To chop and get rid of or not?

[RugerBaby]

Whats up fellow growers?

I'm kinda in a tough situtation. I have some Mexican bag-seed growing and one is a very short indica dom. plant and the other is more sativa. I can see the indica dom. plant has waaay more trichomes and looks like its ahead of the sativa. The sativa still hasn't frosted up really, and there is where my problem lies. Its looking pretty weak right now.

I'm really thinking about just chopping it down or maybe throw it outside and let mother nature handle it from there. What do you guys think?


Edit: I'll post pics later, the CPU im on doesn't have any working usb ports.

Can't really help with the pics, but a sativa dom would take longer to flower, so I would assume it wouldn't frost up as quick as an indica dom. But if you have the option of placing her outside, why would you throw it away?

you got lights if so take care of it im assuming from what you decribed they sound 4-6 weeks budding so indicas got 2-4 weeks left and the sativa has 6-10 weeks just a guess untill you put up pics

Well that's another issue. I really don't have a set place for them outdoors. I would have to look around to find somewhere to place it.
I have some really nosy neighbors which makes it more difficult.

yes, they are at 5 weeks right now. Im gonna take my son fishing and when I get back I'll post some pics. Just felt a little discouraged when I compared them.

What would be your reason for chopping it ? it's normal that a sativa, which takes longer to flower... well actually takes longer to flower.

If you've get enough space to let it live, just put the indica on a upside down pot or anything else to put it at the same height, enjoy it when it's harvested, and high five yourself for another great harvest, possibly a more satisfying one, when the sativa is finally ready.

I dont get it........if you can go for the 2nd & 3rd choices, the 1st one is totally irrelevant....

lol, I was thinking the same thing. If I were you man I would just let them both grow out and compare in the end. I mean, why kill a plant that will yield you some bud, even if not very good. I guess if you don't have the room or something then I would probably suggest you chop it and throw it in your backyard for compost or something (that is as long as it is a well-hidden compost pile).

put her outside, its a spiritual thing!!

Just keep it if you have the space and harvest early if you have to. Or maybe it really is cull worthy if the plant looks low yielding and not good for indoor, ie too leafy, too slow, crappy looking non buds. I hope you get good seeds next time and clone.

I will say this though: I almost always regret culling even less desirable phenotypes because they could have easily filled some empty space and produced an extra bit of variety stash. I didn't have enough clones at the time.
