I've spent quite a number of hours finding good breeders, and what seem to be good strain choices. The list below is from what seems through my research, to be established seed breeders. I might have missed some though
Ideally I would grow 4 plants (1 super high thc, 1 high thc, 1 medium/with high cbd, 1 high cbd) to have a broad spectrum to help me medically. However, I might only be able to grow two at a time because of space, and the differing grow heights of the strains. In this case i will probably start with a super high or very high thc, and a medium/low thc high cbd - to get the best of both. I'm growing indoors - ideally a smallish grow, 70cmx100cm or so.
I have chronic ongoing pain, I also have depression and anxiety and am trying to treat these with herb. I knew someone many years ago who grew some at home in soil, and it was so amazing that it got rid of my aches etc, and he said it was very doable to grow your own at home.
I am predominantly auto flowers here as I am new to this and the recommendations seem to be to start with auto.
So here is the list!
Brand Strain AF THC Prize Yield Harvest height
Dutch Passion Auto Blackberry Kush Yes V High Yes XL seed to cut 10 weeks 75-100cm

*note* I made this in excel and spent so long searching through things, it looks a bit weird above, hopefully it is clear enough, I've tried to get it to look clearer on here but it won't!
I really have tried to put some thought in to this list and write up some notes.
For me the ones that stand out are:
Extra High THC
Dutch Passion Auto lemon Kix - it says it is easier to grow, with a big yield (but might be too tall for 1.6-1.8m box?)
RQS - Hulkberry auto - seems interesting too
High THC
Dutch Passion - Auto Night queen - seems very popular
Dutch Passion - Bubba Island Kush
Medium THC
Dutch Passion - CBD Skunk Haze - high cbd
Dutch Passion - Auto Blueberry (I have heard blueberry is epic and I am yet to try it)
RQS - Euphoria - high yield - high cbd
HSO - Blue Dream Auto - have heard blue dream is very nice
Low THC/High CBD
RQS - Tatanka Pure - relaxing high cbd
HSO - Blue Dream CBD - Very high yield and very high cbd and decent thc
I read that Dutch Passion Shaman is awesome, but might be a bit of a fight to make it fit, it is also not auto, so would have to be a future grow.
What ones would you pick? Are there any you would recommend?
If you're looking for a specific CBD ratio, you'll want to grow photoperiod strains so you can clone them and keep growing them once you've found what you're looking for. For example, I've got a cut of Star Tonic that tests around 15% CBD, 9% THC. It's nice relaxing smoke, so I've kept it around for the past 5 years. You can't do that with autos.
Keeping it simple is wise for your first grow, although simplicity is often derived from a complex diversity. The more you can read up on ahead of time, the easier your grow will be.
I have no experience with those breeders, so my recommendation wouldn't mean much. I'd just pick one that appeals to you and get to growing. Lately I've been ordering Bodhi seeds from Great Lakes Genetics. I bought two packs for $70 each, got two freebie packs, and an additional 28 free seeds from their in house breeder, Bad Dawg genetics. One of them is a GSC cross, and I've also seen some Atonic crosses, which would have a mix of THC and CBD phenos.
It helps to have someone who knows what they're doing who can show you how to grow. This way you can copy their technique and have successful grows until you're experienced enough to develop your own.
As far as lighting goes, don't buy the cheap blurple LEDs from amazon. Look into Quantum Boards from HLG (US), Invisible Sun (UK) or Grow Lights Australia. You could also go with spiderfarmer or mars hydro, but the first three options would be better. A strip build is another option if you can DIY.
Probably the most important decision you'll have to make is whether you want to grow organically or hydroponically. I grow organically, but I've heard coco DTW is easy.
How did you test yours for terps? Is it easy to do this at home?
I didn't test it, I bought a tested clone. At home there is a method for testing for CBD with NaOH, and you can test for different cannabinoids with thin layer chromatography, but lab testing is best for terpene or cannabinoid content analysis.
Auto are nice insofar that you can give them 18 hours of light for their complete life span and not have to worry about light leaks. Autos also finish quicker then normal or feminized strains. The aforementioned fact by yoosername that you can't keep any clones is the major drawback. None the less Auto are a great way to start and will have the least issues.
I would choose the Auto blueberry or the Auto Blackberry Kush by DP.
