Which Girls To Get Rid Of?

My grow has gone well considering the problems I had at first. Of the 8 babies, 6 turned out to be female with a possible 7th, and they are in day 12 of 12/12.

I've decided, based on closet space and total amount of available lighting, that I'll only keep 4 plants from this point forward.

What is the primary plant characteristic that I should evaluate to determine which plants to keep? For example, is it the total current number of grow tips? A couple of the girls stretched real bad at the beginning of flower -- are those more or less desirable than the more compact plants (height in grow space is not a problem, but given CFL lighting uniformity of height across all 4 plants is probably important)?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. Whichever girls I end up chucking, they'll have no more than 5-10 white hairs on them at this point -- will they yield any hash at all or is that a waste of time given their youth?

Bad idea.

Why not just get the guy to write on his forehead - I'm growing Marijuana - come and bust me?

This goes against the first and most important rule of growing - tell no-one.

That's probably what I'd judge them on, uniformity of height and if you're using CFL's then the more compact the plants are the more light penetration will reach lower branches.

Nope, not if they've only been in flowering for 12 days.

wait! before you give them the old yeller treatment...

why not just find a nice plot of land for them outside? I say dig a hole, throw a lil time released ferts/soil in there (home depot has some 15-30-15 stuff for like $3.99) and come back at the end of the season to harvest.

and I agree w/ fdd

be carefull if you do put them outside. its not only people you dont want to find it, its animals aswell. i planted one outside. 4 days later i went to check on it and all that was left was the stem :(

Keep the bushiest plants that are closest to the same height as previously suggested. If you have a tall one that you are particularly fond of, you can LST it down to the same height as the others.

I would not give any away or transplant outdoors. At the end of the day, it is not worth the risk.

It's not the end of the world if you have to lose a few. Remember you can take clones off what you have left as long as you do so before they have been in 12/12 too long.

plant them outside if it is warm were you live. otherwise i would just smoke their scraps and dump the rest. selling them is dangerous business.

I've got some extras as well..just had to cut them and throw away. I could have sold them, but it is a pretty unstable strain (so far)..but always willing to swap friends (ahem, fdd)
