Hey,i am going to do a small closet grow in a while and i have been trying to decide what to grow ,maybe you guys can fire some suggestions at me and i can make a better choice.I'm growing 3 plants hopefully ,no more than that.Security isn't really an issue it's my house and i think my gf will tolerate it if i sweet talk her enough.I'm really not going for anything fancy or expensive.Theres a 400w all spectrum grow light on a website for £50 which will do the job.Then the only other equipment i'm going to have is a small cheap fan to keep the air circulating around the closet.Its quite a big "walk in " closet in an unused room,so it's a sweet space.I also might get an ozone generator if the plants stink my house out too much,i'll have to wait and see as i have no idea how stinky it will be.I'll be buying the seeds on picknmixseeds.com ,you can actualy buy just one seed if you want ,of any strain which is cool.Like,you can buy a feminised northern lights#5 x haze seed for £18 rather than have to buy the whole pack at £180.Anywayy ,what strain should i grow ,there is soo god damn many strains and they all look so sweet,i just can't decide.I have a few in mind but i'll wait and see what you guys say first.one love.

make it easy get an auto flower. also dont waste time with males go feminized, Now that narrows it down alittle. The lowryders work for areas that have low ceiling . good buzz. i would try Afgan kush ryder that yeilds good and is a seed to harvest in 7-8 weeks.22% thc if done right. Or you can go with royal queen auto. medium plant seed to harvest in 60 days yeilds 300-400 gm per m2. medium thc. but good. you just gotta see what you think fits you your medical needs.If you have pain ,spasm, cant sleep,anxiety . northern light blue good for that.go with indica they generaly finish sooner as well. if you have more time. go with somthing larger but that means longer. Also make sure your girlfriend is ok. seen to many go down due to a lovers scorn.....

I'd say go for something that is easy to grow for your first time. Northern Lights, White Widow, Pure Power Plant (PPP)... there are many more. Try to get something with less flowering time. Any "haze" (sativa) will have longer flowering times, and are typically more difficult to grow indoors.

The autoflowers are OK if you have space issues, but they yield like 20-30 grams per plant, so for 3 plants, it's not that much. A regular indica like WW or PPP can yield about 50-60 grams per plant with 4 weeks veg and 8-9 weeks flowering.

I think you will get into temperature problems with a 400w light though... you'll need to look into some way of cooling the room. The smell will also be a problem, either in that room or possibly the entire house. You can get kits like this: 1m² Cool Tube Growing Kit 400W complete, 289.95euro; (http://www.head-nature.com/05747) for a decent price. If you decide not to ventilate properly, you'll have to keep the room cold and probably keep the closet door open when the light is on, but then you'll have to heat the room and keep the closet door closed when the light is off to keep the temps in range. No more than 30C, and no less than 20C, 25C the best, and the less temperature variation, the better.

Happy growing :jointsmile:

Whatever you pick, choose something that's been around awhile, as the more stable strains (like WW, Northern Lights, or AK-47) will give you better yields, fewer hermie problems, and more consistent phenotypes. Good luck mate.
