I want 3 different strains in my next grow. Several won’t pop and I like to have several to choose from at transplant time. I’m thinking maybe starting 5 seeds of each. What do you think?

I, personally, grow what I need. I do two or four different strains each grow in my 4x4s.
Usually my germination rate is 100%, so I take a chance some don’t pop. That way, unless I scrog, if I have to pop another seed or two that space in growth, may either catch up, or gives me the extra time I need at harvest and trimming time.
If I could I’d only grow 1 strain as growing from seed will give different phenotypes… This way I could take clones of the best of four. Whereas, with two or four different strains I have less chance of getting a killer phenotype to clone from.

That’s your call; I normally have 100% germination and have had runty seedlings outperform all the others.

Thanks, that really helps. I’ve never tried cloning. I plan to try soon. It doesn’t sound too difficult. I already have some cloning gel. Would I need two tents?

@Dj351 I think you’d need a veg tent… Or at least a clone area and light.
Definitely something you wouldn’t do at flower tent light times or spectrum.
There’s plenty on here for cloning if and when you need it.
Good luck!

Thanks, I don’t have room for another tent currently. I’ll stick with seeds for now.

Any tent 4x4 or smaller…. I would germinate one of each and grow just 3 plants.
