growing with 1 hps and 1 mh side by side is a fantastic idea. i did it with 2 600s (1 hps and 1 mh) with great success. dont forget to move either the lights or the plants every wk (ie. put the plants under the hps under the mh and move the ones under mh under the hps or move the lights back and fourth every wk) this will give you plants a good mix of both.

the mh will give you tons of resin/frosty thc buds. the hps will give you big and dense buds. if you use both together it'll come out looking amazing trust me. true GRADE A quality .

i can't speak for your nutes as ive mostly used fox farm in all my years of growing (its what i started with and if it aint broke don't fix it imo) but for best results with nutes just stick to one line of nutes. in other words don't mix and match different brands as it can cause nute/ph problems as not all brands make their veg, bloom, and boosts equally.

if you can afford to grow organic. you'll be pleased in terms of the buds smokability and taste/smell.

how long have you been growing?

if you have any questions lemme know and ill try to help


also before i forget. when growing lots of strains like you are try to put all the plants of similar height together! don't put big giant plants next to lil ones if at all possible.

this is my 3rd grow ... still new and looking for some good advice!

the botanicare is a organic line as well as swwet and atami do you have a good organic replacement for the GH liquid kool bloom
im happy with the botanicare but unfortunatly dont have something of my own that i ran diff nute line up

i plan on running a max of 4 diff strains 2 of each in my dwc buckets

i use a r.o filter that puts my water perfect !!

earth juice is an all organic line ive heard some good things about and its not too expensive compared to other brands. you can find it at almost any hydro store. beware though...it smells something awful (the nutes when you open the bottle).

just use 1 nute line up of your choosing and follow the feeding chart.

i have no experience growing with hydro so i wont be able to help much with that. ive grown soil only for 4 years. lol.


as far as which strains to grow id certainly say grow your dinafem gear and sensi gear. both are very very VERY good breeders. ive gotten nothing but winners from dinafem (critical+ see grow journal in sig, original amnesia, roadrunner, etc) were all grade A in terms of high, yield, and quality. i never grown the strain you have from them though.

sensi seeds is amazing as well. be careful with the ghs gear. ive grown probably 5 or so strains from them but only the great white shark was a winner. the rest was crap although ive never grown any of the ghs strains you have.
