5 Strains at the same time

I would like to grow 5 strains at the same time but worried about the harvest time. I grow in a tent and will dry in the tent so all will have be cut and hung to dry same time.



I would like to grow the following below;

(Any experts shed any light on this)



Skywalker OG Kush DNA Genetics (Reserva Privada)

Holy Grail Kush DNA Genetics

Shoreline Devils Harvest

Strawberry Sour Diesel Devils Harvest

Purple Urkle Flavour Chasers



All will be feminised seeds

buy a small cheap tent for drying.

i usually grow 4 different at a time and that's the only way to do it. you have to harvest each plant when it's done, not when you want it to be done.

You can grow several strains at the same time, one thing to be aware of is the nutrient levels, hence the different plants will often need nutrients that vary from each other, but defintly worth a go, variety is good...

Definitely keep this is mind. I'm growing 4 different strains and I made the mistake of giving all plants the same amount of nutrients each feed. Turns out that only two of them are heavy feeders so I suffered nutrient lockout on the others. My overall yield is definitely going to take a beating because of that.

Thanks for all the help guys, considering this is my second grow i think i will go for 2 strains and 4 plants

Another newbie question, if you don't mind....when you've decided on the strain you want to grow, how do you know the correct nutes for the various strains out there?

you dont lol, the plant will dictate to you what it wants or doesn't lol

it's actually good to stagger harvests, I cant imagine trimming up four at the same time lol I like having a bit of time between trims. I'm one of those growers that absolutely hate trimming but gotta have it on point which makes it worse lol

a good way to get feeding right is to start at half strength feeds record and monitor as you increase dosages, you will know by color if the plant get so green it's almost blue green and the leaves start to claw, flush then water and dial back the next feed and water and by then you should be there if not repeat that process and you'll definitely be there.

Hoping to go for DNA Genetics Holy Grail Kush and Reserva Privada Skywalker OG Kush.

With nutes like redeye mentioned. There should be a feeding chart available start at half strength and take it from there see how the plant responds, e.g leaf tips going yellow, drooping or any other signs which you can check out on growweedeasy

Drying in the same tent is not a good idea as mentioned above, because your plants, especially different strains will have a different finish time.
Do you have a closet, attic, basement?
Another thing to consider is height of the different strains, try to keep them the same. If you find that one is growing too tall, you will have to tie it down (LST)
The plants I grow usually have finish times from 8 weeks to 10, and I just harvest as each plant completes. Drying times are different of course, but that's not really important.
As far as the nutes are concerned, I've found that 90% of the plants I have grown can share the same food.
I do have a White Widow now though that is fussy and doesn't like a high PPM, but the other 9 plants (7 strains) have no problem so I'm just letting that WW suffer. I don't want to inhibit the growth of the other plants for the sake of one plant.
Anyway, all your seed's sound good, so have fun, and I wish you a bountiful harvest!

AND .......

Be aware of Sativa dom strains .... some will run longer than others. They need as long as they need.

And get a tent , large wardrobe box , or closet to do 6our hanging. Let the plants go as long as they need and prepare to train them .
