So these plants are white widow fem 60days old in veg. Want to switch to flower but dont know if to wait till d scrog fills up some more.. Thus its my 1st time growing anyting and by my judgement and from what i have seen online it appears I'm doing ok so far. I'm in a bit of bother not knowing what to expect in stretching. Dont wanna rootbound the girls. Nor flower to early. Also didnt cater for such long veg time. Some advise please.

Plants will stretch quite a bit for the first couple of weeks into flowering. I have been growing a long time...but, just now doing my 1st Scrog. I had the same conundrum. I vegged for about 8 weeks and was going to go a bit longer to fill my screen...Mother Ganja took care of it in flowering though.

You have an AWESOME grow room! I am in a small tent and only doing 2 gurlz. But, if you would care too take a look. click the link below.

Good Luck and Great Growz!

I'm not a scrog expert and interested in knowing as well. I'd think your good to go now. And the stretch will fill that net up nicely but again really interested in seeing if I'm way wrong lol. Next grow would be nice to scrog, getting tired of the jungle grows I do now that look like unruly bushes lol.

That is not my call...it is your grow. Don't sell yourself short and just run with others advice. Gather opinions, do some research and make your own decisions. My opinion is IF this were my grow, I would likely flush and flower at this point. But again, just what I would do.

Follow your instincts. I have always done so with my growz. The reading and study gave me the knowledge. From there I listened to my gurlz and my gut...never a failed grow.

I don't think it's necessary to flush before flowering. You won't be taking anything out of the plants. Just do feed feed water. Always at least 10 to 20% runoff. And I do 50% runoff on water days to rid any built up salts. Seems to work for me.

IMHO opinion flushing to remove salts and excess nutes, can be imperative to final taste. I use the Fox Farms sledgehammer to prepare them for the next stage of the lifecycle.

BTW watering to 50% run-off...Hmmm...sounds like flushing to me.

Flushing to me is giving your plant straight ph'd water for a week plus. I feed to till 10 to 20% runoff. On water days I do about 50%. On a feed feed water routine.

If op means give straight water one feeding before flip sure. But to "flush" for a week plus I don't think is nessecary.

Ok.. Seems we all mean d same. When i say flush i mean ph`d water only. Call it a rinse then notbto get confused.
50%runoff will flood my grow room.. Lol. I think 25%run off is sufficient. I'm in d process of doing it right now as we chat. Tommorow lights on will be 12/12 hps 800w. Goin with my gut gotten me this far.. Thanks for all your input i do appreciate a good thread. Dobt mean to go off topic nut when is d beat time to take clones?

Lol I know what ya mean I have 2 in a 3x3. Fabric pots raised with pvc off the saucer. After 1.5 gallons I have to soak up the water from the saucer and squeeze it into a bowl to dump out. But with a room like yours I don't think that is feasible. Hahah or would take a Hella long time.

What medium are you in? Hydro? soil? If soil i highly suggest extra run off once a week. Salt build up on your root will cause lock outs. But hey what I do I know. I'm just a noob trying to get by

Soil. Promix. When i feed i go to 20% runoff each time. Every 3feedings i rinse with ph 5.7water only. Then resume.
