Damn!! All bad.... Well i need them to get no higher then 4 ft is lst or super cropping my best bet, my delimma is my neighbors ..... Even tho im licensed to grow i dont want them all in my biz and i have 12 girls in ground rii now, it would be more manageable to put em in pots that way i can move them to another spot out of sight once they reached a certain height

Why do you want to move them?
If you dig them up, leave a big root ball.
They will bounce back eventually.

Well you will have a project in front of you to dig the girls up now but it can be done will little damage or set back to your growth rate. Initially you will need to dig a hole around the plant that is at least as big around as your canopy of the plant and go down at least as deep as the plant is tall. Once this is done you will want to place your plant on a piece of plastic or something similiar so that you can work the rootball. When you are ready to work the rootball gently start to remove the excess dirt away from the roots, this can be done with gentle fingers to using water to loosen the dirt around the roots. If you have never attempted this it can be a bit tricky to do effectively and without damage to the roots (practice is the only way to learn about doing this).
Now that you have a manageable rootball size you can put into the size container you wish to use. Fill your container around the plant roots, pushing down gently to ensure that all areas are filled in and you have no air pockets in the dirt aroun
d your roots. Water with superthrive (helps to prevent and recover from shock) and set in a shady area for a few days until she is recovered.
Just a note, your plant will most likely go into shock and look pretty droopy for a couple of days. Misting your plants lightly each day will help ensure that your leaves stay moist and recover more quickly (they need shade to do this or you will dry your plants faster by mistining them.
MJ plants are extremely tough and recover from most injuries if given the proper care and enough time to recover. Within a few days depending on root damage done doing this your girls should be just like new within 2 to 3 days and growing again within 4 or 5 days.
Hope this helps, any other questions please just send a PM
