So a while ago I had to shut down my grow (life just got a bit crazy and I just didn't have the time really to keep it going). But now things have chilled out a bit and so I'm starting it back up again, I'm probably going to run my grow in coco with canna coco A/B nutrients just because I know them and my local grow shop stocks it all (the only other option I'm tempted by would be biobizz because yeah my local grow shop also stocks their nutes, they have a bunch of other brands but most are either stupid expensive or obscure enough that I can't find much info on them). If anyone has any suggestions for nutes though I'd love to hear them, the only things I am solidly sticking to with this grow are that I'm growing in coco and that I have to grow in cabs for stealth reasons but otherwise I'm open to ideas on any part of the process.
There are a couple decisions I have to make relatively soon though to get it all going again but first and foremost I need to pick a strain and also (although much less interesting) pick some lights for veg because my old 250W CFL broke at the end of the last cycle I ran. At the moment the strains I'm looking at are:
Blue Dream (Humboldt Seed Organisation)
Jack Herer (Sensi seeds or Greenhouse seeds)
Super Skunk (Sensi Seeds)
Jillybean (TGA Genetics)
Honestly the traits I'm looking for are preferably a more sativa dominant strain with relatively short flower period for a sativa (i.e. 7-8 weeks rather than 10+). I'm not the biggest fan of weed that gives you ridiculous levels of couch lock like I prefer getting baked and doing shit than getting baked and becoming a couch potato but still I'm easily open to suggestions for strains. I'd also prefer to have feminised seed because I'd imagine I'll only be running this set up once (I've got a time frame of about 8/9 months where I'll be able to run it before I have to move again) and so I'd appreciate not having to deal with males, although that being said I would consider normal seeds if I thought the bud would be that much better and/or the traits of it for growing were good for my set up.
With the veg light I'm mainly looking at basic CFL's vs fluorescent tubes, the basic cfl's are obviously cheaper because I already have a reflector and stuff for it it's just that I feel like i'll get much more even coverage with the fluorescent tubes, if anyone has any info on which style of bulb generally gets hotter that'd also be helpful because yeah growing in cabs can get hot af at times lol. If anyone knows of cheap good LEDs i'd also be interested in that but last I heard short of making them yourself it's not easy to get good cheap LEDs.
Anyway if anyone has any ideas or thoughts they would care to share I'd appreciate it!
--TLDR--
I'm starting up growing again and need suggestions for strains and veg lights plus whatever other tips/ideas anyone might have about growing in coco in cabinets.
