So i've upgraded to a much larger setup after (almost) completing 3 successful grows under a 400 watter. Bumped up to 2kw, but the biggest dilemma i'm facing is what strains to run.
I do not have the funds to have an elaborate setup with clones, mothers, veg areas, etc. I have 1 tent and 1 tent only, so I have to go from seed (for now). After 1 or 2 successful grows I can then start cloning and then obviously my concerns will dissipate..
I've grown out only nirvana's white widow and white rhino. I've had a 50-50 ratio, if not higher, of males/females. First round was 4 males, 4 females, second round the same. Third round I decided to change it up a bit..
Ran:
4 WW/WR
2 Nirvana Bubbelicious
2 Mandala Hashberry
8 total. Now...from the start I can say that the temps at 'nite' time are a bit low, nothing crazy as I have had 3 successful grows prior. Both Bubbelicious and both hashberries turned male. Out of the 4 white widow / white rhinos, 3 females 1 male.
Now...is this just poor genetics, luck of the draw, or what?
I did notice that in my seed pack (from Gypsy @ SeedBoutique) 2 of my bubbelicious were smashed. This left me with 8, and the remaining 8 didn't look all that great as far as visuals (color, size, etc.)
I have a bunch of Nirvana and Mandala (saved me money) I'm about to run under the 2kw, including 8 miles high, hashberry, bubbelicious, ice, citral...i'm going to do my best to keep temps where they should be as i can control that now...but i hope to god i didn't get the 100% male ratio as before (from the bub & hashberry)
Anyone have experience running these strains? I've seen both complaints and successful logs of both strains, but seriously...are there "known" issues with these?
Also, can anyone recommend me a cash cropper strain with good genetics that will (most likely) provide a 50/50 ratio of females/males? I hear Serious Chronic is a good one, but they're also very expensive. I don't mind spending the money IF I had the ability to clone...but I can't right now. I REALLY want to run ChemD/SourDiesel, but clearly that is also a strain you run when you can clone if you want to run it more than once.
Thanks.
