I made the legs on it 18 inch tall, just slightly above the bottle layer of my canopy. I spread the branches out slightly, but im not sure if im doing this stuff correctly. I am mainly just observing things you guys have done on this Forum, and thought to myself, “well shit i should try that!” Does everything look ok with these? Do i need to do some trimming underneath the SCROG? These plants are a little over 2 months old, and i have stunted their growth slightly from starting them in the wrong soil and topping twice. When should i flip to 12/12? ---

Looks good @Strungthru, keep tucking as the tops grow through the net. When the net is about 75% full flip to 12/12. Keep tucking for another week or so (I usually tuck for 2 weeks) after flipping. Edit: I like to have each plant in its own SCROG frame so that I can move the plants around when needed. ---

Thank you @merlin44 ! I just wipped this together really quick in less then an hour… I will try that next go round. My main question is, how long can i safely veg these out for, considering they are a little over 2 months old? ---

> [@Strungthru](#): > > how long can i safely veg these out for, considering they are a little over 2 months old? Veg until they fill 75% of the SCROG. The remaining 25% will fill in during the initial stretch when you flip to 12/12. You can veg them for as long as you want to. Some folks keep a “mother plant” in veg for years as they take cuttings for clones. ---

Most folks remove everything below the netting. I remove all new growth or shoots (absolutely no bud sites below the net) that will not reach the netting but I leave all of the leaves and let them fall off when they turn yellow on their own. ---

Just to be sure that you know…Almost everyone besides me would strip the plants clean below the netting. ---

That is an excellent question. There is no hurry, so I just watch them for a few days. If they are going to grow to net level and beyond, I keep them. Otherwise, I remove them. It is judgement call that you will learn as you go through this grow. If there are plenty of viable tops I might cut some smaller branches like you describe later when the stretch is complete. ---
