Then you need to give them more water when you feed them or , get your temps down.
You can not water everyday, later you will get issues.
Have faith and do it umbre.

They were very thirsty laST NIGHT AND drank alot of water.. I flowered on 12/26 and now all the books I read say keep my HPS about 6-8 " away for the rest of the grow. As along I dont show any light burn is this distance ok ???

12/26 would make your days 38 hours long ?
Sorry to say this but cut down that herm and start over,
As far as light height goes you need to put your hand on the highest part of the plant and if it is uncomfortable for your skin its to hot for the plant.
I am assuming you bulb is hung horizontally.

Horizontal yes, not hot @ top of Canopy when hand is there plus my hood is air cooled.. I think i will be fine but will continue to check daily .. of course.. I eat drink and sleep these babies. For the last 7 days the light has been 16" +- 1/4" and now I slammed it down to 11" last night for their day time. I checked them a lot already this morning and mostly seem the same as last night.

It dont matter if its fart cooled it still needs to be as close as possible before its uncomfortable.

amazing plants dude especially for a first grow i wish my first grow went that well exactly what nutes are you using?
Thank bro !!! What happened on your first grow ??? I used Botanicare or something like that . forgot. Even to today I am yet to full dose them. I used some MOAB in weeks 1-2. Thats all
Ocean Forrest soil.. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY.. LOTS and LOTS of ATTENTION. I baby them !!! I tilled the soil with a fork for in the first 1-3 weeks of the grow. water by hand and turkey baste the water out when needed. Although last two weeks I have not had enough drain water to take out , Now some say good or bad to that. I say whatever my plants will take / tolerate is what I do. @ Clonex has been very helpful as well as three books and the youtube. Here are some pics from this morning as the light just went off. 014.jpg015.jpg

Whats your opinion on cutting or tucking leaves.. I say never cut !!!! only tuck or tie down.. As you can see I COULD benefit from one of those.. I have bamboo sticks but dont need them yet I have tie down shit , tie strings, and plastic cop ties.... Well stocked for whatever direction i go in..

However , My question is would pearing some of the large fan leaves in the middle of my garden be beneficial for ( lower buds ) or no do say just tuck then down and focus more on the top 3/4 of the canopy ?

Thank you advance

I would say leave them and don't bend or touch them,
The only time i ever remove them is if they are yellow and crispy and if they come off with no effort,
Those leafs are little miracle factory's, collecting light , working the sugars, leave them alone.

Then let the factory open for business....
