I only have room to grow 3 plants and wanted as much variety as possible so wanted a pure indica, a pure sativa (or close to) and a nice hybrid.
Originally I had decided to grow g13hp as an indica, nl5xhaze for hybrid and kali mist for sativa so that I could experience and provide as much of an indication of what ganj offers in taste, smell and most importantly effect.
Up until i grew snow white I had never had anything but what i figure was an indica dominant shit weed and never realised there were different types of highs and tastes, and am still yet to try a propper sativa.
I am growing for myself and a mate so in the end bag appeal isn't important, but nobody wants to smoke ugly bud any more then they want to eat ugly food - you will if it tastes good and filling, or your starving, but its always better if it looks appetizing as well. And nothing looks more appetizing then purple bud covered in trichs.
Because of reviews I'm pretty locked in on KM and g13hp.
Originally I was going to grow kf next to the km and just got some good advice from sannie about seed selection, growing etc.
When I emailed sannie again and asked about a suitable replacement for nl5xhaze with purps he suggested madonna or kf. I am yet to find a bad word said about him or his genetics so I figured I should give something of his a go just because he was really helpful and seems to be a good guy, gets good reviews, and besides time its not much money to waste - and any grow is good experience.
I already have the nl5xhaze beans. So when I've decided on what my no.3 will be, i'll get a mate to grow the nlh and i'll grow the purps, if the purps ends up shit, i'll take a clone from my mate and go from there.
I am open to suggestion. My requirements are purple or blue, with a nice mix of high and stone, but as non functional as possible. I was also looking at bubba kush from dr greenthumb, snowcap romulan from reserva privada.
I will be popping 3 seeds as soon as my g13 is done.
Although I'm not overly experienced (3 grows, soon 5) most of my problems have been from not having a nutrient meter. I'm not far away from diesel ryder harvest and 3 weeks into flower of g13hp and its been smooth as. Just doing lucas formula which has made over feeding pretty difficult and haven't had to adjust ph once - its getting annoying checking because its always in range.
Send your suggestions through always appreciate strain advice.
I'll probably go for the kf, its just the 'sativa dominant' label thats holding me back, since km is really sativa dominant and don't want to get something which is pretty much the same effects just with colour.
