So to me I would place your net and then veg for another 2-3 weeks till the net starts to fill up and then see from there . If the net gets full quickly you may want to think about switching to flower . If your net isn't getting full quickly then I advise you wait and veg a little longer till you see the net's base is starting to get full . You don't really wanna rush a scrog set up because then you're doing it for nothing essentially . So all in all I'd say you still got some time before you switch the lights , but at the end of the day its all about how you wanna run your show . I hope this information helps you to determine when you should flip the lights on a Scrog set up . - Happy Growing!

Hi @mixo420! Depending on the strain, you should flip to flowering stage once your canopy has spread up to 40-60% of your scrog net. For sativa dominant strains which tends to stretch a lot in preflowering stage, 40% would be better. For indica dominant strains which usually shows closer nodes and a short stretch, 60% will be fine. You will have to carefully tie the new growth everyday in order to have a flat canopy. Too many scrogs are poorly done and if not adjusted everyday in preflowering stage, then it becomes stem support, but not a real scrog. Hope this will help, happy growing! 👊

The best moment to switch is when the net is 50% filled as you expect for the stretch of the plant to fill the last 50% during that phase

Looking for pruning/defoliating tips I have several tented plants under 12 hour light and I am looking for pruning/defoliating tips. Pics attached. For one, should I take out some select fan leaves to let more light down?? Lots of branches, too, maybe prune some smaller ones? Thanks for your help! John D.

Defoliation Hey guys, it's been 2 days since I did the topping pruning and I'm not sure if I should do some defoliation because my plant is very robust and low, I have the impression that the larger leaves on top are getting in the way, but I'm a beginner, I'm not sure , can help?

Late defoliation?I didn't pay as much attention to defoliation during veg stage as I would have liked, instead I kind of picked leaves out here and there all through flowering. Should I have left it altogether after missing timing or as long as you don't cause too much stress it should be OK?

Defoliation?Day 21 of flower, do I need to do any further defoliation? Everything looks connected to a bud site so I'm apprehensive about removing anything else. Afraid of running into PM at some point as weather gets warmer and RH rises. At 45-55rh now. May get a small dehumidifier soon.

How much / often should I be defoliating?Currently on my 2nd grow. How often should I be defoliating? I did a big defoliation at the start of flower, but it seems like after a week they've grown it all back. I'm worried I will stress them out if I defoliate too much. Do I hold off a week or 2 before doing more?

Growth slowed last two days - almost up to speed again. What will come of a near "Schwazz" in early week 6 (auto), in the end?
