Yeah rusty that would of been a better way to do it or wait another week for the lower branches to grow a little, I was too hasty i know, should of done better research. Just wasn't something i'd thought was important. I'll know better next time.

I do have 2 grow areas, the one they're in now is actually the flower area but i'm using it to veg as it's a bigger than the veg area and has a 250 hps in it, the veg room is tiny, about 2'x1' and only about 2.5 feet high with 125 w enviro, I was thinking i could keep one in there and have two veg rooms and when i flower the four in the flower room as soon as i get a male replace it with the one still vegging, but 3 more weeks till i can start flowering then 1-2 weeks till i find out if i got a male, they're already 5 weeks old, i'm pretty sure my tiny veg room coulnd't handle a plant thats been vegged for 10 weeks lol

So the questions flower in a week or throw one and risk having one fewer females in the flower room.............................

Ok so lets look at is mathmatically, outta the 5 plants i have lets assume 3 will be females, 2 males, but the one i've thrown is a female so i've only got two females in the flower room. Right, so lets say assuming i have a successful grow I get 2 oz per plant, so 4 oz total from the 2 plants.

If I do things the other way and flower in a week instead of waiting for three i get to keep 3 females. So what would i lose in yield? I can afford a 30% decrease in each plants yield and still end up with more total nugs from the extra one plant.

Obviously if you change the assumptions that I'll get 4 females the loss of yield will be less than 30% for it to be profitable if you like. But 3 sounds like a reasonable average number to use. The only thing that i've no idea on is the % of yield lost. What do you think? What percentage of yield would you guesstimate i would lose if i only veg one week?

Oh and also i'd be gambling on if i throw a male or a female, so that would come into the equation also.

Thanks guys
