You talking auto strains or regular photo periods? For autos I have no picks, I used to grow them exclusively when I first started out but have not touched one in a couple years. I can run quick finishing Indicas from clone and match the speed of autos and beat them in potency and the fact that I get to hang on to the strains via clones and mom plant.
Regular strains I would agree with Short...Satori is supposed to be the bomb if you like up energetic creative highs. I have a ten pack waiting to be up next but I don't think I have enough time to run them before I shut down for the Summer. Larry OG is still my favorite overall strain. Great yields, great narcotic high and she is easy to trim. Downsides are 70 days flowering and she needs to be kept in line through lst and topping or she will grow like a bean pole. Jmo
