Question on outdoor plants that have re-vegged

Hey guys so i have 3 girl scout cookies that i think i messed up by moving them around to catch more light as seedlings. As i put them in their final spot to grow big they started flowering way too early, obviously due to the 2 hour light difference. They then started to veg again so they have tonnes of 3 trifoliate leaves.. Last year my friend and i were growing a plant and it also revegged but we didnt know any better lol. So i trimmed the leaves quite drastically to allow more light to the buds, needless to say i think it damaged the harvest a bit.

My question is do i trim the girl scout cookies to get more light to the buds or do i just leave them as i know that the leaves are the solar panels to the plant.

Please veterans! Let me know what i must do!

I purposely let six outdoor plants reveg last summer, monstercropped actually. They turned into thick assed bushes. I had a hell of a time pruning so I just lollipopped the bitches. Long story short, my yeild was less than previous years when I just topped and LST with the same strain. Maybe I didn't do it right, but I won't try revegging in the summer again. It's a real pain in the ass. JM2C

Defoliation can definitely be a benefit ... tho some people really over do it and end up damaging the plant. When I do it...I do it sparingly and try to focus on the middle or leaves that are touching buds.

I'm actually revegging all my plants on purpose indoors then once they get new healthy normal growth will put them outdoors. I think it really hurts yields on most plants when they reveg outdoors.

What happened if I understand this is you had them growing in sunlight this time of year. Outside a plant veg's until the summer

Sorry pressed wrong button.
Veg's until the Summer Solstice on about June 20. After this the days get shorter promoting flowering. Tried growing early which does increase plant size but buds are better if you hold off until that date. Just trim leaves to clear the center so light can go everywhere. Try LST or super crop depending on variety either helps with height control for camouflage. This is how those trees grow they show in books and YouTube. It will still flower come fall. Try an indoor grow and flowers get nice in about five weeks.

He's in the southern hemisphere, it's summer there.
I never defoliate outdoors. You can always bend the stem of the leaves, put a kink in them kind of like supercropping.

Yeah, sounds about right.
The point about camouflage is well taken too.
@Joncoh101 I know SA legalized, but you have to be sure of your neighbours, I had a plant get stolen this year, she was more than a foot taller than the fence. I'll be keeping them under 2 meters in the future.

Yeah man but we have electric fencing here lmao, but im gona keep the plants lower than the wall. Im actually hoping the gsc gets pollinated by some land race or something just so i can keep the seeds for next season and they will grow a little more aggressively. I do however have one more original feminized gsc seed that i kept to keep the true genetics.

So here's updated pics. 3 in the ground: closest one is mad scientist. Back two are bag seed which was aparently lemon kush or something. But I think it's probably some landrace vibe. Most of our cheap outdoor weed comes from Swaziland and is smuggled in over the boarder in bricks. We pay around R10 a gram. Which is really cheap, like less than one US dollar lol.

The other 3 small green ones are the gsc that revegged. There's so many leaves and stuff and it's so bushy wouldn't even know where to start to trim them

Sorry for all these one liner replies but i keep remembering what i want to say lol. You cant really see in the pics of the gsc girls but they are tied down to lst the branches down.. But they just grew a whole lot upwards so the branches are literally sideways but have grown shoots upwards. I want to trim but im just worried man, the beautiful thing about life is this has all been a true lesson and im getting better and better at all of this. Most of my problems have just been based on them flowering too early. Next season will be different
