Porkchop

I've got a good grower on one of my plants...should I cull the first one on the plant?..it's maybe 3 lbs...the grower is maybe 4 and two weeks-ish younger...or will they grow to whatever they will grow to?..it's straying a bit from my plan of setting on each truss but I'll cull if it means growing the bigger one bigger...thanks

Keep the one that is growing better, or that you like better. I had one that was growing pretty good on one of my plants, and then another one about a foot or so above it but that was younger. I liked the way that one looked, and decided to keep that one. I am happy with the results so far.

The one that I cut off was about 13-15 inches in circumference. The one I kept was about 4 inches.
