last questions first.. sativas give that soaring, clear headed, motivational high while indica's are the opposite.. they are more of a stoned feeling that people like to refer to as couchlock, you know when you smoke bud and don't feel like moving an inch for hours on end?? that's indica..
the differences in growing the two is even bigger.. indica's tend to stay shorter, with wider, broader leaves, while sativa's will want to grow super tall and lanky, with longer, thinner leaves..
for your space, i'd recommend staying with an indica dominant strain... you said that you like bubble gum, and i see that mosca negro have just released an indiana bubble gum that has my eye for sure. looks to be a really nice strain imo..
i've also grown mk ultra from th seeds, it's a kush cross, and was some really nice smoke... shit, i'm not sure if the bg strain comes in fems now i think about it though..

you could also look into some training methods like lst, where you tie your plants down to keep them short, this will allow you to grow a bigger sized plant in the same area, and ime, lst'ed plants tend to yield slightly more than a plant that hasn't been lst'ed..
 
Like racerboy said, indica is more of a couch lock high, assuming you don't harvest early. I prefer an indica/sativa mix but with your space I would go with 100 pct indica. I grew confidential cheese by reserva privada and that was some of the best smoke Ive had. Turned purple in the last two weeks and were very dense solid nugs that tasted and smelled amazing. Also, the confidential cheese only got about 3 and a half feet at the tallest one and the shortest one being about 2 feet. This was with a veg of 3 and a half weeks and 1000 watt hps so I am sure with the right training method, probably topping or lst, or both :hump:, you could make this strain work. Highly recommended.:hug:Takes well to training and reacts very well when topped or "fimmed". Mine ended up with about 10 to 16 main tops on each that were perfectly spaced out. Good luck and let us know what you decide.

Right now me and my bro have Reserva Privadas Og Kush #18 goin thats on day 67 of flower. 75 days of 12/12 all together. They stretch like crazy but producing really big nugs. But we only get to see these about once every 7 days because we dont like to go there often so I dont have any very recent pictures downloaded to my computer. I am trying to get some up soon on one of my other threads. Sorry kind of off topic but I guess it could help you because you def dont want to pick og #18 because it stretches way too much for small space. I just took 2 bong hits off my new roor with my fresh, half way cured auto flower blue widow. I forget the breeder, maybe royal queen, but it was a freebie that came with my og 18 order and was ready 2 weeks ago. very frosty nugs and very sweet taste. Smells awesome after leaving the lid on the jar all day long and when I take it off to let it air out it just smells perfect.:joint:

I don't think you can find one other than dwarf that you can count on staying under 3 ft. I grow Northern Lights, and often see it get close to 4, and it is among the shortest.

^false.

you could get any strain you like to stay within your range. it will just depend on what you get, how you have to grow it.

sativas you would barely veg at all, if not just 12/12 from seed. whereas indicas you would veg to about 1-1.5 ft then flower.
