How's my chop job?

Well they literally pull off clean so it seemed an odd way to go about it.

I suppose a wound is a wound though so probably makes no difference.

Just never seen anyone do it, let alone just for the hell of it.
I do this a lot when I can't reach the plant very well, or if there's a site that I don't want to accidentally strip in the process. It makes trimming a bit harder, but that's about it.

Lights seems too intense .She seems stunt.Take a look at ur internode spacing on plant should give u an idea of grow rate pattern . Letting you know if light to strong or weak

Roger that! I've been saying they look stunted for a while...I messed around and had the pots on the floor not realizing at the time the temp down there was 62. I moved them up, raised the light and put a heat emitter on a thermostat in the tent. Light is currently 20 inches above the lowest sitting plant. The dimmer switch on my light is about 75%, should I take it down a little? Maybe 60 or 65%?

no harm no foul here. might as well lollipop it all tho instead of leaving some growth down low that isnt getting and wont get direct light.

not sure what the plan is, but i shape mine similarly. 4 in a 4x4. keep em low and flat with several nodes, veg for another 2 weeks or so from the size in your pic until they each mostly fill a 2x2 space, then throw em under 2 net layers and flip. lollipop again after week 2 or 3 of flower depending on strain, and sit back and watch the show
Noted! Thanks brother

Those plants are way too small to be worrying about lollipopping / pruning. Let them show you what is and what isn't going to make it to the canopy first. The entire plant is getting direct light right now.

What you don’t lollipop 6” tall plants at your facility?

I would do 50 -55% then go from there .75% should be just before going into flowering

A meter or at least a phone app really helps out.
