Best strain for first time indoor grow- 250w hps

I have an outdoor guerilla grow going already but I'm thinking about starting my first indoor. What would be the best overall strain for a first time indoor grow. Something average price, average difficulty, average yield, average potency, average flowering period, etc. Low odor would be good too but isn't a must.

I have a 250w HPS and plenty of room. This is a little unexpected but a friend of mine gave me an awesome deal on the light so I want to start and indoor grow too. I know a little about indoor growing since I start my plants indoors for about 3-4 week before I move them outside, just don't know too much about indoor strains.

I ordered my outdoors from Attitude, but thinking about mixing it up and getting from Nirvana this time. I narrowed it down to 3 strains:

Northern Lights
Bubblicious
White Widow

Probably going to grow all 5 out of a feminized pack.

Any suggestions outside of these 3 strains would be cool too!

All three of those strains are fire but I wouldnt say that there the lesser complicated strain to grow or big yielders. Look into purple kush. If you get the real deal PK it stays short and yields like a mother fucker and its hard to fuck it up. also it is an 8 week strain thats all I grow. I would only grow 2 plants under a 250 watt

Where do you get that at? Does Attitude carry it?

I have limited experience with quality genetics, but I've heard MANY times on this site that Northern Lights is a VERY easy strain to grow. I myself have some white widow seeds from Green House, but I'm sitting on those for a while until I grow out my Lemon Skunk. :hump:

Really I was thinking 4-5 plants would probably be ok under the 250w, but now that I did a little research I think I will take your advice and only grow 2.

I have a single low girl autoflower I've been meaning to try out. Maybe I'll do 2 regular plants and sneak the low girl in with it. That way I'll have some bud sooner. Does that sound reasonable? I read they say a good rule of thumb is 100w per plant.

Nice! Do you have a ballast that can take both the hps and mh bulb? I see they make mh conversion bulbs for hps ballasts but they are like $50. I'd probably spring for one if it makes that much of a difference during veg.

I just finished Nirvana Northern Light under a 250w agrosun gold. It grew in a 2.5 litre pot with Fox Farm Ocean Forest and BC nutes. It is in the jar curing now and I keep taking samples and it is delicious and gets me toasted. I have been smoking Short Rider which was ok but the Northern Light blows it away.

How many northern lights plants did you grow under your 250w? Just one?

Man I keep hearing about these FoxFarm products. I'd like to try the soil but there isn't anyone around here that sells it. I see it online for $10 a bag but the shipping is an extra $20! Maybe I'll try the nutes, but even they are expensive.

Any suggestions? Northern Lights is a classic and hear the Nirvana strain is pretty good, but Bubblelicious and White Widow are tempting. Hear Ice is pretty good too.
