URGORG KILLER SKUNK
BARNEYS FARM VANILLA KUSH
CHEMDAWG
BARNEYS FARM CRITICAL KUSH
FLYING DUTCHMEN SKUNK CLASSIC

I found those pretty easy to grow and they are some of the best. Grow something good, grow em all fuck it its a great first learning experience even if you do fuck up (which is inevitable) thats ok they will get better from here on out. just keep em the same height from the lights. Good luck dive head first into the bitch thats self teaching, we'll be here to help.

edit:when i say some of the best I mean as far as personal experience. There are sooooooo many good stains out there now its hard to keep count.

Maybe that could be a possibility too.
Because i have a lot of spare time, I like gardening and o have some experience with gardening, diving head first like that could teach me way more. I'm not that interested on having a big yield. Maybe in the futuro i will, but atm that's not the case.

I'd get your self a few autos , chuck 2 in then half way through start another 2 and go on like that , should give you 2 plants to chop every 5-6 weeks if keep it rolling :)

I wouldn't bother with autos. My first indoor grow was 49 plants in 1 gallon containers in a 4 x 4 tent. 8 different strains. It was a nightmare to maintain, but I got about a pound of weed from it. Now I grow in 7 gallon pots, (would like to go bigger) still multi strain, a lot fewer plants. I'm glad I did the first grow as I did though. I learned a lot!

There have been some good suggestions and some not so good.

First off - skip auto's altogether !! Personally, I have never liked White Widow!

I'll give you a list that covers what you ask for. Some are a bit fussier then others but, nothing too hard.

Exodus Cheese (cheese #1) - Kaliman
Ghost cut OG - Dr. Greenthumb
Super Silver Sour Diesel Haze - Connoisseur Genetics
Pineapple Express - G13
Kosher Kush - Reserva Privata

Here is a reserve list you may want to try down the road

AK-47 - Serious seeds
Blue Dream - HSO
ECSD - Dr Greenthumb
Blue Cheese - Big buddha
LSD - Barneys Farm
LA Confidential - DNA Genetics
Black Russian - Delicious Seeds

I could go on and on......

You have good lights for 32x32 you can grow 6 different strains in 2 gallon pots easily. Just flower them after a 5-7 day veg. I would go 24 hours of light for the first 5 days after germination then start the 12/12 light cycle for about 5 weeks with the metal halide then switch to the hps and decrease to 8 to 10 hours to finish them. This will be easy on the electric bill too.

I am not really caring about the electric bill. Just want to get the best experience possible.

I uderstand that you personally never liked them, but shouldn't i atleast try?
About the auto, i was going to skip them, but was thinking to have just one, so i can have my own experience with it, and because is something fast, since i plan to train my other plants.
Thanks for the suggestions. Just need to decide how many of them i am going to plant, since there seems that there is not a definitiv answer whether i should have 2, 6, or 20 plants.

Go with 6 of the same strain, you’ll rock it!
Mix’em and you’ll always wonder if they could have finished better.

It really seems like a nightmare.
If i go with auto, it's just going to be one plant, so i can have my own experience with it.
have you ever used 3 or 5 gallon pots? and why you think 7 aint enough?

3 and 5 gal pots are the size pots most folks use to grow. 7 gal pots and larger are usually used by folks that intended to have longer veg and flower stages to give roots plenty of room to grow.

I never smoked weed. i can't even decide if i should go with indica sativa or hybrid. i know the effects, but on theory only, i don't know which i would like to smoke, and I think the only way to find out is to try. Besides, i am not really looking to have the biggest yields only, i am doing it for fun, and something that i really like about weed its all the different strains that exist.

This clip from Grow Weed Easy may help you decide on container size.

Final Size Container for Desired Plant Size - General guide

When choosing the size of your containers, you must think about the final size of your plant. Bigger plants will need bigger containers, while smaller plants grow best in a relatively small container. You need to match the size of your plant with the size of your container.

A general guide is to have up to 2 gallons per 12" of height. This isn't perfect, since plants often grow differently, and some plants are short and wide instead of tall, but this is a good rule of thumb.

So if your final (desired) plant size is...

12" ~ 2-3 gallon container

24" ~ 3-5 gallon container

36" ~ 6-8 gallon container

48" ~ 8-10 gallon container

60" ~ 12+ gallon container

For reference I have 100x100x200 cm so Abit more than 3x3
I have 4 dark Devils 1 nearly done, 2 that are 2 weeks behind it and 1 that is a week behind that. I then have 3 that are another week behind that. So basically 7 plants are various stages and it is CRAMPED. All autos.
The final three are trans Siberian, Colorado cookies and blackberry kush.
Colorado is vigorous and would grow again, trans Siberian too, all was stunted (fan fell on them) but that trans is meant to be an awesome strain. Still at least 7-8 weeks from my final three to be done. First should be done in a week or two.

Just an idea if you want to do autos and what a kind of perpetual grow.
If I hadn't stunted the last three it would be even worse. I think 6 autos is a good amount if you're a new grower due to dialing everything in, your yields won't be incredible.

Im under a 600w HPS too.

I already saw this guide on grow weed easy. My doubt was that from what cindysid said, i understood that the idea was going to keep the same strain butilizador, as dargd1 said, let them veg and flower for longer. my question was why she would want to let them veg and flower for longer? she wasnt satisfeid with the actual time the plant would take to veg/flower?
