Yeah I get you, you might end up with a sorta top heavy bendy spears shape though long term like the way people prune indoor plants if you know what I mean. I reckon you want more of a bushy ball? You can bend em right over as well to get lateral branching going? Maybe play around a little and get all sorts of shapes seeing as you got so many and you not so concerned with end product.

If ya want that soccer ball shape plants then you'll need to tip em heaps and you could tie the lower branches down.
This looks pretty sick
@SHO774: I would imagine cross pollination is a bit of an issue. I think I will try for a bit of a ball shaped plant. See how it goes anyway. When I have re-vegged plants they sometimes go into a bit of a ball shape by themselves. Not an option here this time obviously.

Bit early for breakfast mate but sometimes you have to take what you can get when its served

Top of the south island tends to get the best sun, Nelson, Blenheim, Tasman area... Northland (top quarter of the north island) also has a very good climate for it, longer outdoor season if you enjoy the more Sativa varieties.

Early work knock off managed to get up the hill and check on the girls after a storm yesterday.
Purple soul, super funky
Blueberry muffin, probably gonna let her go as I've had her a few years, she can't handle rain and I got tastier stuff that can handle weather
Uncles Bruce banner, stretchy indica, tasty punchy crowd pleaser
Purple soul almost ready
Last photo peep the corner, pot getting lifted up into the sky by the fuckn bamboo lols

Yeah man I reckon early December, then I'll replace em with more weather hardy cuttings for the rainy summer period, this patch I usually hunt through seeds but something came up so decided to just run clones for a quick turn around rather than have to hack down precious seed plants before they finish, i had a couple of your offerings in mind, maybe late in the season if I dont have to move..
yea i do similar ,
last season i finally did what i had often considered the best time ,
start of feb to sow , we have enough heat still in coming months ,
and the rain should stop in march/april ,
i found the timing better than what i had previously went with which was beginning of december ,
my reasoning , most hybrids will do around 16 weeks from seed to harvest ,
the feb timing stands a much btter chance of at least a month with no rain ,
doesnt always work out like that where i am , but the theory is sound further away from the coast and such rain prone places as where i hail from ...

Yeah that makes perfect sense. Middle of summer when its pissing down and humid for veg and then fingers crossed it teeters off in that autumn window. Im sure that was something you worked out over a few seasons. Im definitely over babysitting a patch for 6-9 months just for a relentless month of rain to drop at the last stretch. Never a nice feeling checking your garden after a big storm and seeing snapped branches in the dirt etc. Doesn't always work out but I've found multiple small harvests to be a game changer. Although growing big plants was fun I miss it for sure.
the other option is a winter/spring grow , if your day lengths allow for it ,
i can do it here , its a shorter grow time ,, but is reliably dry and warm to hot into flower ,
with the right seed its by far the easiest way to go ,
the yields are less is all , but i have used grow tents to get them up to size before putting them out quite successfully , im happy with half a pound to a pound per plant , and its doable ...
certainly better than trying to grow the same sort of hybrids through the rainy times ...
