@3rd Monkey I’m debating on throwing a scrog over the top of those 3 hempys. What’s your thoughts? Scrog keep LST?

And if I do throw the scrog on should I top everything and let the lowers come up to fill it in?

With the way you have them, you could scrog pretty easy if you wanted. Wouldn't take long to fill. That's up to you. They are at the stage where you can do a LOT with them lol.

You can let the lowers fill in, but you're going to strip off everything below the net. Depending on how big those lowers are now, you could bend the plants over to use the whole plant, or prune them if they are really small to focus growth upstairs.

I think I want to scrog so should I top my main so it focuses to my lowers? And then the lowers should I top them as well so the lowers come up? Or should I just start bending them so the lowers come up through the net? I’m confused on how to make my net fill up if I do scrog.

How much longer are you scheduled to veg?

I guess as long as I want. I have 2 seeds that just popped and the banana hammock that’s in the DWC that can veg while my screen fills up.
You can do it either way. Topping all the lowers will make your screen more full with more medium sized buds.

Just tucking will get you bigger colas but less bud sites.

Shit I’m torn. Which do you think would yield higher?
Manifolding lol. That's the only way I would do a scrog. It's not really bad any other way, but going from an LST, it doesn't grow evenly, so you get different sized colas.

In your case, I would just bend it over, top it, start tucking and topping where needed to get a site every 3" in the net, then flip.

Word I’m gonna sleep on it. The third one that was yellow is really behind all the others so I would have a third of the net filling in super slow.... may just tie down and let them grow big. May still too my main to slow that part of the plant down. Idk. Lol like I said I’m super torn.

Lots of options man. How are you at supercropping?

Also, I just meant that supercropping is a great technique that you can apply anywhere. I crop my manifolds, makes them better. You can run a king's crop, a crop top, or scrog it and crop it... Anywhere.

I just advocate using it because it's worth it.

Ya I just wonder how hard it stunted. Not too worried about it making it. My roots are doing well. But I’m going to tie my mains down on the hempys supercrop the colas and let her rip
I've never used rapid start or anything, guess it's strong stuff.

Do what you feel man. Thats the part of growing that I love. It's like art.
