I need a recommendation from a true connoisseur...

[tenaciousb]

Hi guys and gals! :dance: I'm a brand new member here and am new to growing. I want to start growing very soon, as my 'reliable resources' have become a little less than reliable these days, and I am asking for a good seed recommendation. I know the seedbank sites, so I'm not asking that seemingly same old question, but I want to find a particular strain that will suite me well. I consider myself a medicinal smoker although I dont live in a state that allows marijuana for medicinal use (YEEHAW GEORGIA!). It helps better than anything I've ever taken (I could provide a fairly long list) for my generalized anxiety disorder, irrital bowel syndrome, and insomnia.

So here's what I'm lookin for:

A fairly easy to grow plant that does well indoors (closet). Harvest at about 8wks - 10wks with a decent yield. Although I don't have too many "smell factor" worries to be concerned with, I really dont want something that's too skunky or "weedy" that will smell throughout the whole house. AND a plant that is good for anxiety, creativity (I'm a musician), but doesnt have a stony, brain-dead high...more of a social high. I know all this sounds VERY particular, but I really want to make the right choice...you know how it is when it's your own plant, right? Soooo, any suggestions?

sounds like you want my favorite plant ... I must sound like a broken record, but this seems to be the "perfect plant" : stays about 30" tall, flowers to finish in 8-9 weeks, has a definite UP, visual high, with a good body feel ... it has virtually no odor, just a VERY slight 'lemony aroma', good yield (getting about 5 ounces dried, manicured buds, plus couple ounces of shake per plant), very easy to grow, extremely stable, and will KICK your ass ... what is it ? ... Joey Weed's NL99 ... http://www.hempdepot.ca/seeds/joeywe...derella99.html
Hemp Depot has fast, reliable shipping here to USA, just a great place to do business with ... these seeds run about $45/10seeds, and I recommend the extra fee for FAST shipping ... get an International Money Order at any post office, and you should have your beans in 8-14 days, roundtrip ... hope this helps ... pic of a good one attached ... :smokin:

Thanks for the suggestion! That does sound promising! Your plant looks very delicious! I think I might actually try this one out. I'll keep you posted if I do, so keep your eyes out in the near future for grow progress. I'm a first timer, so I'll def be posting my progress for advice, etc. How's the high? Keep the suggestions coming people...don't be shy!

northern lights all the way

[Zandor]

yup Northern Lights #5 the origional one is what you are looking for.

[roadcam]

I suggested the Northern Lights/Cinderella99 hybrid, since he indicated he wanted more of an 'upper' high, but ya can't go wrong with straight Northern Lights, either ... :smokin:

I've been doing some research online about a BUNCH of different strains, and I really think that Roadcam's suggestion will work best. I like the indica/sativa balance. Pure sativas tend to aggravate my anxiety, whereas hybrids and pure indicas don't. I have a little bit left of an Apollo 11/indica hybrid and I love it....happy uplifting high, but still chills me out and puts me to sleep after a while. I loved watching Weeds with this batch...great show by the way...really inspiring

[roadcam]

if you liked the Apollo/indica hybrid, you'll be very happy with the NL99 ... :smokin:

Hey roadcam, thanks soo much for the suggestion! It sounds like exactly what I'm lookin for! I'm getting gitty already about it. I just sent my order out today and keepin my fingers crossed that I get them in asap! Now I have to do my shopping for supplies. I have my pot and some soil, but that's it for now. Do you have any suggestions as far as lighting, soil, or fert for this strain? I'm only growing one or two in a fairly large closet, but I may be able to do it in my spare bedroom if that's cheaper/easier. Any advice would be much appreciated! I figured I'd ask you since you seem to have good experience with this one. Thanks!
