To many different strains at once, need grow tips.

Hey RIU,
First post here! I've been growing for a while though. My problem is I have to many strains going and all plants are different as we all know. I'm just wondering if anybody has any grow tips for any of my strains. It would be much appreciated! Here's a list of what I have going:

Auto's:
Think different autoflower

Cheese autoflower

Hash plant-Clone

Brainstorm G13 haze-Clone

Skunk 6-Clone- Can't find any info!

All from seed :

Tangerine Dream

Afgan kush X Skunk

Afgan kush X White Widow

Sweet Deep Grapefruit

Medi #2

the best thing to do with mixed strain growing is low stress training and pruning as needed with SCROGging. when you train all of your plants to a screen, you even out light coverage and penetration as well as use all of the space that would be wasted between plants. as an added benefit, all of your buds will act like top colas at the same height. it's extra work, and could get messy when you factor in different flowering times and rotating plants, but it's especially suited to mixed strain grows as well as taming really stretchy IBLs.

i can only advise on the Brainstorm x G13 haze- if it is the one by delta 9 labs, it should have a 13-14 week flower time, it packs on most of the weight in the last 3 weeks, so don't be impatient, it is a vigorous grower, not much need of veg time. Yields can be extraordinary judging from what my brother does with his BSxG13H, i've got a clone of his keeper vegging outdoors, starting to flower, its a medium feeder for the first 5 weeks, then the 3-4 weeks after that it likes to eat more, stop feeding the plant around week 11ish and it should take care of itself and finish a nice golden green/brown, looks extremely sativa. Where do you live? i know my bro gave out his cutting to a few people in upper east coast, it would be funny if that's the one you got.



Also- keep an eye on your
Liberty Haze
Super lemon haze
Tangerine Dream
Pineapple chunk

as these 3 are likely to give you problems.
 
I got the cutting from a friend... Thank for the info on the Brainstorm man.. What's the problem with these?

my recent freebie of Pineapple chunk presexed with balls, flowered with balls and hairs (hermaphroditism) and would have nuked my entire outdoor grow with shitty seeds had i not spotted the preflowers. liberty haze and tangerine dream are from the same breeder, so its probable they might give you issues, although unlikely, plan for the worst case scenario. i've had super lemon haze pop a banana, after i saw that, chop chop chop.


on the other hand, you may end up with amazing results(however unlikely) that have evaded me with those particular strains. Good luck.



when it comes to feeding, my advice is, when growing large quantities of varying strains, start with low feed, then make a solution(nute mix) for those that show deficiency and water them a little more with a slightly raised nutrient solution, do this for a while and you should learn each plants appetite. just don't overwater and adjust according to the plants necessity.
 
Did you have a feminized seed? All of mine are, I've been told mixed reviews on Barney's Farm and figured I'd give it a go. I have some back up seed if needed, always need a back up!

i personally don't like purchasing fem seed. if its free, I'll grow it, hell i'll grow herm bagseed just to see if its got potential. only a few breeders rub me the wrong way like Barney's farm and Greenhouse though. I'm convinced Barney's farm has 3-4 excellent strains, Only one i grew that i can say gave me great results was "Red Dragon" the rest judging from the mounds of grow journals i've read are likely- Vanilla kush(haven't grown), Blue Cheese(haven't grown) and Red Cherry Berry(haven't grown). i would say research grow journals, as i have not grown most of the stuff you listed, nor found them interesting or knew of anyone who grew those particular varieties. google works wonders when looking for strain history/journals. some grow journals offer very little info besides photographs while others are the opposite. just gotta sift through them.

my super lemon haze was too mutated and late starting to even be a hermie threat and it was no better than any similar smoking jacks and hazes that were faster flowering and mutant free. DNA genetics' sweet haze proved to be clearly better than average though.
