Help Selecting A Mother

[macnasty]

Hi!

So I've got 3 ladies growing from seed. Already sexed them and they are confirmed females. I'm trying to select one to mother, and I've noticed that one of the three is significantly more robust than the other two. She grows faster and has already provided me clones whereas the other two have yet to produce side branches long enough to cut clones from. They are all the same exact age. My question: is this a clear indication of a superior plant? Do I have to wait until the clones are all flowered to determine which of the three potential mothers is truly the best one? I'm not quite sure and have no prior experience to selecting mothers and could really use some expert opinion. This could potentially save me months of further selection as I would instantly mother the robust plant rather than wait 3 months for the cuttings to root, veg, and flower. Thank you kindly.

Are they the same strain?

Clones keep the traits of the mother so if you want, you can take clones and make sure they root, then flower the mother to see if you like the way it flowers, dries, cures..... You might like the way it's vegging but might not like the over all end product, only you will know. If you have the time, patience and space, I'd take cuttings from all three, make sure they root, then flower the original seed/mother plant. This way you can see how the end result with each plant and then decide which you want to keep.....and save the time you said you don't want to wait...... Just a thought......

Happy Growing!!!
