Well I didn't really plan on scrogging this one so I probably would have done it differently, but two weeks before I switched to 12/12 I supercropped all main tops to make a flat canopy and then just built a screen to fit over top of it.
If I would have planned better I would have started training it much younger when I first topped it to save time.

Oh wow budlife, looks AMAZING and the C99 sounds extremely yummy - added to my list of future grows!!
I am currently planning a NL#5xHaze scrog and am trying to figure out how much space they (or, looking at yours, IT!
...I have half your space!) will occupy, hence my keen interest in details 
So how long did you leave it in veg?
Does C99 still stretch alot while flowering?
Do you, perchance!, have a pic of how it looked when you switched to flowering?
Cheers!

That NL#5xHaze sounds nice. Hope that goes well for you!
It was in veg no more than 2 months under a t5. Very unique growth on this plant.
It didn't notice anything overly stretchy during flowering. When I switched to 12/12 that screen was about 80% full and was very easy to maintain.
I don't have any pics sorry. I do have some clones though I'll try to do a better job capturing there growth. Peace.

Ah, thanks - this does help me lots in getting a more of a feel for where I'm going on my little adventure
It seems the NL#5xHaze does stretch alot after going into flowering (according to sensi themselves, seedlings sent directly into flower still grow up to 1m), so I'll probably have to switch before the screen is that full...
Since I haven't a clue about t5's, what wattage/lumen did yours have?
And did you top your lovely lady often to get that amazingly even spread you now have, or did that come naturally with the scrogging?
Thanks again!

Yeah you will probably wanna flip to 12/12 a bit sooner than I did maybe when your screen is around 50%-60% full to start and see how that goes. My blue dream I had before got massive in flowering, almost 3x its size.Ah, thanks - this does help me lots in getting a more of a feel for where I'm going on my little adventure

I love my t5 , much cheaper than running more HIDs. Its only 230 watts and 20000 lumens. I've got 9 plants under it right now in my 5x4 foot room and all are growing healthy. Bit slower growth than HIDs but not much and that's good with me because I only have two 3x3 tents to flower in.
I only topped once I believe. I usually only do it once or twice. I like LST and supercropping my bigger plants after I top them which makes a nice even canopy with a little technique.

damn brother thats one plant.... nice as fuck. you supercropped it?? question, when you supercrop you almost "snap" the stem right ? so when the stem forms that knuckle, does it cause any problems later?? ive always wanted to supercrop but im super against harming my plants in any way. i understand it doesnt really harm them but still you know. how do you supercrop your crop i guess is my question lol

Pretty much. There is a lot of good stuff about supercropping on here. Check it out. I don't think it does much harm to the plants, a lot of people actually see better results with doing it, as I have too. Unless its weak genetics I don't see anything wrong with supercropping. Just make sure to give it time to recover before you stress the plant again. I give mine 2 weeks before I flip to 12/12.
Check out some videos on youtube on how to do it. I just pinch where I want the bend to be and then just bend the top back and forth, left and right real easy til it stays down and usually tie it so it won't pop back up. And its best to do it after a good water when its got more flex. If it snaps no worries just tape it up.

Hey she finished already. Had to deal with some spider mites at the end there so I chopped about a week early but she still turned out great! Had to throw out maybe two ounces that were pretty infested but still got 4 full jars of some dank pineapple/grapefruity budhey budlife! how's your princess coming along?
