The strains in this cross are two I'd like to have. I like the classics. Working with Sweet Skunk, Blueberry, and Northern Lights.

I love the scent she's giving off like your saying it's sweet skunk exactly. I was originally going to do HSO blue dreams but the seed was a dud

These are F1 hybrids and emerge in 3 days like clockwork from direct soil planting. I keep a clear solocup on a red solo. Clear is perforated like a soil cup would be for drainage, but for ventilation. After a day of emerging I remove the clear. Soil never dries out. You could mist the clear for humidity. That's one cloning method I'm trying. I also have some grodan cubes for clones, but might try a seed in a cube.

Shes looking very heathly. My suggestion would be get calibration liquid for your meter, i recently got some, tested my meter and showed that i had been feeding my girls 5.6 water for who knows how long, now their getting steady 6.4 and seemed much happier within a few days. I would also run a flush before you flip to 12/12 or now to flush any nutes and reestablish your soils ph. Also for a scrog screen i would let the girls stretch then pull them under the farthest section itll reach comfortably so the nodes under the plant top get light, within a few hours of doing this youll notice the little leaves next to the fan leaves perk up towards the light. Each one of the leave sets equals another budding site during flower. Good luck!!

I would lollipop and trim off a ton of under growth. Get those bad leaves off. Also either tuck or remove a few of those big top fan leaves. It'll let more light into the lower canopy. In my setup if I don't clear everything below my scrog it'll be larfy and airy.

Yeah mine are getting a lil crusty n yellow on the bottom which is normal at your stage. But that fiji water is high ph 7.7!

Thanks man I think I'm going to get me a ph ppm meter. I knew growing wouldn't be that easy! Well I thought that I would do better my first time.

So do you have a tutorial on that? Or do I just trim of fan leaves. I tried going on YouTube but it I can't really seem to understand it like I don't want to kill or hurt her. Or even like a simple explanation.

I'm with Dan Can Grow, if you grow leaves, you'll grow leaves... get them off and light to the flowers.
Go to youtube, find Grand Master Level, about a week ago he uploaded a video with a title about "The Leaf Strip"
Not a scrog garden, but will give you an idea of what you can get away with in regards to leaf stripping it's kind of shocking but pays off.

My studying has been leading me to thinking you want some of those big solar panels, but look at the nodes where they come from and your branches are emerging or trying to emerge from. If you want a good canopy, you want to have the plant put energy into those branch sites so they can compete for dominance with the main colas. That's why you LST, pull that main cola down and the plant will be like Oh Shit, gotta get auxins to the next closest branches. That's why I take lower branches off. Just a waste of energy, along with the degrading lower leaves. Tuck your leaves around so your branches can get light. Make sense?

Another conclusion the school of hard knocks is telling me, maybe I want my plant to get a little stemmy and I shouldn't be blasting with high intensity early on. I want it to reach, then pull it down and force branching and push the branching up and out for a wide canopy. Once she bushes wide, screen it and ramp up intensity, tuck the aggressive shoots back under one adjacent opening to keep things even.

Ok so today is day 43 in veg
I'm thinking I should start flowering. I deff started lst tooo late. I trimmed the leaves that were half dead and ones that didn't look to well and now she can get more light. So as I was lst I was feeling really good and getting cocky about it things were going great until.........
Well I tried to lst the two top main colas. As I brand her downjust a little all I hear is snap!!!!
And I'm like oh no I might have just shit my self heart racing I go to look at it and ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
I was so scared asked a couple people and ended up taping it like this
I added duct tape on top of the scotch tape because I figure it would hold better. I just don't want duct tape directly on my stem i would rather deal with scotch that isn't so sticky then duct tape over it. Do you think she will heal? Will this affect my yeild?
As for an update well I ended up giving her s little clean up and a little lst. Sucks because where I taped. Well those were my two main colas. Now I can't lst so there the only ones sticking up. I'm going to show some photos here I took my scrog out. All are lst'd except for those two main colas due to me splitting it like a dumbass.
