Any "name" indica would be a good choice for a beginner. These are usually pretty forgiving, low-stretch, and have quicker flowering times, limiting chances for errors. I can't speak to the quality of Nirvana's version of same, but Northern lights is a good one.
I don't even know the name of my first strain, since I was gifted what was effectively an entire ceed collection by a smoker friend. He was like. . .oh. . .you want to grow. . .take these. Inside the film cannister (yeah. . .I'm dating myself) was all the ceeds he had pulled out of weed smoked by him and a collection of his smoking buddies over the previous two years.
Retrospectively, I *think* the stash had Mexican schwagg, Skunk, some other commercial strains including indicas, and some pure sativas (that went hermie and into the trash). A lot of them didn't pop, but of the ones that did, there were a few real gems. This was before there was really an internet growing community, and boy did I learn about stretching during flowering the hard way!
First "name" strain I grew was Northern lights.
My friend (who was a big stoner) spent a pretty penny to get a bubblegum ceed imported from Europe in the mid-1990s right after that strain won the HT cannabis cup and was at the peak of its popularity. . .gave it to me to grow for him. . .ceed didn't germinate!
