First off, Thanks for all the help with my first grow. I've read the shit out of the awesome info here (as well as other sources) and I can't stress how helpful it has been. Many thumbs up.
So my issue isn't really anything technical. It is more logistical. Kind of a riddle....
I'll just run through my set-up, etc and lay-out my problem at the end.
Started with bag seed (I know I know), 6 total from two different sources (some grapefruit kush or something, not sure of the second) 5 of six germinated (as planned) and the 5 continue to grow very healthy. I started with 4-4' florescent, mix of super daylight and regular daylight (or something along those lines). Then supplemented those after about a month with 4 32(?)W daylight cfls from the hydro store until I could get a better light in there. About 2 weeks later and 3 weeks ago, I put in the 400W HPS and have seen some great growth. I am now at an impasse. All five plants need to be transplanted to larger pots asap. BUT. I cannot fit all five plants with the larger pots in my closet. I should note that future grows will only be 2-3 plants, I did 5 this first one to account for possible males. I really only planned to flower 3max this time anyway.
So, I don't mind transplanting all five but what do i do with two of them for about two weeks? (1 week to get settled into new pots + 1 week to flower to show sex). I also want to take clones of the females for my next grow (I have a clone box with the old floros).
If they all turn out to be female, I will probably keep 1 as a mother, flower 3 and toss 1.
I feel like I am crossing a river with three things that can't be left alone.

. Don't know, don't care what the last two are. Off to the compost pile. I'm fairly certain they were both males anyway as they weren't as full and grew thinner/taller than the others.
