I have to move my MH, should I harvest som...

[latewood]

Should I harvest some of the weaker or some of the decent plants?
or would it be better to finish them, but with less light...
Currently I have them under a 400mh and a 250 hps...I plan to move the mh to the veg room(new grow is ready++) and take my 2 45w cfl's and add them to the flower room 250hps
So, keep all plants and finish them under less light or harvest 2-5 of the smaller or less yielding plants, to leave more light for the good ones...
Any ideas, suggestions, or help is greatly appreciated...I am just throwing this out there for all you growers to hash over for future reference.thanks
later,peace

Sometimes a few have to be sacrificed for the good of the others if there's not enough 'necessities' for all. I think most would believe that as many that could be efficiently handled for the optimum potency/yield is the way to go, instead of having all of them just being sort of half assed. Although I don't believe potency has anything to do with flower size. When they're matured to the correct point in their life they're good. Makes no difference if they're small or large. Just less yield. At least that's what I think. But I'm just a rookie.

1 just transplanted this, looks a little rough
2 2nd transplant victim, 2 clones still have to be transplanted
3 dwc clones...windblown, accidentally left the fan on high
4 row of dwc clones
5 you think those are some healthy roots?

yeah, Marc, I believe the same thing, but with that said, wouldn't you think that finishing the others, even though small or weak, would work, because they have not reached their full potency, in other words, cant they sit in the second row and still get better and finish or is it a wasted effort beyond this point...thanks, Marc, Looks like you and I might go through some experiences together...we have a pretty cool group dominating right now!
I'm waitin for the heavyweights to chime in.
You and I get things pretty straight, this is my 4th effort(lifetime), but the only real effort and I must say, "I'm proud of myself, I tried to do it right and I made mistakes like topping some and not others...you ought to see all the metal cans and stuff I got propping up the little ones...but, overall this chit looks good...that one plant, I named Mongo is 7' tall and has 5 major limbs of BUDS...wait 'til I take it,s senior picture...I'm gonna move it all by itself and I will have to tie it up in order for you guys to see the whole damn thing...It's humongous...DWC Rocks
Anyway, look at my earlyveg clones, what do you think...do you like my homemade $10 bubblers

I'd be hard for me to hack some down without them being as potent as they could be. Even if they were smaller. If I had enough light to do 6 plants great and had 9 plants I'd do the 6 great and let the other three sort of tag along. It's not like they'd be stealing light away from the 6. Just getting some of the overflow. Then posssibly when you harvest the 6 you could move the 3 into better light if they haven't peaked yet? Sounds like a plan. Probabaly what I'd do.

Bubblers and clones look good! I haven't got to that point in this hobby yet. Just trying to get a succesful grow with a few females! 1st ended up being 2 males.

Was going to tie these down and do what I think people call LST or LTS or whatever it is, but think I'll just grow 'em like they grow and see how it works out. Just using cfl's so I'm handicapped. Or so they say. Seen some pretty good stuff from just fluorescents.

just be happy with what you have and all else will work itself out...I spent quite a bit,
but it was after research, so I got as much as I could...nutes netpots air line and started building things...I probably have spent 500 bucks, but I think i will get more than 5 oz out of grow, and there is the future, so it has been tight, but now I see light at the end of the tunnel...I just want one more 400hps...neverending list of wants
