"always Too Many Plants" Syndrome

[Joe Fresh]

does anyone else have this? i always seem to have way too many plants, the last few runs i have between 2-400 plants too many that just sit on shelves in different rooms of the house and kind of stay in limbo with no real place to go ...lol...

like right now, both my flower rooms are packed, 16 plants in 7 gal pots in one room, and 70 plants in 1.5 gal pots in the other....plus i got 5 mothers, 45 seedlings of different strains i just started, as for clones...i have started just using rubbermaids with scelofane over them, they can fit almost 200 clones in each...got 100 jean guy clones i made, 75 deezyD clones i made, 40 sour berry clones i made, 50 Dberry clones, 40 lemon haze clones, and 35 unlabeled indica ....on top of all this i have to take about 5 clones from each of my 45 seedlings later this week.....i just dont know what to do anymore, i never have enough space, and spend all my time trying to expand, if im bored and see a shelf with space, i make clones just to fill it saying to myself "well atleast im getting something done"...but reality is, i got more clones than i know what to do with right now....starting to think i should open a clone shipping business lol...i seriously dont knwo what to do with myself anymore....i think i have a problem

not really, dont know any patients, and i just gave away 40 clones to a buddy i got started last month...dont really know any other growers in my area, the other ones i do know i sell them clones at 5$ each, they take 200 each every 3-4 months

outdoors is the plan...but i just have way too many plants, with not enough plots...wish i lived in the states close to some of you cool cats, then im sure you guys would know what to do with them to help me out lol...right now i got until june before i can plant outside lol...so a little time still

So yes bro @Power OG and myself just had the conversation. How does one choose cuz they are all fire. Sick thing is I want more lol. Not out of greed either it's straight up love of the plant. Like I got a small spot just waiting for the deezy d just on the left of the veg area. Kidding but not really lol. Can't stop wont stop here's to all the guys like us who complain about space but still find some. Respect and good vibes bro!

as a grower i've gone through this and continue to go through this as well. i always make so many clones and way more than i need. the problem being sometimes not all of my clones made it. always either short 2 or short 12. when making the correct number of clones. so i went by the numbers game. MAKE AS MANY AS I CAN AND TAKE THE BEST ONES. and after i do take the best ones and transplant them. i have another dozen or two. that eventually root later. and then i transplant those in case some of the transplant come out as strong as i'd like it to be. but then sometimes they do and sometimes they dont. and so i'm thinking this plant is perfectly fine. why throw it away? when i transplant again and if it doesnt come out good, i can always just add another plant to make up for it. and so i'm doing this over and over untill im flooded.

also i've now learned i'd rather be late than tooooooo early. because once a plant goes past 5 weeks (at least for me) it's way too big and i dont wanna top them because it's just way too big for me now. i'd rather start topping them while they are shorter and get perfect plants than plants i can no longer tame.

and in the past and now i've always made many more clones than i need because well. who knows? when things dont go your way. (which happens a lot in this business) that's always (to me) going to be a good problem to have (way too many clones). but if u have TOO MANY strain batches started. yeah it might start to get overwhelming. and throwing away perfect plants is always cringing. But alas we all have a farm to run and what needs to be done needs to be done.

IF you have friends that you trust with your strains tho, that you dont mind giving clones too, that'll work as well. i'm always giving extra clones away to my buddies if i dont need them and they do. they always take em too because they are lazy to clone themselves. or they suck at it. haha. (some of my buddies clones dont look as great when they clone) so they embrace my clones with happiness. haha. but yes i'm sure we've all been there and have done that. it's common. we just dont wanna ever ever ever ever be short ever again. and if we are, we'll veg them out and put them into biggger pots.

if you're playing the seeds game however. i know what u mean. it's like making alcohol. u make a shit ton of batches and label 1-10 having each individual number a pheno. and picking the one u like out and deciding whether to keep it or not. I find that really time consuming. but at the same time, u might find THE ONE, and be able to have your own "said strain" and have the BEST one of said strain as well, in terms of weight and potency. you just might hit the lottery!!!! but that's a journey that you will have to go through and organize yourself. and can be a big giant mess if not on top.

if anything i'd write out a plan. and stick with it. whether on computer or paper. i'm one of those guys that try to calculate everything in my head and keep mental notes. which i'm pretty damn good at. but i find writing a memo and planning things out works pretty well too. but yeah. i feel u brother. i've been there!!!

and a ware house is VERY nice. im sick and tired of all the tight spaces. i wanna be able to walk through my grow without touching or rubbing against trays. and just being able to get things in and out of the rooms without scratching walls and shit too. it's a pita. working in a warehouse would be such a dream come true. all the space u can imagine. racksystem with cfl lights for ur domes, trays strictly for vegging plants. 1 tray specifically for a few mothers. and 4 4x8 trays for young and teens only to be transferred into the flower room. that would be very nice.
