Ok today every time I tried to work on the girls today something happen. First it was my wife saying my grand daughter had a recital in less than an hour. I lost 4 hours there. It was at a park and got rained out.

I came home and ate dinner and finally got up to go down and looked out the window and here comes the sheriff. So I walked out front and asked what he needed. He was serving papers on a neighbors kids for truancy. WHEW!!!!

Came back in and set down and let my heart settle in my chest. Finally got back up and walk downstairs and the neighbor comes knocking. But finally I did get to water the little ones and bend the last big ones , I will fear the worse until they heal.

Here are a few pics. One of the big fan leaf for @EventHorizan its on Critical Kush. One is a full view of the size of these plants use the 5 gallon pot for reference. Others are some randoms

Thanks for the compliment. Yes I would like to remove some stuff but I really am not sure what to remove and what to leave. I better be figuring it out.

I am very pleased with the grow thus far. I was told when I first decided I wanted to grow that I better start slow because the first few grows would probably die while I figured things out. He had tried a few times and failed. BUT they did not have this great bunch of farmers helping them.

Thank you all for making these things grow, and teaching me along the way.

I know paw paw Zan will be able to guide you on what to remove. I can snap a few pics after work of branches I haven't trimmed yet to show you un lollipopped buds to help too.

I would appreciate that.

Would appreciate all help. I am going to spread the plants out just a little now that I have decided to keep the others in a separate room. But I have 2 autos that are going to have to go with the rest to 12/12.

Were you referring to @EventHorizan ?

Yea, he gave himself that future nickname jokingly and I'm running with it lol.

Well today I transplanted the small ones to 2 gallon pots they will finish in. They are under 600w and even though its not idea I am flipping them in 3 days. That will give them only 3 days in the new pots and they will be far from optimal but they are 13 inches with at least 4 nodes and have been topped. They will be crammed in a small space for such a small space and heat will be high in that room. I decided to go this way to get them finished earlier. Also more time between waterings to free time up for family.

I should have water the large plants before messing with the small ones because once I got to them I had some drooping. I left 3 of the six to defoliate tomorrow the ones that were drooping.

The three I did defoliate may have been done ok but I am sure someone with some experience would did a much better job.

If you didn't rough them up too much transplanting you should be good bro. I hope someone with more experience will guide you on what to prune. Looks good so far though. I know I ended up with a good amount of small larfy buds at the bottom and middles of the stems so I'm going to lollipop this round to avoid that.

All the transplanting went smooth, no roots disturbed really. I will have 16 in a 43" x 48" space with 8 colas each if the all make it to the top. I have a net but with it that crowded would it help at all. But I know nothing about it so opinion would be nice Papa Zan. @EventHorizan remember it is 5 different strains 4 of which are Sativa. All are relativity the same height.

As for the defoliation of the larger plants I read to tutorial and one suggested lollipoping while the other one suggested just thinning things out letting light get to the lower flower sights. Are larfy buds not better than none in that area?

On a bad note my son rolled his explorer this morning he is ok but its totaled.

 

[DrMcSkunkins]

I take off the whole bottom 1/3 of the plant, even if you take off everything but the very top leaves they bush up as soon as you flip and you wish you could have taken more somehow.

Wow, glad your son is ok! Larfy buds are taking energy from the larger buds to form. I'd rather have a zip of top colas than a half zip top colas and half zip of larf. Some strains stack all the way to the bottom but that comes with finding your keepers.

I flipped 12 days ago and supercropped a few days ago.

I will try to read on each strain more today again and see what ones are more likely to stack the buds farther down. None of these will be keepers as I have no more seeds of them. I most likely will only run 1 crop a year.

I am lifting each plant up and sitting it on a table to do this. Between the weight and awkwardness of trying to lift them I managed to jack my neck up and pulled something in my lower back, If I move the wrong way I get a sharp pain and somehow pain to the left gonad.

 

[EventHorizan]

Well i would have topped the plants 3 weeks ago. At this point, being new, i would just grow them out...
You have way to many plants in that area. Its gonna be very thick...
I would remove the bottom 3rd, and flip... then in week he can defol all big fans if he chooses...

So you have a history of back pain? I'm not a Dr so I'm nor giving medical advice but I deal with those pains daily. Been 20+ years. Possibly pinched nerve or herniation at L5-S1. I have pain in my groin area from a herniated disk at that point I mentioned. Take it easy for a few days and if it doesn't get better you may have to go in. Heat can aggrivate nerve pain so use sparingly

I am going to grin and bare it to get them thinned out today. With the six of them under the 2 600w I think I can get light through them.

As long as I don't seriously screw anything up I should end up with a decent harvest.
