I have to many plants

Dimensional Entity · Jun 24, 2016

To many. I have 4 600 watt lights. But. 35 4 weeks veged out plants in 21 3 gallons. And 10 of them are 1 gallons. And 4 15 gallon . And I can't provide them all adequate light. At least I think. The rooms are packed wall to wall. Watering is time consuming. 5 plants are outside the zone and dwarfing in comparison. Should I chop some down. save myself the hassle and nutrientss and use the space to open each plant up. Or chop even more I just am looking for best overall quality. Rater then quantity at this point in time.

Well they just started budding and you are already running out of light it sounds like a lot of work for a very small bonus. I've tried to run extra plants along the sides the buds on the side of the plant getting light actually form into a little usable bud but even one bud past the end bud doesn't form a nugget just a leafy budsite. Also some strains kick nanners in low light. I think it is way too much work for any possible yield definitely thin it out in there.

I'd finish it out. You bought all of that stuff to chop them down? Put them into flower and finish it up man. The pay off will be worth it when done, trust me.

Go look for some small kid pools, sandboxes or shallow + wide totes. Do the math and figure out how many you can fit in there. Do the math on how much you usually have to water each pot. Fill a bucket or X amount of jugs with enough water. Dump the water in the totes or whatever. They'll wick it right up. Come back in 20-30 minutes and shop vac the access water.

Yah. I feel like no light gets under the canopy .I have that wet on wet leaf action going on. I already lollipoped them . I'm two and half weeks into flower with the big ones. I'd give away 5 if I could. It's a shame the cbd strain is the slowest and smallest requiring me to have one light low over the entire canopy as a whole.

Could thin the leaves out.

The small plant should be placed on top of something to raise it up to the level of the other plants. You can keep all the plants I've done similar and then you learn first hand. The other option is adding more light

I make a habit of not trusting people that say "trust me".

Lol

In my opinion, there is only a certain amount of plants that will be able to achieve enough light penetration to give you the "quality" bud that your after.
Since you are not after quantity and want quality.

There are only two options for quality bud.
Remove plants to allow the plants left over to have enough light to grow nice tight bud.
Or add more lights.

There really is no other way.

If you leave them in there, you will end up with small fluffy/airy bud that commonly called popcorn bud. You can make it into butter or something causing it ain't quality smoke.

Good luck mate, I know it's hard to remove pants.
But there's no point leaving them in there if they don't have enough light to grow nice tight buds.

In my opinion anyway.

It's really rather simple. Everything is relative to the amount of light and space you provide. 2400 watts is quite a lot. You can grow lots of small plants with a short veg in smaller pots or several large plants in large pots with a longer veg. Medium plants or mix it up. And you can train and lollipop. Honestly I've never gone that large. I liked the fast route with 2-3 gallon pots 12/12 from seed mostly. Just gotta decide how you want to go with it. Perhaps it's too late to train or whatever this time but plan your next grow well ahead start to finish. But When I grew it was just for personal and I assure you I can not possibly smoke all the weed from 2,400 watts. In a reasonable amount of time anyway. I mean that would be like maybe a decades worth of pot for me. Just saying.

He obviously over vegged.
4 weeks veg was way too much for that area and ammount of lights.

O'well, he knows for next time.
Veg less, or not at all.
Or train the plants as you said.
I flower straight from Clone ( Sea of Green ) .

Don't waste your time, people are slowly becoming illiterate. Soon we'll all be tim allen cavemen grunting at each other.
No one knows the difference between then and than, there, their, and they're.
Language is the tool we use to convey information, if you can't use the tool, you can't learn.

And I make it a point to never trust a guy with bad grammar. Listen all that I'm trying to say is that he should keep them. Ultimately it's his decision though.

We are group of people that like to grow Weed.

Is the use of their/there really a debatable issue?
As long as we clearly understand what someone is saying.

Smoke another fatty and get back into the garden.
