The plants look awesome, buddy!

When do you flip the Annabelle's Garden plants into 12/12?

Next time, maybe wait until the plants are bigger in smaller pots, top them (a big top), and then send them into 12/12 (the topped top), in a glass of water or an easy plug, whatever works for you (with 100% humidity). A glass doesn’t need a dome over its head, so you can see in 10-14 days if it’s a male or a female. This way, you won’t use (or waste) so much soil in those big fabric pots!

I like regular seeds way more than feminized seeds, but you have to do 1 extra step, like letting them stay longer in a smaller pot to first find out if they’re female or male.

I really hope for you that you'll have 80% females! :D Or are you searching for one or two males to pollinate a few plants?
I did have some picture's for you, because u asked me about Lollipopping.. And i just wanted to share my way of doing it.

I've tried a lot of different ways. I usually stick to doing nothing until day 21 of flowering and then lollipop and lightly defoliate.

Or, I'll do a light defoliation (like 3-4 big leaves that block bud sites from light exposure) and a small lollipop process two days before flipping the plants to 12/12. After the stretch is done (mostly day 21 of flowering), I'll do it one more time and then it's done.

Plucking 3-4 leafes here and there is absolutely okay anyway.

I just don't like it personally when people remove 80% of the plant, but that's their way, and that's fine. Everyone has their own way. That's cool!

But consider that the plant can herm if you remove too much! When I grow in my bigger tent and do nothing until day 21 of flowering, I have to remove so much that it stresses them the f*** out.

There's a theory that if you defoliate on day 21 of flowering, after the stretch, you'll have fewer leaves in your buds. I'm not sure if it's 100% true, but I think there's something to it.

Also, bigger leaves require more energy than they can create. I think you're referring to the "kitchen sink" method. I don't remember the details either, but I do remember that new, smaller leaves are much more efficient at photosynthesis. That's something I like.

Additionally, I like to leave 2-3 large fan leaves at the bottom of the plant. That way, if the plant runs into something, I can see it there first. I only remove them if they become too numerous, especially at the top of the plant.

I call them my "signal leaves."
It's truly amazing how much we can learn from each other, especially with this plant and those forums!!!
Honestly, none of us started with a seed in our hand and knew everything. We all learned along the way and from each other.
Like i mentioned once before i do that exactly 2 years and 6 months.. i already grew so f. much and create my own strains.. I know not everyone is like me.. actually pretty crazy and just put 100% of time and passion into that plant.. i think i exaggerated waaay to much.. but i love it :) And i love to try help other gardeners..

That really hurt me.

Another run same method:
Day 20 - there was like 20 leafes at the bottom that ive found every day since day 7 (after 12/12), the plant is very smart and know that they just cost to much energy.

See have no room to make plants that size. Why i trying to figure out how do smaller ones like that.
 
May i ask you which plants do u have in flower from the Annabelle's Garden seeds?
Picture's of those would be super cool from you brother :)

And what are you smelling already from them?
I'll post them tomorrow. They way in the back . Still can't tell if m/f yet.
