This is my first suggestion. From reading your post I am pretty sure you are a first time grower. Well, it is hard enough for a newbie grower to finish a crop and get good buds from it. Now you want to throw a curve ball before you even begin. Different strains have different needs. I HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU GROW ONLY ONE STRAIN. And your main concern should only be finding a strain that is easy to grow and very forgiveing. Some strains you can load the Nutrients on HOT AND HEAVY, others you need to be delicute with them. You grow more then one strain, you at least double the chance of failure.

Just my Opinion.

At least you are not telling us you want to grow 150 plants in Hydro your first go around.

I'll be using a DWC system (at least six plants, maybe more) for the vegetative growth and another DWC for the flowering stage. (this is ok, right?)

Now I need to finalize what strands. I say strands because I was thinking about growing maybe two. Reason being so I could mix it up a bit and smoke one when I'm looking to feel what that offers and the other when I'm looking for that. For the longest time I've been stuck on White Widow. And rightfully so, because from what I've read, it's a great tried and true plant that doesn't grow that tall, grows rather quickly, and is fairly easy to maintain. I was going to go with an AK-47 for the other, since they are both roughly the same indica/sativa mix so they would grow and harvest around the same time but I found new strand that is getting rave reviews. And that would be Jock Horror.

From what I've read, it's a crazy cerebral, primarily Sativa plant. Now here's my question. If I wanted to, could I grow White Widow and Jock Horror at the same time, 3 in each system? Or is this not a good idea since the Jock Horror would of course be taller than the Widow, that the light would have to be raised to accommodate the Jock but be too high for the Widow to prosper? Frankly, I don't know what to because I'm not sure if it's advisable to grow an Indica and Sativa plant at the same time in the same enclosure due to the different characteristics of each plant. Any ideas?

Last but not least, if anyone has smoked either White Widow, AK-47, or Jock Horror, PLEASE tell me your opinion of it. The more descriptive the better, such as the smoke was smooth/heavy, it did this to me, it made me want to do this, and so forth.

I'm still torn on what to get so any replies from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
