Skunk #1 from a reputable dealer or even Mr Nice's version of it - Shit.

Very easy to grow, stable, super forgiving for those learning, and a great high. Not the most potent in the world but it tastes so nice you will want more than a hit or two anyways!

I loved Afghani#1 from sensi when I was starting out.
It can take a hammering and will still reward you generously.

The 8-9 week indica strains are the most rewarding when starting out :canabis:

4 - 6 plants under 400w hps will reap a nice yield,, so a x10 pack will cover it

maybe jus buy some cheap greenhouse seeds get 5 femmed beans for £25 cant really go wrong aint gotta weed out males either.
i wouldnt bother with the hazes from gh for begginin tho jus the hybrids like widow or kush etc
i bought nirvana regulars when i was begginin an got 1 female outta 10 an it was shit. that was quit a while back tho think the strain was mango.

I agree, Afghanis are very easy to grow, that is why I brought up Shit when I mentioned Skunk #1.

Shit is "Skunk#1 (Dom. Afghan) x Skunk#1".

I wouldn't go with fem seeds ever but will plead with you not to go that route your first time. Fem seeds can turn hermaphroditic very easily and your first time the chances of you stressing them is going to be pretty high.

yepp ... one of my first grows was the sensi hindu kush - you just cant go wrong with it - you can even keep it as a father for further breeding projects or make an IBL which is as good as the original becasue its a landrace

Sorry diddn't see that. Seeing as I did so well with my first Afghani#1 grow I'm looking to grow it again with a lot more experience and patience under my belt and see how it fares out.
It really is a fantastic plant.
I've also wanted to grow Shit for a long time.
I've seen some bumper harvests from both those varieties.
One thing I would recommend is buying from a reputable dealer.
Dont go the 20 seeds 20 bucks route.
And remember, You get what you put in.

Try out Cannacopia's Lapis Mountain Indica @ around 20 quid, very reasonable or 35 dollars U.S.??? Potent stuff but a slow at vegging.

it was about 7 yrs. ago i started growing hydro for the 1st time and i used nirvana white rhino and northern lights pure indica and they turned out very good..the WR was potent and very sticky..both were very easy to grow and cheap...honestly, they were better then the paradise and flying dutchman seeds i bought after that , not saying those 2 breeders aren't good or have good stuff..

thanks for answers so i wll remove the silver pearl and white widow and take the afganis and skunk #1 but i will order them from pick and mix so that i decide to order 10 pack of each seed but some people say that only one or two can be female in 10 of nirvana packs?are these seeds cheap beacuse of that ?
and i think i will put 4 different types of seed into my growroom so that these strains has different flowering period and height,so can it be problem for me ?

I grew nirvana's white widow in the past and got 6/10 females.
Also a good beginner strain in my opinion.
What sort of an op are you thinking of?
Grow Tent, Room etc???
Got A/C?

White Rhino and NL are good picks. Depending on pheno your NL should be shorter and squatier...and the Rhino more like a giant candelabra. The WR is probably a little more potent as well. On the other hand, with the NL you might get something more with more flavor and more color (bag appeal)...just not so much a one-hit-quitter, but still good.

hi there 1903,
if thats your birthyear congrats :joint:
my first grow was four whitewidow clones,no chance you can get clones?
i was nervous as hell with the whole seed thing the first time. what to choose ,so many choices.
i still had my widows which i had cloned and recloned a few times but needed variety, so i just went for the cheapest at the time, kc brains.
some posters are pro and anti fem seeds but it is an option.
sorry if im rambling.:joint:
one thing i would recommend is to germ a lot more seeds than you intend to grow out.

good luck,whatever you final choice is
