I know right I can not wait to dial it in, and know exactly what im feeding her. She needs to be in top shape there are a ton of bud sites I will definitely need to know how to feed her as much as she needs.

No worries I have already broke two fan leaves and it didn't seem to hurt her at all. I also broke that one branch and its completely fine and perking up.

Update day 9 flower

So I have to say she is really taking off I am exposing a ton of sites and there are so fuckin many it is amazing. The growth is insane she is drinking a bucket a day of water I cant wait for my PPM meter to get here so I can really dial it in. I am just going to tie the branches in the back down because there is room over there and there is a exposed spot by the PVC so they should fit in just fine. The Ph has been slowly rising throughout the day, I guess she is eating a lot its become easier and easier to keep the ph stable. The stem is monstrous by the end of the grow it will be ripping the plug apart like the HULK.

Nice looking man. My stems look just like yours with the bubbles and everything. I am starting to fill out nicely too. Mine as well is drinking a lot per day. Stinky as all hell too lol. I am in about week 3 of veg and feeding 500ppm. Started to see a bit of a burn so tomorrow prolly going down to 425ppm. Nice to see your grow is really working out for you.

Jim.. I looked threw your last few set of pictures and I dont see much wrong.. them spots you see can come and go but Ive never seen them turn into somthing that effected yeild in anyway.. When I have seen them they last for a week or so then usally end up clearing itself up within about 2 weeks.. usally right before they start the 12/12 stretch.. it is posible it could use some cal.. however thats only if your using RO or Distilled water..

Yea I noticed she looked much better after adding a little cal mag I have been using a lot of RO water from the store. I dont mind it because the only leaves that were affected were at the bottom and the way she is filling in they will be long gone.

My TDC/EC/ppm meter came already calibrated. I did have to calibrate my PH meter though. I also saved the calibration liquids. :)
Yea I buy the calibrating liquid because I am always paranoid that my meter will become uncalibrated and my readings will be wrong without me knowing it I like to check my Ph meter every few months just to make sure its accurate. It is probably overkill since I am really not sure if they can uncalibrate themselves but better safe than sorry it was only 9 bucks for a big bottle that should last years..

I'm assuming you clean up the underside after the stretch is over. That would allow the plant to focus it's energy on the portion of the plant getting light.

Right, I think once the canopy is filled which should be by the end of the week I will start to slowly trim tiny hidden nodes off that wont make it up so they dont take away any energy. I will let the large fan leaves die off on their own I figure the plant already made them no sense in removing them when they will work till the end and the plant will absorb nutrients from them.

yeah,don't mess with the lower yet. I typically TUCK them under the screen, I don't tie them down to the screen. But your at day ten and the stretch may be coming to an end.

They look great, next time however, wait another week to flip and fill that screen a little more. Its all about knowing how much the strain stretches.

Yea I had no clue so I didn't want to over fill the screen I will definitely have some small gaps very small ones. Next time I think I will use two buckets, not only because I hate only having 1 plant in-case something happens to it Id rather have a backup. But I will be able to veg less and I feel the screen is too big its difficult to get those far edges filled.

I was going to tuck those one branches but I feel they are too far past the screen and I would definitely snap them.

I kept pullling mine under into the 3rd week. It was too much I think for these F1 hybrids. I noticed some of the lower part of some buds are growing horizontal. Just a warning, I thought I would get more stretch and they would all come up. I didn't. 1st scrog is a learning experience. My next one I will let it go around 7-10 days. Specific for my strain. Just thought I should warn you. Ive seen in threads and guides to pull them under until strech is completed. I would say no, halfway through to ensure the bottom of the buds grow over the top of the screen. I have some uneveness where that nug on the bottom of the bud didnt make it up. It just wasted sspace. It was my error.
