Thanks for the reply do u think my net is too high at 24 in off the ground
I would set it at a foot from the top of the plant. That's my personal setting because I have skinny hands and can manuver with that height, but I think 2ft is fine. A scrog master will chime in if I fed u you the wrong info.

you have a lot of plants there. when your screen is around 70% or so filled, flip. there's a great scrog sticky how to, at grass city written by green monster. best tutorial, i've ever read on scrogs.

Ya I really wasn't sure about 9 or 12 I figured more plants less veg time an I could always remove a couple do u think I should? I just added two blueberry and a blackberry rite before I took that pic so it wouldn't be a huge deal I jus really want those strains lol

looks good
I would swap the plants round so the smallest ones are in the middle and the largest ones on the corners
then the smaller plants will get more light and grow quicker

When plants are over 12 inches when you go to 12/12 you will rarely see a plant more than double in height during flowering. I wait until mine are 18-22 inches before they go to flower as I know plants up to 48 inches when finishing will fit comfortably under my flower light. Figure out how close your plants can safely grow towards the light and cut that number in half. That should be the optimal size of the plants going from veg to 12/12. BigSteve.

I would flip 12/12 ASAP if this is your first Scrog. When I first started scrogging I was sad and misinformed when it came to cutting branches. Then after a few LST'S and Scrogs I wasn't so sad to cut healthy branches. You have to learn your own growing techniques for your environment and ability to commit to growing. Your screen looks good and you can train weakly branches to grow dense (pinching and Lst)

I have a strain that triples in height but fills in nicely, I also have strains that stretch 50% and "no mas" Roberto Duran hahahaaha

Yeh in th
Pinching only the first week of 12/12 it's considered a weed and will grow like one
Sounds good, as I turn my plants over to flower, if there bushy and a good size I give them what I call a hair cut, I trim/cut all the top leaves in half this slows top growth and speeds up lower growth




top of the canopy gets some really large buds :)

I have a pretty powerful inline fan and I can actually get my plants within 6in of my 1000hps so with that in mind wut would the proper height hight be for a 1000 watt light to cover a 5x5 space efficiently??
