Hi, I need a little help on deciding from the millions of strains I see on this beautiful thing called the internet. And I have shortlisted a few for my first grow. However I need some advice from people who've grown this strain successfully or a good alternative to a particular one that I mention. My setup will be a low-height set up and I prefer harvesting single cola plants; some of which stretch, some that stretch a little, and some that don't stretch much really. All indoor. I need to finalize 6 mothers from the strains I pick; for my SOG. I will be cloning and if anything on that regarding a particular strain, would be lovely. Any suggestions or alternatives highly appreciated.
I need to shortlist -
2 Indica dominant
2 Sativa dominant
2 Indica
2 Sativa
2 Sat/Ind 60/40 40/60
1 or 2 Auto-flowering (for a greedy quick harvest while my first batch is in the oven)

Thanks a ton for whoever read this so far, i'm sure you'll be of some help :thank you:

So here goes.

Strains:
Ice
LSD
kali mist
Opium - Paradise
g13 haze vs laughing buddha -barney's
white russian
Smile-Kannabia
og kush/allkush
2046/blue hell - medical
Acapulco Gold
Wappa
Space
BC Blueberry/dp - blueberry/blueberry gum
Trojan Auto/ vertigo auto/Maxi Gom

Desired characteristics of bud(Not all in one,what I like)
Fruity
Mellow(Mid-Day)
Cognitive(I need my brain to work, maybe better)(Sativa?)
Strong(for good times)(Indica?)
Appetite stimulant(I can't seem to eat otherwise)
Preferable to be smooth on lungs (Tend to cough horribly)

Well, that's all I can think of, I hope I'm pretty clear. Help :D

Well you mentioned in your post about gettin a quick harvest in while you sort your shit out

For a quick harvest I would forget Auto's ( although it's a good idea ), but go for a strain called Wappa from Paradise seeds and do the fems...there quite cheap and will more or less double in height from 12/12 to finnish. Grown these myself and the description is spot on, I grew em like they say in the description. Vegged till they were 12 inch's and they finnished at 22 - 26 inches when mature. Pretty nice even canapy and 15 oz's off a 400watt HPS and 12 females in 2 gallon pots-6 pots with 2 plants grown in rockwell, and hand fed nutrients...canna.

I'm going on....too high.

Hope this helps.....but see what others say.

Since this is your first grow, you have maybe set your sights a little high.

For instance, Blueberry, and relatives in the Blue line can be very finicky. Even seasoned growers can find them to be hard to dial in.

Acapulco Gold (the real deal anyway) can be a challenge indoors.

Kali Mist is a long flowering plant that can grow pretty tall. Not impossible by any means, but it would need to be trained/LST for low height.

And then there is the cost factor. Kali and some of the others can be expensive.

I'd recommend Nirvana beans for a first grow. they tend to be forgiving and they are inexpensive.

Look at Northern lights for a pure Indy
Master Kush for a Indy/Sat
Blue Mystic for a Blue type
ICE is a good choice
White Rhino
AK48
Bubbleicious

You're bound to make mistakes, might as well learn on the cheaper beans. And there is quality to be found in their gear. Lots of Nirvana fans around here.

That's what I'd do, but it's your cash. I'm just offering a suggestion.

Thanks @everyone.. I'm going to start with a few beginner strains and some that just looked plain interesting. After listening to you guys, i just ordered about 4 feminized seeds, and a 5 pack of regulars... I'm new and i'd like one or two grows till I can grow stuff like Kali Mist and Acapulco Gold. I ordered one of -
Barney's Red Diesel Fem
G13 Labs Blueberry Gum Fem
Delicious Fruity Chronic Juice Fem
Soma Seeds SoGouda Fem
Secret Valley Seeds Regular *5 (ordered these seeds because i'm ordering seeds for the first time)
I got some free seeds too - Dinafem Moby Dick, G13 Labs Skunk #1 Fem.

I thought if the seeds do arrive and i'm able to grow, then maybe a few months down i'll look into ordering some kali mist, lsd and others suggested :) thanks all.....

You growin to get high tarushagarawal? Dont waste your time growing 2nd rate stuff. Blow past the mediocre,(all the strains listed above), and go for the real shit. Buy you a pack of sensi star and a pack of jack herrrer. Those are 2 of the most potent strains ever made and in existence today. Both have been no#1 for years: proven, repeated superiority over everything else. Learn to grow the best, avoid the rest..

Ha, cool. I like. Btw i'm in a third world country( so they call them) now, and I won't be here for longer than 6 months, so I'd like some experience before I can move to more potent and top 'rated' strains. Here, you get more or less seeded bud and hardly anyone has even heard of sinsemilla and for my friends at home, it'll be amazing to have even these, i hope. If all goes good, Jack herrer and sensi star are most definitely going to be amongst my mothers for my second grow in a different more hydro-oriented country. :)
