SCROG (sour diesel)

[SBBCal]

Morning RIU! Question/suggestions on scrog. Plants are 45 days , Sour Diesel is the strain and is the reasoning for the question. Worried about the stretch during flower , never have done an indoor SD run.. 4x4x6.5. I was planning on filling the whole screen before flip but now im second guessing . Any thoughts? Thanks

Just keep tucking and weaving through the stretch
You have plenty of room

Thx for the reply, are you suggesting I flip soon?

They are going like crazy the past couple days, that was another worry, they are starting to take off.

I would flip do those purple light bar things help a lot?

Sour D is a sativa, so your likely to see a good stretch out of them... id go ahead and flip pretty soon so you still have room to tuck her under as needed

Thats why i posted, sativa especially SourD explodes. I fimmed and topped so there are a shit load of colas hidden right underneath the canopy about to pop out. Cheers and thanks!

Lol you know im not sure. They are 40w pull (10w per bar) so im sure they are doing a little supplemental help. I use them for germination/popping soil.

Figured it couldn't hurt. They are on clamps and can be manipulated anyway you want. Fun little shits for $30

Light green in colour and purple stems. Is this normal? I ask because I have one in hydro. I’m 20 days in from rooted clone

I had a problem with my soil about a week ago. Fixed it, back right plant is still a little light but is on its way. The purp is caused by LED i believe, at least what ive read. Some say sourD has purple stems in its genetics. Im not 100% sure.

Light color in new growth is normal especially when topped or fimed

If you aren't seeing other issues, and only purple or red stems, it is most likely not an issue. It happens to many different strains, and can happen for a bunch of different reasons (from issues to genetics)

Now that i think of it, seedling stage i was running old school Burp leds on them . And i remember seeing something on here about it causing purple stems

About to flip and have been reading conflicting threads on flipping going straight 12/12, some saying 24 hours no lights some 36 hour no light. I lean towards more natural side (12/12) but if science can be used to bend the rules a little , im down. Red's start to transition after 12 hours of darkness but can be boosted by doing 24/36 no light before the flip? Thoughts? Results?

I just go straight to 12/12,no science behind it.24 hr dark before flip makes sense u save that much Electric.

What if electric is fine, im talking the actual "botany" side of it. 24-36 hr dark before you flip , does the extended dark time trigger flowering faster and speed up the process ect.

I think it would help,look at thge outdoor guys it takes a month to see change.When i switch it takes about 7 days.I dont have any science behind it but like i said for me its the electric savings thats more important.I dont think there would be a huge difference between the both.

I run lights at night so ladwp doesn't rape me for "prime" usage which is pretty much sun up to sun down . Do you scrog? If so, do you continue to weave during early flower stretch , or let em go ?? Thx for the reply
