Hey hey everyone 
So, my girlfriend and I finally got our own place, and after months of planning, I have invested in what I hope to be a proper growing set-up.
However, before I go into that, I first want to find the exact strains that I should grow. We have decided that our grow area is suitable for 4 plants, although we would prefer no more than 3 strains.
Here is what we are looking for:
My girlfriend has bi-polar disorder and depression. She loves sativas and cerebral, euphoric type weeds. Her favorite strain is TrainWreck.
I have pretty bad anxiety and ADD, both of which contribute heavily to insomnia. I also enjoy sativas and other fantastic daytime smokes, something that is buzzy on the body but clear headed and calm. My favorite strain is probably the Lambsbread that I got from a dispensary.
So, as for growing, I would ideally like short to medium height plants. Yield is not an issue, as it will be for personal and not commercial use. I have been growing peppers for 12 years but this is my first attempt at growing cannabis. However, I feel that I have enough experience to take on intermediate strains (those that require slightly more attention to pH, nutrient intake, etc). Currently I own one 250 wt HPS and one 400 wt HPS light. I plan to use an organic soiless-mix supplemented with tried-and-true organic nutrients, such as worm castings, blood+bone meal, etc.
So, what 3 strains would you recommend for us to attempt? So far we are considering:
Mandala Satori
Mandala Hashberry
DNA Sharksbreath
Sagarmatha Strawberry D-Lite
AF Afghan Kush Ryder (Gf wants to grow it herself)
What other strains fit our parameters? Any help or advice is appreciated!
PS: Is it worth going with more expensive strains (Soma Lavender, DJ Shorts Vanniluna, etc) for a first-time grow?

But yeah, no matter what you read, White Satin doesn't help with it at all. In fact, my anxiety has gotten worse over the past couple months and I've been smoking more of it. 
go figure!
