Please help me find the males :)

Strain is super silver haze, suppose to have a nice stretch, even up to 2X

Usually I ran 3-4 plants in the tent, and I had some strains that like to stretch, GSC for example
I am working with scrog and super cropping, so no issue, but good advice I will aim for 2-3 top, depend on the final pot size.

"Yield is proportional to root volumes." - yea that's why I want to move them to 11 liter, or even 18 if I will leave only 1 or 2.

Good point about the topping,
I will wait few more days.

Thank you very much for the help

Ok so SSH is a good strain. They look good. SSH can yield well so I’d wait and run the best female or two. Keep topping the moms hard for even canopy until the clones or moms show show then up pot.

Much better strain for yield than GSC and I think some phenos of SSH can go up to 11 weeks and make large buds.

According to Nirvana its 9-11 weeks.
I am a bit afraid of large buds, I had bud rot twice with very big buds, so I break the branches (kind of super crop) into the scrog net to create a canopy of smaller buds.

I usually do 4 in , but not sativas...

Last question, do you think I should top now, and not after transfer to bigger pot?

If you top and train you should get more buds of the same size as you already know.
I’d say top whenever you like and when you need to. I wouldn’t worry what pot they are in when topping.
It probably makes sense that topping in the smaller pot is a good idea as the topping slows growth while the plant redirects its growth so that buys you some time?
So top in small pots then by the time they have new shoots you may be able to up pot and top again and then go 12/12.
I think the timing should be close to right with that approach?

When I do a new strain I research as best I can of others grow diaries etc to get an idea of what I’m in for and what to look for.
Once you have a few clues then you can sit in front of your plants and space and make a plan.
I’m also of the belief that breeder packs usually only have one or two keepers in them so reducing to that number is usually my aim and the best outcome.
I usually pick my keepers when the plants show sex but I cull and runts and mutants early. Biggest and best leaves and smell are a couple of my most important traits to choose.

I don’t think SSH rots too bad either.

How did it go?

They are getting too tall... tomorrow cleanup, I will keep only 4 plants and top them

It’s a jungle in there!
What I’d do is maybe look at running plants 5&7 in one container together rather than two 18’s.
If they are getting tall then maybe you could find a large volume low height container and put plants in opposite corners/side and lay them over past each other and then have them under a net. If you did that to them and topped them that would go off.
Then I’d cut plants 3&4 into clones. Your other clones probably didn’t show sex because their roots were not established. Roots produces flower hormone afaik.

All males from what I can see...

I'd wait for #3 to make sure, if a hair comes out of that thing in a week or so... if not, toss with the rest..

** after looking at your other photos, seven was not in the originals and plant 5 I think is a surprise... but i also see no hairs on #3, so I'd watch for that....
