Any strain will grow in good soil mixes of many kinds. Mine just adds some bone meal, blood meal and perlite to good potting soil. For indoor growers I recommend plants leaning toward the indica side with shorter flowering times. Sativa's often tend to get to tall indoors and to be more prone to heat stress. Some however do flower quickly as well so many sativa/indica combination strains work well. What people grow should be decided more by what they like to grow and smoke. Ease of growing and yields are a factor but taste and potency are the main factors when just growing for your own needs rather than commercially. So there are many factors to consider when purchasing seeds. There are many fine companies and distributors. There is much info in the internet about results from many strains so do the research. Have fun! BOG
