I am going to be ordering some new strains from attitude soon. I am looking for strains that flower around the 8 week mark so they have to be mostly indica dominant. There are just sooo many to choose from so I am looking for some advice on what would be a smart purchase. I was looking at the grand daddy purple from grandaddy seeds and the blue dream from humboldt. Anyone have any other suggestions?
GDP is not recommended for indoor grows. By the breeders. Check out Sweet Seeds' on Attitude. Spanish with excellent strains reviewed highly in Europe but ignored here. Check Fast Devil, Big Devil or Speed Bud. Or their combo packs of those strains if they still offer it.
I'm growing out 2 Super Silver Haze, topped multiple times and then braided and laid over horizontally and held down by weights under a 1000 HPS. I read they are hard to raise but these bitches like B&D I guess. A White Widow innocently going down the same path to be braided today or tomorrow. The side bud production doing this is unreal.
My point is not brag but when "they" say not indoor I would see that as MORE LIGHT MORE LIGHT and a hell of a lot of air. I have a 6' - 7' diameter light pattern. Under that, all in 22-gallon tubs, are 2 indicas fixing to finish flowering in a matter of days, the 2 SSH, the WW all weighted down and spread eagle waiting for me - to "braid" her. Ha ha ha. I also have 3 flowering little bitches my grown daughter and her BF left in there and were going to "take care of them ourselves, OK?" Yep. About 18" tall and I laid them out as best as I could given the time. Buds all over each branch.
"You can't do all those with a single 1000 HPS" and I don't try with 4 dual tube 48" cheapo shop lights with wide spectrum tubes,standing vertically, around those 2 indicas right now. Plus bowl reflector CFL X 2 at 2700K. Southern fried all the way.
OK LOTS of heat makers. I use no less than 3 22" 3-speed fans, one in an open window and 2 set to keep a circular wind going 24/7. Then I have a single 10" turbo fan on a ladder with my hygrometer and thermometer where it blows across the reflector and canopy. The 3 large fans usually are on "High" until about 2 hours after lights out.
Now I'm lucky. 2 story house in Alaska kind of detached from any neighbors. Heavy woods right behind me with enough grizzlies to keep hikers on the roads here. Moose that will literally stomp you to death if provoked. So need for carbon filters for me.
However if I decide to install a filter to keep the house odor free I would immediately begin calculating an entire system in addition to the fans used now. Move the air and keep moving it. Frequent air exchanges eliminate a great deal of the odor. More importantly it allows me to grow many strains people gripe about. And, yes, I have failed. Many times over 45+ years of smoking and growing. Even Muhammad Ali was defeated and more than once. 'Nuff said. I know of things I speak or I hold my tongue. Go for the GDP!!!! No guts, no glory. Semper Fi!
