Hows it’s looking ?

[Newbiegrowerrr]

So my 4 month veg is over. Got the plant back to good health and had a rent inspection today so won’t be one for another 3 months so I took off the plant ties from my Lsting and put her under a scrog and started to put her into flowering.

Never done a scrog before , home made tent about 2.3 by 2.8, unknown strain (most likely lemon skunk) stretches a lot in flower so just wondering will I have overcrowding issues and anything else I should know going into flowering ?

The plant looks nice, all those leaves look healthy! Hopefully you'll be watching some big buds form over the next weeks. What's your (true) wattage on the LED?

I'm not an expert so I'll just say the basic keep your temps and humidity under control, especially as the buds mature. Humidity spikes overnight are something to watch out for. Ideal temperature swings about 10-15 f is said to be good. To me, the scrog looks like it's tighter than most as far as the size of the squares, so make sure the colas go through where you want them before they stretch too much.

Yeah those cheap amazon lights are going to severly dissapoint you.

Especially after waiting that long of a veg.

Thanks mate haha I thought the same about the squares but from what I’ve read on the internet a lot of people like this size so hopefully works out, I have 366 true watts all up for that space.

Nice man they look amazing . I know the shitty phlizon led is absolutely useless I just put it in there for whatever extra wattage I can get out of it, the other led is a mars hydro led 600watt full spectrum and 258 true watts so that with the crap led that’s only 108 true watts gives me 366true watts for that small space which is more than enough. This is my only indoor grow I’m trying then just gonna stick to outdoor grows, I’ve already got another plant from seed about a month old and the outdoor season kicks off here in 2 months so hopefully that plant will make up for what this one lacks

Air movement is extremely important. Air over and around continuously. Don't windwhip it but keep all the air moving you can. The small squares are a pain but I did a similar size. You must keep up with the tip weaving because pulling it back out to reroute it can damage. Did it. Plan your main stem routes carefully. Then use a 2nd SCROG over if necessary .

I got a extractor on the ground pulling fresh air in and a clip fan above blowing air all around also a extractor up top taking out the air, will that be enough for ventilation and movement ? I’m still scratching my head about the weaving part as to which way to weave each branch because there’s a few of them and looks like a bush to me. Any tips on directions I should weave certain parts of the plant to make it easier ?

Find your actual main branches. The largest near the top. Try to spread them out evenly. Like a wheel if viewed from above. If you can clone wait until it's flowering well and take a lot of cuttings. That helps thin it and gives you monster plants from the clones. Reveg these clones. By the time you finish flowering this you'll have monsters ready to go in the flower tent .

That’s great advice, you’ve helped me out before too on this site, thanks mate I appreciate it.
