Maybe you or someone else can answer this question.
Keeping in mind i have no clue what strain im running as its a random bagseed.
When should i stop tucking.
Ive read so many mixed opinions. Sone say stop the first day of 1/12
And some say do it up until 2 weeks into flower.
I want to get the most i can out of this 1 plant so im not sure which route would be better.
I read alot of thread but sometimes to much info floods me with misinformation.

Basically, you just continue tucking as long as there's something to tuck
You will find that after flipping to 12/12 your plant will stretch (alot or a litlle, depending on your mystery plant's genetics and your environment) - and you will want to tuck that growth. After a while (1-3 weeks) she'll settle in and there won't be much elongating growth anymore as she starts putting all she's got into growing those buds.
So you'll just stop tucking when the plant gives you nothing more to tuck - it is that simple if you just go with your plant, it just gets complicated when people try to formulate generally valid rules of thumb
HTH and congrats on the flip!

ok that makes sense.
I was under the assumption that if I kept tucking during flower I would end up tucking my colas and screwing it up.
but it sounds like I can tuck 2-3 weeks into flower so I'll be doing that.
I currently have either a cal or a mag deficiency. I've fed it some epsom salt and it's still spreading after 2 days so maybe it's a cal issue.
I'm going to pin point it this weekend when I have time. I hope anyways.
new and old growth is sporadically getting black spots with yellowing around them. not many leaves have it only a few. the rest are all healthy green.

Hey....2nd scrog learnt heaps in first, had a re shuffle around the system now running coco with recirculated solution. Here's a couple of pictures of them flipped 3 days ago.
Just changed lights to the cxb 3590 with HLG 240 drivers got rid of the fucking cheap LED's BIG difference in performance and cost efficiency!! Thanks Growmau5 for sharing your knowledge!

Talk about a screen of green!
How many plants?
Oh and how many COBs per area have you got?
Cheers!

Hey Bud.... 3 plants per 4 x 4 screen I have 2 screens in a 8x4 tent so 6 plants in total.
COB's I've been watching Growmua5 youtube videos and went with what I thought would be best
for me so I have 24 x 37v Cree CXB 3590 driven be 4 x HLG 240 drivers in my 8x4 tent. I also changed
my watering system and all the changes have made a big difference!! Can't wait to see some bud development.

Day 3 of 12/12. It should be day 5ish but I got blasted and set my timer wrong lol.
She's starting 2 stretch about 2 inches at night.
I've throw in some lime to try to get this cal or mag issue under control.
I already tried Epsom salt for mag and I'm still seeing the black/brown spots with yellowing so I threw in some lime for cal.
It could be a phosphorus issue. But I'll find that out if the line doesn't help. Going to give it a week and see if it stops. I don't want to add so much crap that I cause more issues. Other then a few leaves the damage isn't to bad and it surely isn't affecting its growth.k
Also I'm starting to think she's more sativa a than indica.

Scrog Living, hope you are as well. Good day to you good people.

[QUOTEabout how it looks brother. Grown into the screen, trained to do so. As the canopy fills, removal of lower shaded growth is typical. The density of the canopy can help factor neccesity. When the canopy becomes too dense, you know it by seeing die off in those areas below the screen. Many growers remove growth ahead of those type of issues and focus on the growth above. I hope this is of help to you. Since this post years ago, we have trellised many many varieties of plant. From fruits and veggies to flower varieties and multitude of cannabis cultivars. There is a world yet to explore in the trellising of cannabis and other plants. Let us not forget, we have all but entered the scrog.

Thank you friends.

OK my question and I don't know if I'm overlooking it. But the lower shoots when growing from seed. Don't you have to prune that to obtain the the tree like effect when scrogging?

Its aboit

Brief run down for the record. Been at this for a little while as you fellers and feathers do well know. Tips and tricks of the trade.

I train plants early, before they have come off the parent. The clones are topped and trained accordingly. I am quite aware of my strains characteristics and responces, traits and dislikes. I know the pheno variations and their unique differences. This is of great help in training these plants for the screen. I'm usually entering small bushes into a screen. This method has been tried and true, and still remains the best established method for me. Once full or for some types, nearly full, the photoperiod is triggered. Once flowering begins, training ends. A secondary trellis is added and allows the full canopy to grow vertically into a secondary trellis that supports its progressive growth and weight. The overall method is to increase productivity within the range of full intensity light or direct lighting from above outdoor, thus increasing overall quality. The method employs many techniques and understandings of cannabis biology and its responces to various stressors and manipulation. When we understand these principles, we are best equipped to continue the development of this methodology.

Couple of days later, plenty of shoots! 7 Days into flower.

This was my 1st 2 plant scrog last grow with Nyc Sour Diesel and i found out i needed bigger pots. 3 gallon smart pots weren't enough for my space. Turned out ok but didnt get the screen filled like i wanted. Bigger pots=Bigger plants as i found out.

I currently have a one plant scrog going under a 8 bulb T5ho that is 1 week into flower.

I am currently growing a 1 plant Scrog in a 3.5g DWC setup. My net holes are 4"x4".

I actually have the net only 2-3" above the base of the plant right now. As she grows I will move the net up gradually.

9 days into 12/12 she's just started pushing out pistils.
is it safe for me to keep on tucking? I don't want to over or under tuck her. but I guess not knowing the strain makes it a guessing game.
she's filling in nice.

Yeah I'd say just let her show you herself whether to tuck more
Looking great!

Thank you. I think im done tucking for now. It looks like she wants ro push out pistils.

Is this a 4x4 tent? If so i have the same going with a 4'x8 bulb T5HO. Currently have one in a 20 gallon container, but going to be a 2-3 plant 7 gallon scrog after this

Scrog update- Day 14 starting to form some flower, pretty happy with how fill the screen is.
