choosing your strain...

I'm looking for a real heavy producing plant that finishes relatively early, but I want one with an ultimate taste, smell, and high. What should I get?????

Real.

Taste and smell are very subjective, take a look at the "does hydro loose flavour" thread.

As far as I know all the commercially available strains are capable of being very potent when grown properly. The only exception to this seems to be the autoflowering strains where potency and yield is sacrificed for a quicker turnaround. Auto-flowering strains and hydro don't really go together very well as you can't take cuttings and can't sex them until they flower.

For a maximum yielding early finisher Skunk Special from female seeds produces massive colas in about 52 days. It will also get you hammered. Then there's pot of gold from "flying dutchman" which has an absolutely humongous yield but you have to compromise on time as they can take more than 70 days.

For maximum yield and minimum time, "Pure AK" again from female seeds looks promising, although I haven't actually grown it myself(unlike the other two recommendations). In ideal conditions it should be ready after 48 days of 12/12, and is said to be give a high yield.

You'd have probably got more answers if you'd asked this question in the "Strains and Hybrids" section rather than the hydro section.

i guess I was just looking for something like sweet tooth or cotton candy.....something with a real candy taste, good high, and a nice yield...something yield wise like the AK. but i dunno. the flowering time isn't necessarily a concern but im not trying to grow any 12 weekers, thats for sure

Is this for You? Or, are you just going to sell most of it?


If it's for you, then you need to look into the types of smoke that work best for you. I've watched too many folks post for a few months, gear up for a grow, finish it successfully and then drop off the face of the earth because they're so stoned for 2 months that they fuck up their life.

Don't be dumb :D Think before you grow. :tiphat:

Stay Safe! :tree:

That sounds like what happened to me after my first harvest. I did not ruin my life, but everything was put on hold while i got baked hard for two months straight.

Now I like having a couple different strains to keep things fresh. I don't care how good something tastes, if you smoke the same herb everyday you eventually get tiered of flavor/high. Mix it up.:2cents:

its not for me....i just want everyone to be happy but still have a nice cash crop yield.

from what you described you are looking for, i'd pick serious seeds bubblegum. really sweet smell/taste, tons of resin, hardy and forgiving to grow... good yielder, not as much as ak47 i think but pretty close.
