Hey guys sad news. I'm 92 days in and just flipped my blue dream 2 days ago, but unexpected life cirmstances had to toss a wrench in everything and I won't be able to finish off the last 7ish weeks since I'll be moving! I've put a lot of time, emotional effort, and money into my garden and so obviously it's hard to be forced to cut things short. Theres 8 of them, 4 in 7gal smart pots & 4 small ones in 1gal smart pots) My question is, what do I do with the plants? Chop em up, pack them into garbage bags, and toss em? I feel like thats just wrong, but I don't really have any friends that grow and the timing of everything isnt allowing me to take them with me. Anyone else ran into this before? Ideas?

As herbs said. Or could plant it outside for your new owners to find lol
Smart smart. I also saved some seeds since I love starting from seed, but I'll deff be taking some cuttings too! It sucks since they look really good, and I've had them under some great lights, awesome enviromental contorls, and solid feeding schedule. Always hard to let that kinda stuff go I guess.

How far are you moving? Is it unreasonable to just take the plants?
Not too far; MI to IL, but I won't be able to take them unfortunately.

Why did you veg them for so long?
More time to train primarily.

Sure you can. U-Haul. There’s no border inspection entering Illinois. Load and go.
edit add: unload at night eh? Not so late people call the cops but after dark.

Run them until the end, move them separately. Furthest point in MI to IL is maybe 12 hours and most inhabited places it will be around 6 to 8 max. You will be so stoked you pulled it off. Set up new location so you can drive them and deliver to yourself, use a Uhaul of needed, pick a cool day!

yep, finished last round of flowering, holding everything in veg until my move's complete. UHaul pods for most house stuff, then a 20' truck for plant stuff. letting them veg this extra couple of months is going to pay off as i'm finally allowing them to get to 2' x 2' and larger (i.e., hopefully > 4 zips/tree). just been germinating and cloning since going under contract. took a lot of planning.
hell, i even ordered another ten 66" rays for the new, larger space.
big f'ing garage (30' x 40'). going to back the truck in, shut doors, set up stealth mode before opening doors again.

Come on here with positive updates, and some lame can't help himself but say dumb ass shit. Whatever, dude. You're going to have cork envy after my next two harvests. And I've been buying rubber stoppers with plastic coated wire to make it more sustainable/avoid cork limitations. For example, rubber stoppers are heavier so I'll need fewer corks.
This guy Brettman's super lame.

I guess I misunderstood the corks remark
I thought it meant from bottles of wine smuggled in and it was funny

When Apostatize first joined he was using like a million wine corks to bend his plants, that’s all.

I didn't understand the cork comment until you reacted to it, and now I find both comments funny.
