Help me pick which two of three to kill, er, cull

Need to make space, and time to upcan soon.

Grew six amazing bagseed (amazing compared to my first 46 bagseeds before these six). Will keep three out of six bagseed. Topped three, and already pulled one of the three that were topped, the smallest of them by far.

I'l probably keep the other two that I topped.


I know males ten to be taller, but I have three unmolested and only one can survive. Any help from the pros or perhaps a gifted amateur as to how to best select which two to cull? I'm considering simply picking the shortest, healthiest, bushiest [the two keepers that were topped are to the left of second pic]



They were seeds on June 8, tiny four-leaved sprouts on June12 in 18oz solo cups, upcanned into microkote-copper 1 gal on Jun 26, and on Jun 29 were moved to 400w MH. So, about 4 weeks from sprout, if that helps your advice any. I want them to root their new homes for a week starting tonight or tomorrow (2.5 g), and then flip to 12/12, to sync with another batch that's two weeks ahead of these and waiting for the photo-period changeover. Total of 18 will drop to total of 15 after I've killed them (the rest are some AK48 and Afghan and unknown hybrids - three or four each, and a solo other bagseed, my first good one of the 46 experimental bagseeds).

you can't wait to after the flip and see sex? if your flipping in a week i'd make room till I'm sure. Just my .02 for what its worth

yup, what he (or she) said!

Thanks a lot, guys.

It's already gonna be tight with 15 big pots (2.5 - 6 gallons). The bagseed were never expected to grow like real plants. But the genetic seeds are what I'm in the grow for. It's my first grow and I'm already juggling more variables than I think I can keep up with. My plan/expectations was for maybe 4 to 6 to maturity, and I'm pretty sure I'll reach that with the 11 genetics and 1 female bagseed (based on preflowering 6 wks from sprout I've about 4 likely-very likely femmes, five more that have shown nothing at only 4 weeks, and 3 bagseed that I plan to keep alive).

So it's a non-starter to have 18 big pots (water, soil, footprint under the lights, etc.), though I'm glad you dropped in.

don't killem, gift them to a friend,

^ That might lead to a security risk.

Based on popular demand, a full 100% of replies !, they're granted a stay of execution for at least a week, although they don't get bigger pots to grow in, and they'll be relegated to catch whatever rays are available at the fringe. When it's time to flip to flower I'll reassess my footprint, but things aren't lookin good for 'em.

Anyway, five minutes before lights out and I just upcanned the other 3 bagseed and 5 genetics from my round 2 (around 15 days younger than the other seven plants I have going). The zombie plants are front left with a couple of clones in that purple bin, and tonite's transplanted 8 are scattered across the front, oldies are in back. Don't know why I mention it. Oh, and obviously there's some work tomorrow AM to level out the two sets of canopies.

I would keep em around, let em go their whole cycle in smaller pots. I grow in 1 gallon pots (pretty large plants), i always get huge yields off of em. I find that you can still grow quality/quantity in smaller pots but it just takes a bit more TLC!

Good luck!
