To Pune or install Support Netting

Ghosttown

At day 47 I've noticed a significant increase in bud formation. I'm worried about light pen and support. Im running 3 plants in a 4x4 area. Should I install a net like a late Sea of Green growing style to help spread buds out for light pen and support when heavy or thin her out?

Buds. Other

Hi first of all your plants look really beautiful 😍👍🙏🏻. There are several ways to support aie :-) You can do it as you say with the net, you can support it with bamboo sticks (see my grows). You can also tie yourself to the tent poles with a thread or extra plant jojo 👍 Keep it up

Hey gardener! Ooh la la, a net at this moment is not really the goal. You use the net before switching to flower to train your plants before they start flowering. To keep them upright, nothing beats bamboo stakes or those hard green plastic ones. Otherwise, you've got a forest in your dark room, and since the lower branches and some leaves at the bottom aren't getting light, you can cut them. And now that I understand defoliation a bit better, I think you can also cut some leaves that block light to the lower branches and also those that would hold too much moisture at the buds. Good luck to you, bella ciao!

Actually its Screen of green (Scrog) but anyways.. If I were in your situation I would defoliate the biggest leaves from the top to promote more light to lower bud sites and you have lots of leafs still so plucking some shouldn't be nothing but a good thing. From what I have understood is that the light from the LED's wont penetrate leafs so easily so basically you can have one solid layer of leafs that covers the whole are and nothing more is needed. I wouldnt go that hard defo tho :D I did this kind of defo with my grow thats going on rn and I feel like it has worked
