I know it is early and the season wont start for a long time but i would like to find a strain now that would be good for me. I am pretty inexpieienced and want a fairly hardy indica plant. i am growing outdoors and and live in los angeles. i would like to have a plant that has an early flowering period. i have heard early girl flowers early and has a good smoke and yield. I am not ordering online i am getting clones from a friend who gets it from a medical cannabis club. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Hey 8balljunky! You can't imagine what a joy it is to have somebody, such as yourself, who actualy plans ahead!!! You have allowed plenty of time to pick just the right strain and learn everything you will need to know! Look around all the different forums, there is a ton of information to be had! Good old "Northern Lights" is a good strain to start with or "Aurora Indica", they're both high THC content (15-20%). It would probably make more sense if we had some idea as to what strains the cannabis club offers as clones. More importantly - learn everything you can absorb so you wont make the same simple mistakes that we see here all too often! Welcome and good luck!!!
thanks a lot for the ideas. i will try and find out what the cannabis club has. until then anyones ideas will help. thanks
You really want a strain thats deigned for outoors that flowers early, such as Mr Nices Early queen or TH seeds Mendocino Madness. Not to forget Hollands Hope.
B'man: 8ball will be growing in Los Angeles, California - 34 degrees North Latitude. They never get a hard freeze in L.A. and don't see a light frost untill, maybe, Christmas! He doesn't need an early strain! He's just willing to sacrifice potency for something that will pay off a little quicker - or else doesn't understand the compromise he is making! 8balljunky: The growing conditions in L.A. (especially with the Inversion Layer) are such that Early Girl type strains aren't really needed to beat any threats of frost. Most strains will tolerate the occasional "dipping below freezing" type of frost pretty well, but as I recall that wont happen untill after harvest time anyway. With your low humidity the risk of mold should be slight, so any strain of Indica that isn'y too finicky should be ok. The sturdiest, most easy to grow, plants are not the most potent - but what it really comes down to; is what the club has to offer!! You will have to wait untill next Spring to grow, so you have plenty of time to gather all the information needed by looking through the old threads. Good luck!!!
If your on the Weat Coast you could try and get hold of a good Kush strain. If theres a club maybee look for an OG Kush cutting or even the MK ultra from seed.
First of all you need to prioritize what you want! What is the most important thing to you? Potency?, yield?, early finisher?,price?, taste?, Indica/Indica+Sativa cross?, smoothness?, trouble free plant suitable for a new grower? What is the least important? You will find that 10 people will give you at least 8 different suggestions!!! If you're having trouble picking a strain; how much do you know about growing? That is what you should really concentrate on!!! The more you know - the better you grow!!! Getting hung-up on the perfect strain, the first time around, isn't nearly as important as learning the basics of how to grow. You can spend hours (many hours!) learning the finer points of seed varieties and srain selection; but what the club has to offer is what really matters!!!
LA has such a benign environment, I would guess that you should grow what you like to smoke. Or I might be wrong.
The most important thing to me is probably that it be a pure or close to pure indica. Potency and yield are important to me too. price and smoothness dont matter at all to me because i am only buying 1 clone. I was thinking that an og kush clone might be good but ive heard theyre finicky and hard to grow.
mmmmmmmmmhmmmmmmmmm early girl sounds delious they look like cheese poofs and by far some of my favorite stuff
