No problem! Good luck man. You can get the form online and bring it to your doctor. I walked mine into the local office, but I think you can mail it in.

No, I "super cropped" them. I have heard this descibed a few different ways, but I just pinched and bend the stems. On the seed plants there is 4 knuckles. I also bent any of the shoots that got taller than the main stem, so there were quite a few knuckles on some of them. Some of the clones were stronger growers than others so they were bent more to try and get an even canopy. I only cloned the strongest two plants for the next pk run.
damn bro the stump looks great. strong multple shoots should give u sum good huge nuggs
Thanks man, yeah bro I am excited to see what they do this run with the extra training.

I watered tonight at 800 ppm and added another drench dose of azamax. I will give them one more dose at day 21 and hope for the best on the critters. I haven't seen any gnats so far, so that is a good sign. Last round at this stage I would see a few here and there at this point. The pk canopy is spread out a little more than last round and is now starting their stretch. MBS1 however is really trying to stretch. This is the one I was the most aggressive with on the training. I figure if I hadn't it would probably be another 2 feet taller. I am hoping it is just an early stretcher. MBS2 is stretching at about the same rate as the pk.

damn thats a full ass canopy bro hope u dont get overcrowded during this flower cycle. i know u weaved this time so hope that helps for support and more bud sites. but lookin green and healthy!
Yes it is pretty full, but I figure if I have to, I 'll take a few precious fans off. I really don't like removing healthy fans above the screen, but I may have to selectively remove some this round.
Thanks man, I lollipopped the bottoms under the screen, put no pruning above the screen yet. I took all shoots that didn't make it to the screen off. I actually kept 24 clones, but could have kept 100 they were so full. Like I said above, I will decide over the next couple weeks if I have to thin out any fans. I am torn between what to do when it comes to taking fans off, I think of them as little solar panels, but the growers bible says if they are blocking buds to remove them. There is so much controversy over this issue I am in a quandry. lol
I have a buddy that is growing some of the my pk clones and is 6 weeks into flower. He removed about half of his large fans and the buds look thinner than mine turned out. He was trying to let more light get to the buds. He is also growing 6 20 gal pots in 10x10 room, so his should have turned out bigger and fuller you would think.
So anyway, lol the short answer is no I haven't done any prunning above the screen if that was what you were asking.
I may thin a couple to see the difference.Edit : I also ended up with about 80 grams from buds under the canopy that were completly shaded last round..which show that they still receive lumens throught he fans. They didn't turn purple though, just lots of brown hairs and very sticky.

one thing i do want to point out that ive read and makes sense is the fan leafs are where nutes foiod etc is stored and is needed to fullfill photosynthesis and without the fan leafs no growth... the light in theory doesnt matter if it directly shines onto the cola. in theory u should focus the lumens on the fan leafs since itll feed ur colas. buuuut i dont have any experience with this and is just wat ive heard. (just more food for thought) maybe try diff methods on diff plants and see the yield diff?

I have read the same thing. It's funny you hear advice both ways and you see a lot of journals that they have removed 50% or more of the fans and have these huge buds. I do notice that the more light they get the more color you see on the buds, but like you said, if the fans get light the buds grow.
It is the big fans that block the most light, but they are also the one's that bring the most energy and sugars to the buds. Me likey big fan leaves. 
Oh I do tuck a lot of leaves. I figure even If I have to bend it straight down , it is catches more lumens than no leaf at all
