stealth 6 plant bubbleponic question

Ive got a stealth hydro 6 site starter kit with 6 plants, 3 bag seed, 2 great looking nirvana feminized white rhino, and 1 white rhino that looks like shit. all under 24, 26w CFL's. 12 are 65k 12 are 27k. I have got a 400w HPS/MH grow light coming in the mail.


My question is, should i remove the 3 bag seed from my system and focus on growing these 2 good looking white rhinos. Im not too worried about height in my closet. I plan on doing some LST and SCROG once they hit about 12" high. Ive got about 36" for vert growth.



I know you cant estimate the yield, but would I have better yields with 4 or 5 females that have to compete for light in a small closet(64"x32"x26") or 2 large feminized plants that will be able to grow much larger and have more room for root development in the 8 gallon res.

tl:dr
grow 6 plants that have to compete for space, or grow 2 that will have more room to grow. because big plants = big yeilds

If you need more info, LMK and I'll get back to you.

Thanks a lot,
SJ

So what you are saying is you have some clones and some bag seed and are worried about them being in the same water rez? I would do bag seed separate from clones as if it turns out they are male you would be safer not having to untangle/cut roots later down the road.

The point about males coming from the bagseed is a good one--you don't want them to knock up your White Rhinos.

More to the point, six plants is way too much for a Bubbleponics tub if you plan on vegging them to any decent size. I did six for my first Bubbleponics harvest, and while I got about an oz per plant, I probably could have had the same yield with three or four plants; there was just way too much competition for space going on. I'm trying five plants per tub right now, and I'm still crunched for space. Three out of ten plants are straight-up dead for lack of light and space. I'm starting another tub of four, and I'd go down to 2 or 3 if I grow ECSD or another long sativa again.
