Why dont my plants grow towards the middle/light and instead concentrate near the walls?
taprootArmystarted grow question 2y ago
Looks like my plants are growing towards the wall and not towards the middle where the light should be the best.
Why do the plants behave like that and what should I do?
Raise the net, rotate some of the plants, then redo the net?
Remove the net completely?
leave it as it is?

Actually plants tend to be taller when there is lack of light... If in the middle you have the brightest light that's normal that branches remain shorter.
Plant in the right corner stretched the most in the grow tent corner area.
Wild guess - she receives less light because of the fan.
Just measure PPFD in different parts of your grow tent and you'll see.
You have to rotate plants.
Try alternate position of the fan.

Well, if you didn't direct any growth there, how could it fill in? Need to train things out in that direction Can use the net to help spread the branches and hold them to grow vertically from that location.

Well it looks like you have three plants growing here so naturally there will be a space to fill in.
The reason you want to instal as scrog net is to train your plant to fill the entire canopy and holes. This may take some time for them to grow enough to fill all the gaps. Just keep tucking as they grow through their stretch phase.
Also, now is the time to cut anything below the canopy that is not getting adequate light. This will help with airflows and send more energy to the top canopy.
Hope this helps.

They grow where you put them. If you put some buds inside the holes (e.g. the ones on the sides) you will hqavce no more holes :)

Can anyone help identify this tox/deficiency?Week 6 I noticed that all the new growth has burnt tips I assumed this was a bit of a nitrogen toxicity problem since the leaves were all a nice dark green, no pale leaves were popping up. Also held back on feeds for a few weeks. Other forums said it’s normal but want to be sure.3y ago

Is this scrog too tight?This is my first scrog tent. I wonder what people who have experience with scrogging think. Am I too tight? Should I have defoliated/defoliate now? I probably will let her rip either way, just wondering opinions, observations, criticisms. Teach me something. Happy 4/20 tomorrow.Week 2
