But to me they look pretty close. I'm not that experienced of a grower, so any advice would help. Here they are. Should I stretch em 11 or chop

I would push it a little more, a couple weeks anyway. Buds are looking very nice, pistols still reaching a bit so buds still swelling. I would wait until you start seeing some amber tricomes. Keep a close eye and when you see 10 to 15 % amber chop them down. The amount of amber is a personal preference. Good job on some nice looking plants.

ROFL, you are the first person I have seen say they don't want their plants to be bigger. I tell you, if your biggest issues with this grow is the trimming, which most people hate, than I say you hit a home run. bongsmilie
I got married in Oregon last month and picked some some very choice genetics, and a whole bunch of new nutrients and lights. I'm just itching for the next run to be honest. My wife is allowing me to convert the whole garage into a grow, instead of a 8x10. The rest of the garage has 16 foot ceilings. ;) . And it's a hassle throwing up bamboo and supports daily. Its starting to looking like a bamboo farm as well

They wont get much bigger, the buds will just get fatter. Next grow i would suggest leaving a lot more fan leaves on them.....
Ya I got carried away pruning. I have really bad adhd and ocd. (Main reason I got into growing) sometimes I find my self pruning away and not realizing how far I've gone. Other times i don't get enough. Or I get too focused on my nutrients and feeding schedule that I neglect little things like keeping the room clean as can be. I grow for my own medicine and also as therapy for the mental stuff. I appreciate all the Input. Most people will ask for input but get mad when they get it. I'm always up for input. I'm a newb.

Your welcome man and i know what you mean once you start it can be hard to stop. Glad your open to constructive criticism, the people that arent shouldnt even be here; this place is to learn how to do things better not just talk about how "fire" everyones plants look, thats what instagram is for. Lot of people out there growing shit weed (not that yours is shit) getting comments about how amazing it looks and they never learn how to improve their grow. We have all made mistakes and will continue to make them, but we learn from them and thats how we get better. All the people out there that do their first grow with a shit light in shit dirt because they "want to learn the basics." Well your not really going to learn shit because when you have a proper setup, weed grows completely different. Its like trying to grow corn indoors, not a fucking spider plant that you can just put in the window and water once a month. Sorry for the rant lol.

I just read the few posts. But I'm a butcher when it comes to plants and pruning. Indoors I take everything to the stem from the fifth or sixth node down by week 3 of flower. I remove all large fan leaves below the fourth node during veg as they develop. Outdoors I strip the bottom third and inside facing growth in flower. 002.jpg006.jpg004.jpg001.jpg

I started with a 300w Amazon special led block and a vivosun 4x4x5. It all went hermie. That's when I learned about light leaks and the ugly consequences of not keeping your grow environment clean. 2nd grow was the same setup. No hermies but I was still learning how to use nutrients. And man I would just pour up some random concoctions of things I've read on the internet lol. Didn't flush em for hell and I only dried for 3 days... Mistakes I won't make this round. Lol. This setup I'm using 2 1100 watt Cali ballasts with a hortillux super hps bulb and a hortillux 1k mh in the 2nd lamp. Added exhaust and a portable ac. It's currently in a 10x8 setup in the garage. After these run their course. I'm tearing it all down. Closing up the door. Reflective insulation board all around. 4 lamps. Thinking of running 4 mh during veg and going 3 hps setup in a triangle and a single mh in the center of the triangle for flower. I really like the effect it gave running hps mh together during flower. Iced tight and fat. Given this is my first go with hid lighting. And I'll never go back to led. So much I can do with the light angles and reflector manipulation. I've done alot of research on the light angles and using different spectrum at different time. But to be honest my brain won't let me break that down in to English. Soo I've been experimenting on my own. Anyone have alot of experience using hps and mh concurrent. Would I be better off going 2 hps 2 mh in flower. I would think 4 hps would burn my plants up. Suggestions? And I very much agree, insta is for likes and people who think they know it all. I'm just a guy trying to learn.
