Cool. Just no defoliation until the start of week 3 of flower and only then if the plants are too dense to allow light to the lower buds.
No defoliation without justification (or valid reason), to paraphrase the Boston Tea Party revolutionaries.

Man U can’t for the life of me understand how much this put into perspective for me! You can say do whatever but until you’re hands on you just won’t understand!

before I seen this post I pinched them overthe idea was bc they stretch so muchit’s was a few and not all but honestly just over night they grown literally inch or more! Praying the pinch won’t hurt

Been growing for years indoors, both vertical and horizontal grows. You can finds some of them in my signature.

This is my first real try at a SCrog and I know I fucked it up but still have some question to make the grow a success. I kept the mainstems tied down but not the branching coming of the mains. Well they have stretched 250% plus and the canopy has covered most lower growth. I could use a bit of advice!!!!

Day 30 of 12/12

Multi buds but I am wondering about the lower stem growth.
Should I be taking this lower growth off?
I am sure it would help the upper buds.

Here is the overall canopy.

Oh, the reason the positioning of the plants in the photo don't match is I am on a Lazy Susan rotating screen that I can move along the tracks of the drain tray. Sure make it easier on this ol' body.

Guess since I let it get away I will just manage it as a run-a-way horizontal grow and start trimming those darn ol' bitches. :)

Would like a comment on this, as I truly don't know what my options are.
I have begun taking the lower shit off each stem. Hope I am not fucking up.
I'm still new, so my $.02 is worth about that much...

Imho, canopy top looks nice & even - maybe a second trellis on top for support as they swell?

I'm going to be running my first scrog on this grow and was wondering about training secondary branches - Thanks for the pic and the report! :bigjoint:

edit: --- oops forgot to answer your question; I would defol below the light level, but leave enough foliage to power through flower.

Looking good in there! Pretty tight!!! Love your SCROG design btw!! I prefer to trim all lower secondary bud sites and branches prior to or at flip to 12/12. My rule of thumb is if the top won't reach above the trellis or will be completely blocked by main branch then cut it off to redirct energy. Just my $.02. :peace:

At this stage, I'd leave all bud sites for uppermost 1-1.5ft or so? Depends on light penetration mostly, but you could determine the cutoff elevation for lollipoping based on node spacing. For example, only trim up to where you get tighter spacing that will fill in to form top colas. Or just leave everything above trellis, chop main colas when done and give lower buds a few more weeks to finish.

This is what it looked like when I started 12/12

I did not tie down the laterals. That is where I fucked up.

Hello fellow Scroggers. I have a question, this is my first Scrog so go easy on me...lol. When my plants were below the screen they were a deep dark green now that they are flowering the leaves are pale green but they are healthy otherwise. Any help would be appreciated.

Pale leaves are a sign that the nutrients are being translocated. That's a good thing, and will give you smoother smoke (or at least the lore says so).

No further help required.

Hey everyone.

This is my first attempt as using the SCROG method. Lots of fun, I can see my self using this more in the future. I definitely have a lot to improve on. What do you folks think?

I've already posted my grow here First SCROG grow. with additional information if you are interested, I will be updating that thread until completion.

Feedback is more then welcomed!
Cheers! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

I have a question, I vibe built a trellis out and transitioned the plants for three days then flipped them.View attachment 4704118 Now going on day 4-5 flower and the main kola is coming throwing in all them the same on one side when to defoliate and how much people keep saying bottom third and I get that but I look at these plants and think they View attachment 4704119maybe don’t need a defoliation but I know that isn’t correct either so that is what I am asking I wanted to not do it my way again and see what others thought

Pictures are top and bottom of the trellis would I be wrong to take everything under my trellis right now thanksView attachment 4704120
Your set up is very clean so good job bro. I think your doing things right but may want more advise from more experienced growers. I just had a question about what looks like a large sized humidifier in the back ground. Wonder if it is indeed a humidifier and what brand also if it is directly plumbed to a water source? Thanks in advance

Sorry my guy, Not a humidifier. It's just a small space heater that I use in the morning to helps get my temp up to 26C, Throughout the day the temp will drop gradually to 21C and once the light go off, the temp will drop to 19C. I do use a small Honeywell ultrasonic humidifier in the winter as things start getting really dry. The only word of caution I can offer in regards to the humidifier is use RO water. Otherwise if you have hard water, your walls and plants will get caked in Calcium/mineral dust.
