2nd Grow, looking for some opnions.

Greetings AFNers.

i am bout 60 days or so in to my first and of course am starting to plan my next grow.

Some frivolous details..

My current ‘Lab’ is a 27x27x60 in a closet grow, i have one ‘Skydancer’ in a 5 gal fabric (truth be told it’s probably like 3.5 gal full: just being transparent) and she is taking up like nearly ALL of the space with only her.. I am just doing some minor LST tying down and tucking before that since this is my first grow and i wanna ‘just observe‘ primarily this first go.. no Defoliation or Super cropping…Im running in Super-ish-soil that i custom mixed with OF and HF as bases and some organic amendments and some other macro goodies.. been perfect so far!

i am going to do another round of beans when this grow gets harvested: circa starting in March after all is said and done with drying and tent clean cycling…

so my questions are…

should i stick to my original plan and germ two beans next run ? Yes, stuff two in 5 gals fabrics in there! (I have considered looking for some 3 Gal fabric pots as well, but my kit came with the 5s so this is the game plan…unless i find some 3Gals in the next month)

Also, should I stick to those same guns to run the same cultivar B2B and really learn her traits and habits and possibly train more heavily to increase yields? based on a recommendation for beginners i had planned on doing this strategy.. but after seeing a few other Labs i am wanting potential variety in my stash.. Like would gals/guys run another Skydancer? and really get to know this cultivar?

or

Is Variety the spice of life: and would you do it how i am leaning today?

do two beans, but dig into some other varieties in my vault of goodies? Thus essentially Id keep learning on the fly AND up my stash variety (which is honestly where I am leaning)?

thankfully there is no wrong answers and all opinions are welcome!
Thanks.

I plan to augment this line of thinking: i’ll do two new cultivars that have similar ’timers’ with regard to seed to harvest timelines.. should equate to the best of both worlds. If they both germ same ish rate…

@Orion that was an option, but i thought my first few stashes should be varied, that will influence the 3rd time… the one that us supposed to be literally ’filled with charms’ know what i mean?

I would definitely consider the heights listed as well, in order to try to keep an even canopy as best you can.

Thank you, and I am keeping that under consideration!

FWIW The “label” on my current grow has been a pretty accurate encapsulated snapshot of timeline, shape, structure and even smells somewhat .." The like !etc..
i also do plan on more aggressively training them this time (still LST maybe just more often) in aims to get the candelabra kinda canopy. Though i like the current Charlie brown XMas tree it looks like now, but want more ‘even’ bud formations that training should help achieve.

its all so crazy, but i think I get it in a weird way..

I'm with rasterman. If you like what you grew try it again. You can use your second spot for trying new things.
I am always growing an ultimate indoors in hydro and when the weather warms I'll try something new outdoors in small pots.
Fun to go through old bag seed. One of them from a few years back grew some excellent smoke. Wish I could've reversed it or crossed it with something but I had no idea it was going to turn out so well. Short, dense like nothing I've ever grown before and very stinky. The buds were colored brown and when the weather turned colder, they changed into purple. Still miss her. I wonder what she was. Some of the seeds sucked though. Had a few that smelled like cat piss and didn't taste very well. Whoa, sorry for the long story.

I always loved the Bag seeds and have gotten some ridiculously potent shit of unknown etiology...hindsight....always so freaking clear!

Nice! If i had ever imagined my wife would be aboard with it: and if i knew i would be able to gro…id have a mean stash of potential misfits and mutants for my laboratory.
If the next few plant(s) grow(s) as well as the maiden voyage has gone so far…(set to harvest Monday! Man it flies!)

I hope my Dry n Cure skill is as on as the cultivation has been. I feel like a ‘G’ so far i cant lie. But i know the hardest make or break part is on the horizon. I feel pretty good though everything has been as advertised and has gone to plan and i think my environment will be dialed in for final drying and curing steps.
