Heather,
I would think about what you are looking for?
Some things to consider:
I would grow them all in the solo’s or 1 gal until they show sex. No reason to start culling anything until you know which are male and which are female.
This could be a great time to learn a new technique (growing in Solo beer cups until sex is known) This also brings up another post on the OG which I encourage everyone to check out and or participate. Indoornesian’s second annual 16-18 oz. Cup Challenge! Members Only Gear! I mean it’s all for fun anyway… What’s the worst that could happen? Your plant dies and you loose… Big Deal all you lost is a small plant in a solo but I bet you would have learned something well worth the effort. It looks Like I just talked myself into it…
If you are limited on space what a better way to conserve space and maximize your plant count. Once your plants show sex you can up-pot them or cull if needed.
IMHO…Don’t get rid of your freaks and mutants. Freaks and mutants have been known to produce some great weed…
Shit… I have a few mutants/freaks going now. One of the freaks started off so slow… but now that it is older it is showing amazing structure compared to the other phenos in the line. If it were not for freaks and mutants we would all be the same… Boring…!
After you have determined sex… You can cull any males you don’t want to keep. This will give you a better look at your players. By this time you should have a pretty good feel for the ones you want to keep.
Remember… Not so long ago you were having some issues with your plants in solo cups and now your solo game is good enough that you are having to reduce your plant count. I’d say the Solo Challenge would be a game changer for ya!
Either way whatever you decide just remember you started growing no so long ago and today you are growing seeds that you produced. You are dong so well you have to reduce plant count. I’d say that was a win in anyone’s book .
