True u r new, but with the right books (I recomend Jorge Cervantes Marijuanna Horticulture as the biblical referance, and marijuanna garden saver) you can have all of the major bugs worked out and have identified some kick ass females within five months even for a first timer. this of course implies that u have the finances to purchase good equiptment, and have a suitable site to grow indoors where u can safely and effectively manipulate the environment to the most desireable conditions.

Also, should consider some Sativas, and indica sativa mixes to keep up the variety. I don't think I could ever match the antidepressant qualities of certain sativas like super silver haze with any indica. Other competing clubs will no doubt have a variety.

Happy growing!
