hey , had a win with the jack herer/ nycd seeds managed to get 20 plants up , 8 jh , 12 nycd , potted them up yesterday in my soil mix in 8 inch pots , alls fine they look awesome , trouble is my plant numbers are escalating and i'm getting the jitters . to say the least . plus i still got 2 euro bud plants in flower .

so what i'm after is how to sort the best plants out , keep 1 female of each . in 3 weeks i'l clone the plants but that puts me at over 40 !

wot the - am i going to do , is there a quick way of doing all this ?

any input would be cool , thanks

No real "quick" way, but you could take clones of all the mums, root em under 12/12 in a separated area and keep em numbered so you can track em back to the mothers/fathers they came from originally. Then you can pick out the boys, piss them off, and pick from the ladies which one you want to grow on...

 

Ultimately though, you'll have to grow out something to its full potential to really evaluate it, you can only hope that the ones that you pick are good, but you should be fairly sure which is more vigourous and which will produce well from their vegetative growth.

 

Hope you do well everest, it's always great seeing your buds. I'll be most interested to see how the Diesel and the Jack come out.

thanks for the advise luke , will do what you say and keep you posted on the outcome the jack looks good huge leaves already , trouble is they all look bloody decent , gonna be hard sorting the elite few out though .
