They are a little higher then I’d like them to be but the plants weren’t supposed to be in the scrog they were moms originally there about 20 or so inches from pot

@fano_man I’ve done it 2 ways. Before, I would let them grow through the net approximately 8". Then supercrop and tie to top of net ( never did any tucking). As they grew, I would continue tying them down. When screen was approximately 60% full, I would flip my lights. I continued tying them down until I saw flowers. Although that produced the best I had ever grown, it still wasn’t the quality I was looking for. The problem was, my nets were TOO full. I had branches on top of branches, so the bottom ones didn’t get good light. This last time I ran some MC clones. As they were growing, I would do a little LST and make them wider. Let them grow through net and supercrop as usual. Difference was, I quit tying them down a couple of days after light flip. Wasn’t quite as heavy, but the density was waaaay better.

You gotta do what you gotta do. Mine were in trash cans. I went with 13" above the container so that I could get my old ass under the net for lollipoping. Now I’m in totes and I have to sit them on something to get everything high enough. Light penetration and air circulation are your biggest concerns.

Ok well I guess I’m in good shape since I got 3 plants in 24 sq feet can make my density of the canopy be a little less thick but still fill the net I have been tucking everything I’m about 85 to 90% full when inflipped

@Bogleg this my grow log the perpetual is inter way the racks are still being built but in the mean time I got this going and preparing for the perpetual I didn’t wanna fill the first pvc rack till the tables were 4 weeks in flower but I dont want that much of a lil in between my lights are all movable so I’ll squeeze 6 in there in the same space should be easily there 2 10x10ish rooms …bout to duct everything up and integrat e a drying tent into the duct work …suck from cooler veg room blow throw drying tent for air movement and exhaust into the flower room keeping smell going into flower room which is where drying rent will be up on a shelf and suck from flower room with carbon filter out into main part of the shed… should work good I put alot of thought into this operation.

We have lift off
got the materials to build 4 more racks transplanted the big girls and started choosing moms got a few select clones are into flower end of transition week and beginning of the start of the perpetual…got a mix of strains in the first rack to see how there gonna react but man the root systems on those lil clones were phenomenal I’m getting excited

got the multiple different veg times transplanted and started on flowering to show my theory of single kola fast turn around is the way to go for quality and quantity even tho the plants arent huge I have a full 2 ft x 4 ft canopy full canopy pretty sidemen evenly spaced and small enough to not shade eachother

Can you see my vision now coming together every week 1 of those is getting filled after transplanting with fresh mix of 25% perlite 25% ocean forest and 50% strawberry feild with a nice charge of
its mycrozae and bacilius humic acid and rare earth to give the plants a transplant boost no shock… phd water. First water with that product for the initial transplant watering …to get that microbe heard established to the roots and next watering will be 2ml gal moon shine it’s not a nutrient it’s just everything that that soil dosent have tou have heard me go on and on about this product and I’m so sold on it the giberelin ,tryptophan, alfalfa, kelp and countless other things that will aid in explosive growth in my short allowance of growing time so im about to order about 24 q series strips and build one long 800 watt light and a 4x4 400 watt veg light the long one is to stay over my mother space the other corner of the room occupy the clone cart with my t5ho custom duhicky we have had excellent success with cloning in rockwool so that’s what I’m sticking with
Oh and today is the end of first week from flip we are officially on day 8 tomarrow on the table and day 1 on the recons I started

Well maybe we can do a bulk order of strips… I’m giving up in PLC, photo boost are never gonna restock bro…lol… did you mean Samsung F series?? I’m serious Bro…
I might go f series but the q series are the most efficient out there and I’m building a veg only light so I’m looking for 4000k and up I’m probally gonna build a really strong light and turn it down to get hella efficiency I see the benefits of running your lights lower if possible add more strips but turn down the current the light runs cooler are you get same luminous flux to the leaves I dont no y it didn’t click before to me but it makes sence now …build a 800 watt light and run it at 500 build. Also build a 400 to run at 275 over a 4x4 the 800 wat is gonna be 2x8 foot light …might as will just buy an 8bfoot aluminum ladder and slap the strips on that some bitch …what heat sink hahah:rofl:
Q series are something like 5150k and 4950k weird temps I thought I saw but that’s ideal for veg that’s so blue its gonna be great I’m gonna look up data sheets now
Built another rack today
veg room looks great cant wait ti get this next rack filled up next week with 24 final contestant clones no notr pmtrwnstplsting into a small pot first then te transplanting in 4bdsys and break all the roots I just worked so hard to slestablish so strait into the pvc no more extra steps flower room is looking great I’m 8 days from flip now Nd 1 day from flip on 2 recons

@dbrn32 do you think u should raise the lights to get more strech or turn em down because they are staying square after a week of flower starting to g ed t dandelioning going on so I know it’s not a light time thing there not stretching up much above the canopy … and when scrogging do you tuck during the strech or do you let em poke up and out the screen during strech
@Grandaddy013 with your tables did you tie down anymore times after you flipped or after you flip you let her ride? Did u defole under the net before you flipped and did you leave a out 50% 50% above and below the net and everything else is stripped is that right?

I use to tie down until I saw pistils. Last time, I tied down about a week or so after light flip. Net got full. When I flipped lights, EVERYTHING under the net got GONE. By the end of the stretch, most fan leaves on top are gone
