Should I Yank Them or Keep Them?

@Badfinger

Your timing is on today. I just posted the following to my Grow Diary (not on AFN this time).

Day 35 - Last Minute Call From the Governor ...

A few days ago, I decided to wait until Day 35 to decide on pulling the gangly and low-node Purple Lemonades.

Right after making that decision wouldn't you know, Purple Lemonade #1 jumped into flowering.

I'll take "fear of death" as a motivator at any time.

On the other hand, PL#2 is lagging.

In all fairness, Critical Purple and Gorilla Glue are not in flower yet either. Although, they are busy making noticeable flower-making areas.

This "live-or-let-die" decision was made easier because I had 2 more seedlings in the wings. Although, I may be back to one seedling if my Cheese XXL doesn't improve (pics to follow).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Even better news has happened since I type the above.

I got in my Gnome Blackstrap seeds just a few minutes ago from Gaslamp. Meaning, I don't care if my "Cheese XXL" walks the plank.

Heartless, I know. I've been waiting to get my hands on some Blackstrap since learning about it.

Anyway, back on topic.

Bottomline, Purple Lemonade #1 has earned a delay in her voyage to Valhalla. She is flowering and seems to want to live and produce. I trimmed the lower crap off this morning. That means at least 6 bud locations are in her control now.

First, let's take a trip down memory lane with "Skinny & Minny."

One thing you'll notice is that PL#1 (front one) has shot up even taller. It must be its version of a stretch.

Even so, I'm not making a decision until I get a flourishing solo-cup seedling(s) in the wings.

I have a 2 x 4 tent I use for germination and limited vegetation, so it is going into action over the next couple of weeks.

Blackstrap is going into a shot glass tonight. I can only grow 5 plants, but I can have a lot more that are under 6 inches.

Pretty soon, I'm putting all these seedling ladies into a kiddie pool full of Jello ... may the best one win.

If I pull PL#2 I still have 2 places remaining to grow.

Ok, I finish out with the Cheese XXL seedling issues. I think it just needs water, but it may have gone too far. I'll know in a couple of days.

Here are 4 different angles.
