First time tent grow..plants really bushy

Depends, do you want them to be mobile? If so then no net. You could also cut down a tomato cage and use it.
I don’t use netting, instead I supercrop and tie branches apart early on, when they add weight I tie branches to one another but leave them still separated for air flow.

I like Harry prefer to be able to move my plants than to have them set in place. If l had automatic watering this would change. Supercropping and lst work best imo! But we all have one. Kushman chiroprcticy is good for manipulating bigger branches too, on you tube take a look. And yes l would of started lst when pretty small.

yep. 2 layers of netting would be good, about 10" apart
will be ready to flip soon, within 10 days. wont need to supercrop if flipped at right time.
after flower week 1, lollipop (strip) everything below top 2/3 nodes. after week 3, clean up anything below bottom net that isnt getting direct light.
sit back and enjoy the show, looking good in there. keep it up!

I actually bought two nets , but didn't know about using them or not. Planned on flipping them at 8 weeks, is that too late ? Do I start counting flower weeks as soon as I flip ? Never had to support them outdoors. So the first net would go on after you flip ?

Put a tomato cage on each one. Problem solved.
No , only when they are young.. then I always took the tomato cage off. Once they get big, not a problem

Time to flip is typically determined by size limitations, so number of weeks in veg varies grow to grow
Flower day count begins the day we switch to 12/12.
I set the lower net when I flip because I'm usually manipulating/topping and defoliating up to that point. I can still remove the pots from the tent if net isnt set, makes it easier to work on em. Once I flip to flower though, the pots dont come out until harvest.
Nets dont get removed from tent, I just slide them up when not needed in veg. I dont weave the plant through the net, so I avoid having to cut the net up to harvest. This is what works for me

One plant too many in that tent. Everything is okay now but by week 4 of flower there will be a crowd.
I’d flip them now. Will fill the whole space pretty fast.
I don’t usually support my plants unless I’m doing a scrog. I bought tomato cages to try on my current grow. But put one in and took it out.
Just gonna let them do their thing.
Most of the time the branches are heavy enough to hold the bud weight.

Kinda late now huh ?? Damn... think it's gonna be a big problem ?

Put a screen over them and flip now. Don't wait trying to train to fill the screen. Those plants will take care of that.
7 weeks and 3 days since I flipped to 12/12. I was thinking maybe I should have waited longer to flip them, cause I still have some room left, but I was told it's better to keep them shorter.. I feel like I'm wasting room?
