As the title say, I just found out I have to leave my apartment... Flipped to 12/12 just a few days ago... I grow 2 Northern Lights from Nirvana seeds under a 250w HPS. Their website says flowering 7-9 weeks. So my question is if I chop 'em down in the very last minute will it give me a high or is it just a waste?
I've also thought of following: Could I cut the branches in the last minute and root them all over again in lets say 3-5 days after the chop?


OT: Didnt know where to put the thead hope this will do?


Peace!

I'm assuming they are pretty small if you run a 250 HPS. just bring them to your new place and let them finish. I had to move (6) 2.5' plants before. Don't cut the branches off.

cutting under 60 days is a waste BUT you can get smokeable meds especially with fast flowering phenos or autos

cutting under 30 days is simply a waste

one way is to see if another grower would "donate" towards taking them off your hands, anyone have an open flower room with space that YOU can work and give them a portion of for allowing you use the space for a minute?

it is hard to grow on your own especially when you don't have any secondary locations.

If I knew I had to chop girls that were only going to be 30 days into flower, I would stop now and stop wasting my time, nutes and electricity and use that money to buy some meds to hold me over.

Moving them to your new location would be the best option, if that is available. use cardboard boxes to do that, but reinforce the bottom with scotch-tape before, would be bad for the boxes to fail somewhere in public, isn't it?

If you can't do that, medmaker gave you some good pointers above.

I've had to move large, full-blown flowering plants in the middle of the night inside of carboard boxes using a U-Haul truck. It can be done. Don't wuss out. Move your plants to a new location and don't make excuses.

Back about 11 years ago, I had to move 4 flowering plants. They were in 5 gal. buckets and about 4 feet above the bucket rim. I got some brown wrapping paper and wrapped them like ice cream cone a moved the about 5 miles through downtown in the back of a van with curtains drawn. If you keep your cool and move with purpose but not in fear, it will likely be all right. Also might consider moving them to new location at dusk when light is low. People don't see as well at that time of day. Best of luck with what ever you decide.
