Should I grow more than one strain at the same time?

thatreedocta · Feb 4, 2013

For my next grow I want to do northern lights, master kush and white widow. Do you think ill have any issues? I know they all finish in 8 weeks but don't know about things like if one strain prefers particular ph or if one strain grows a lot taller than the other two messing up my canopy (doing sea of green).

If your up for it, go for it! Just put into consideration that each strain is different, so at one point one plant might be able to take on lets say 800ppm but another may only take 600. Just an example, just keep a close on all of em and you should be fine. I wouldn't worry about the Northern lights and Widow as much though, those strains seem to be quite resilient.

I always use different strains. I top the shit out of the sativa dominant strains to try to keep the canopy even with my indica's. Never really had a problem with doing it this way.

Variety's the spice of life. Good luck with your grow.

It is nice to have a variety in jars!

Turm had a good point about different strains/different nuke levels.

For NL & WW, they have a similar flower period and similar height, so this should work out well. They will offer a different taste and effect.
You may need to be more cautious when you start mixing different strains, with different photo periods & heights. I have struggled to keep an even canopy in a small grow box with different strains. Plus I harvest one, the other is not done, now I am only using half my space....

White widow and NL same flower times? Every WW i've ever run was at least 10 to 12 wks.

Have fun and enjoy the grow even more by having diversity .. I always run 15-25 different girls at a time ... Just call me a strain whore lol ..
