First week of veg went well. It's our first time germinating and vegging under a light like this, a high wattage bar. So we set it about 3 feet up, it's about 6 inches higher than their website recommended but at 50% dimming the PPFD was hitting 400 or just over in the middle and high 300s on the sides and did not want to stress the babies. They seem to be doing good, and we are keeping an eye on the leaves for signs of tacoing (too much light). They didn't stretch really I'd say they were about 2 inches tall at the most I didn't think to measure the sprouts this time. They got their first feeding as well, Promix BX recommends adding food after a week and I let them germinate about that long before I consider the first week of veg starting. I followed Advanced Nutrients calculator for the PH Perfect Micro Grow Bloom, Vegetative cycle, Advanced level instructions and started the base nutes at 1 ml per liter. All additives are at the standard 2ml per liter. With the first week watering was roughly light, and I focused the waterings in a ring around the seedlings to encourage the roots to reach out... but allowing a little dribble in the middle for their tap roots. They were fed only once this week, and we are considering whether to split the feeds into twice a week like last grow, or stick to once a week for this grow. Decision will be in next weeks entry. Towards the end of the week they got their first full watering instead of a ring of water. I'll be adding name tags to the soil this week so the next entry will be easier to tell who is who.

So the real point of the Scrog net is simply to get as many nodes on a single branch to become equal to the end node on that branch. You’re well on your way! At some point during the stretch phase of flower you have to let those nodes grow vertical for a bit to get a net of “big colas”. You seem to be on your way my friend. Looks good for one of your 1st scrogs.

Thank you bro for all of the info you've provided it's helped alot. VPD and plant diseases / fungus are the two areas my research had lacked and I'm currently reading up on VPD and LVPD and using an online calculator. I suspected my night time humidity was my biggest problem but man, worse than i thought. Still waiting on the dehumidifier but in the meantime going to be thinning them a bit for sure. When it arrives I'll probably set it to run when lights are off and turn off when they come on until end of flower. Gonna shoot for around 68 degrees at night with around 40% RH at night with around 80-85 degrees during day and 55 to 60% RH like you've got going. There's only natural levels of CO2 in the basement so I don't want to push it too high. Note: Tried lowering AC, night temp went to 72 but the humidity shot to 81. It's probably been doing most the work definitely thinning a bit today and hoping that big dehumidifier comes soon 🙏

@ShadowGrows, great update. Your space looks great, just thin it out and watch your night time temps. Low temps+high humidity=powdery mildew. It’s like a math problem. If you take away one of those variables you’ll never have a mildew problem. So just keep your night temps above 72 degrees and you’re golden. I love your high temp high humidity. It’s all about that strong VPD!!! 💪💪💪 That’s how I try to run 80-85 degrees and 60-65% humidity til last 10 days of flush and then reduce humidity. Wait til you see the results…the proof is in the pudding

Thanks bro! Definitely came out a bit better than the last. I tried to focus on tucking the taller parts of the branch but I think next time I may need to flip to flower a tad sooner, or 2 less plants for the space maybe. Went from worried I wouldn't fill the net to...oh crap i'm out of net holes 😂 I was mainly worried about Blue Dream even gave her extra net space lol, Sativa dominant so I was hoping to keep her as close to the others as possible. 😁

My dude things are really looking good! Do you have a favorite? P.S. lowering temps at night will automatically trigger higher humidity no matter what you do. If you got your dehumidifier, this is when it will work overtime lol
