i could do clones off some mother plant only reason i was thinking about shopping for genetics is the control of seed to flower. with clones i may not be able to get the 12 i need that take to where that might not be a variable. IDK not saying clones wouldnt work. But from a perspective of control. I thought about doing autos. But then i wasnt sure how that would be for measuring. but thought autos could be a great way to just test the light themselves. I was looking at a sample 6 pack and thought about ordering 3 of the same so i have enough to do 2 of each in each tent. I figure then it adds some variable of more than 1 strain possibly. i have beans just not 12 of any single one. but most my beans are for outdoors.Congrats! Feels good to finally pull the trigger I bet. How many red diodes vs white diodes on the board?
Are you shopping seedbanks/genetics?
Don't have clones as an option? (just asking for experiment variable control value)

I mean im not sure id be able to take 12 clones at one time off a single mother. I could definitely grow one out i already have started for that purpose. I can only do 6 and 6 for legal limits. I mean i could do the clones and abort whatever doesnt take im sure. I actually have some random strains that were freebies i think may be indoors i could sprout for that exact purpose. i can only have a final of 6 and 6 growing in each tent. So we will see how much we can fill it out.The main issue I see, experiment wise, is even from the same strain different seeds will perform way different.
I worry 6 mystery autos may no branch enough to make a 4x8 canopy before they mature.
What do you mean you can't take 12 clones? Why? It would be fine if they were taken 6 at a time 3 times over a week to get 18.
Or you could grow a clone now into a mother which can donate the needed 12-18 cuttings.
Or get 1-3 beans, grow it to mother, and take 12-18 cuttings from that. That way you get a hand-selected strain and make sure all plants are genetically identical.
assuming people dont consider the time to clone and transplant as not part of the time interval of the test and we track each plants growth. I see no reason why it couldnt work.
Even if among the 12 rooted clones there is some variation in size and vigour, just average it. Half the best and half the worst go in each tent.

Right now i have to choose from i could mother for this purpose.
Blow dream(although i mixed it up with an auto so no idea which is the auto and the blow dream so im not trying to trim them til the auto shows itself) Victory Seeds
Orka (Blimburn seeds)
High level (eva seeds)
Monster (eva seeds)
Power Russian (Kalashnikov seeds)
big bud xxl(or xL?) (ministry of cannabis)
candy furious candy (eva seeds)
Given the delay it will be for lights i have plenty of time to get clones ready.
ive never had much luck with high level indoor orka different story.Most of those strains sound great for this purpose. I suppose you consider them outdoor because of their Sativa dominance. But with you wanting to stretch 6 plants across 4x8 space, having a stretchy Sativa would be ideal for yields in this space.
My top pick would be High Level or Orka. I think the Haze lineage in both is exactly what you need. I grow NL#5xHaze. Lemon Skunk sounds a bit better than White Widow as the cross parent. Fatter tastier buds imo.
Timber has some nice cobs. They didn't get phased out the Chinese just started tossing out boards with Samsung diodes and drivers that rival HLG for much cheaper.So here is a question. Did Cobs get phased out? I don't follow LED stuff too much just curious. Member that's what everyone was using. Just curious?

i like the idea of the strips and did fully consider that as my option. But figured id test whats most popular. At that rate id just be building custom lighting. if i was going custom id go with strips and side lighting and bud booster boards, with cobs in there for penetration and the lot.Timber still sells new cob lamps. They said better penetration and dropped the boards last year.
But the efficiency of the new samsung diodes is higher and cost to build lower.
But while everyone is buying boards the highest efficiency and yield is now coming from samsung strips set up like the new gavita led.
Im liking the strips as they can be 6” to a foot from the canopy. Perfect for my low ceilings.
Now the wait for strips to become cheaper and so last year. Lol
Yes the gavita strips are the gold standard in terms of led right now. I think we may see a swing back to more boards and less wattage as coverage becomes the weak side to QBs right now.

you withheld the gold standard from me while i asked what was the best... I have no words....Yes the gavita strips are the gold standard in terms of led right now.

Hehe I did bro but not for any other reason than not wanting to see you mortgage your house to buy them.you withheld the gold standard from me while i asked what was the best... I have no words....
