Cloned vs. seeds

I really need to rename this Compound HQ’s shit show (sorry to steal your phrase @bk78 , but this is the difference between hunting a pheno, and rolling the dice with seeds. This is prob the most fucked up canopy I’ve made. On the left, (a tray and a half), is our tried and true cloned Dosi Whoa. To the right, is the shit show of Bittersweet Haze and Lemon Cane from seed (but cloned to make inventory).. so I have never finished those 2 strains. However, I have found one pheno from each that next time, I may get an even field. 61AAA6B6-D7BA-451C-A973-4F06000898AB.jpeg866B687D-F938-4714-9CB3-94D3295B2E14.jpeg

very nice and clean setup. Ive touched pretty much everything in the industry but LEDs. Heard good and bad things about them compared to a 1000w hps. red stems and weak light penetration in large plants are what stuck to me the most. How large do you let your plants get under these lights?

... but seriously, im disappointed in this round. I feel like im wasting time, energy, light space, real estate, .... Never buy from NukeHeads!!... thier genetics suck. Should have stuck with Ethos. Always had good luck with them. These strains from this breeder are just awful. Worst I have ever experienced. Like I said, maybe 1 pheno out of these 2 is clonable. I've never seen such short and weak plants. Im not trying to grow bonsai trees!... You know when you watch a video and it really sucks, and then you want that 5 minutes of your life back?.... imagine 4 1/2 months of it.
Im either going to run a full run of Dosi Whoa!,.. or clone 1 of the best of each of the other that I think can keep up with Dosi. Fucken' eh.

What's your thoughts in them? Was install easy?
You can move those trays fully loaded 17 inches either way, even after a feeding, with one finger. I don't know what kind of voodoo is going on there, but it's pretty cool. We use them as "light movers" too. All left one day, all right the next, center the next. Install was done by the seller in OKC. I popped off on a forum that I was ordering these, and this guy that owns a Grow Store in OKC said that if I ordered them from him, he would install for free to get the experience. He spent 3 days here with a crew of 3 men putting these together with a laser level (2 inch drop from one end to the other)... so, watching this get put together was kinda painful. These guys had never done it before, but they did a hell of a job. I know I wouldn't want to do it. Other quotes I got were (for 3, 20 footers) was somewhere in the $9000.00 range. I just paid for parts, and going from memory here, was around $6500.00 .. and they are worth every penny. Very easy to get in there and clean up the plants, feed, ... you get plenty of room.
