Ok I’m thinking I’m getting close to the flip.
My temps are 80
Humidity 55 60
Ph 6.5 run off
Ppm 700 going in 1100 run off.
The roots organic is still doing its job looks like.
Any and all comments welcome.
Should i add scrog net now?
Should i up nutrients?
When i flip what’s best way.

I’d let her veg a little more. But I’m a sucker for a killer cola and plants in Beast Mode.
I actually run a 12/12 schedule from start to finish. Not growing Autos atm.
At the size and shape, I’d kick off the Scrog if you don’t want to veg her a little more. Every thing else looks good. Plants are healthy and happy.
This is Beast Mode. Not to hijack. I do things differently…
She was over 60” tall and easily 40” or more wide before I bent her over.

@MrPeat I’m in no rush. At all. I can veg more. I am after the scrog this time. I’ve topped and have my plants canopy all about the same size. Looks like about 12 different tops on each plant.
Should i continue increasing nutrients for 3 weeks? Then flip?
My tent is 6 foot so not sure how much they grow in the flip stretch.
@Oddjelly The way I do Nutrients I split it over a course between 2 or 3 days Per week. So basically Day 1, Day 3 or 4 and then the final day for the whole week.
I do about 1/3rd strength for the whole growing process. Once I am 2 weeks from harvesting I stop all nutes and finish with filtered water.
Every 3 days I add a little sugar to the water. About 2 teaspoons.
Once my girls are big, I’ll jump from 1/2 gallon of water per day to 1 gallon. I adjust to how thirsty she is. I’ve been growing all kinds of flowers and veggies since I was a kid helping mom out.
I look at how the leaves are like. I let her tell me what needs to be done and knock on wood, I’ve had zero problems. Soil has never molded. No but rot…no insect infestation.
There are days I won’t water if the top of the soil looks damp. This only applies for my small girls. My big girls drink up my water schedule.
I don’t do pH testing either. I use as little manipulation as possible. Only way to learn is to keep growing.
Now please remember… I his is what works for me and it may not work for you.

@MrPeat ty kind sir. Ty for taking the time to help. This is my first indoor. I’ve grown outside for years. So far i 2 have had good luck. I did top mine this time i liked the scrog idea for my small tents. Plus that gave me the clones for my sea of green plan on tent #3.

@Oddjelly Ya welcome…I’ve been growing indoors since May 2018. I’m glad I can’t grow outdoors because I’d probably go ballistic and have 20 to 50 plants.
My big girl I linked was in a Veg State for 3 straight months before she decided to flower. She is insane. I’ll more than likely start scrogging my other plants from here on out. She takes pretty much the whole 4x4 tent to herself.
But she was like this before I joined. I bent her over and I am hoping I get big buds off her. I’ve done a lot of reading since joining. But I’m retired so I have way to much time on my hands.
Speaking of nutes…my big girl is calling for some love. Which means I may use a different feeding schedule due to her size and flowers she has.

Best thing is to introduce the plant to the SCROG and get it started threading through to start filling it in. When my screen is at around 90% full is when I flip. The plant should be pliable for 2 or 3 weeks after 12/12 so you can continue to tuck and weave as the plant stretches. Some growers introduce a second screen above the first just to support the colas. I do not.
A week or so before the flip I give em a dose of P and K (usually a small dose of LKB) to tell em it’s time to step up the game.

@Oddjelly That definitely will be a SOG on steroids. I don’t have that much free space or that is what I probably would do.
Well for science i pulled him to look at roots.
What do you think for 8 weeks? Look right? Is there anything i should do?

absolutely!! I’m honored and privileged to help! Do you have a grow journal started yet?
@oddjelly : I’m not sure if I missed it somewhere above but did you already mention that you absolutely removed that banana plant away from your girls? When did you find this?
@the2409labs i sure did
I found it 3 days ago and removed immediately
@the2409labs this is my journal
@Oddjelly did you clean EVERYTHING? your tent walls, floor, ceiling, all pieces of your fans, absolutely everything inside and near your grow space?
Pollen is such a douche. Pollen is a non-breeding growers nightmare. Pollen is literally my worst nightmare in a non-breeding setting. The crap gets everywhere with just the THOUGHT of a slight breeze. Pollen exists to f**k our yields. lol. They’ve found pollen from 250 freaking million years ago. Pollens can survive incredibly extreme environments and a straggling bit of pollen potentially could pollinate your plants for months and even years later. (years is kind of unlikely but absolutely possible.)
Pollen makes me so sad.
