sativa or indica

[Gioj3]

I'm not an expierenced grower but i've grown in the past. i want to grow something diffrent from bag weed, an because i'm going to be buying the seeds i just wanna know what people think is better, sativa or indica or maybe even a mix of both an if so how much percent of which? i wanna know things like, highet, smell, light, yeild etc

 

[nikk]

depends on the type of high you want,sativas like haze or chocolate give you that head high,indica's give you that stoned,eat and go to sleep feelin,choose wisely my dude,and enjoy...peace

try getting a hybrid, if you like head highs get sativa, if you like to be couch locked get indica or if you like tall plant get sativa or short bushy then indica its your pref. i hate sativas now since i been growing one for ever and it takes a long time for sativas to finish flowering, so go with indicas 8-9 weeks, sativa 12-14+ weeks flowering

 

[nikk]

sativa's tend to stretch taller during flower and generally dont yield great amounts,but grown right they will lift that ass to the 9th cloud,indicas are generally shorter than sativas but these days with these hybrids you sometimes might get an indica that stretches tall,but it usually yields good under the right conditions....but the same can be said of sativas

 

[Roseman]

Indicas are ideal for indoor growing, Sativas are a bitch to grow indoors, they get too tall.

Indicas will mature in half the time and flower in 8 to 9 weeks, while Sativas will flower for months and months.

 

[Gioj3]

which generally tends to yields more out of the two?

 

[growone]

many indica/hybrids that produce rather dense bud and yields
i was mulling this question over the last year, smoked many a bag sativa long ago, but wasn't sure how indica was going to be(for my tastes)
my nl#5 grow gave me some pretty nice smoke, harvested with a bit less amber, result is a 'low couch lock', great smoke for the evening to unwind with

It all comes down to your personal preference and has absolutely nothing to do with anything anyone else likes or dislikes.
　
Do you go to a restaurant and ask the people sitting at different tables what you should order?
　
Do you know what you like the most? Is it a soaring clear inspirational motivational head high of a pure sativa? It is the mind numbing, body incapacitating nearly catatonic major-munchie producing stone of a pure indica? Is it a combination of each and if so which would you prefer to be the more dominant or would you prefer an equal mix?
　
Decide for yourself what you and only you like. Then research the different strains and pick the one or ones that best fit your personal likes the most and pay no attention to anything anyone else says they like and therefore suggests unless it comes down to something like two or three different breeder’s versions of the same strain and you want to know specifics on each like height and nodal spacing and production etc.

If you do ask those sorts of questions be sure to include with your question or questions a detailed description of your grow area. Size (width, depth, height, even location can matter as in an attic grow), lighting, air ventilation/circulation, system of growing (soil, hydro, aero), reflective material used, types of fertilizer(s)/nutrients used, cO2 system or no cO2 system and anything and everything else you can possibly think of to add. Only then will you stand a decent chance of receiving information that might actually be of value and assistance to you. If not all you will receive, which is likely what you will still receive the most of, is pure opinion.

　
Other than that decide for yourself.
　
If you are not aware of this site, Seed Finder, follow the link below and you will be able to find information on roughly 1,742 strains produced by 110 different breeders. It is a good source for information and then when you put together a short list you can research further using other sites and methods.

In each post, there is a Post #, and a little blue scale, looking like this:

When someone helps you, advises you or says they like what you posted, you should click those scales in that post, and leave your name and a comment.
Then the receiver of the + REP should return the favor and give you REP back.
It is good manners.

indica FTW!!

sativas have there place and thats outside in the tropics, and subtropics. indicas all the way!!

 

[SativaFan]

based on my name i bet you all could guess that i would recomend a sativa, a great strain in my opinion is arjans haze #2 from greenhouse seeds. grown indoors it doesnt have to be a huge plant and can deliver impressive yields

Thanks for the reply, the story behind me asking that question (if you can be bothered reading). I was at my friends place and he brought out this 8th baggie that smelled so sweet and he got it for £15 (roughly $24) and it was slightly over weight, it was 3.9g. An i smoked it and we were sat playing mario kart for 5 hours. Now weed i normally get is shit smelling, underweight, and about £25. His had beat mine on ALL points so i had to ask how he got it, an he told me he got it off a home grower at his work. An thats what got me thinking, maybe i should try growing it myself because i can't keep going out of pocket for this snicklefritz, when with time, patience and guidance from a marijuana growing forum i could grow weed that i could guarantee would be better than what i get now.

Anyway, since asking the question, i've cleared out my attic and i got plenty of space. I also spoke to my friends dealer (the grower from the story), an he let me buy an old light from him for £20 buck because he don't use it, its 250 watt CFL, which i thought was a bargain. He also gave me some white widow and purple power cross Seeds because he unintentionally crossed them. So i reckons i will start a grow journal sometime soon. But after i purchase some more items.

In summary i got:
(space isn't an issue)

250 watt Cfl.

Plant Pots in diffrent sizes all the way up to 8".

Levinton Tomorite.

Tree of life - Super Bloom Boost.

I also have Miracle-Gro but i read up and apparently thats to hot for marijuana.

An i Got lots of Peat Free Multipurpose Compost.

Any comments (positive or negative wouldn't go a miss)

Set up a journal and link us too it once you get started, i'd love to see how it turns out

 

[RichED]

you see i like em both for different times of day for different events for dif moods one to wake up to one to go to sleep with

i have a grow tent split in half 2 250w setups just finished trim on 3 serious seeds Kali mist almost finished a bluberry and a snow white

I even like some heavy meds dankness my tent is almost empty i think im gona start some elite genetics gear sure gona miss him

you have to decide if you have tiny space with just small space could be creative like me grow both

with stivas iether start 12/12 from seed or flower at 8 to 12 inches my first atempt i flowered at 22 inches mistake the stretch got away from me i had to throw a scrog screen in at 4 1/2 feet people normally scrog at about 15 inches it worked
