Or would you think if I have say... 3 Cookies Kush seeds... Pop all 3 and after a couple months of veg .. takes clones and grow out the bushiest looking one and toss the other 2?
Like it or not there’s no quick way to do it. That’s why people hold onto some cuts so strongly.
It all depends on what you are looking for too. If you are looking to hit all the points (hardiness, plant structure, bud structure, vigor, frost, smell, flavor, effects) then you can start tossing out plants pretty early as they grow.
I use to take everything to the end of flower, now I don’t even take everything to flower. A non stellar plant is not worth my time any more. I’ve wasted too much space and time on mediocre plants when I could have been popping more seeds to replace them early on. I also have a plant count I I have to stick to.
I prefer plants with a tighter node structure and stiffer/thicker branches. They tend to scrog the best. You don’t want anything that stretches a bunch and you want to try to finish with around 12” of canopy above the net give or take 2”.
My blueberry on the left ran a little wild on me, I should have turned my lights up earlier into flower so she stretched on me more than my previous run of her about a year and a half ago.
