[ҖҗlegilizeitҗҖ]

One month update, it’s pretty packed in there. Finished up first week of flower stretch, couple more to go

I'll help get it back on track.
Your scrog looks really good!
Very bushy and full
I personally would have trained alittle longer to try and fill that screen toward the walls alittle better, but very nice

maybe a picture update?

I’ll post an updated picture when the lights go on

Is there about a 10" gap between the lights and canopy with about 6" gap between the light and the top of the tent? Or is that the camera angle and those gaps larger than that?

I haven’t measured but it’s somewhere around those heights yes

 

[cobshopgrow]

looks good.
no must, but you could use some strings and pull some shots more to the corners to open up the plant a bit more.
will yield you good anyway.

What @cobshopgrow suggested above will help ... but that's really what the net was supposed to do while you VEG'd. Next SCROG, drop the net to 6" above the top of the pot and weave the branches outwards so you fill all of your frame before you go to 12/12.

In your current grow, the 10" (or so) below your net will produce diddly. With the net lowered to 6" above the pot, that same 10" would be bathing in RSpec light producing some beefy tops. And you will give yourself some more flexibility with respect to light-canopy distances.

Yea I had a late start on the decision to scrog the plant

Where’s the buds?

whats a bud?

 

[Dr.Amber Trichome]

whats a bud?

It’s where the flowering is at. Looks really good but I don’t see any flowering buddage. You should have some formation by now .

So weaving..same branch over and under through the netting? In a 3x3 could i just secure the net to the 4 tent poles with out building a frame?

never heard of it what does it do?

i feel the tension is better when it’s strung to a frame rather than zip tied to the poles

It stinks up your room.

Why would I grow something that stinks, ew gross

 

[Soul Dwella]

so @themda branches over and under through the net or just tuck everything under and spread out?

Some were weaved strategically, some were straight up snapped and pulled back under the net

You could run the branches under the netting if you wish. You can use small plastic zip ties and secure them to the netting if that's your preference. Whatever works for you to keep the canopy flatter.

Weaving the branches over one string and under another while as plant is still vegging is my personal preference. I weave because that allows the plants to be mobile. The weave helps to secure the netting solidly in place and I can take the whole shebang (the bucket, the plant and the frame/net) as one entire unit from the VEG area into the flower tent. Plant mobility is the reason that my frames are made from lightweight 1" x 1" wood trim.
