LOC NAR -

On that canopy comment, can you expand? I was thinking, that next time I would indeed start flowering at 18" but I was also thinking that once I started flowering, I would also prune back any new growth at that point as well. In fact, I might even prune back all vegetation other then perhaps fan leaves that don't look like they will produce bud. I was talked into not pruning anything back but obviously I let them get too big. Would I have been better off clipping the tops and lower vegetation to ensure the plants don't outgrow their space? I believe my grow space is slightly smaller then most at 2x3x7. Obviously that space only allows plants of so big a height so next time I should aggressively prune to make sure the plant doesn't waste energy or block the light.

My wife thinks I should take a pair of scissors and clip everything into a giant crock pot with 2 cups veg oil. I tried this once before with 4 sticks of butter and a 1/2 an Oz, that really turned out bad. The green and seriously nasty butter made me gag so hopefully using veg oil will come out better. Any other thoughts on how I should covert this?
