Greetings,
This will be my first MNS grow as well as my first time "selecting".
My veg area is 4'x2' under a 4', 6 bulb T5 with a 20" height restriction.
My flowering area is a 3'x2' enclosure w/600 watt HPS, 5' height restriction.
I grow DWC but I'll have to use Rockwool cubes through this process to accommodate the initial 18 required sites. Once the final selections have been made I'll go back to DWC. I don't have any experience with RW outside of cloning so any advice is appreciated.
I started soaking the seeds this morning and I will plant the sprouts directly into large RW cubes. They will veg out until I can take, depending on my germination success, 4-6 clones from each plant. Once those root, the best clone of each plant will be transplanted into large RW cubes and go into the flowering area. Hopefully I can identify and cull males before I have overgrowth issues. Not until I have cured samples from all of the females will I be able to compare and finalize my selections and cull the lesser significant pheno's. My final selection(s) will then have to be cloned to provide mother plants for the switch back to DWC. Not until those clones are well established will I cull the original seedlings. That's the plan anyways, fingers X'ed.
In the pics, the different pheno's I can expect seems to be prevalent in the dissimilarity/individuality of the seeds. I'll be looking for the recommended unripened mango smelling sativa pheno. The pics make the seeds look kinda gray, they actually have more of a dried grass color to them. The 3rd pic is a comparison of one of the smaller MH seeds to an 'average' sized seed out of my collection:
