Hello all very new. How would I crop these or do I yet? Or just let them go? I have no idea what these seeds are. Just playing around. They are in 5gal pots . Should I trans plant? Is it too late? Been waiting on seeds that have yet to arrive so been playing and learning with bag seeds

I’ll take any suggestions. It’s all outdoor btw

Outside growers usually don't top

But ultimately yer call

5 gallon pots are going to be hard to maintain during July and August.
Where are you located?

I'd transplant those girls, they look nice by the way.

Thanks...Well don’t know if they are girls yet. We are TN . Why are 5 gal pots hard to maintain?What size would you recommend? Putting in ground?

Put 'em in 7-gallon fabric pots, they'll get more oxygen. Before you put them in the hole, sprinkle a goodly amount of root stimulator Myconos or something like that, because they'll promote growing s huge root ball. And you know what the indigenous say, "No roots (massive root ball)... no Fruits!"
Of note: I grew my last crop in open-panel cages. I cut all of the fan leaves after 4-weeks in bloom. My mentor "farmer" said I had lost my mind. Cutting the fan leaves off told the plants that an animal was attacking them - the plants created more tHc to try and scare away the predators. My buds put out more trichomes on the leaves when they ran out of flower real estate. Here's a pic of the trichome fView attachment 4564335 View attachment 4564335that make great bubble hash. And then the cage-grow. I-hate-fan-leaves.... they hide buds from direct sun:

Manifolding (Menorah'n) Plants in a GreenHouse

I coined the phrase Menorah, because it describes a shape that everyone knows what you're talking about. Here's my menorah'd example. It has 3-sets of leaves on each side. It needs four sets of leaves. Then that 4th set gets topped. The originator of the "manifold" menorah recommends removing...

This is a bit of generalization, there's nothing wrong with topping outdoors. I know plenty of growers who do both. Some strains respond better than others.

Here's a cage grow from 2018. A plant from seed (not a clone) can be manifolded. The purpose is to keep the limbs tied down and force new growth exposing the branches to direct sunlight. I grew two strains from Ethiopian-Mauritius seeds. I cut-off all fan leaves after 4-weeks in flower. Drove my plants crazy thinking they were being attacked by animals, so they increased their ThC output. Having the buds in direct sunlight and not shaded by the sun greedy fan leaves made it easier to spray and clean. All the leaves I kept on grew massive trichome globes. Great for ice-bubble. https://www.rollitup.org/t/manifolding-menorahn-plants-in-a-greenhouse.969078/
