Culling-Mental Block

[Saboo the Shaman]

Anyone else have a bit of an issue with culling plants?

I know it is a smart practice. Getting rid of plants with damage, unsatisfactory traits, etc will only make the garden stronger overall, yet it feels like I've failed every time I make the choice to cull. I feel like I have to get over this if I want to accomplish anything with my chucks.
I guess it comes from a general thrifty mindset, plus starting out with a limited number of feminized seeds. One seed better produce one harvest-able plant or it was a waste of time and resources.
Now that there are hundreds of seeds in the vault and many more growing, tossing out seedlings, or even flowering plants should be nothing. I am getting better at doing it, but damned it if still doesn't feel wrong.

Anyone else feel this way, or are you all seasoned killers by now?

I hate doing it too!

But sometimes in life, you have to do things you don’t want to do.

Having said that, I went to extremes to save MY CURRENT GROW rather than cull any of the plants.

Can't even explain how much it bothers me especially when its circumstance at fault and not a weak plant.

I Don't cull I decimate , it just feels sooo much better . Only the best see the flower tent and allows Me to pop more beans. Give in to Your bloodlust and it will no longer bother You.

I have a hard time trimming mothers. If that piece is cloneable I clone that fucker. Also shrooms have somehow connected me with mother nature. Tripping out in the trees they seem to connect somehow. Or maybe I’m just high. LOL

I hate to cull a seed plant given the price of seeds, it feels like throwing those $$ in the trash. Obvious exceptions are males and sluts with nuts.

I don't feel as bad about tossing a clone, but I do feel a little bad.
