How does my net look; first grow.first time using net

I have done a number of scrog grows. First lets get the terminology correct, it is a screen not a net. Next tell me what the screen is made out of and how big are the squares? It looks to me like the screen should be higher and plant tops and branches should be tucked under the screen. When the screen is 70% full of tucked branches you flip to 12/12 for flower. This will allow the stretch in flower to fill the remaining screen area.

 

You want the squares to 2" across, yours look bigger in my opinion, but I am not certain.

 

If you want to Scrog you should get to tucking those plants. What kind and size lighting and how far away from the plants do you have it? They are either really stretched or you trimmed the crap out of it?

 

What specifically did you like about those nutes?

 

You bought organic soil to dump bottles on it? Those things are butchered. They are green though. Lots of recovery gonna be involved. You seem to be moving at 100 mph and plants don't work that way. Ditch the screen and LITFA so you can understand the plant before you go into high stress training. Go to the organics section if you want a real living soil. No ph testing. No bottles. Just add water. The LIFE in the soil takes care of the rest. Just my nickel in the bucket.

 

If you just flipped to 12/12 you should be really tucking all the growth above the screen to even out The canopy.


Nutes don't mean shit, im literally using just Maxibloom and my plant is thriving only 4 weeks old. Do more research on SCROG method

 

You wont get much use out of that setup with 6 plants under it.

 

You said the nutes stunted your plants, but it looks like your scissors are what stunted them. 3 months those things should be monsters. The best possible thing you could do for your plants is to leave them alone and set the scissors aside until they fill out.

 

Simple fix...don't over feed then there's no reason to flush. Lay off nutes the last few weeks and there's no need for a final flush.

If you still feel it's necessary to flush place a large container under them before putting them under a net and use a wet/dry shop vac or a small water pump to collect the water.

Rather or not the lights being a foot away is OK or not depends on the type of light and how strong

No its really not bro. Ask around lots of people do it that way. I used to flush until I learned how pointless it was. Just cut off the bottled nutes and let the plant use up its reserves before harvest and your all good.

I grow organic now , so there's definitely no reason to flush. But even with synthetic nutes just lay off adding nutrients the last few weeks and it will be just as tasty

All flushing does is remove excess nutrients and salts from the soil and unnecessarily wastes a ton of water. Running a bunch of water through your medium doesn't rinse the plant just the soil. The vast majority of the water goes straight through the medium never even effecting the plant at all. It removes what's in the soil so it's not available for the plant to uptake. Cutting off nutes ahead of harvest, allowing the plant to use up what's in the soil does the same thing. I was under the same impression as you when I started growing.
