Wrapping up the first transition week to flower. I have had to do a lot of tucking and branch moving to even out the canopy. My fingers REEK of goodness from working with her. Iβve defoliated a bit here and there as well, to allow more light to the bud sites. Going strong now!
@gdogfunk, yes, in fact, I have seen such a period in others. this is unusual for my climate, so I was very surprised. but it's good. I like non-standard ways. usually people plant autoflowers in boxesπ
@ArthurStotch, I usually veg for 10 weeks and flower for 9-10 weeks. It all depends how they grow. Check out my other scrog diaries and you'll see what I mean :)
@cnkice, Sorry for the delay, I missed your comment. I use two kinds. In the early stages like now, I use this kind:

I cut several longer strips and make a small hook at the top and carefully push the long end into the dirt until the branch is bent over where I want it. Then, as the plant grows larger, I will attach paper clips to the sides of the fabric pots where I want to tie down the branches again and I use this kind of plant wire that can easily be cut down to size:
