Day 6:
Into week two of stretch (technically day 6) and they are stretching like crazy, stems are fattening, and fan leaves are growing huge.
Considering the shape and canopy I’m starting to think using a scrog will help but the benefits may not outweigh the risks. Risks being watering issues where I can’t lift the pots, annoying that I can’t move the pots. Also they may stretch so much that they are just too tall for a proper scrog, in which case I could use a trellis for some spacing and support.
Anyways, put the scrog net in!
Day 9 of flower:
Just Working the scrog. Ended up snapping a beautiful top by mistake. Have the feeling this scrog was started too late and maybe will reduce my yield. But I could be wrong and they may just be getting over the stress and will continue to stretch and fill it in nicely. Time will tell
Day 12F plants are looking a bit stressed out. I did a lot of bending and tucking and put them through a lot. A lot of big fan leaves were tucked under the screen. Like a tonne and they are all layered on top of each other under the screen. Not sure what would cause less stress... to cut them or layer them.. I’m assuming the latter
@ChefDan420, right on brotherman! As a noob I put the screen in a little early, about 1.5 weeks into flower - expecting more stretch. Next time I would go a little earlier. I’d like to have 6 - 8 “ above the screen rather than 2” 🤗
@ChefDan420, thanks. I made it out of PVC and Quest plastic yard fencing from Canadian tire. If I was to use up the rest of the fencing and make a bunch, total cost per unit would be about 10 bucks. :)
@Gardenofweeden, Roger that. These are 7 gallon! Ive moved to 2 or 3 gallon and getting much better results with lots of lessons learned. This was my very first grow ever
