I like to grow a few plants. I don't have much room to grow them in,, I;d like to grow a nice squatty plant. Any sugestions? Indica?

I believe you can grow bushy, manageable plants with just about any strain... it'll just be way easier if you start with a strains that is already proven to grow exactly the way you want.
Some short, bushy marijuana strains (which produce killer buds) that I personally have grown myself include:

Northern Lights
Aurora Indica
White Rhino
Whenever you're buying cannabis seeds online, you can often read about the different grow styles of different strains. This allows you to particularly choose strains that tend to grow short and bushy.

There are three main types of cannabis, indica, sativa and auto-flowering.

Indica plants grow short and bushy.
Sativa plants grow extremely tall and lanky.
Auto-flowering plant usually start flowering within a month and will go through their whole cycle in 2-3 months, which means they only get to be about 1-2 feet tall.
Strains such as indicas and hybrid strains which are more close to being indica than sativa tend to grow short and bushy, so that's what I lok for.

Autoflowering cannabis strains do not depend on light periods to tell them when to start flowering, which can be convenient.

I do not recommend beginners grow auto-flowering strains of marijuana, in most cases

One thing to keep in mind about growing auto-flowering marijuana plants...

Unfortunately for us, the ancestor of today's auto-flowering strains had next to no THC or useful cannabinoids in the wild, so all the auto-flowering seeds you get today have been hybridized with another strain (usually an indica) to give them potency.

Due to this recent hybridization, auto-flowering strains tend to be less potent than non-auto-flowerings strains, which can be a downside for some growers. They also are low-producers.

I personally avoid auto-flowering strains because I would rather control when the plant starts flowering, and because I want the most potent buds.

I believe the "auto-flower" strains are popular because they seem like they will make your grow easier, but I honestly believe auto-flowering strains are a just a gimmick that often end up being more inconvenient than they're worth.

Why I don't use auto-flowering marijuana strains:

You have next to no control over the size/shape of the plant
Auto-flower strains cannot be cloned (the clones will die off around the same time as the mother plant, no matter what you do)
Auto-strain plants are tiny and low-producing
Buds are less potent than regular strains of marijuana
So even though I would like to grow short and bushy cannabis plants, I look for the non-auto strains of cannabis that tends to grow short and bushy.

Loud and clear. Sometime ago I was able to meet a guy from BC. It was incredible-slight pine scent and was wondering f I can create that same type of bud, Blueberry, lemon, Jack Herer etc. Mainly for pain control-suggestions? Thsnk You
