good starter strain

[tenjigger]

this will be my first go at growing and im using a ebb and flow system. i'm about to order some seeds and not real sure about who to order from or what strain to get i been leaning towards nirvana's ice or bubblelicious. any advice would be awesome. looking for something thats forgiving and kinda easy but not to easy.
thanks

The Bubblelicious wouldn't be a bad start... never grown it from Nirvana, but always heard good things about it when I was researching Nirvana strains a while back.

a good northern lights is typically solid, noob friendly, and potent enough to be worth it.

im a first timer and i gotta say this sweet tooth (spice of life) has been very kind to me. it was a clone but seeds are all around. i plan on getting seeds my next go around.

I can't be sure but really sounds like one criteria is "low price", on top of being easy to grow. Could be wrong.

Cheap, easy to grow strains with a good stone:

Nirvana Master Kush - Afghan x Skunk. Super easy to grow, good stoney weed
Nirvana Papaya - Indica. Easy to grow, potent greasy, sticky, stoney weed
Nirvana Afghan - Easy to grow, stoney, sticky weed.
Nirvana Bubbleicious - Sweet, bubblegumy, tasty, sticky, stoney easy to grow.
Nirvana Blue Mystic - Easy to grow, sweet, fruity, tasty - some variance
Nirvana AK48 - Easy to grow, nutrient hog, potent. I didn't care for the taste myself, but others loved it.
Nirvana Jock Horror - a bit harder to grow, but not that hard. Taller, lankier, but a big yielder, very up racy buzz
Nirvana Aurora Indica - NL x Afghani - easy to grow, stoney, sticky, potent

Never did the ICE, but if it's like the other Nirvana gear, you should be happy

Nirvana is great for newbies (no offense intended) because they are easy to grow and inexpensive. Good smoke for a modest price. Many, many growers started out with Nirvana, and many still grow 'em.

You can't go wrong with any of the one's I listed

tiki seeds Bella Ciao would be a good choice . its cheap , super easy to grow practically grows its self . pretty quick flowering time and most the plants are pretty good smoke too.

nirvana ak-48, and white rhino are both potent, easy to grow strains. Another suggestion would be skunk#1. Female seeds is another company with good strains cheap, look into there x-line. I have grown there ww X bb, the pure ak, and right now im smoking iced grapefruit and it is excellent.

good luck

AK47, straight up, cant fail!

Shit, from Mr. Nice.

Kryptokronocunalite. But it's clone-only.

 

[Fuzz420]

Sensi star is pretty easy

^^^^What he said

I suggest purchasing a feminized seed.
FemaleSeeds Northern Lights would be a perfect choice, IMO.
I just grew some MOC NL fems and love it. Good yield, grows itself, feed it or don't, very pleasing smoke.

 

[AKDrifter]

I would recommend Serious seeds AK47 or White Russian. I grew both in my last run, very good yields, great quality and very easy in my soil set up.

I will grow both again.

Mandala Safari mix. Killer landrace genetics that are very unique. Same price as the Nirvana stuff you listed but you get 20 seeds instead of 10 with Nirvana. I've got a couple seedlings going really strong right now.

Most folks main concern is that you don't know exactly what you're going to get from each seed. Personally I think that makes it fun. Here's how Mandala describes it:

The Safari Mix contains a mix of seeds from various experimental crosses in our breeder lab. The strains are equally well suited for outdoor (balcony, greenhouse, up to 43° latitude in the ground; further north the harvest time can shift to middle/end of October). The germination rate of our mix is just as strictly controlled as with all our products. Please remember to read our tips on how to plant seeds by clicking the link on the left sidebar. The Safari Mix is ideal:

• for a colorful variety of quality cannabis
• to select unique mother plants
• as a safe investment for beginners or budget minded growers
• for growers that would like to buy many seeds at low cost
• for indoor set-up’s on soil or in hydro
• for potted plants on the balcony/terrace
• as an inexpensive alternative for guerilla grows

Yep, get NL#5. Pretty strong and really easy. White widow and white russian are also easier to grow strains...

This advice is for soil.

 

[kweezy]

get nirvana's master kush.. easy as hell to grow with lovely smelling buds

Can we talk about seedbanks around here? One of them is running their monthly special this weekend and giving away 3 different Nirvana fem auto seeds (NL, bubblelicious, jock horror) with a minimum purchase. (£15 or around $25)

Please let me know if this is not allowed and I'll remove it ASAP.

There is a difference between Gypsy Nirvana and Nirvana fwiw. GN does not have Jock Horror.
