Here is mine screen in @ day 25 of veg. How much longer you guys think before I flip the switch? It's only 1/2" or so away from the screen @ pushing 7" tall.

Dude you need to let the plant grow through the screen and start pulling the branches back through the screen way before you think about flowering....otherwise its not a scrog

:lol: I only have 26" of vertical! Screen is 18x32" Another month or two of veg would make the plant taller than the whole tent haha.
Thats the whole point of a scrog is to have better yields from vertically limited space....read the thread and you'll see how no part of the plant is 3" above the screen during veg due to pulling the branches back through the screen and laying them horizontal

I say at least a month. Unless you have a saliva pheno your plant won't stretch 2 feet. Lol
Fill your screen and get two or three nodes above and out of the screen and then flip your plant will stretch 18 - 24 inches worst case scenario. The filling of the screen takes a few weeks then the growth out of the screen and above the wire will be a week maybe two. A month would do you well. :)

No joke

Check out my first scrog attempt. You will see the method required as far as pulling and training.

See how I pulled em beneath then after they grew the length of the screen I let all the colas start developing and then when they poke through the screen I weave em to get the strength of the actual screen. That's what its about. Allowing the weight of the buds to sit on the screen and use it as a support to grow massively huge. That was my first ever attemp. I got a VERY GOOD PERSPECTIVE OF SCROGGING. this will be my method for ever :

At 18-24" taller than what it is now it'll be bigger than the grow space. Tent is 60" tall, with fan filter light and waterfarm there is only 26" total of vertical. It's 7" now so 19" left.

HEy MR SHim......

Ys you DEF need to let that bad boy grow ALOT into the screen.
last month i was were you are at now..... i had my plant under my screen adn it was about 4 inches from ever reaching it....it made me sad, and i wanted it to HURRY THE FUCK UP.....
I came on the boards asking if i should flower now, and i was told the same thing.

1) go back to page on eof this thread, make a sandwich and some coffee and read all 190 pages of it.(im only on page 49 but im reading every post)
2) prepare for a long ass veg time, its what will give you a HUGE yield from a plant or two.
3) google SCGOG adn read everything you can find on the subject.
4) start to LST now, you want to expose those lower branches to light



^ do this and it will help you SOOO Much, it will make it so your veg time is longer, but you will end up with more light getting to teh lower/side branches, thus giving you more bud site and larger side branches. this combined with a scrog screen seems to be the best way to get a large amount of buds form a single plant.

Check my journal for a scrog screen that is still 3-4 weeks form Flowering, you are a LOOOOONG way off, but dude it WILL be worth it. I was sad as hell when i was where you are at, but now that im seeing all the growth that has come about due to the scroging ,ethod....

Be patient man its worth it.

here are my two plants in my scrog, i am a month into veg adn will prolly do another 3-4 weeks. The rule of thumb is this:

Fill you screen to 70-80%, then flower. Your determining factor is the sceen, when it is filled u enough, you flower. Not before, if you go to soon, you are just wasting you light energy, and time.
Also keep in mind im VERY new to scrogging, This thread helped me SOOOOOOOO much.

I hear ya. What I was doing is basically a mimic of this grow..

https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/344359-pineapple-express-g13-labs-seed.html

vegged for 25 days, flipped lights then weaved and ended up with 10oz if I remember right. I will definitely read this thread more than I have. I've been through a few pages but not every one. Here's a pdf of the his grow actually made by someone so it made it easier to read the entire thread https://viewer.zoho.com/docs/rZH0i
