After you've selected phenos, and while you're cloning, does it make a significant difference whether you're taking clones from lower branches that may be under-developed from not getting enough light; or a cut from a plant that stretched? I suppose they don't all get a fresh start, clones probably have baggage (including any infestation the mother/donor has (e.g., spider mites)).
Do you continue to make exclusions from among plants of the pheno you selected? It makes sense that you would, you're selecting healthy plants. It's just that, while you're cloning for yield/quality, you're also considering the total # of plants to bloom at any given time; so if you're running a handful of strains, you may be in a better position to be selective after you've reached your desired plant #s. I don't know if that makes sense, it's the balance I'm struggling with now.
But if it's a waste of time to continue particular cuts/selections, tell me now (otherwise, it looks like several more months of wait & see). Thanks.

Also, plants shaped weird ... currently, I'm using them as "fillers" to give selected plants more time to veg.
