But I would like to hear some comments and recommendations from others about their favorite strain, and why you like it.
I'm going to suggest white widow for 3 reasons. First, its what I am growing and I want to see your results and learn from you what I should have done a month prior and directly see why your methods are superior to mine as a total beginner.

Second, I did do my research before I bought these seeds and this particular strain got so many great reviews and was praised for its ability to give an end product wherever in the spectrum you wished... if you liked indica highs, you could end there, if you wanted sativa you could do it that way.... but most praised this strain as hands down the strongest strain out there. It only took a few reviews of this type to convince me that this was what I wanted to start with.

Third, I have read now that many grow this strain as a benchmark in their grow rooms, because it is very consistent and predictable and no matter what happens in the experimental grow, they know they will come out with a very usable end product with this one.

I will add as a side note that as a total beginner, White Widow for me is so far, forgiving enough to let me make my mistakes but challenging enough to show me what I need to learn to make this hobby work for me. I think too that the pictures I see of the ripe buds glistening in those 20-25% thc trichomes are just plain beautiful and I can't wait to see them in my own grow box.
