Plain and simple your first post of a "scrogg" was not a scrogg

Even if he removed the scrogg it ain't looking g like that he uses netting as a skeleton support IDC how long you bin growing

Thanks man. I'm trying. My family are farmers. Not the same kind. Hopefully it rubs off on me!!

Yep, day 14. Got my fingers crossed. I have a grow journal going. I messed up by training too long during the stretch

They're at the beginning of week 3. Will they really stretch that much? Or should I just remove the screen and try again with my next crop?

dont remove the screen mate they will stretch for about another week - 10 days normally but will continue to grow throughout mate if i was u i wud try lower net a couple inches and pull the tops up if u can but either way mate even if they dont stretch much that net will still add much needed support to the bud spots and it will also keep your canopy nice and even and imo an even canopy with even light distribution is one of the key points to getting the best harvest u can so dont remove it and try to lower it but if you cant lower it just leave as it is have you continued to tuck the branches under while you have been in 12 12 ? i will show you my firs scrog and i thought it was not working correct at first but come harvest i was more than happy

also when you harvest if you keep the strain you can learn where you could of done better and ammend it to get better but tbh i think your worrying for nothing i like to keep my plants small and i think your going to of got a better harvest there compared to if you didnt use the net at all and you wont have problems with your buds weighing them self down and having to add support those tops are gonna sit nice and swell up nice

Here is my plant scrogged under 200w cfl I only had tops two inches over netting this is exactly 5weeks from switching to 12/12

John marks · May 19, 2016

So if I'm correct the first 5-7 days of switching don't count so do I consider these 4weeks into flowering or five but either way I could have done better with the scrogg and I'm still on track for good yeild

And yours is better than mine so ya man you will be happy

John marks · May 19, 2016

And maybe this will help here is a bud from the other half of my plant that isn't scrogged, and that half won't be as even so this bud I'm showing you is one of the top buds there are fewer obviously and at this point they are not any bigger than the ones under the scrogged part as of yet but there is fewer tops because it wasn't tucked I was in your sane boat man insecure about my decision so I kept half in scrogg half not and IMO the scrogg is where its at,and I'm using bare build CFLs on the part that isn't scrogged placing little 23w bulbs everywhere I can and its still not getting as much light and growth as the scrogged oart

John marks · May 19, 2016

Hope this helps man

that makes me feel a lot better. Hopefully they will continue to stretch and I'll try and drop the screen this evening

Wow. Yeah, that definitely help out. I'll keep the screen for the remainder regardless. Hopefully I can get away with a few more inches of drop
