First Timer Questions

This is my first batch, and I'm sure I made some early mistakes. Somehow, I managed to get 11 healthy females 3+ to 5 ft tall in 3rd week of flowers but have outgrown my inside op vertically, (I did not know to pinch them back) I can safely move outside with the big ones, but is that OK since their light has been so strictly controlled till now? One beauty has 52 flowers on it and I am scared of screwing it up. I have Ed's book now, that helps. I also separated and harvested 12 big healthy males in bloom... can I at least make a batch of butter from these? They seem pungent and sticky enough. How close can the tops of your plants be from a 600wt hps bulb? Enough questions for now...Thanks for any help.

hey victor if its already going on full flowering you should just leave it as the hours outside right now might fuck with it. you can still bend in 3rd week of flower i do it all the time up till 5th week of flower. the trick is bend it near the top liike a coupla nodes down where the steam is stilll flexible and just tie her down. that should give you some extra vertical space

Thanks GT. I thought I had responded but don't see it here. I never would have thought. Doing the male butter now, 5 z's to 2 sticks. We'll see?

np and gl bro and wish i could help with the cannabutter but i have no experience with that
