I'm already 8 inches above the coco, and my light is maxed out... My tent is only 4 feet high and I must maintain a distance of 18inches... I can adjust need be..

But what do you suggest ? This is my first
Go at it. Right now I just hand water it but I may get a Christmas tree funnel and use that...
 
As long as you have a method to get it done. I was just curious what you would do in the space. I have myself a full 12" between pot and screen i wanted space but i have more head room so...cant wait to watch them finish.

This is going to be really tough for you with the parameters you're working with.
Flowering stretch will easily add 1/3 to 1/2 the height after vegging & you're not done with that by quite a bit.
Pull all that vegetation down under the screen & do it daily (if not more often).

Were I you & decided to continue to grow, I'd look into a taller tent for the next run.

As for watering, I have a rectangular bucket I hang from my door on hooks that has a ball valve & about 6' of hose, I simply drop the hose on the girl I want to water & turn on the valve. I always give them about a gallon or so more than they "need" and I don't like to leave them standing in water so I rigged a 2' hose on the end of the trusty shop vac & suck the extra outta the tubs they sit in.
Simple and no bending over or dumping water all over the place. :cool:

Now that's clean and efficient!

Ya next run in getting a way taller tent. I know I'm pushing it really close. That's why I did all the training. I may flip sooner than later

What up dudes ! Been a lil bit just checking in . Here's day 26 going to cut some leaves even remover some leaves to expose more sites.

Looking great! I'm at day 22 so we might all finish more or less at the same time.

Here are a few peaks at mine, the buds started to take shape and I'll have to figure out what to cut... I messed up a bit with this scrog by letting them grow to much through the net, so I'd say it's skeletal support at best. :D

Should I take away those little flowers just above the net, or does that stay on? Everything below the net is nice and naked.

EDIT: I just spread the tallest shoots out and about a bit and also trimmed her one final time. Now no touchy until the end.

But isn't it too late for that or am I good? I've already cut off a lot of leaves, don't ant to stress her too much, but on the other hand it is a good idea.
 
I'm still cutting handfuls and they havnt slowed down a bit... Again im not chopping away niether I keep it about 5% removal everytime im coming on the 5th week and I'll probably keep doing it for another week of I see sites suffering . My strains a very tolerant tho .. When you trimmed the first time did your plant react any way ? Like wilted or shriveled ? If it didn't then your plant doesn't mind being plucked , for example the cut of purple wreck I have hates defiolation it'll wilt if I remove too much

5 gallon bucket with a pump and hose should do you fine

No, actually nothing happened, so I'm guessing she doesn't mind.

Ok, I'll try and cut away leaves that are affecting budsites in the center of the canopy. And thanks for the idea with chopping of half of the leaf.

On my next round I won't be so soft, I'll cut away everything that's not worthy. :D

Ok, ladies are awake & getting thirsty.
These two are from about a week ago - still pushing them down under the screen.

This is just moments ago.
I have stopped pushing them under & now concentrate on allowing as many tops as possible to arrive at the canopy. Much debate on the defoliation technique is out there & its a personal decision, but I do remove leaves to allow secondary shoots that would never make it through the screen/fan leaves get some light so they can contribute instead of being larf.

This is what LST looks like after only 24 hours.
And the top is easily 1/2" taller than it was when I pinched it last night.

Does that help?
