Much better pic,
I see you have already gone to flower so the best I can suggest is when warmth comes to your area put the under performers outside. They will go thru a slight shock due to the light change. But should continue to flower. That way you will not have to sacrifice any:)
But "warmth" doesn't come for six more weeks. Memorial Day weekend is customary outdoor planting in this area. Even at that, it's dicey. So, at that time I'll decide whether to transplant outdoors or to finish the crop, if I don't have to move some of them out first. It's all good. It's not like I pay for seeds.
So, in six more weeks they will be one the downhill slope to harvest. I hope to get some new genetics (Blueberry) to try with my next grow, which will also include Foxy Seeds genetics.
Thanks again JG,

I added a couple of side lights (warm white CFLs, 42 watt and 26 watt). I'm also considering removing some fan leaves as prescribed by JG.
If I can't pull a leaf behind a branch to keep it from shading a branch tip then I'll cut it off. Any other details about this?

You must live way up there in the great white north. I'm down in the middle and it will be safe to plant outside, in about 2 weeks is the last frost record, So I will be going outside soon.
I bet you will figure something out like you always do. I go by the principal any buds big or small are better than no buds. Hell I can't even kill a small cloan, I'll figure out a way to get some buds out of her and maybe learn something new.
Sorry Shov did not see your last post.
Is there a way to tie them back or just cut the leaf blade/s that are blocking the light?
But to be honest I have no problem cutting my plants in fact I prun almost all the fan leaves around week 4 or when the buds start growing strong. I know this goes completely against anything you have done. But you have seen the results I get. This is only a sugestion and may be worth an experiment in your case since you have so many plants. :)
Do you mean four weeks from now when buds form? I think that might be a good measure. I'll trim some plants and leave others alone.
If you could link to a page with pictures of your grow with the fan leaves tarimmed it would be great. (with dialup I could spend all day looking)
Thanks

Shov,
Sorry I didn't clarify, yes it is at week 4 or 5 of flower when I prune.
I can't figure out or this damn thing and it won't let me post a link. So the best I can do is post a pic of my second grow at week 5 around 5 days after I pruned.
I did look back at JG's log, thanks.
No pics today. I did feed with BC Bloom nutes, Neptune Fish emulsion and B1 foliar spray. I double potted one plant, ala BOG.
Also, I thought I'd experiment with the two plants that were snapped off at the top. I took all the branches and twisted the tops of each so they flop down. I forget what they call that, but it's all in the name of keeping the grow lowered.
Only one of the dozen plants have not shown pistils yet. I love it! All Females!
Have a good weekend, Loggers! I'm headed out on my motorcycle to scout the county. ;)

It's getting crowded. I hung another two lamp 4' 3000K T8 and broadened the footprint a little bit. Folded some leaves back but otherwise I'm letting them flower vertically. Plants are looking fine and healthy.
The transpire four gallons of water every other day. Nutes with every other water. I'm out of the Technofloura Products so I'm back to the Neptune organic fish emulsion for now. And the Technoflouro B-1, which I used for foliary feeding. Today will be the last of that (foliar).
