Wenn Du wissen willst, wie das funktioniert, dann schau Die mal meine Grows an. Ich habe nicht nur verschiedene Sorten (Chocolop, Hyperion, Afghan Kush) sonder auch verschiedene Stadien im Zelt. Ich meine, es funktioniert ganz hervorragend. An irgendeiner Woche habe ich jeweils einen Kommentar erfasst, dass meine Absichten bekunden.

I'm not a fan of it unless you have multiple lights that you can hang at different heights. Cuz they won't grow identical. Some might be tall and lanky, some might be squat and bushy as hell. Dealing with one strain that you really like is the way to go. Then you get to know what it likes and dislikes. You get to know it's growth pattern...etc..

They will all grow, but some of them will be different. Some may stay short other may stretch a lot. souvenir is just free or sample. Most seed banks give out freebies when you order. I recently did an auto tent with 6 different strawberry stains and some of them where small, others tall, some bushed out, others did not. some smelly some not, It worked out well for me, but I got lucky and they all decided to go into flower aorund the same time, some of the newer autos are vegging out for 7+ weeks sometimes and that can throw a giant wrench in the cogs of the tent. You can sometimes force them into flower with stress but its not ideal. Give it a shot and try it out. you can always use boosters for smaller plants to keep them at the same height as others, and use LST/HST to keep the really tall ones from strectching to much.

even if you stick to 1 strain, there can be great variation from one to the other, which can make evening out and applying light effectively to all plants difficult. Less so with photoperiods, but more of a crapshoot with autos even if you stick to 1 strain. There are ways to train them to level out the canopy. Easy to do even if your first time, but the timing and where to bend or this or that does take some familiarity... good thing to learn. Learn by doing. can bend or break stems, tie them down... etc etc.. try to keep height as even as possible. "souvenir" is a poor attempt to avoid legality issues, lol. Like those waiver forms you sign before entering or doing something dangerous, it won't hold up in court. Check your local laws. May not be relevant for you. In the US, for example, the person who posts the seeds has risk, but the receiver is not legally responsible for what was sent to them. Otherwise, you could just get your enemies thrown in jail by sending them illegal things.

Some breeders/seed brokers will label seeds as "souvenir" due to the legality of cannabis in some regions. In the US(federally) while it's still considered illegal to possess cannabis, the seeds are OK since they don't contain enough THC. To your second question, early on mixing strains isn't a big deal but ad they grow can exhibit different growth patterns. By the end of the grow you may have plants that tower over the others unless you either train down the tall stuff or give your shorties booster seats. As long as you figure out a way to provide even light distribution you should be fine.
