auto flower may be your best opton if your trying to keep a low profile and a quick turn over just remember the first time you buy them buy allot cause you cant clone autos

Uh UH..........not unless you wan to stay a slave to the seed companies forever , along with substandard genetics , yield and potency. The autos are for those folks who are too lazy to control their own lighting and they will in the end be QUITE limiting from a genetic standpoint.
And no I don't wish to argue this and I *am not* trying to offend you but the fact remains that one of the absolute worst things that the seed companies have done is to bring the Ruderalis genes into the Sativa/Indica gene pool.
Keep in mind that in the natural setting as a landrace the Ruderalis strains contain about the same amount of THC as most of the Hemp strains........meaning almost *none* , autoflowering is a natural mutation to insure survival in far northern climates with very short seasons and very dramatic light conditions i.e. 20 hours and up of light a day for a period of the year..
In point of fact , the vast majority of folks would be vastly better off staring from *clones* the first couple of times out and getting a bit of experience in maintenance and feeding , along with learning how to clone well. This way when they do start from seed they will have a better idea of what to select as a mother , how to maintain her and how best to utilise her.
When starting , see to the environment first , then pick a stable strain that's forgiving and easy to grow.Keep it *simple* the first couple of times out.
As regards " hydro stores" and the nutrient companies****there are NO "magic bullets".......NONE***** , a cursory examination of certain segments of the agricultural industries and what's utlised by folks whose *livelihoods* depend on results on a daily and seasonal basis will highlight just what sort of pirates many of the nutrient companies are. And yes if I have to I will name names.......
Most important items when getting set up are environment and genetics , without those two items being addressed properly then the best soil and nutrients in the world will be of no benefit , and if you fail to address growing environment then the best genetics will just go to waste.

Don't write that Ladyburn off until you have it cured and tasted/tested. For your purposes you might want to look to NL5 , good stealth plant from an odor standpoint and you should have no complaint on the potency.
And there's many a strain that would potentially work for you , if you have access to clones then try 'em from clone first before going to the hassles of acquiring seed , if you want seedstock invest in seed from strains that you *already* know you like........many a person has wasted money of seed only to be dissapointed in a given strain.
These links may help a bit........the first one will give you *real* world info on potencies , though their database isn't huge yet , it is however growing and is a useful tool.the other one may be of some benefit in wading through all the name changes and pedigrees of the various strains.
