Shitty situation

Problem: I have a little 5 site DWC going, started from bag seed and 3 popped out bananas, one is for sure female, one I'll know for sure tomorrow. I have 4 clones started from each (tossed male clones) in a small makeshift space with cfls. There is also space in the tent for 3 hempy buckets possibly 4. The 2 existing are about a foot and a half tall. I only have about 3.5 months left to pump out as much weight as possible.

Idea: I can take a few more clones, ditch the big ones using the tops for clones, and just start all over with 100% females and utilize my small cfl space and do 2 grows.

I'm open to any and all suggestions, I've racked my head all morning, I went from a forest to something that will barely get me a zip and time is of the essence. Thanks in advance

I know that this will set you back but i would take clone's of the female,and wait till they have rooted then hit it with plants you know are 100% female.

Or veg for longer and take clones of the bottoms and just grow one big ass one,that is what im doing now just one,but its a monster.

But take a few good clones of the bottom's,so your next grow is gonna be all ready to go,carry on doing the female you have,and if the other one you are waiting on turn out to be female then at least you still have two.

I only ever run two plants in one of my venues any how 2 lights 2 plants 2 lb dry,sometimes less is more,unless you are doing a sog flowering loads but small,

I can't let the big ones go full term, I won't have time to do both sets. Not to mention I only have one HID set up, I won't be able to veg the clones while waiting to flower the mommas, I'm thinking about chopping them all up once my current clones have rooted and rooting every single growth tip there is and going from there.

It's a space issue, and I'm done buying lights, or any more materials for that matter, I already over shot my budget on this one and still need a carbon filter.

I'm a huge fan of taking one and making it 31, culling out the weak and filling the flower room. Budget is just a word, you have the stuff for the rest of your life if you want. My first runs where really just to get equipment.. I'm finally over the hump and everything is paid off. Some knowledge, some time, and I'm back at zero.. Except I have a shut ton of equipment and plants to play with. Best of luck with the three month grow.., look at the far red thread if you want to condense the flower a few days.. Give you some cushion if needed

I know it but my job is seasonal and don't make very much over the winter, the weak ones I'm gonna give to a friend that I'm building a room for for 50% of first 2 harvest (teaching him to grow and giving him equipment)

Much Shit..! can be built at minimal ... cost

take a toke and think about it not that hard at all

I do know the kid who was the first to make his own DIY filter

over 10 years ago, about 5 billion have been built by DIY guys since

(hint hint) ....fish tank carbon, and pantyhose is a good start

I've looked in to the diy filters but with my HID lights I need real air flow = real filter, will probably do one for my cfl box though.

Let the big ones go full term, make your clones and veg them for a bit then move them in with the current bloom plants and let them finish off.

After making the switch to HID I will never veg past seedlings under cfls unless it's just fucking around or I absolutely have to. In 3 or 4 weeks ill have many plants the same size as the 2 I cut up, filling my tent up, then I'll throw some clones in the cfl box to flower early and pull an Oz while I wait for my lb to finish flowering.
