When I first started my search for the 'V' I had the same conundrum: Without any solid info re: which strains might have what I want and so many strains to try, it was challenging to figure out a path forward. I had a handful of seeds from several promising strains, but with only 2 grow areas so I finally chose to concentrate on 1 strain at a time. First one was Durban Poison (Dutch Passion) and it was a bust for THCV, but I have a jar of fems seeds if anyone wants to try some. Second was Malawi, and it was disappointing; it has some chops but not THCV that I could discern. Not coincidentally, I also have a jar of Malawi x Durban fems. I'm currently focused on Wild Thailand. The V is definitely there -- it's a very buzzy high and I've noticed a slight decrease in appetite -- so I plan to include one in my next grow as well, but still looking for that exceptional strain.
You have significantly more space than I, so I don't see why you can't run 2 strains in parallel, and still have 6 plants of each for chemotype variety.
Yes, so in my case I start by germinating 12 of the same seeds with the expectation that 6 are males.
Bring 6 (hopefully) females into one of the tents.
Figure out how to deal with that particular strain in my space while testing diligently. Try to get rid of any low THCV plants and take clones off the ones that are promising just in case. Maybe end up with 2 or 3 that go all the way thru flower.
Repeat with the other tent.
1 month in Veg for each group. 2 months in flower for each. So my 1 veg tent will supply both flower tents on a constant cycle.
Repeat until I have moms of the best one(s).
Consider getting into breeding with these moms, or send them to one of you guys that do this all the time. In a perfect world, I'd prefer to have no males in my lab that are mature.
