Because the main stems are gone and the outer stems don't produce the biggest buds. Smoke will still be good just won't yield well.
I did not know that! And it seems so obvious now. I’ve started all my clones in clear cups. I can switch them over easily though when I replant plant the few random clones in the flat, open container.Are your clones in clear pots? If so get them out into dark ones , Light hurts the roots.
Looking good, My opinion is yes you can move into final pots now
