awesome buddy, this is my list to choose from when i do my scrog next grow..still a little bit of confusion about which strain to pick :) it seems as though there is alomst no right/wrong time to clear out the bottom of your screen. i guess trial and error would be the best method. im deff going to read that g13 article since its one of the strains i might be choosing.

Trying a little experiment. I trimmed off half of the under growth, then am going to wait a few days to see how that half of the plant reacts compared to the half i didn't trim. Or if it reacts the same. Almost all of what I cut off was leaves that weren't really getting much light. Because the screen is close to the bucket almost every top that grew made it to the screen which puts me at 30+ tops. Now they just need to be a little bit further apart from each other

Mine was showing before I switched to 12/12 but usually anywhere from 1-10 days. I don't think mine will fill up the entire screen, it's not stretching like I thought it would, nevertheless it is a very top heavy plant, meaning it has over 30 tops all of which are above the screen and all of them are looking lovely and showing pistils everywhere. I went ahead and trimmed up the rest of the bottom leaves.

I am using the same buckets converted to rdwc/drip and air stones in each and every bucket.
I am on week 5 of flowering and my buckets are completely filled with roots!
Looking nice man! Can't wait to see your finished product!

You can trim away whenever you like.. I usally knock off the sucker growth that I know will never make it threw the screen no sence in sending valuable energy to them sites just to cut them out of the loope later.. that energy will be redirected to the top of the plant.. btw looking Good :)

Yep, usually walmart or walgreens. Their caps are the same and fit the filler hose I made.

Almost there, keep stretching her out! You want there to be gaps and for light to come through. That's what's going to spur that growth that's going to fill the gaps (assuming you're still training and creating gaps.) She's looking sexy as hell!

I'm trying to get those two gaps filled in. Not sure if it's gonna it seems to have slowed a lot in vertical and is starting to focus more on budding. I know they are still a bit too close but I'm hoping it'll fill in completely in a week or so.

Thanks for the sub! Regardless of how this grow turns out (epic or meh) I'm going to stick with this setup until I can afford to run 8+ waterfarms. really amazing way to grow.

Still looking good man - I'd maybe hold off on trimming any more of the bottom stuff for now, and watch your tops start to take off. You'll see some of the other lower leaves start to shrivel back after awhile and then they can be removed later. She's going to go through some stretching, so you don't want to stress her out any more than that right now I'd think.

Keep it up! :leaf:

Hey, not sure if you have been asked, but I can't find it in the thread anywhere...How far between the top of the waterfarm and the screen? So wish I had done this. Looking good!

Oh hey! Back from vacation? I'm not cutting anymore, there is still some left to cut but I figured what I did was plenty and I didn't want to do like you said stress it out too much.

Most do a foot, I thought that was a bit far so I did 6", the foot is so you can get a gallon jug inside there to fill up the res, I made a filler hose so I don't have to do that and just hold the jug outside the tent with those hose in the waterfarm.
