truly a hard question. I assume this room has never been used before so you dont know if you will have heat problems or humidity ( to much or the lack there of. I am in California so where I am humidity is very low in the summer, so with the right amount of cfm's I will not have a high humidity problem or aka a mold problem. My advice really study your weather of your area during the time you are growing and see how well it lines up with this. Veg cycle 65 to 75 % humidity plus no higher then 85 F temp. Flower 40- 50% humidity 85 F temp. If you feel that the 40% humidity is really low for the natural humidity in your area for the time you are growing you are going to maybe have a mold problem, then I would look for strains that say they are mold resistant. If the natural conditions for your area and time of year aline with these temp and humidity then you are not forced to change mother nature in a big way and you can look at strains just for yeld, look into Big Bud strain.

oh and I would be looking at growing more shorter plants then less tall plants. with 13 weeks you are under a time crunch. If you have absolutely no problems during your veg phase ( mold, to many notes, off balance of ph etc) then you should be able to get your plants to about 12 inches in about a month. That is if you are using seeds under 600 watts of hps. Then your flower time left is only 8 weeks you can only grow indica sativa mixes to be able to finish flower stage in 8 weeks. Dont know if lavender is available to you but with your time available that strain will fit and I have grown that strain my self it is great bud good strong mental high plus great blue berryish taste. But has mold problems in my experience..
