Need Scrog advice.

I know that the canopy needs to be filled up. But I have 3 plants all at different heights. I've managed to get them all at the same level and they are all in bending training. I topped all the shoots. So there are "twin towers at each internode and at the top. They are in day 10 of flower and I turned up my 400 watt hps light to 75%. I haven't fed them yet because I transplanted them prior to flower.

Another concern is the biggest plant is the most mature and already formed pre flower pistles by day 3 of flower. The other two are slowly maturing based on their size and have not formed pre flower pistles yet.

Question: can I scrog despite the possibility of not having a full canopy and the fact that one is maturing faster than the others an issue? I know I can't rush the flowering process. But I would like these girls to be on the same page. I assumed that I might have a small light leak in a certain area of my tent but I fixed it. I thought that might have been an issue.

Usually in scrogs you would already have the veg training and even canopy already stripping all lower growth then flip to flower so they grow threw the netting percectly. Doesnt really matter the different plants as long as you have the plants spread out enough to have an even canopy and room for flower development

Yea your right. But I was in the middle of bending them to allow the internode growth to get more light that I lost track of putting my screen up. I'm considering putting it up now because I have a hunch that I will need the support for bud growth. The strain is strawberry Kush and its yield is pretty high (650 g/m^2)

Your almost into 2 weeks of flowering alot of growers dont add anymore stress after this time because of tkme for recovering and the amount of stress can effect your yield in my opinion since you are already concerned about the tallest one start lollipopping it and open it up using bamboo sticks these you can also use as bud support if you need it the smaller ones start defoliating and lollipopping them and put the net over those so you maintain that scrog to perfection since all are same height and let that taller one go without a scrog and you can see what works out for you best of luck happy growing!! :weed:

Don't stress on it, as long as you keep the tall guys in check and the shorty in direct light and they all have a full canopy. You can also trick a plant by moving its highest lighted point lower to make it act like its been topped, without loosing the top. Ten you can top the others and regain some lost elevation that way. Sometimes I give an intentional offset of several feet knowing ahead of time the characteristics of the cut, and how it will stretch and compete with its roommates. Looks like your light leak has reverted the runt into veg but given how recently you flipped them, it should be hardly noticeable when all's said and done, hung, dried clipped then flipped.

The best advice I was given on scrog was that for a new, or newer grower you are better suited to not, leave the advance techniques to the more advanced growers and work your way up to them, keep growing learn from mistakes and you will get there, hopefully I will to

Thanks to everyone for your great advice. I truly appreciate it. I decided to scrog it, despite my timing. I found a netting that I had to cut down to size. It the ending of week 2 in a few days. They've came along way and exceeded my expectations. Thanks for being on my journey. I'll update in a few days. Hopefully they grow a lil bit more.

Use books to raise up the short plants, carefully pull tops over to the next square if they stretch too far ect. When running multiple strains in a scrog, i usually dont get it right the first time. Takes some strain experience ect.
