yeah, im ok with the hijack,,,,Yeah, i like what goldberg is saying about taking cutting of the 5 when putting other four into veg, then taking cuttings of those. I have two rooms (or will have by the time they're ready for flower, hopefully!!). So i just need my flower room and veg room? Any other considerations? Thanks for all your help.

thanks bro, green and i catch up when we cross threads lol

two rooms and a mother space and youre fine, a clone from a clone is fine but if you keep cloning you get genetic drift, try and keep a mother

If space is an issue then u do wot u need to do if your room is 1m+1m then ur gonna need every bit of space uv got imo y u planted NINE seeds when all the area u have is as mentioned.I honestly don't no wot u were thinking did u buy the seeds ???????
Don't much like the idea of taking cutting off of cuttings not good mate...
Wow! Not to be rude but wtf are you talking about? Taking a cutting from a cutting is fine and many people do it and keep strains going for years. Also your first post re "why plant so many"? Probably to pick the best pheno out of a few that he will get from seeds would be a start.

Goldberg ur thinking is sound but let's not forget this is a first time grower as I am and still anouther room would b needed for it method..
I completely understand you asked for options. That's why I left the most important sentence for last. I decreased the size and scope to the minimal needed to keep all 9 and carry on. Beyond that choices get painful when you don't know what's at the other end of the plants life. One thing I'd mention is it's not always the tallest plant or the biggest bud that you'll find to be the best. Keeping cuttings only requires a small t5 unit or something similar and they can be had for around 100 bucks with bulbs. Just plug it in and go. Good luck on your grow. And may "the force" be with you making those choices. The best and worst part is the same. 1 what you don't know can't hurt you. 2 because you don't know your mind might not make it that easy. I usually take 2 grows to make my final choice. I'll pick the top few and cull the other cuttings. Then on grow two I'll make my choice based on notes pics and of course stored and labeled samples. bongsmilie

so space for mother plant needs to be seperate to veg room? Thanks again for the help....
Not at all. Veg is Veg. But the mother plant will be able to handle more powerful light. Cuttings are delicate. They need light but to much at that stage causes damage or death.
