damn this turned in to a pretty good thread. thanks for the info zcomp. c99 is a heavy sativa right ??? I was really liking the look of it, with the low odor and all. but with cfls and a scrog setup, what seems to be the best indica dominant strain ?
I have no power to grant any strain the title "Best". But if I were to name a couple that I like.... White Widow or White Rhino.
What ever you pick remember, Your first grow is probably gonna be stunted in some way, Don't judge a strain until you've worked with it enough to bring out its full potency. That could take 2 or 3 grows of the same strain. I've noticed that each harvest of a strain gets better and better as you learn what your strain likes.
I have heard c99 requires a lighter amount of nutrients. Would this mean I could cut all strengths in half. Meaning, instead of 1/4 strength nutrient for young clones it would take 1/8 strength. Full strength for flowering would then be 1/2 strength....
Is this something I could go by ?
Any light is enough to flower with. But do you want any weed for your efforts? I would want more light than that.Quote:

opie's right. Dodge Viper VR4 Twin Turbo, Sals pizza, cherry garcia and doggystyle are just my opinions. They might change later tonight.
True, but I was suggesting more of a strategical approach. Eg. Using a indica strain because of their lower light requirements, (as zcomp suggested) Also, using a branchy strain that is easy to train. All strains have their ups and downs, and I would like to find a strain that its ups matched the needs of a CFL hydro scrog. I didnt really ask for the best general strain, I set constraints. If I asked for the best 4 wheeling vehicle, surely you wouldn't tell me a dodge viper. Contraints are important. Potency is not one of my constraints, my constraints are: Low light requirements, branchy, etc. C99 seems to be my winner, but zcomp mentioned that sativa dom strains do not do as well with cfl lighting.
If this thread needs to be moved it would be fine in my log thread, as it pertains to most questions I have had about setting up my grow.
You've got good taste. I don't know Sals, but Yes! to the others. I've lusted after the Viper since it first came out. Always choosing the Viper in video games.Quote:

Most any you can prune, LST, FIM, top, or whatever, to make it do what you want, screen or otherwise. Some don't like it, but most will tolerate it if you try to be gentle. One of the best way to find out what individual varieties do is to look at what seed sellers have to say. One place I often look is Marijuana Seeds (cannabis, pot) shipped worldwide.
Yeah dude, I fell in love during GT3 When I hooked up over 1000 Horse. Then my friend working at a dodge dealership took me for an orgasm inspiring ride. I'll never stop reminiscing of that day, The day I became a part of the seat going 0-60 faster than I imagined a car could.Quote:

I can tell you with confidence, My indica bagseed produced huge buds under CFL only, and in dirt. Its possible to do anything.
