    Just wounded if people recommend I flip now or wait a bit longer In my option the scrog a about 65% full , it’s just the middle that ain’t full but the stretch will cover that any options ? And the two seeding will be moved before the flip don’t worry

    If you had a 6th plant there it would be perfect lol. I like to have it all tucked and growing a bit before I flip. I find the wider you have them the less they stretch.

    I tucked and stripped under the net yesterday, most likely flip after a week.

    I know only if I had 6 , and I just removed most of the big fan leave to allow light for the lower growth and I think I’m going to leave it a week then flip , is there such a thing of waiting to long ?

    Of course, you could fill your tent completely and they stretch to much lol.
    What lights that, hps?

    Yeah hps my metal halide broke could days ago and I’m close enough to flowering I haven’t bothered getting another one and I’ll be find to leave it another week though surely

    yeah you look fine I was just saying that yes you could easily leave them to long lol.
    And that would be one of the ways they stretch too much. When I used MH/hps I never swapped the bulbs until after the stretch.
    There’s a lot of red in the hps causing more of a stretch. The MH is more blue keeping them shorter.

    I don’t see how that’s possible as the leaves are what collect the energy to be able to grow. Plus chopping of so much would surely stress and stunt for a few days.

    why have you removed the solar panels? I hope it’s just that bit and not all. And to do it so close to flipping to flower you cray cray

    So leave the leaves on ? This is all crazy to me
     
  13. #13 Ian150rjones, Jul 5, 2020
    I thought if you removed the leaves it allows light down to the lower growth
     
  14. #14 wEEDhEAD1, Jul 5, 2020
    yes! Selective trimming is fine. Removing a leaf for a purpose. But removing leaves to let light hit the buds is just forum bro science nonsense. Don’t feel bad about it too many people get led down this path..


    if a node that you want to become a top is hidden in the shade ok. As I said selective trimming because there are many reason to remove leaves. But this is not one.
    You already have your scrog full. so through the stretch you should get a nice even canopy so you should be good.
    Remove everything that stays under the net sure but you want the leaves (solar panels) to collect the light (energy) so she can pack on that bud.

    Okay then no worries she’s going into flower tomorrow any idea how much yield I’ll get all together ? The
    Strains uk cheese hoping for atleast like 6-7 ounces

    Show a pic of what they look like now?
    If you’ve removed a lot then you should wait more than 2 days. Stresses into the stretch will give you stunted plants.

    what size space is that and what light have you got?

    Uk cheese Yh. Back in the day there was a period where all you could get was cheese. My favourite was blue. But now I hate all cheese lol I cant remember the last time I smoke it. It’s a stanky one in flower aperently.
