9 x Dutch Dragon - 1 x White Russian - 600W HPS - From Seedling :-D

So anybody with bated breath ? Maybe the newbie girl killed this wonderful project ?
Guys - I could never do this. I really love these babies. I think I will have to cry while
cutting them down on harvest day.

So i had bad sleep the last three nights about doing it or doing it not.
So I decided just to do it with one of the dutch dragons.

I was so nervous doing this I forgot to make a photo how she looked before....

Here is her left neighbour:

While starting this action I noticed there i already more bud going down the leafs than I thought.
I took about I would guess 35 percent of the leafs.

Here are the victims:

What do u think ? I am so curious what will happen... Like a Child on X-mas I can't wait :-D

While doing this I made some new other photos: - So Day 30 since 12/12
35 Days to go (planned - realistic ?)

Is it too crowdy ? Working on the others like the one dutch dragon ?
What do u think ?

And my personal picture of the day:

Looks good to me GB. Nice work. I think you demonstrated a nice balance to your approach.

So should I do it this kind to all the plants ?????

@Chromophore: By the way - Did your Data Logger arrived yet ?

That does look crowded GB. I might consider doing some gentle thinning on all of them if I were you. You probably are seeing some Chlorosis on the under leaves? I thin my canopies to alleviate that problem myself. My mama plant is due for another "haircut" just for that reason.
Get out the clipper's GB...just be gentle.

OK OMB - I will do it tomorrow. Making a lot of Photos. Maybe they will help other newbies like me ;-)
In such situations - when I don't know doing something or not. I recognize that I am a newb.
(Maybe with good preparation - but still a newbie girl) I simply don't have comparison data.
And I don't like situations like that. But right now I am looking to a photo of day 25 and a photo of day 31
and how should I say - I am really happy everything runs like that :-D

Less than two hours till the babies wake up ;-) Getting nervous again, but with a good felling :-D
Photos of the work comes later...

Wanted to make a lot of Pics - But that was complicated - I had to take the ladies out of the tent.
And then there was no space to make photos. Sorry for that.

But I shot a few ones:

I am not sure if this was the right thing :-(
Hope everything will turn out well.

But the good message is. There is already a lot of bud producing in the field ;-)
