    Default Strain for beginner ?

    Hi all so im a new grower first timer ,
    Ive gone for Afghan x skunk 27 days into flower and things are 50/50 getting problems but dealing with them best i can with advice from this fabulous forum.
    So has title says strain for beginners what strain of plant would soil grows recommended for first time growing.
    Has some strains are more tolerant to mistakes made by first time growers.
    Im going to concentrate on Afghan skunk and northern lights has ive read there good starter plants .
    So im just curious about which plants more experienced grows would recommend for beginners.
    Looking forward to some answers on this question ??????

    I to am a first timer. I picked AK Auto from FastBuds as they are said to be great for a newbie but I've had lots of issues. One started growing downwards and I lost it. The 2nd looks awful and very slow growing.
    I also started a Blackberry Auto fr FastBuds and that has been great so far and gonna be an early finisher. My point is, don't be fooled by what the packet says, I believe it's more dependant on your set up. Trial and error!

    Id do a photoperiod first
    Ive grown 4 barneys farms LSD seeds the past year, and theres very big room for errors with this strain i reckon, i got 3 phenos so far and all are super resilient, evergreen with different level of feeds.. 0.9 to 1.2 ec in coco seems they like it without any major deficiency or burn... Very good high very good smell and taste, as well growth structure i really enjoy growing n smokin this strain

    All the best man

    Hi yes im leaning towards agreement there has ive had and still am having my problems ???.
    Ive go 30 days ish to the end of flower my plants wouldn't win a beauty competition lol but they are buds growing.
    I keep a careful eye on my setup but but i think 50 percent of this hobby is down to the plant . Sometimes we will pull a good grow and other times we will struggle ??.
    Hopefully i will complete this grow and im planning a northern lights grow ????
    Please keep the answer coming

    Grow a Northern Lights photoperiod plant. They're very easy and tolerate a lot of issues

    What grow kit do you use? Tent, or cupboard?

    What carbon filiter do you have?

    What kind of lamp?

    What size is your grow space?

    Always remember the Rule of Six Ls: No Smell, No Tell, No Sell.

    In other words you keep your security tight so no one can smell it, you don't tell ANYONE about it. and most certainly do you not supply to anyone.

    Have a look in the Library section for grow books.

    Good Luck.
    One Love, and Mon The Talk!
    The Six L Rule: No Smell, No Tell, No Sell,
    And mind those deci-BELS

    May we all cross the line safe and sound, time after time, everytime.
