Help me select what cultivars to run

Wyodub · Oct 11, 2024

I am about to start my 6th run. Growing in 5x5 under KindLED X750. 4-30gal fabric pot in living soil. I've been acquiring seeds and need help selecting which ones to run. They're all feminized and some vary in size or length of flower. I will likely run 2 seeds per pot to maximize variety and flip to flower sooner, hopefully. I'll manage canopy the best I can and not too worried about different heights or length of flower. I do have a separate drying tent. Trying to decide if I mix and match some flavors or maybe try running two seeds per pot from same cultivar to see some variation in that specific cultivar just for fun. No wrong answers, just looking for some opinions to bounce off of

Wes-Slo- Top Dawg Sour BC4 x Piff Coast Sour F2
Wes-Slo- Alderpoint Sour F1 #4 x (2x) Sour Bubble
Katsu Seeds- Pre98 Bubba Kush S1
Solfire- Yacht Party
Elev8- Nerds Rope S1
Elev8- Kongzilla
ICan- Banoffee Pie Head

I don't know the breeders. That matters more than anything, the crosses all vary from breeder to breeder

I don't know the breeders, so I'm no help there, but I wouldn't put multiple seeds in a pot. Nor would I mix cultivars in a tent. The more different your plants are, the harder it is to give any of them what they need.

I understand it is not ideal. But my main priority besides having quality flower is having multiple flavors for the head stash. I'm willing to take on the challenges of mixing and matching to achieve variety

Never heard of those.

Yea but I have the same "strain" from the same company and have had totally different phenos one short one tall or whatever. So depending on the breeder I guess

Yep. Seeds introduce variation. Seeds from different cultivars introduce more variation.

They have so many strains these days, it's almost laughable. I too have never heard of the strains you've posted.

If you're not going to buy anymore seeds, then just choose what you want out of the seeds you have. Go with what you know.

Eventually I want 1/4 lb of 8 strains for stash. Hopefully that will be at the end of next year.

I'm an old school hippy and I can recommend some strains from way back if you want. I'd be happy to help.

All the best

1 of each. Just kidding. I would run one strain at a time. That way they will stretch and mature at the same time. Way easier when everything is ready at once.

I am open to some old school strains. I am growing from seed so I'm chasing those old school strains that have been worked and stabilized to get some what consistent results that would represent that strain well. I will forever be chasing skunk and some of those older strains. If you know of a breeder that checks those boxes please educate me

During the mid 70's, pot went from $10 lids/cans in the roll up baggies with a flap, to zip lock baggies and a new price of $15. Michoacan, Guerrero Gold and Oaxacan* were the new norm'. When that lot disappeared Colombian Red and Gold came on the scene. Thai Stick came and went after that followed by Sensemilla and Skunk. Panama Red was around, but unfortunately, I never smoked any.

* Out of the above mentioned strains, Oaxacan is the stand out strain that myself and friends down in Houston TX, absolutely coveted.
It has the most amazing sweet peppery flavour and gives a wonderful brain tickling buzz. I was able to get some Oaxacan seeds a couple of months ago, and when I informed my pals in TX that I had some, well...let's just say that they're very excited about tasting Oaxacan again. It's been 45 yrs since the last joint we smoked.

Whether the seeds are the real deal or not, I can't say. I have 7 seeds and I think I want to pollinate these to get more seeds to grow. Anyway, that's my 2 cents worth. I hope it helps point your nose in the right direction.

I’m intrigued. I might add those to the collection. I found the ones you show in picture. Do you think they will do well indoor?

I dunno if they'll do well indoors or not...the way I look at it, they have no choice. I will find a way to make them work no matter what.

I have 2 Oaxacan x Colombian girls going that are just 4 weeks old...they don't look too bad, imo!

I agree with your approach. I'm still learning but confident enough that I'll take on the challenge of getting it to work indoor. I'd love to see and hear how your harvest ends up. Good luck
