Multiple plants, and yes multiple strains. You can tell? They all look the same to me lol. But wanted to avoid scrog if possible but still increase potential bud sites. My last grow last year got hard to maintain with the scrog net I couldn’t really tend to the back end and if I make a 4x4 net it’s going to be harder to get to the back 2 plants

No, you won't need to scrog. But if you wanna do a little more, look into quadline or mainline training methods. I really like mainline myself.

so you cant use the info overall, you will have to keep records of the differant strains and keep records of the differant phenos and how they each reacted to the choice of pruning. clones of a plant will be your best bet to get a true idea of how to go about pruning.
i would try lst on them first off, its less stressful on the plants and your less likely to get a hermie or the odd male flowers on a femail plant

if you tie some bamboo cains to the pot of one, you can turn it around to get to the back of your plants

Yeah I hand water them now. And it’s a pain to have to move everything around to get to the back now. But yeah I figured all the diff strains would be a learning curve.

Looks interesting but I’m still new to this, looks a little advanced for me. But I will try that next grow. I plan on 1 plant next time around so I can mess around as much as I want.

At this point I’m not even sure which plant is which strain anymore. I know I have gpd, Nicole, blueberry, zkittles, and gsc but 1 was a dud and didn’t look Right so I left her out and plan on removing.

you should allways label your plants, that way you know which is which when it comes to harvest, with those genetics you want to know which is which too. having to buy new bags of seeds costs money
