Use case: RDWC
I have a 3X3 tent. It will only accommodate 1 large girl when vegged and trained for yield.
If I wanted to start 4 plants, and choose the most vigorous one of the bunch, how would I go about it?
I am theorizing a somewhat shallow tote with four 3" net pots, then make my selection after showing sex, and put the winning net pot in another 5 gal bucket type rig to finish growing her out. By using unions on the vessel plumbing I can switch vessels out pretty easy.
Would the roots be so mangled together by then to be a show stopper?
Is there a better way to achieve my goal?
I tried this on my current grow, with 2 seedlings in each 6" net pot, and then picked the best of the 4 seedlings, culled the 2nd plant in the winning vessel and yanked the other vessel out. Things got mighty crowded by the time I could determine sex. But now I have one girl totally filling the tent. I wouldnt want to put 2 seedlings in a single net pot again though, the decay of the roots ball from the culled plant concerned me.
