This is just my personal preference, so take it for what it's worth...If you plan on topping then I personally wouldn't pull them down the way you are right now. Instead, top them and get more of a manifold shape going, so you the branches will more evenly distribute the weight when the buds start fattening up later on in flower.

Ok I can do that no problem! Before I do that I was planning on using Scrog method. Won’t this help me with the weight distribution later on? If not I will definitely try another route experience is everything and I have little of that on the subject

SCROG will help with the weight as long as you do it correctly. Just don't use one of those stretchy trellis nets if you want support. I personally find SCROG nets to be more trouble than they are worth unless you have full access to 3 sides of the tent. I'm going back to garden stakes in each pot if I need extra support with my current round of plants.

I appreciate the advice man! You a full time grower? How many plant you grow at a time I can only have 24 as of now hopefully be taking on some more once I can get this down! But for now this is hard enough never knew it was this tough

Yeah, I had a stretchy net and it quickly made me want to murder people. I ended up building my own trellis frame out of those rails that are meant to hang wire shelves on the wall, then tightly strung it with weed whacker string, and ziptied where the strings crossed to make it really sturdy.
Here's what it looks like when it is set up.
I'm a home grower, but I grow back to back, so I'm constantly growing. I only do 4 plants at a time, but I veg and train them to fill my 4x4 tent. I usually have plants started in a smaller tent, finish them off in the larger tent, and then also get some going outside during the growing season here.

Wow that’s cool man that’s what I’m talking about! I’m going to be putting 14 of mine outside also I’m in Michigan.. this will be the first indoor hopefully I can get my shit together the whole nutrients and watering thing was the toughest and I still ain’t got it down pat!?
But I think I was over thinking the shit I just want to be able to train these up and get some decent nugs the yield isn’t huge huge but I’d like to see some return I just want chrono buds to smoke I’m a cancer patient and have lots of time on my hands and I smoke a lot of flower

How far is the net placed and how tall are the plants when you flip? Do they grow a lot during flower height wise!? I would assume they would atleast double?

I find indoor so much easier because you have full control over the grow. With indoor grows, having a quality light makes all the difference, but you will still get some decent results even if your light isn't that great.Wow that’s cool man that’s what I’m talking about!

I veg mine for 6-8 weeks before I flip them into flower. I keep them tied down, so they spread out wide, and have been able to keep them around 10"-12" tall when they go into flower. When I used the net I just placed it 6 or so inches above the plants when they are ready to flip. They usually at least double in height by the time they are done with the early flower stretching, but I've had some strains more than triple in height. The Purple Haze I grew last year stretched like crazy.
This is the first 11 days of flower for that grow

Just go light on the nutrients and you should be fine. I honeslty think most issues new indoor growers have are caused by over feeding and over watering.

That kit looks amazing but extremely expensive. I'd be all over those if they were $20-$30 for each plant.These are expensive ... but they make lst a snap
