This is my first indoor grow. Fairly small tent. I have 3 northern lights growing. Flipped to flower around a week ago. 2 of them are really healthy, tall, and flowering nicely. 1 of them is only half size of the other 2 and lagging behind in flowering. All same food and water, everything the same. Moved around in tent to try to find better light, but shes just the runt of the litter. My question is should I just leave her and see what happens, or destroy her to give more room for the other 2?
Could be the runt has a different phenotype and may take longer to flower.Leave here be and let her grow,she may just turn out to give the most potent buds…Plants look nice and healthy.The buds are very developed for only being in flower a week.Usually buds do not form like that till the 3rd week,as the first two weeks they go through the flower stretch.
Spread the out a bit or move the little one to one side go make sure she gets some light. If you have clones of them all, don’t cull or get rid of anything until after the smoke report. If you don’t have cuttings, make it a habit to start, or you’ll really regret it at some point.
Looking at their point in flower, pot size, and spacing, I would probably leave them all to finish as is.
At the point they are in flower, their size is already more or less set. They won’t get much bigger from this point. Maybe will gain anohter 50% in height at most.
The one larger plant will be dominant, but the smaller one won’t detract from it too much. Eliminating the smaller one at this point wouldn’t do do much to increase its partner plant.
. She is not going to steal light to the other two, give her a chance …
