What Would You Grow?

I would just put them all in a hat and leave it to the luck of the draw

That might solve my problem, since I keep changing my mind!

lol ya lookin at your list, i couldnt make my mind up either. bubblelicious is in the lineup for my next grow though

I wanted to try Mekong High for some time now...i hear it has a very intense sativa high...

short stuff mi5 definitely and i'd definitely try the kannabia domina. the dutch passion blueberry for a relaxing smoke that is also good for pain relief. i would pick bubblegummer for my anytime smoke, sweet taste and functional buzz.

Spoken like someone who has no clue how to grow! THIS IS THE WORSE ADVICE ANYONE COULD ASK YOU TO FOLLOW. DO NOT FOLLOW THAT ADVICE!

Why?

All those seeds you listed are different. Indicas that grow short, sativas that grow tall. Some strains you have finish in 8 weeks, some in 11. If you start mixing and matching, you'll have a wildly uneven canopy, different nutrient requirements at different times (which means you either underfeed some or overfeed some) and both of those two factors will HUGELY impact your yield. Plants need to be close to the lights, but if you have different sized ones, it makes it harder. Sativas will grow very tall and lengthy, whereas Indicas will be short and stocky -- for the most part.

Here's my advice:

Start/Run/Excel

Drop in the names of the seeds you have to Column A. Make Column B indicate their flowering period (8, 9, 10, or 11) and then Column C Indica or Sativa.

Plant the seeds that have traits that resemble the other seeds you are planting.

Then you'll get an even-er canopy, correct nutrient dosing, and a much better harvest and final yield and final product.

Good luck...........

For this post, I simply listed the strains, but my personal list has flowering time, genetics, height, whether it's indica, sativa, hybrid, etc. I am still working on finding out about individual nute requirements. That info is much harder to find. The drop in the hat idea isn't serious, I don't think!

Yep, for individual nutrient requirements, they should be mostly the same. For the first time growing a strain you can just run 80% strength and if they seem to not get any nutrient burn, kick em up to 100% strength nutrients. You would follow an 8 week nutrient feed schedule for 8 week flower plants, 9 for 9 week, 10 for 10 week, etc.... Your nutrient manufacturer should have a chart for you based upon your flowering length. Usually they are on their websites.

NEVER follow instructions on a bottle. They are always generalized for growing whatever. Follow the flowering formulas for the best results.

Good luck!
