need help deciding which plants to keep

[del taco lover]

i have 13 plants growing in a 3x3x5.11 space and need to decide which to keep in my space. currently they are in the second week of flower. the strains are ak48 and ice by nirvana. all are female, but i wanted to know should i keep the tall, thin plants(with very few leaves) or the shorter, bushier ones...


since in only have a 250w in there id like to keep a maximum of 5 plants growing. also what should i do for the plants that i remove? i have a balcony outside with plenty of sun but since they are in flower now and spring just started not sure of the effect that will have....


thanks guys

I think you should keep the shorter bushier ones

keep them all!

keep them all!

if im going to keep them all, then here is my question, ussally when i see someone growing in a 250w or a 400w, they ussally have 4-6 plants. why is this? why wouldnt everyone grow as much as they can? i read its best practice to have 100w per plant.

Everyone has different goals with their grow. It all depends on available space and what not, we have a 400w HPS, but we're only growing to satisfy our personal use and are doing 3 plants

So its like a Sativa vs indica pheno showdown lol

I like a sativa buzz, tho they take longer to flower..

Its up to you, keep the bushy ones cause they take less space, and finish earlier than the skinny one, and you can make hash from the trim .. makes more sense to most..

usually you can tell which ones dont look healthy. any marks, defects, etc. show that the grower doesnt want those plants in their setup. they only keep the ones that are doing good and look healthy. that is why people limit their plants.
