Photoperiod strains like Northern Lights give bigger harvests if you can control the light schedule; autoflowers are simpler and faster. Pick an indica-dominant strain for a compact, forgiving plant, buy a 10 seed pack so you have backups, and resist the urge to feed heavily. Finally, choose a strain whose flowering time finishes before your region’s first frost if you are growing outdoors.
