HELP!! Afghan Kush? (First Timer)

[monny10]

Hi Guys!!

I'm doing a bit of research into which variety would be best to suit my first grow and was wondering which variety you guys would recommend?

My grow room dimensions are 70cm x 70cm x 120cm (28in x 28in x 3ft)
(Although I can go higher 5ft max height of grow room)

I will be using 4 x 30watt cfls (equivelant to 4 x 150watts) (600watt total)
(WILL THIS BE ENOUGH WATTAGE???)

My method of growing will be store bought compost and 50-50 perlite mix

I plan on growing 4 plants in SOG method staggering them so I harvest every 2 weeks by giving the plants only 2 weeks vegatative growth before flowering.

My plant requirements are as follows:

1. The variety has to be EASY to grow for a first timer

2. Short in height because of my limited grow space (Im thinking mostly an Indica strain?)

3. not too expensive! and preferably able to be bought feminized!

4. And finally an average yield! (I would be happy with approx 2oz+ per plant!....Is this ambitious given only 2 weeks of growth before fowering?)

I was thinking Afghan Kush! What do you guys think?

Cant wait to hear all you guys ideas, information and feedback!!

Peace

A good bagseed, unless your funds are not an issue. Cheaper to fail using bagseed, and they are usually easier to get. If going with femmed seeds, do so from a reliable vendor, and not some backyard 'breeder' looking for quick bucks over quality genetics..

I'd go with a container potting mix. Especially being a newbie that has never grown. Compost is mighty rough on clones, seedlings and newbies. You will be chasing issues throughout the grow.

Find-out if you can successfully bring a lady to harvest before getting greedy. Especially in your small growspace, with CFL's. The CFL's may do the trick for early growth, but the usable light (strong enough to promote photosynthesis) won't penetrate to the lower regions of larger, taller plants.

Thanks For Your Advice Rusty!!

I'm still in the planning stages and this is all good!

As for the variety....I have some funds and would prefer to buy feminized to save time etc... What would you recommend? Is Afghan Kush a good choice?
