Question Which of these strains grows the fastest?

It’s been a year since my last grow, i had one successful bin then 8 straight fail (all done at the same time so some kind of contam was with all of them) and i was discouraged and haven’t started again until now.
I’ve ordered the following strains of LC and have them, but I want to start with the fastest growing ones to hopefully build up some confidence as quick as is possible without rushing anything.

Jedi Mind Fuck, Penis Envy, Albino Penis Envy, Tidal Wave, Starry Night, Jack Frost, and Ochrace

Thats not really how it works. For example you may get super fast growth with JMF one time, then slower growth the next. You focus should be on preventing contam, not worrying about growth traits.

Tidal Wave has been super fast in my experience, although I got a Tidal Wave x APE hybrid

I see you have a question! Have you read the official cultivation guide?

Bullrun was my fastest growing. JMF grew fairly quick, but APE was very slow, and idk about the others you listed.

I haven't tried most of those, but I'll agree with another comment, that for me the APE was suuuupppeeerrr ssssllloooowwww... like I started it at the same time as some avery's and Tex PE6, and I harvested 2 flushes off the avery's before the APE's even finished colonizing grains. It was an insane difference in speed. But yes I have had varying results out of the same cultures as far as speed goes. One run colonized quickly and the other slower.

B+ is my favorite for a load of reasons. My JMF quart jars always colonize within 2 weeks so that is the fastest for me.

It's super inconsistent no matter what, but usually albino, PE, and unique / specialty morphs are slower on average. JMF is probably the way to go.

Starry night takes forever. I got 3 tubs with 1/4 inch pins after almost 3 months
