Advice needed for my next grow!

So I got my order from Herbies and there are 3 strains that I really want to try but since I am doing RDWC it may not be the best idea to grow all three at the same time even though I really want to. First off let me give you a little background. I have a 5x5 Gorilla tent with 2x600 HPS air cooled hoods. My RDWC right now only consist of 6 buckets. I was planning on doing 2 of each as a test to see what phenos I want to keep.

So what would you do or do you recommend? Should I only do two strains or grow all 3? The strains are Barneys Farm: Critical Kush, Reserva Privada OG #18, and HSO Blue Dream. I read Blue Dream is very easy to grow and forgiving, so that's good news and should pair easily with any of the others. I also read somewhere OG 18 likes minimal nutes, so that is something to take into consideration. I have not found any info on the Critical Kush.

Thanks in advanced for any input.

If HSO's Blue Dream is anything like the clone, it will be a heavy feeder. OG Kush crosses are almost always sensitive to nutrients. That said, I've yet to grow Barney's Critical Kush or HSO's Blue Dream, but the OG #18 cut that I've grown was an excellent OG hybrid in fuel, taste, and potency. I'd run the full OG#18 and go half and half with the Blue Dream and Critical Kush.

Thanks for the input. The OG 18 has me the most excited then Blue Dream in a close second. I only want to grow out the Critical Kush because it's supposed to be a big yielder.

Critical Kush strain has medical values mate. it's good for relieving stress and for the treatment of insomnia. with regards to growing, this strain can do well both indoors and outdoors but growing Critical Kush is not as easy with other strains. experience is needed bcoz less attention and care may result to poor growth and low yield

Hmm I have the experience but it sounds like it would be a pain in the ass to grow all 3 at once, especially since they are all using the same water. I am using RDWC so there isn't a way to give any one plant special attention, unless it can be done via foiler feeding. Perhaps I may have to choose only 2 to grow after all. Damn it!

If you're starting a new system, my suggestion is to reduce your variables as much as possible.

For only six buckets, I'd actually suggest ONE strain (not two, let alone three), for a new hydroponics system, but if the choice is between 2 and 3, choose two.
