Should germinate all five seeds

I've got 5 feminised seeds ready for new grow but only enough space to grow out 3 plants to maturity. Should I try to germinate all 5 and then pick 3 or save a few for another time. I've been told that the seed breeder I got them from (barney's) has a tendency to produce hermie plants so I'm worried that if I only do 3 then one of them might be a hermie or a runt but at same time don't really want to just waste seeds. Usually I grow from cuttings so not to experienced in all this. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks

Are they regs? I do 10 seeds at a time.
Once you weed out the males, and decide 1 or 2 are too slow there arent many left

No fems

Pop 3..

Use three in tent and use one as a test sample or mother and save the last one JIC.

With fems, just pop what you need & fill in the gaps if any don't pop after, say, about 8 to 10 days.

Pop all the beans, make space later. Builds character.

Spoken like a man that doesn't have to answer to a spouse LMAO I like your style. But such reckless behavior would get me killed, lol!

I am lucky to have a wife thats Ok with it. I’ve ramped up to 40-50 at a time but that butts up against the limits of my own laziness

I'm a cloning freak so I would pop 1, top her at her 4th node, once the cut is big enough to clone. Give it about a week and pull clones from the branches, of the now "mother". Yeah it can take a while but it's the best way I know to stretch a seed supply.

Killer idea that I wish I'd implement more often. I'm impatient to see what seeds will do.

It's what I do on the last seed or two. I've been trying my hand at fem seeds to save what I know i like.
