We need to know more about your grow to help you out
Especially with the lighting and medium grown in.

If youre using fluoro lights ; how close are the lights from the sprouts.....beccause if they are too far away from the sprouts, the sprouts will stretch. If they stretch too muich they fall over and possible weaken their chances at survival.
If youre using HID lights ....don't get too close to the sprouts either
You'll just create toasted sprouts.
a good starting distance is 2 feet and then gradually lower your lights until things agree. I lowered my light an inch or chain link a day until I noticed the stress to begin. Then backed off by 3 and allowed growth.
That height was 19 inches for a 400watt HPS
I use fluoros now

So tell us so more about the grow setup

a strong seedling whould have very nice initial growth, doesnt stretch to much, stands up on its own, the stem is already begining to thicken...... i dunno pretty much just pick the nicest looking ones.... but if i were u, i would grow them out until i couldnt fit them anymore to make sure you have the most females and the healthiest plant .

Sometimes you just cant tell, in the past i have had a plant that looked like crap when it first popped. Even tho i never thought it would make it, i gave it a shot and left it in my garden. Well what do ya know, 2 months later, im in the flowering stage and BOOM!. outta nowhere this little baby turned into a monster... all im saying is give em a week or so then begin to cull them out of ur garden. its kinda hard to destinguish what one will be ur favorite when all u can see are 2 leaves. just my

Sometimes it's hard to tell a really good phenome until it flowers. Personally, I'd grow them out until their sexed, because it could boost your number of females.

As your seedlings grow towards the light, and produce more leaves you will probably be able to tell which is going to be a more efficient grower. Some seedlings start off by growing short, stocky stems and big, fat true leaves while the one next to it may have a longer stem and lousy growth. Usually if the stem is long and spindly, then it is stretching to try and recieve more light. You'd need to bring the light source closer to the top if this is the case. Best you can do is wait, watch, and hope!

Plant some of those bad boys(girls hopefully) outdoors. Build a mound in the middle of nowhere amonst heavy brush and pine and plant those suckers in there. Come october, you could have enough smoke to last you a long ass time. Monsters man....6 feet or more of colas and enough trimmings to make ounces of nice bubblehash. I have not enough seedlings. I have about 17 seeds in papper towels that wont sprout. They passed the crush/color/size test and only 4 have popped. They've been in there for about a week now. Bull$hit i tell ya. Better to have too much than not enough.
