#2 needs to be shaped a bit more. Have been working on a branch, but it's being pesky. Fairly good spacing, nonetheless.
#1 is clearly the winner, not that i could easily reverse that decision at this point. The vertical shoots have more robustness. This plant can handle 12 colas -- filling them all out properly so far. Plant #3 on the other hand looks like it'd be better with 6-7 colas. Some have bent outward a bit and it has impacted their share of resources - more obvious over time.
You can see this in the canopy pics of each of the larger plants -- #1 and #3. Not sure if you can see how well-distributed mass is on #1 vs. #3 in pictures. The consistency is starkly different in RL. #1 is a monster that could easily be grown much larger. I'll stick to ~9 colas in future, though.
These are looking sexy - even better than first run. I see a tip that has a hint of yellow on #1 and it is shedding at least 1 lower leaf at moment. #3 looks healthier if push comes to shove, but development of #1 is head and shoulders above #3. Health is not a concern for any of these plants. Not immaculate, but close enough.
