Finished tucking 10 days after flipping to 12/12.
Managed to rearrange the plants underneath the ScRog net to maximize canopy area.
3 autos are now pushed up under the ScRog net in the front corner filling in a gap.
2nd dehumidifier added to grow room (not tent) but I'm still running into a wide range of humidity levels (60-75%) as the outside environment is unusually wet and warm for the middle of winter.
Made 3 meter extension cords to increase the distance that I can get the drivers from the QB's.
Lowered QB's to 620mm off ScRog net and running at 50% power (manufacturer recommendations.)
Researching more about monster cropped clones as when I get to 21days into flower I will defoliate and prune below ScRog net.
Clones have already been taken as I've been tucking and removing (& breaking accidentally) leaves and stems.
I'm not sure what I will do after this group is finished.
I want to get the next group going as fast as possible after harvest and with minimal veg time inside tent.
I can keep the clones out of the tent for awhile so they will hopefully be ready to flip straight away-ish.
I'm either thinking of 16 x 5-10 ltr square fabric pots, coco/perlite mix or coco/soil mix, on a diy autopot valve tray holding 4 plants each, or if the monster crop clones take well I could do 6-8 (?) of them in their own individual autopots.
Sog or monster crop but open to other ideas.
Should these type of large Sun leaves be either removed or "supercropped" down to allow more light onto the laterals growing along the bottom branches ?
Pictures are before and after holding the leaf to the side.
Plants are currently being LST and then will be ScRoged.

It’s really a personal preference and either way is fine. I personally remove the large fan leaves off the main stem and remove the large suckers off secondary branches at very bottom to get really nice airflow. I feel that the more room the buds have to breathe and the more direct light you can give them the fatter the product. Happy Growing and good luck 👍
Applied too heavier weight last night to straighten one of the top branchs out (LST) and this morning I have found the stem split in half at the top.
I have tied them back together, is this all I can really do or should I take for clones ?

No panic bro 😊 It happens to me all the times when I bend my plants to fit them under the ScrOG. It will keep growing. You can fix it with duct tape if you want.
I've been pulling branches down and out instead of weaving in and out through my ScRog net.
Will this make much difference on when I should flip to 12/12 ?
I think I'm close but not sure.
Has anyone tried taking monster cropped clones using air layering ?,any tips or advice ?
My girls are 14 days in flower(ScRog) so I am going to try a few lower branches today for fun and defoliate and prune in a week or so.
Thanks
Would someone mind looking at my pictures and tell me if they are looking right ?, as in the bud site numbers, spread, 5 weeks into flower, etc..
Thanks
Your plants look great. Feel free to send me a sample after harvest.
I would reduce the nitrogen. The leaves look very green for flower. It's OK during veg but you want less during flower. Don't cut it completely out but maybe try 1/2 nitrogen and see how they respond. If you get bottom leaves yellowing you might need more N.
You have a lot of nice looking buds on top. There will be others that emerge down lower. I would prune those lower ones off. They will be shaded and not develop well and will take resources that should go to the prime ones on top.
The bud sites are fine and the flowers look like week three of flower. but I think you pushed to many for an auto flower especially with a sog. Be careful with there stretch I would cut the lowers and sides ASAP or your colas are gonna be the size of fingers instead of fists or pop cans. Sometimes less is more especially with autos. Good luck
@Ze1ro,
It is thanks, yes I did make the ScRog net myself.
I get a lot of enjoyment out of diy ing whatever I can, like a fan silencer or a aerocloner etc., and I find it gives me a insight into what and why the plants are behaving rather than following a recipe (?) for growing from a website.
Que maravilha ✌️
Boa sorte no cultivo e aproveita o desenvolvimento 👍
E no final que tenhas uma grande colheita 🌱🌱

you dont want your coco to get dry. If you check your runoff EC it should be within 400EC of the feed. Generally, you should have 20% run off. This helps to prevent salt buildup. they look good!
