@ Woodsman, I would love to hear more about your introduction to cultivation, it sounds like your time in the south was super educational.

What's up FM?! Wanna see my latest F-UP? First run on these fabric pots and the 10 gallon takes a ton of water once the roots take off. So in an attempt to get run off I over nuted the poor girls and ended up with some lockout. It's worse on the warmer side of the room opposite the A/C. After flushing I think it's under control but it definitely left some damage. Here they are at the end of week 6.

Hey Scrogger's!! This is my first scrog ever. This was vegged a little to long I think but oh well. To big a plant is okay problem with me. Anyway.
My Question is how much of the under growth should I take off. I was thinking everything below the PVC. I have already taken off about half of the stuff and flipped 12/12 yesterday. Should I let her stretch a week then trim?
P.S. She Is A Green Crack and expect about double stretch with a little extra.

Thanks! That's kind of what I've been doing. Some here and some there. So basically make sure she is ready to go by day 14.

Hey all,
This is my first scrog and I wanted to get some feedback.
Girls were topped at the 4th internode. Placed under the screen 10/25.
Strains are kaia kush, church & buddha tahoe
Appreciate any feedback, thoughts, questions, etc

i guess i didn't look into it enough. i am trying the scrog for the first time. this is actually my second grow as an adult. i have already flipped to 12/12 a couple days ago. no flowers yet. the screen seems pretty full now but i am going to manipulate the hell out of the plants for a a while now. these are dutch passion master kush plants. should i have made my screen stands portable? i am using felt pots and could not really come up with a portable setup this weekend and just figured i'd go for it. anyway, here are some pics... comments on what i am failing at or doing ok at are welcomed.

This is my first run at SCROG as well but my advise so far is to make sure you can easily access underneath the canopy. There is a lot of training and trimming to do.Hey all,

If your canopy is filled properly, everything below the screen wont be getting any light anyway.
Usually strains are done stretching in flower by day 14-21, and then flower production takes over. I'd try to have most if not all the cutting done by the time the stretch is over. You only get so many days of heavy flower production so you don't want to waste that time by stressing your plants during those times.

Access is a major pain. Watering is light a WWII bombing run. I have started using my tents access panel for the girls in the back.

I have lots of growth under my screen, any bud above the screen is just sitting on more bud below the screen.
I did not remove anything, I would have Lost a bunch of buds if I trimmed all of the lower of the plant, I don't understand the logic ??
unless it's a perpetual grow or space issue then I understand.
I run a 400 watt HPS with two 95 watt T5 CFL 4 bulb fixtures on either side of my screen.
photos below.
Why trim if not for space or speed?

i have to ask the same thing. I just added side cfl lighting when my canopy got too thick for light penetration. I know I'm not going to get all that much from the underside but when you are growing only one or two plants in a small space I don't see the benefit of trimming the popcorn.

reason being everything typically below the screen does not get sufficient light to create good quality buds. If you remove the matter from the bottom, the plant can devote it's energy and resources to the buds that are getting energy directly from the light.
your circumstances are a little different due to the size of you plant and side lighting of your set up. If you check out the pic i posted above and some others in my sig, underneath my screen its complete darkness just about... if i put my hand under it.. no light shines on my hand whatsoever .. what happens is the plant has to expend extra energy keeping those buds alive since they arent getting light.

It's my first plant.
Dr F. when you mention size you mean it's Larger than what you would flower or Smaller?
as soon as the stretch hit when a flower reached the screen I moved them to the outer holes.
I continued moving branches away from the center and finally have a very full screen.
I squoze one Bud, it's as hard as a rock! The big one in the back right.
I bought a light meter, I've found that my hood has a hot spot you can see the extra growth around the back.
The hot spot is directly below the base of the bulb.
I know tilt my hood and use my light meter to get a more even spread at 7000+ lumens across most of the plant.
The outer buds are getting 5000 + lumens plus the side lighting.
