True that. Next Generation and Dr. Greenthumb have some of the best seeds.
Romulan Haze sounds amazing since their romulan is mostly indica while the legendary original is actually supposed to be a squatty sativa. Things like this perplex me. But its all internet and legend since the topic is so taboo.

idk yet man theres so many i think ill just have to try a little bit of everything just keep healty mothers of the ones i like the best all of yall have given me such a wide and good selection along with the 6 ive shared now the big question again is about how many plants am i looking out for a veg room + 2 flowering rooms how many per flower room will reach my goal of 2 lbs and ive scrapped my dwc grow idea and im just going to keep it a simple dirt grow the way they were ment to grow might have a small set up of aeroponics for cloner and if that goes well then just use that system because i heard that was high yield low cost and most efficient next to soil

Well, I used to consider the golden triangle of dependable variables to be Lights, Nutrients, and Carbon Dioxide. But, now I don't give a shit about C02 and doing the diy "sugar+yeast" bit attracts ants and bugs.
If you just want to do pots and soil. I suggest fabric pots, they are so good I don't know why they keep making pots out of plastic.
Also if you were going to use soil, don't and use soiless. That could mean many things. I've seen Hempy buckets getting extra popular, but its nothing but perlite and vermiculite.... That is not something I'm interested in growing with.
I recommend getting some dank ass organic coco. It's just like using soil, but there aren't any other nutrients in it to worry about. So the only nutrients your plant will be receiving, come from you and not randomly time released from the soil. You have to get some of the good stuff, although I have personally grown some monster sunflowers in lizard grade coco, but I don't recommend using it because I think it contains too many salts. It doesn't matter, because cocotek bricks(not blocks) are only 2.50, less than half of the price of lizard coco at the petstore.
Also since you are starting out. I have to suggest this. It's the simplest nutrient line I can find. It's a one part line. Which means there is only one thing to add to your water jug to make a nutrient solution. It's pretty damn simple. Although its new, so marketing is really weird about it. How i see it, is that its sorta of more like a two part. Only use ONENESS during vegging, then drop it halfway through flowering and use only GINORMOUS. It's like its only one part of veg and only one part for flowering. Anyways, I really like GINORMOUS. It's a bloom fert that doesn't have any nitrogen in it. So when you go into hard flowering you can use only GINORMOUS and have all nitrogen cut out without having to try some sort of ph lockout trick.

1. Cocotek Coco (5kg=$11.00)
2. Roots Organic Fabric Pots (5gal=$4.00)
3. Oneness (16oz.=$40.00)
4. Ginormous (16oz.=$16.00)
Ok, and here is some math. Assuming you would make a gallon of nutrient solution a week to feed one plant. Likely you would be using a gallon of feed per like four plants for the first month. Likely you would cut the nutrient strength in half. Likely you would want to drop ONENESS during hard flowering and just stick to the GINORMOUS. But aside from that. Suppose you did make one gallon of solution per plant per week and followed the directions of "Feed, Rest, Water, Rest, Repeat". A 16oz or 473 ml bottle of Oneness could get you through 9 plants(50ml per plant according to the chart). While 37ml per plant of Ginormous is required, making a 473ml bottle last for upwards of 12plants.
Now all you need is a light. I'm trying to get some input on these UFO's, but nobody is biting.

I've of course done searches and there are a lot of threads with good examples of the quality these can produce. I just want some feedback on brand quality. See what those who are loyal to the brand say so that I can be persuaded.

Wow that was alot to take in at once but thanks for all your help purple youve given me alot more idea for my grow.
Now do you think i could obtain 2 lb from 4 plants thats 8 oz a plant idk is that obtainable or should i add in 2 more plants
to even out my numbers to about 5 or 6 oz per plant hight is no longer an issue im willing to do anything to obtain my goal

anything is possible just how much of a green thumb matters!!!!!!!https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/281949-42-pounds-10-indoor-trees.html<------------------- link

My Inspiration. Lorne, whoever you are, thank you.
What will matter most, is skill & technique. Or as puffntuff put it, your greenthumbs.
Using amazing techniques like topping or fimming, or even just bending the plant ever so gently will increase the yield x-fold.
What's amazing about the coco, is that it is a natural habitat for beneficial fungi. Specifically the Trichoderma. That shit makes roots look like they have roots. And for your plants, It's like having someone to pre-chew your food for you. I know that sounds hard to swallow, but it actually makes that easier for them. lol so lame.
Honestly now. If you were to grow say a "bagseed", properly crop and feed it, it will be the best weed you have ever smoked. Ever. Mainly because a part of you goes into making that sweet dank. There isn't much in this world as gratifying. Quality will mostly come from what you feed it anyways.
The landraces that come from mexico in bricky-seedy form actually have to potential to be some pretty damn potent kine bud. They just have to be kept away from male sacks, to prevent thc production from being lost on seed production.
Yield is mostly influenced by the amount of nodes anyways. Sure a sativa will be much skinnier buds.... that's the genetic influence on yield. But regardless, by increasing the branching you are increasing the amount of bud-sites.

I thought I dropped another link on you about techniques. https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?p=2214345#post2214345
Take a look at it. Particularly, "Monster Cropping" and "Low Stress Training"
And also not to say you only need one to two plants, but I'm pretty sure each of those white widows pictured above are 1lb each. If not 2lbs each. It is hard to remember, I just came across that thread one day along time ago.

Youre welcome bro. Just remember the rules. 1. Never talk about it, 2. Never talk about it, .....
This is the only anonymous place for me to talk about this type of shit I'm passionate about. It's depressing. I'm so fucking good at growing!!! Life has just been throwing me too many obstacles, it is upsetting. I'm growing different mints, just to get my grow fix. I feel like I give more abortions than a planned parenthood. Best of luck to you my friend. Best of luck.

Well, if you decide to grow White Widow you probably won't have to smoke as much to maintain your high. And it'll be a WAY better high. An alcoholic who drinks 80proof liquor all day would have to drink how many beers a day to maintain his, uh, momentum? A LOT of beers! 28 blunts of mids is not the same as 28 blunts of really, really awesome weed.

you really fucking inspire me dude ive almost got life set for me because ive achieved it doing something i love and was taught
you should really conceder becoming a medical grower in a legal state you would be able to have so much and the intellect you have about this subject would make you a great botanist i love plants i have many different philosophies about them but i guess most marijuana users do but i dont just specifically mean that one plant i mean all of them you've opened my eye to new things about people and how passionate they are about this i wish i could learn and know as much as you now off all the sensitive shit lol
