Multi strain in hydro?

Hello all. I just got some seeds from Attitude and got 2x dinafem blue widow and 1x sour jack as freebies and I am so excited to try them with the Barney's farm L.S.D. I bought. Problem is, I will be growing them in the same hydroponic system using the same reservoir. I know that some strains like a lot of nutes while others do not. But do you think it is still ok?

Well I finally found a thread with the same question so I kinda got the answer that it is not recommended. But maybe the L.S.D. is not the best strain to grow from many different seeds in the same system because I have read some reviews saying l.s.d has very unstable genetics, lots of different phenos with different flowering time. That kinda makes it no better then different strains or what? This will be my third grow and my first hydro so maybe I should just keep it simple and grow only one large plant this time?

Yes, if it's your first try at hydro, it would be sound to go with the one plant and learn as much as you can.

And yes, avoid different strains on the same res.

Thanks for the answer. I guess I will have to control my excitement and only germ one of my seeds now. I am very curious to know how the Sour Jack is. It is a cross between Sour Diesel and Jack Herer. Which should I germ,

Dinafem Blue widow,
G13 labs Sour Jack
or Barney's L.S.D?:-P

I wondered about different strains in the same system. I'm currently growing 5 plants in one system: 3 white widow, 1 purple haze, and 1 kandy kush. We switched over to flowering last week and they all look great. They're all basically the same height right now...that kush is a bit taller than the rest. Maybe I got lucky?

You can grow different strain same res. But and this is a big BUT. You should grow each strain by themselves first. Use the same mutes and make sure there isn't Different supplements needed. Then you are completely safe. And don't mix indica and saliva's. Keep genos the same.
