update:

I pruned the hell out of plant #5. I decided to just go ahead and harvest it in 1 week instead of 2. I did a heavy pruning of the popcorn budlets and the plant finally looks like how it probably should've looked all this time.

I put all the budlets in a trash bag and filled it about 1/3 of the way (13 gallon bag.) here are some pics of plant #5 now.

I'm not too concerned about herming. I'm going to keep a close eye on her to make sure to get it out incase it herms. Actually a more accurate term would be I would gently remove it from the grow area and then just chop it.

I am unimpressed with this plant and I'd rather have the room for my other plants to put on more resin/more weight. The big plants sits right in the center of the room hogging up all the good light.

I've been thinking about chopping this plant for the last 4-5 weeks. My only regret is that I didn't chop it back then instead.


Pic 1: Plant after heavy pruning. Doesn't she look pretty now?

Pic 2: Same as above

Pic 3: Overall shot of the budlet "trash".. the small cola over to the right is pretty decent. Small nugs but really crystally. I'm saving that one to dry/cure. I didn't mean to cut it but might as well go ahead and smoke it if possible.

Pic 5: My hand in the picture to give a reference of mass/amount of the budlets I cut off the plant.
