It's sage and sour.. I'll be flipping the lights then lol 75% sativa so they say. It's a boss though lol I'm liking it. Thanks for the heads up this is my first real SCROG my last one ended up being more of a LST using a screen lol thanks for the heads up brother! I'm hoping to pull like 10 oz off her. We shall see lol wish me luck

That's what I decided. They are staying off for 12 hours then on for 12 hours.

How much you think it will stretch up? I'm working with a lot of limited height. So trying to figure out a plan B just in case I need to do some LST during flowering to make sure I have plenty of height. I think I will have enough height just a little nervous lol I'll have to cut some fan leaves probably to make sure they don't block any colas when they get swolle lol

Count on it doubling and then some for some strains. If you can tell some tops are getting out of hand just pinch them and keep em even with everything else.

I'm a little stoned right now lol but you literally mean just top it even while it flower?

no just crack the stem with your fingers, it will slow growth on that node thats too tall.

Alright cool. I'm only in my 3rd day of flowering so I trained them under the screen one more time. It really helped finish filling it out. Now I'm just going to let then go up through the screen. Thanks for the advice man

I would recommend you continue to train it under the screen for the first 14 days of Flower, they will keep stretching, Im on day 16F with some headband clones, and they're still stretching, it will help you fill out the screen and keep the canopy an even height.

Ok cool. This is my first real scrog. Last one kinda ended up being an LST. So I'm still new to the scrog part. But I've seen what a good scrog can yield and I only grow one or two at a time if I can double or triple my yield from going vertical to scrog I said why am I not doing that. So for the first 2 weeks keep training them under the screen. Makes sense at least for a hybrid strain leaning more towards sativa. I woke up this morning and they were still stretching out I was like wtf am I going to do. When do they really stop stretching out? Or is it something that will happen periodically all through out the flowering phase?

Depends on the strain, but sativa dom hybrids saverage 2weeks stretch, and it speeds up, mine stretched about 1-2 inches a day.

You can bend the shoots and tie them down as they go throug the screen again and again. make that bitch a carpet

Lol I have about 2 feet of growth up. And I don't even want that much so I probably will tie them down a bunch. This pic is from today I just took it

the whole idea is to not let it go up, you want to keep it all at the same height so it gets even light penetration.

yup, yup, yup! with that small of a screen, you may have already waited too long to flip.

This doesn't matter any more lol in already here. I have a lot towards the back to still fill actually I just originally bent the plant that way so I've been moving the branches kinda one hole towards the back every day that has actually opened a lot of it up. But at least I know next time lol bigger box. I'll tie them down. I kinda did that my first grow I just didn't fill the screen all the way up which was my mistake.
