A couple thoughts - You're not gaining full utilization of the trellis with such wide spacing. At that point, it's mostly support. Next time, try making smaller squares. I'm at 4in and I even think that's a little much. Lightly weave into the canopy to expose more of the new tips. Otherwise, looking fantastic! Definitely flip if you haven't already. You're going to want to make a second layer of trellis I think, to support some of these after the stretch.

Thanks man! Thats what I was thinking as well. It was easy since it was pre made and at my local shop. I was thinking about ordering a second one.

What size pots are you in? Ideally, you should be able to hit about a zip per gallon if you're really dialed in. If you're only in 5's, and only looking at 8 and not dialed in, yeah, 1-1.5lb would be a reasonable estimate.

If I only get one bow out of this set up then Ill sell it all lol. Im in 7's and have climate dialed in to a tee, just ran into a slight PH issue the whole time that is now 100% resolved... finally!

Dialed in also takes into consideration all the strain specific variables that are impossible to get down the first run. Some plants are going to eat more of some nutrients than others at certain times, and using a one size fits all approach of bottled nutes isn't going to totally meet all needs on all strains, ime. It's always a "less is more until you figure out what she wants"... I've helped care for certain phenos for a year and I still don't think we got them TOTALLY dialed in.

I was planning on 3 more weeks veg and then possibly throwing another net on top like the one there. Took about 15 mins to make. What do you think?

I think it's going to be a jungle in there. Do you know much about the strain? Mine stretched x3 pre flip size. click in the link to check out my journal, you can see how big they were on 11/1 when I flipped them and how big they are now. I had to do a lot of pruning, cause it was overgrown. I add a 2 layer net as well, mainly for support, I think you will need it.

Yeah. I think you're going to be looking at a really lush, unruly canopy. I'm not the most experienced, but I think you may have been better served cleaning up some of that and taking a bunch of clones, so you can get some bigger main stalks. So much energy being diverted to nodes that I'm not sure will produce anything you want.

I know they will be giant but I have 4 feet to my room temperature hoods so is a jungle going to be bad as long as I keep enough water and nutrients for them to eat up? Jungle sounds good to me! Checking out your journal now.

Its been insane man I cant even keep up with it and Im a believer that along with care the other 50% is my co2 enrichment. Ill update a few pics of these trunk like stalks and branches. Ive had to cut id say around 80 to 100 good side branches 4 or more inches long and hundreds of nodes coming from everywhere. I guess all I can do is wait another 2 months to see what the out come isbongsmilie

Regardless, some of those mains you do have are nice and thick. You're in good shape. Just watch what comes out and take note what parts do better than others... And enjoy!

Jungles are great, but they can block out light to any buds directly below the canopy is what I have discovered. Doesn't really matter how tall they are, with a full canopy, you are only really going to be harvesting the top 20" or so. Too much veg and crowding, you will have lots of small buds, but not a lot of big ones. You don't want a bunch of larf, but nice elongated cola's instead. After watching every single video from medicropper, they should really be flipped before they start touching each other. That's the fun part about strains though, you really just don't know what's going to happen unless you've run that strain before. Looks great!
