Great and even canopy work...keep going with this girls man! Hope for great harvest with lots off yield!
ShadowGrows
The results were great man those plants look fantastic. I'll have to try this myself sometime instead of just the main shoot

@ShadowGrows, great question. I will top the main top node after the plant reaches a certain height. In my room, because I have a lot of space to fill, I wait til about the 5th set of branches or about 18 inches above the pot. It’s fine to top after 3rd or 4th node if you don’t have a lot of space. Over the next couple of weeks I will top any branch that gets too long or has this same 3 to 4 nodes worth of growth. DO NOT TOP IF THE BRANCH DOESNT HAVE 3 NODES WORTH OF GEOWTH. Then 10-14 days before flower I will top every single nod that hasn’t been recently topped. This give plenty of time for everything to heal before the push to flower.

@ShadowGrows, so I just topped every node available, probably 50 nodes or so between the 12 plants. Switching to flower in 10 days. Its gonna be stupid good

@FrontRowAG_BrianG, They look great bro! Growing strong and looking happy. So you top the side branches before flower as well? I've read up on that but I haven't tried topping more than once yet.

Thank you bro for all of the info you've provided it's helped alot. VPD and plant diseases / fungus are the two areas my research had lacked and I'm currently reading up on VPD and LVPD and using an online calculator. I suspected my night time humidity was my biggest problem but man, worse than i thought. Still waiting on the dehumidifier but in the meantime going to be thinning them a bit for sure. When it arrives I'll probably set it to run when lights are off and turn off when they come on until end of flower. Gonna shoot for around 68 degrees at night with around 40% RH at night with around 80-85 degrees during day and 55 to 60% RH like you've got going. There's only natural levels of CO2 in the basement so I don't want to push it too high. Note: Tried lowering AC, night temp went to 72 but the humidity shot to 81. It's probably been doing most the work definitely thinning a bit today and hoping that big dehumidifier comes soon :pray:

@ShadowGrows, great update. Your space looks great, just thin it out and watch your night time temps. Low temps+high humidity=powdery mildew. It’s like a math problem. If you take away one of those variables you’ll never have a mildew problem. So just keep your night temps above 72 degrees and you’re golden. I love your high temp high humidity. It’s all about that strong VPD!!! :muscle::muscle::muscle: That’s how I try to run 80-85 degrees and 60-65% humidity til last 10 days of flush and then reduce humidity. Wait til you see the results…the proof is in the pudding
ShadowGrows
So the real point of the Scrog net is simply to get as many nodes on a single branch to become equal to the end node on that branch. You’re well on your way! At some point during the stretch phase of flower you have to let those nodes grow vertical for a bit to get a net of “big colas”. You seem to be on your way my friend. Looks good for one of your 1st scrogs.
ShadowGrows
Thank you! It's been alot lugging all the water around but it's been worth it :sweat_smile::grin::evergreen_tree:

Thanks bro! Definitely came out a bit better than the last. I tried to focus on tucking the taller parts of the branch but I think next time I may need to flip to flower a tad sooner, or 2 less plants for the space maybe. Went from worried I wouldn't fill the net to...oh crap i'm out of net holes :joy: I was mainly worried about Blue Dream even gave her extra net space lol, Sativa dominant so I was hoping to keep her as close to the others as possible. :grin:
