Cannabis Fact Contributed by: Beaver Tree
Choosing a strain may seem overwhelming at first, but by
answering a few simple questions, you will be able to
narrow down the choices to strains that suit you
best.
1.) Do you plan on growing INDOORS or OUTDOORS?
2.) Do you prefer the characteristics of an INDICA (i.e.
short, compact, and high yielding)? Do you prefer the
characteristics of a SATIVA (i.e. tall, high quality bud,
and lower yielding)? Or would you prefer a mix between
the two (i.e. 50/50 or 60/40 cross)?
3.) What type of stone/ high are you looking for? There
are two basic types: the first is a body stone that
knocks you down and holds you there, which is synonymous
with INDICAS. A second type of stone is a trippy cerebral
high, often associated with SATIVAS.
How potent do you want it?
Different strains have their own unique effects (i.e.
mellow, happy, paranoid, stupefying, clear and thought
provoking, etc, etc&)
4.) What is your price range? How much are you willing to
pay for seeds or clones?
5.) Is yield elevated to you? There are low, medium and
high yielding cannabis plants. Does yield take precedence
over quality?
6.) Is odor or smell a concern? Stealth growing requires
low smelling strains. Some strains smell so strong they
may be a security risk.
Is taste elevated for you? (Some strains have a unique
flavor such as grapefruit, blueberry, etc)
7.) How long do you want to wait to harvest? Some are 6
week cash-croppers, some will take up to 14 weeks to
flower. Many strains take 7-8 weeks.
8.) The last thing you should do when you have a few
strains narrowed down is ask other growers. Find out what
growers have experienced with it, etc.
