1817 McConkie vs 636 Minor.

Both same height, 636 is stockier with 3 true leaves. McConkie is skinny with second true leaf forming.

636 has 1250 Kline x 1059 Vincent-McGill crossed with 1662 Stelts genetics.

its really a "go with your gut" call steve. there is a reason you picked each of those seeds to start. They both are doing well. so you have to defer to reason you picked them and pick the one you like best.

I said it before...which ever you decide...half way through the season you will feel you made the wrong choice.What if?
Personally,at this time I would forget about numbers and go with the strongest plant.
Best of luck!

I'd go with the 1817 just because the genetics are newer.

Go with your own Steve. There is no greater satisfaction than getting a personal best with your own seed.

1817 McConkie - you may not get another chance

636 Minor - I say go with your own but if you have plenty there's always another year. But..... I bet if you don't grow it now you never will.

Again..... go with your gut as they say. Good luck with either!
