what to do in this phase

Hello,

there are currently 20 plants in 6.5 gallon pots each in 48-50 day vegetation, height about 30-35 inches without the pot.

recently I've put another 30 plants in 2 gallon pots each on vegetation, they are 7-10 days old ,height 3-7 inches.

the plants in 6.5 gallon pots have been topped once and are going huge and just making new branches, a lot of them. if I let them like that for another 20-25 days, I don't know how big they will grow and with too many branches. I usually get focused to take down the lower branches on the plant so the upper ones get more light.

What should I do with the plants in 6.5 gallon pots, switch them to 12/12 and the small ones (30 plants) throw in a box on 18/6 until they grow, or maybe start pruning OR lolipopping the 6.5 gallon pot plants or just keep taking down their lower growth cause they have already 10-15 branches that are under the main top growth. I am asking this because if I let them sit just like that for another 20-25 days, might have problems with too many branches on them.

Also another question, should I remove the big plants lower leafs that aren't getting any light. some people say I should, some that they need it. They are all still green even getting no light.

First time growing in > 3 gallon pots, so I don't know what to expect.

Please give me a suggestion, what to do with them. The space is big enough for all of them, working under 3x600 HPS, 1x400 MH.

Thanks,

There going to grow a Lot more when you switch them to 12/12 so if your concerned about growth I would take that into consideration .

Also if you've got the room to keep the smaller one's in veg separately or even flower separately I would unless they've got there own lighting as I imagine if not the larger ones could impact on there growth.

I haven't personally done much pruning or lollipopping and wouldn't really pull any healthy green fan leaves , but have received advice to trim the lower section so that the plant focuses more on the top which recieves most light.

Hope this helps .

I look at leaf removal as productive thinning... not just for light penetration but air flow as well.. don't be afraid of removing leaves... I would thin and then flower your big girls.. move the others to veg longer... then move em in
as they get bigger... staggering them will mean a constant yield.. That's how I kept up with 8 patients...

Appreciate for your answers guys, I think I'll go with supercroping, haven't done it yet ever. I will listen to your suggestions by little and take down a few leafs earlier. I must say I'm still a starter. I usually removed healthly fan leaves in week 2-3 of flowering when the stretch finishes and lollipop 2-3 days earlier. Is there anything wrong with that? At the end of the flowering I usually can't get trichomes on the buds, maybe a bad strain.

Do you always shower with your plant? Am I missing something?
Sometimes it's great to relax with your plants ROFLOL. I had washed a pollen dusting off from 2 weeks earlier, everything had taken at that point so I was showering the excess flour pollen off of it, cakes a little takes the shower to get her clean.

Only pics. will tell if switch is due. Remember these plants will almost double in size. Think space. 50 plants by a not very experienced grower. I admire your ambition.
There will be photos soon. Need to get my hands on a camera or a phone that has a camera. :)

Plants are stretching, 5-6.5 feet tall. Going good, will be lolipopping a few lower branches in a couple of days. Thank you guys. Will put photos soon.
