Holy crap that looks beautiful!!
Tomorrow is 6 weeks since sowing!
I bent branches out one 3"x3" square in the center of each plant , this morning. I forgot to snag a pic before i left
Filling out nicely!!
With tomorrow being week 6, i will probably go to inbetween week 7-8 to flip, i want them to ultimately be about 1 - 1.5feet tall above the screen.
I just did some large leaf defoliation in the center of each plant, exposing more branch sites.

@StevOz you think its safe to put this on the edge of my canopy now? It looks great! It has been 4 days.
Franco’s lemon cheese cut
The lemon skunk cut looks not so good
I would leave it in the shade for a bit longer and wait for a bit more new growth as it will encourage more root growth.
I will be surprised if you make it to the weekend.
This is why i like the weed wacker line!
I can bend it and tie it and it still holds that woven strengthen

@merlin44 its almost full! Think i could make it a few more days? Or should i flip now?
Based upon the growth rate that I see over the last few days, I would flip tomorrow. They will continue to fill the screen during the transition and the first part of the stretch.
I typically tuck for about a week after flipping. I don’t have a hard and fast rule, I judge each plant based upon how it grows. Tucking could be from 7 to 12 days after flipping.
Edit: You don’t want to tuck too deep into the stretch. You want the stretch to get some vertical growth so that you form nice colas.
I will set my sights on flipping tomorrow evening!
I have more room to spread out and more room to grow upward, so if it gets a little tall off the screen thats fine, but im more or so worried about long heavy colas not having the support they need from a net also.
I think tomorrow is a solid plan!
I often times tie the colas to the netting for more affirmative support. Very occasionally, if I miss my timing, they get tall enough to need bamboo stakes.
Edit: I may end up using bamboo stakes on the Burmese if it gets unruly. It is a very tall growing Sativa.
Edit: Some people install multiple levels of screens to provide more support.
I have that francos which is a 60% sativa. The lemon cheese is a 50/50. Im expecting a little height difference, but im trying to wrangle it into submission!
The lemon cheese is branching out more then the lemon skunk also.
I noticed that. You might want to slide the smaller one over just a bit before it gets too involved with the netting.
Even the two Burmese that I have are not growing exactly alike.

Branching on the Lemon Skunk
I keep cutting the inner leaf off, you can see the cut in that lemon skunk pic.
@merlin44 this angle shows how filled out the room is. Still think tomorrow is ok? Or few days longer? Or now? i just want the biggest harvest possible for my little space
ignore my mess
I would flip late on Wednesday.
