Sorry i hit enter too early but my question is i have a few satias ive been growing since end of january, and they have gotten too damm big my 4x4 grow tent is like a jungle inside(u can see some pics of them under my profile or older posts of mine, ill upload pics later driving in car now). I had some other plants that were sitting on the bottom underneath the sativas in my tent, and they are doing great they have been budding for weeks and i really feel as if the sativas are just taking too long to grow and too big to manage easily. So what ive been doing is taking the sativas in 5 gallon pots outside everyday when the weather is agreeable, and then taking them back in at night. I did this mainly because my 12/12 cycle has lights on during daylight hours so im trying to free up some space so i can focus on my other 5-6 plants which r doing great budding like crazy. The problem is its too damm hard to always be at my house 24/7 and remember exact times to bring plants in or outside, plus the weather here on east coast of usa has been shit lately rain rain rain everyday it seems. I have so much time invested in these giant sativas so its hard 2 throw them out, but they have been taking so god damm long to really bud. Ive started posts on this topic before regarding why the sativas r flowering like this. Yes i know this specific kind of plants can take very long to finish compared 2 indicas, but it seems like they have been the same for 3-4 weeks. They r pistols and hairs and what looks like the begging of budding sites all over the plant but other then that its almost like the plant has reached a stan still. I have had no light leeks , i flushed them several times , i even lst,d them with string down to the bottom of the containers they r in. So sorry for going on and on with my post and for my description of plants being all over the place, but my one main question really is : I know options r limited but i cant bare waiting for the sativas to finish much longer so can i pretty much trim the hell out of it? Im not talking about removing water leaves or decay i all ready tried that & plant is still to big & bushy. I was thinking of as a last resort to just cut a few inches off the tops of a bunch of the branches making them more compact so they can actually fit in my tent and under my 600 watt hps. I know u should never do this during flowering but its either throw them out completely or cut them 7 be happy to get a much smaller yeild . On top of all that who knows if the plants will ever really begin growing actuall buds (as i was saying before i keep thinking the plants might have just hit a stand still and our stuck , a guy from my local hydro... Store said this can happen sometimes and that its just bad genetics etc.) ps. Sorry again 4 length of post i will add pics shortly thank u 4 taking ur time 2 try & help me w/ my problem.
