    Hi I moved 2 of 3 plants into my flowering stall - as shown in the PIC I’m trying the SCROG approach and was wondering if there is anything obviously wrong with what I’ve done so far - I’ve positioned them the best I could relative to the tops and mesh holes. The third plant will be placed to the right of the foremost plant in a few days once I know it is gnat free. I do have a second screen I can add on top of the structure at any height I want - if necessary. Thanks

    Looks good! How are you planning to train them out to fill more scrog sections?

    There are still about 6 tops per plant that need to grow and be trained toward the openings + the third plant. I plan to switch the lights in a week or so .

    You should start pulling the tops out from the center of the plant in order to get light into the middle so the middle tops will begin to catch up. I use scrog, manifolding, LST and supercropping on mine to get them to fill the space. Here's one of the plants I'm growing right now. This is a 2 x 2 ft scrog. The training started at day 30 when I manifolded. This is day 57. I'm planning to start flower in 31 days after she's bulked up and I have as many tops as I want it to have.

    Hmmm - nice, I will see what I can do relative branch bending, I’m inferring that I should maybe wait until all/most tops have penetrated the screen before switching to 12:12 which will be about 2 weeks at current growth rate and I will probably have to reposition some of them
    Thanks

    Right. Allow the main tops to be brought out, open the middle and let the smaller tops catch up. I'm pretty patient about it. It can have some very positive affects for yield.

    I use soil called Rocket Fuel from a place in Oregon called Rogue Soil. One bag of soil in a 15 gallon fabric grow bag with the rest mixed with extra large perlite.

    Each of my plants have 4 HLG QB132 boards above them at 300 watts and 3500k.

    Added third plant after 2 weeks of no gnat sightings - plant on the left looked like it started to get light burn after a few days in the flower stall - I’ve raised the light 6 inches - hopefully she will respond favorably - (any other advice for this plant?) gonna do a final trim and add some string as necessary after they veg another four inches or so and the switch the light. Thanks

    I’m curious as to why the one on the right has leaves that point straight up - was that caused by a light issue in my veg stall?

    Just an update, they have been doing okey and I think I’ll be able to completely fill the mesh but not until they stretch - I’m gonna need this space in April for my outdoor grows prior to transplant so I need to start the flowering phase like now - am I going to have issues trying LST on the branches during the stretch phase? Thanks

    I usually try to get all movement out of the way before flower starts, but I have moved them through flower week 2 without any problems.

    I’m happy so far - when I first moved them, the one on the left got effed up - appeared to be from the new light but after a week it started to recover

    Thanks - I’m gonna patch up some holes in the flower stall and add some more thermal insulation so I can reduce heating electricity needs - bought some controls to automate humidity control and already have automated thermal control but if runs a lot.

    Well I started 12 hour darkness on Wed night, now they want fluid every 2 days - I definitely see them stretching
