Nah the plant will double in size over the next few weeks I usually only veg plants till they are 12in tall this one was about 14in when I started flower I am sure I will have the screen full.

Room looks tight. She's looking good. I forget what strain that is too.lol I know it's not Widow. She'll definately stretch her leggs and fill that nicely. One little issue for me, the screen. There's a big ass wave in it. Can you tighten that up some? I know it doesn't have to be perfect but thats a wave dude. lol

It is so hard to reach all the way back there I cant do much about it, I figure the plants will just ride the wave. Its Cole Train from Reserve Privada, and I hope its a girl I should know in two more days.

Rather than "weave" the stem through and out and through and out, just pull any growth that has come up through the screen by 2" or more, back under the screen and away from the main stem. The side branches will end up shooting up and eventually filling the screen. I would keep pulling the main stems under and away and let the side branching have the top light. When they start to get bigger, gently pull them under and relocate under the screen. When your plants start the flowering stretch, you will be busy relocating the main stems back under the screen. Towards the end of stretching, allow the side branching to come through the screen, followed by the main tops. This will give you an even canopy with LOTS of cola tops. You are not really weaving the screen, you are using the screen to force the plant to grow horizontally. This stimulates branching and new growth tips, which become colas.

check on Scotty's PPM at this point in his journal. I believe he steps up the PPM at this stage to provide extra nitrogen for the new branch growth.

I'm jealous of your grow. I'm only at day 3 of seedling life. :)

In only weaved when I didn't train for a couple days and they got farther above the screen then I wanted. You need twice the length of stem to weave. If your holes are an inch or smaller I wouldn't advise trying to weave, your going to break shit.

Weaving also makes it a pain to harvest, unless you plan on cutting from the top. It may also take a spot away from a tip. There may be a pro or two for weaving, but I can't think of one for the moment...

just thought of one, would add support to plant, especially if you have a rigid screen.

Good job!! I see all kinds of branching taking place. Do you have a fan above and below the canopy? I have 4 plants, two weeks into flower, and I just pinched them and added a screen. It's amazing how the nodes pop up and start sprouting new grouth tops. Before I pinched, each plant had maybe 4-6 growth tops. After pinching, more than double. I decided to add the screen to support the pinched mains.

Jim, is the plant taking in more nutrients now that it has more tips? I'm just curious what a good PPM is at this stage. Are you using the Flora Nova Bloom? Sorry for all the questions. I'm extremely interested in your grow and outcome.

I am just following the directions on the bottle I dont have a PPM meter, it seems to be working out I have some damaged leaves but only like 5% maybe less. I am just going to keep following the directions right now 2tsp per gallon.

I just have fans at the bottom I have that 4in can fan pumping fresh air in and another fan in their its pretty fuckin windy. I have two tiny clip fans but they dont seem to provide much wind, so I may look at some other ones I need one I can hang from the poles or suspend from the ceiling.

Do you have PH meter?

man things are looking good jim. i just started flowering today well yesterday at 10pm. Was able to catch up on your journal and glad too cause i too was weaving, which seemed like it wasnt needed so that helped. i have a digi now but no cord or memory card (all internal). so until i get either a cord or card im stuck but its nice too see that even after your setback with the ww ur doing good excited to see how it goes
