Hey bud, probably Indica is the best way to go because it is 100% body while Sativa is cerebral. You want to probably stick with a soiless mix or soil your first grow. Can't really afford any mishaps because of cost and time and it sucks so you want to stick with a forgiving medium such as soil or soiless. You want to get some good lights and this for your personal use so you don't really need anymore than 200 watts and you want a spectrum of 5000K for daylight or veg and 3000K for bloom. You want to get organic fertz and I recommend Fox Farm. You can get your stuff on Amazon or maybe eBay if you have no access to organic nurseries or if identity confidentiality is a major issue. Dude, is there a bud that you get that you really like or you like the way it hits your nerves? If so maybe you can score some seeds from them. If not I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Indica strains. Maple Leaf grows fast and easy. Anything with super fat leaves and thick stalks. Anything else let me know. I am big into closet cultivations. Also you don't want to grow more plants than what it is worth because of the Po Po or as I like to mistakenly purposely call them the Poo Poo. Oh you could get a 70/30 mix - Indica over Sativa if you want or you could grow one Indica and one Sativa. That way you have the best of both worlds. Sativa takes longer to grow though and it can be a little more difficult. It will not grow in uniform with the other one if you do that but I think that is probably the best all around you know? That way you have mental relief and physical relief available when you need it. :thumbsup:
