Thanks very much for all your suggestions.
Think i'm gonna go for the chronic from serious seeds, £60 for 10 beans seems about right to me. Had a look at a few diaries and stuff on here and it sounds pretty good stuff.
Is there anything i should watch out for with it or is it a bullet proof grow?
Good choice
These are
very forgiving plants (not that you'll need to be forgiven

) and they reward you with huge stonkin buds

just don't top them unless totally necessary...
You should get two phenotypes...
no.1: is a stretchy sat dominant (?) 10/11 weeker which yields big but I much prefer the...
no.2: which is a short stocky dense indica dominant which also yields big but alot sooner and in less space...
I know that in hydro they respond well to a light feeding schedule but you're in compo so don't worry about that...
clones take a little longer than most to show roots, but they do show roots which is the important bit so no worries, just take em a week earlier than most...
when it comes to drying you need to take good care; try and get them to dry over two weeks (if possible @ 18oC 40% humidity) and then
(very important) cure in an airtight jar for
at least a week.
make sure you take cuttings from each plant so you can make a mother from the best
If you need any specific advice then you can ask simon / claude at the s.s. forum, it's their plant after all and they are very helpful
