Take all the bottom growth off,This will allow far more effort going into the tops,Unless you make oil or wax hash ext

i have each plant trimed about a foot high from soil. these are roughly 40 inches tall each , i would like to cut up a bit more perhaps next grow, i usually have those bigger nugs lst'd down. i do have decent sized bottom nugs nothing too airy the ones that are will just be made into hash,tinctures, not to worried abt that anyways.

Are you flowering in 3 gallon buckets ?

Bro, get some 30 to 60L sacks or buckets and use them

Less plants if you can`t fit in so many of the bigger buckets/sacks/pots

Trim off more of the lower crap when you go into flower look at the plant any long shoots that don`t come off the main stem can be taken off from the bottom up to 1/3 to 2/3`s of the way up the plant, that`ll make it easy to work on anything at floor level, unless you like having loads of crappy leaf and bud to make hash with that can cause mold or bugs ?

I used to cram in loads of plants in smaller tubs was great for running loads of different strains but in the end when I wanted to get yield up bigger root zones bigger plants is always the best way, you can cheat a lot with hydro and I can get a lot more from a small pot than most but its a lot more work that way

no sir,
i have 7 girls in 7 gallon grow bags, the other 5 in 66 oz totes (4 of them sharing 2 66 oz totes), i never grow that way "sog" never cought my eye tbh. "JEBCORLIS" understands the "squeeze" type grow i am pursuing, i deff should of used more space in my grow room, but id say it takes a good 3 completed grow before its all dialed in, im very pleased with my grow. i am not going to worry abt that under growth bro, im already over week 7 on flower closer to 8, you actually think that by removing all that undergrowth would benifit my girls, at this late in the game? i disagree, not only will it stress my girls and put them in shock needing at least 3-5 days to recoupe, it wouldent benifit in my eyes, it would do more harm then good. i deffinatley see where your comming from, but as i stated thats impractical this late in the game. i know buds really start to pack on mass the last weeks of flower, perhaps next grow. with my circulation i have, i have yet to enconter any type of mold/bud rot issues with the 4 months ive been tending too... i work on them 6 hours every feed i think i would notice if so. i treat my girls with gnatroll, azamax early on to prevent bugs.

i have a method for flushing that eradicates stress and having to trasnfer to another room as that obviouslly adds stress.

Nah man I was saying for next time put them in with less undergrowth and you`ll get bigger tops now you may as well run it through be a lot of work to cut all the off and you`ll lose a lot of b-grade bud, b-grade is still work keeping once its that far along

Whats the dry weight, if its 2.1 good job! I can't do that (1gpw) in a crowded area with 3f tall plants with undergrowth. Usually the 1gpw comes from canopy management and heavy strains.

Buy miniature drone with miniature high intensity led. Program it to weave over under around and thru the branches while all lights running. That'll do it!! Merry Christmas:blsmoke:

Looking at your grow I think you might of either had weak genetics or a heat problem, your bud is pretty fluffy (trying to not offend) I would look to exhaust more air or use air conditioning next time if I were you. Congrats on a good harvest.
