I can grow 12 of the same strain and end up with only 4 to 5 that are worth smoking almost a waste of time unless your growing a hundred plus plants It takes the fun out of growing
Just grow the five âworthâ smoking is what I would try. Or work out what the difference between them was. Clone the good ones maybe.
Cant clone there in 6 week of flower !!
Yes you can. Itâs called monster cropping.

Its comes down to crappy phenotype Every strain i grow Im lucky to get one plant thats worth smoking everything else goes to the compost pile not worth doing anything with weed that has zero buzz .

Itâs something else. Iâve had a 98% germ to harvest with ILGM seeds as have most cultivators here in the community

Do you still only have a 1000 watt hps
@RedEyEs66,
I like to keep a log book to follow my keepers over the years. With the goal of always improving your stock. No one can do this for you (unless you are Jim Belushi ha). Have you ever tried taking a small clone early in veg? They need minimal care and are a nice backup (dog sat on my plant for example) incase the worst happens. But more importantly, you have a backup incase something is great fire.
I agree monstercropping takes a while. I have been fond of pollinating those in the past while waiting for them to reveg. They readily take pollen, will reveg, and ripen seeds at the same time. I have done it a bunchâŚmakes it less of a time waste with seeds too at the end.
In you run the females and take no clones, itâs the luck of the weed gods. Some will always be better than their sis. It doesnât matter if itâs 30$ pack or 300$ pack. If you had small clones you would save time with selection actually. VS popping a new pack, growing it out, drying, and selecting. And still chucking half to the red wigglers. What if you knew all 6 (or12) lit you up last time. No wasted space or time this time.

I have been doing 1 plant and take clones from that and root them and grow the clones. They grow faster and seem to be a little better growing than a seed plant I have found the same with growing the same strain and do like 4 seeds and all 4 will taste and smell total different from one another. But thatâs genetics for ya. Super good genetics. More expensive usually will all lean close to the same with all the seeds finding a good mother for strains unlike takes a minute to do lol and alot of dropping of seeds. When u find that one monster crip is the way to keep it around. It donât require alot of light or alot of space really just a consistent light 24 7 for a while til revegged and rooted any cheap 30 to 50w light will be great for a veg light as long as it donât have alot of red look. More blue is better for vegging

That reminds me of the time my kindergartener asked âwhy her kindle kept dying.â I replied âbecause you forgot to put it back on the charger.â Her response was, âI donât have time for that daddyâ. My response,â I am sorry to hear that.â
Sorry, not trying to be an a**hole. Selection for better plants is a long game in my humble opinion.
