Which method for multiple strains?

Hi guys.

First time grower. While I intend to start with just a single strain for my first grow and I have heard that soil may be the best method for my first few grows, I do want to ultimately grow using a hydroponic method. Additionally, I would like to be able to grow a sativa dominant hybrid and an indica dominant hybrid in the same tent. I have learned through researching to try to match flowering times, etc. so I attempted to do so when ordering seeds.

My current equipment is as follows:
1. 4x4 tent
2. “6 inline fan with 8” carbon filter
3. 70 pint dehumidifier
4. Hydroton clay pebbles
5. Root riot plugs
6. Seedling tray with dome
7. pH test strips
8. EC/TDS meter
9. pH up and down with testing solution
10. Digital hygrometer
11. Insect spray for prepping the room the tent will be in
12. My lights are two of these at the link below. Two WiFi timers were also purchased.

*I have more items on the list... These are just the items that have been currently purchased. Any suggestions for things I need (or don’t need) are welcome!


The seeds I’ve purchased are
1. Jamaican Dream by Eva Seeds (6)
2. Candy Kush Express RQS (5)
3. Blue Mystic RQS (5)
4. Chocolate Haze RQS (5) *upon further research, I realize that this strain grows huge and is better outdoors. I will save these for later, I suppose.

Free seeds (1 of each):
1. Godberry by Freedom of Seeds
2. C-Vibez by Dutch passion seeds
3. Do Z Dos by pheno finder seeds
4. Auto blue dream by humboldt seed organization
5. Liberty Haze by Barney’s farm
6. RQS Critical (they sent me 6 of these)

I’m thinking I should start with the candy kush? If anyone disagrees, I’d be happy to know!


My question for you guys is this...

What hydroponics system would I use to eventually be able to grow 1 to 2 plants (depending on varying factors) of two different strains? I realize that different strains will require different levels of nutes, etc. Is it possible (or recommended) to have two separate hydro systems in the same tent so that each strain can receive proper nutes? If not, what system would I use for them together? Can you direct me to any tutorials/videos?

While soil may be the way to go initially, I would like to have my set up prepared for hydro now.

Any and all other advice is more than appreciated also. Thanks in advance.

And no, it's all one system, keeping the PPms around 4-600 during flowering allows each plant to uptake what it needs when it needs it. No need for 2 separate nurtrient mixes.

hempy buckets. grow as many plants as you want and as many strains you want. easy as soil, results like hydro.

Dwc would propably be your best bet.although Ive run multiple strains in an ebb and flow system and had good results I think it's better to have your reservoir dialed in for a single strain because different strains can have different feeding requirements.
