whoa,,I think I have my hands full with 5 girls on a shelf setup 4x5 feet,,, my back girls are hard to get to for defoliation and LST to the screeni always have trouble finding the right time to flip to 12/12. do i wait till scrog is FULL and plants are touching or do i flip a bit earlier 70% full and still space between plants?
lol i just posted in the grow journal maybe a few days ago pictures of this room defoliated on day 21. it wasnt too difficult actually.whoa,,I think I have my hands full with 5 girls on a shelf setup 4x5 feet,,, my back girls are hard to get to for defoliation and LST to the screen

Yes, needs more gone. Ive been chopping and chopping. I actually think I have shocked or stunted them with all the defoliationingisms. I need the space or I would have let it fill out more. I found the work and learning curve of a scrog a tad offputting. Better early training and different strain choice would help. Also bags not buckets...lots I will change next winter when I try again.Thats a nice screen full!!
Get ready for them to do some more growing,,, I have a bag seed in with 4 w.w. and it shot up so much i LST'ed them down and they
reach to all 4 sides of my screeen...
You will probably need to get some fan leaves gone soon.. for air and light penetration
i'm hoping the trade off for all the defoliation and hst/lst is going to pay off in harvest volume, and there will alot less trimming during cut downYes, needs more gone.

Thanks for the https://www.growweedeasy.com/nebulas-flowering-stage-defoliation-tutorial link. Thats going to be some helpful info to add. I was trying to copy https://www.growweedeasy.com/scrog-tutorial alot when I started this one. I am still not done reading thru this thread. So many squirrels.i'm hoping the trade off for all the defoliation and hst/lst is going to pay off in harvest volume, and there will alot less trimming during cut down
since alot has happened from weeks 4-10, now they are only growing buds rather than fans,,
couldn't exactly tell what size cord/string you were screening with, but IMO the thicker the cord the better...i'm at about clothesline thickness and
my buds/stems/stalks would be getting cut into if they were mason string, which i considered using
I've been trying to follow LBH's Famous ScrOG Tutorial | Grow Weed Easy and Nebula's Flowering Stage Defoliation Tutorial | Grow Weed Easy
my first attempt to grow, I figured I'd try to follow instructions and see what i get..... it's been a great learning experience to say the least..
I doubt you stunted them, they still have lots of fans, i may have done mine a little too much at times trying to 'get light to all the bud sites', and i' probably could have plucked some lower bud sites off the stems/stalks yet, but at this time, i'm going to let them run the rest of the way out...
the picture of the nice double cola and the white hair bud site that looks like a caterpillar are both on a "tri-leaf" w.w. sprout, I guess it's an occasional oddity,, idk if the Caterpillar will form all the way out, but the double head is looking sweet!!
The stalk that is stripped is from a male i had to kill, just an example of the HST i had put into all of them...
here's pics from today, the 3 buds are from the trileaf plantThanks for the https://www.growweedeasy.com/nebulas-flowering-stage-defoliation-tutorial link. Thats going to be some helpful info to add.

I love every bit of time I get to spend with my plants. I am used to putting my buckets up on a table for their salon time. Old knees and back complained about some of the crawling around that comes with this kind of growing. That said, I am so excited with anticipation. Ive seen some really nice grows here. Good luck with yours. I will follow along
Got some blissful wizard from my local dispensary a few months ago... Top notch smokeFirst scrog. 2nd week of flower. 4X8 CFL. 3 blissful wizard and a blackhammer.

Don't worry about rough handling at that age, they can take manual adjustments and you would have a better 'feel' as toTucking Tool

A knitting needle is good for smoothly moving foliage and branches around a scrog or anytime.
Good to know but the tool is good at picking them out then I grab it...Don't worry about rough handling at that age, they can take manual adjustments and you would have a better 'feel' as to
the branches resistance to bending/moving using your fingers... the amount of adjustments under a scrog between 4-12 weeks is crazy
so you might feel like you were knitting!!! lol
Had 2 split during HST pin downs, and a duct tape bandaid cover from the light, they healed in a week and are strong as shit
a month later
Weaving really isnt needed. I just reached under the screen and pulled them back under. Not all that difficult.Don't worry about rough handling at that age, they can take manual adjustments and you would have a better 'feel' as to
