Unbelievable, now I'm wondering if I should keep all of them or will it get too crowded? It seems a shame too have to cut a few out. Should I just let them grow? I have 1 monster and 1 runt and the rest are all about the same. I have plenty of light and full mylar.

I grew 6 females in the 6 gal SH unit. I had to do a lot of pruning and lst'ing but they all finished. I had to use a lot of cfl's for side lighting since they were so think. I wouldnt do it again but I'd try and keep all 6 growing if I could. Shame to waste a lady. However, I might pull the runt if I thought the others would overrun it.

Thanks, I thought about pulling the runt but why even bother messing with it and separating the roots? Did all the pruning adversly affect your plants growth and final outcome?

I'm growing 3 in a SH tub. I added a reservoir below the main reservoir. They're in a triangle formation. I couldn't imagine growing more than that without some serious pruning.

I was wrong. A week later and now I can see what I thought were all females turned out to be 2 males. So I pulled the runt and 2 males and 1 weak female leaving me with 1 monster female and a medium one. No more crowding problems. This was a good little lesson. I accidentally kinked the stalk of the monster while moving it. I made a brace out of toothpicks taped to the stalk , hopefully it will heal.

Probably felt like the time I was tightening the strings on my soil LST and snapped my main stem right under the fatty cola 3 weeks before it was finished
