Need to make room for new flavors? 3 Yes-or-No Questions To Identify Your True Keepers

Most growers either:

Never take cuts or keep average cuts around for too long, preventing them from popping new seeds and running new flavors.

As a hobby grower, space (and resources) are limited, so you have to be selective.

You don’t have the luxury of unlimited plant counts and thousands of square feet of grow space to play with. You don’t have mom rooms and clone teams and tissue culture freezers.

When it comes to keeping genetics around, there’s only room for keepers.

A general rule of thumb is if you won’t miss it or use it, it’s not worth keeping around.

3 Questions to Ask to Decide if a Cut’s a Keeper:

1. Do I like this cut for qualities no other cut offers?
2. Do I have space to keep this cut around?
3. Will I flip or use this cut in the next year?

If the answer is Yes to all 3 of these, it’s worth keeping around (at least for one more cycle).

Otherwise, it’s a shiny object taking up space.

Once you’ve cleaned out the stable, you can start hunting for new flavors (and keepers).
