Holy shit. Wow. I honestly feel sorry for some people.
Fwiw, I hate seeing threads where everyone is jumping on someone who obviously is having problems. There are better ways to get someone's attention without making them feel 2 inches tall.
Now, having said that, OP- you definitely are having problems. Firstly, everyone is being an asshole about it, but you are definitely being paranoid. I'm sure whoever cut it down did it intentionally, as it sounds like it was a big branch, close to the house, that was blocking a lot. But unless you have a glass front door and your plants right in front of it, that wouldn't do them any good. Are you selling out of your house? How many grows do you have under your belt?
Which leads me to my next point...and again, people are kind of being rough with this one, and I understand you getting passed BC plants are a point of pride. When someone says they look good, it feels good. When they say that they look like shit, it hurts. But sometimes its better to hear someone elses point of view, and try and see how you can benefit from it.
Bottom line, there are a lot of things you can be doing to help those plants. ESPECIALLY if you are doing this to support a family-you need to try and think of anything and everything that you can be doing to maximize yield, and maximize profit. I understand that those plants are sativas, but 4 months of flowering is just crazy. If you're a connoisseur, growing a full-blooded haze, then sure. But as a businessman, trying to make some cheddar--not a good idea. You could be running some indicas, and have twice the yield in half the time.
I see you have some LST going on (no one laugh. Okay, that was mean I shouldn't have said that). Seriously tho, that string on the wall? I can tell its there to help support the weight of the plants, and sativas are tall and lanky, but there are other things you can do to lake the branches strong, and the plant less lanky.
How high do you keep your light? You might also be better off next time by starting in a smaller space, where you can get the light close to them and get some nice, tight internodal growth. Keeping the plants from stretching will keep you from having a plant with buds on only the top half of it, and just 3 feet of stalks underneath.
I'm certainly not a pro, and I'be only begun to scratch the surface for things you could do to help your grow. If you are trying to make some money, then be smart about it. (That's the reason you're growing, right? Work smart instead of work hard). Do some research--its all out there. With the lights you have available, and the space (looks like a whole room) you should be pulling 4 pounds off of each harvest no problem. Its all just a matter of getting that grow dialed in.
And lastly--dude, if you're gonna be paranoid about growing, then don't waste your time with a mediocre grow. Its easy being paranoid when you're growing (and especially when you're smoking), and so if you are going to get paranoid, make sure that whatever it is your are paranoid over is worth it.
Good luck bro, I know with a family it can be hard finding the time to put in the work ton get it done right. But do yourself a favor, and take some time out of every few days to just READ. Use Google, buy a grow book, scour the internet--whatever is easiest. But learning about what you are doing is going to help you more than anything.
And BTW, you were kind of asking to get harassed on this one. You did title it "trolls only" lol.
