Since I am not right out to the edge of the pot with the stakes thinking of adding a scrog net.

Any advise on when to put in the scrog net and what is the best height for it?
You can go as low as you want. I would suggest 6 to 8 inches depending on how you feed/water. You don't want it to tight*.

*the space between the net and your pot.

Honestly, I install my scrog at whatever height I need to spread my budsites out decently. And I make it easily adjustable using wire encased in thick rubber as anchors in the corners. As she grows I can slightly untwist the rubber wire, move up, adjust budsites as needed, and twist the anchors tight again.

EDIT: You did good defoliating I think, enough that the plant's open and can breathe but plenty leaves left for photosynthesis. Also, I noticed much of your new growth is yellowish at the start/heart of your leaves. It looks like your leaf tips are slightly down curling/hooking. That lines up with sulphur deficiency starting, but also maybe Iron? Lol

Cheers, how should I fix the sulphur deficiency? I have Biobizz grow, top max, bloom and Calmag.
I don't think any of those are for suplur or iron.

Watered about 2.5l each with full strength BioBizz Grow.
So 1ml per 1litre.

I measured PPM of feed water and it was 200ppm while the run off was 800ppm. Tap water was 50ppm

Do these values sound right?

The plants probably don't look the best.

The yellow leaf tips are still there on the Purple Lemonade so not sure what that is.

So far I'm happy that I have been able to keep them short. Currently about 15cm/6 inches from the soil.

Hopefully I can keep them short for the next few weeks.

I know I am photo bombing this thread but it helps to monitor the growth and means I don't have to keep photos on my phone.

Any and all advise welcome.

The purple lemonade is coming along very nice( yellow leaf tips aside) loads of pistils on the bud sites now. And all the branches seem to have grown a couple of inches today.

Any advise on whether to continue with LST or switch to SCROG?

Do a little more LST to try and flatten them and also spread out the potential bud sites.
Struggling a bit trying to pull them down when they are outside the edge of the pot.

Still not sure if this is the right way to do this.

The purple lemonade seems to be stretching now even compared to the photos this morning.

Getting a decent amount of growth and could move a few of the top growths to the next square in the netting.

I am now getting worried about the horizontal space as well as the vertical :wall::weed:

Hopefully the stretch won't be too much

Looking good! Keep working them, you have a few more weeks of tucking. You may want to consider cleaning them up. I would start with the big older leaves underneath and anything growing inward. If you are unsure, just try it on one plant.

Did a bit of defoliation. Another problem is that is nearly hard to get around to the back of the tent.

I've got a couple of little shelves for the tent.

This will allow me to move the dehumidifier off the floor.

Might also consider hanging the tube heater but will need to make sure that it is safe.

I've also got too little fans that I am going to use to getter circulation under the canopy.

Watered each with out 1,750 ml.

The Purple Lemonade front right got half strength of Top Max, Bloom and full of Grow.

While the Cream Cookies got Grow and 1/4 strength Bloom with no Top Max as it is a little further behind.

Should I lollipop and start letting the growth grow up yet or wait another for another week or so?
Take a picture at pot level. Also from looking you can still tie down to your pot if they're not quite long enough to hit the net good. Or if you want to put tension on from a different angle. They're still low enough to utilize those.
