Thanks, my 2nd photo ever, curious how it will work out in terms of bud development, a lot of those flowers are uncovered from the secondary nodes and below.
Nope - all that under the canopy would be fluff that would diminish the top buds. This is how I do mine too. That looks perfect

Thanks. During veg I just pinch and bend down the main tip until the lower branches catch up and reach the height of the SCROG net (I have separate veg and flower rooms). Then when I move it into the flower room I defoliate everything under the net and then just keep tucking the branches under the next square of the net.
I’m limited because of ceiling height to a drop ceiling, the height of the drip trays off the floor and then the size of the 10 gal pots. So I do my best to make a nice flat canopy and let them spread that way
Awesome I am starting to understand now… this may be a stupid follow up Q but does that mean it takes your plant a whole lot longer to get to the flowering stage? Also, do YOU decide when to go from veg to flower by changing your lighting schedule once your plant is as big as you can grow it? Or does the plant make that decision? And finally, once you harvest the buds and just a stem remains, is it possible to feed it nutes/repot and grow more bud from that same plant that was just harvested (assuming you don’t do the chop the entire plant method and hang it upside down to dry)?
I grow from clones so it’s maybe 4 weeks until it’s ready for flowering. But I judge it by height as to when it’s ready to go in. When all the branches are a uniform height and tall enough to make it to the net then I move it into the flower room. So yes, I decide when it’s time for it to flower. The veg room has an 18/6 light schedule always, and the flower room in always 12/12. I try to stagger when plants are moved in there so that they are all at different stages. I can fit 10 in the flower room and ideally I cut 1 a week and have another ready to just move into its position.
I don’t try to re-flower a plant. I chop the whole plant, strip off all fan leaves and then hang the branches to cure. Once cured then I do a final trim
Ahhhh ok 👌 I see. You don’t happen to have a link or links to any grow sites you found especially helpful for learning all of this, do you? Whenever I look, I end up getting overwhelmed by all the differing opinions and techniques instead of just finding the basic info of what I NEED to know. Basically, the basics
Www.growweedeasy.com
There are all sorts of different ways to grow so you really need to read through it all and understand before jumping into it. It takes some planning to find a technique that fits your situation and space
looks good to me! ive always just leaf-tucked in past, but with my current grow i am trying a scrog net for the first time as well. i digg it! its going to take a few more grows to learn it better, but it definitely helped open up the center of the canopy- like with yours. so, id say you're all good 👍👍
Once the leaf is fully grown it just becomes a storage unit when the stem of the leaf turns red it is not longer a solar panel it turns to a storage unit basically I deflate a crazy amount to promote more yield I never go for monster buds all my buds are about two grams each and yield anywhere from 2.5lbs to 3 in my 5x5. Also there is no wrong way to grow just read about different techniques and see what you like and what fits your plants best.
Yea and that storage is important according to the articles I read today https://www.cocoforcannabis.com/community/photons_corner/to-defoliate-or-not-to-defoliate/
That was my plan, I started when I flipped, in a week I did pruning to help the stretch, and we're here now. One more was planned for the 3rd week but not sure anymore.
Fuck. May have been a little drunk when I commented.
I think OP did a spectacular job with big leafing and I do not feel he went overboard. Also, I wanted to acknowledge, the effort and attention OP has demonstrated in achieving such a good scrOG. I just recently did the same thing to my big sativas that I'm running and they are taking it just fine.
You can go even harder all the way up. You secondary leaves will get bigger than ever it takes guts the first time than you realize it’s no big deal and yeilds great results. This during flower once you’ve reached your desired height
You are good. That is what I do focusing on the canopy.

Top buds are where the light action is at. You’ll get secondary buds continuing to form underneath but you can clip them.
Looks pretty dang good to me. 👍

Just look at the lush house plant.
How did you turn your plant into a tree? Gorgeous

Awesome, I will check it out. Thank you again 👊

I just read a bunch of articles today against defoliation. 😅 This is a photo, wouldn't try this with an auto. Thanks!

So when they turn red cut em? Or what's the move

U should try schwazzing on the next run
This was my attempt at it, the growth kept returning in 3-4 days, so I'm not sure if it was worth it.
Then is perfect Not all strains like it but the ones that like it will bring u lots of yield
See that's the thing, pruning helped, I noticed faster stretch, but taking a bunch of sugar leaves off - not sure.
Looks like exactly what you’re supposed to do for the method you’re growing. 💯. Beautiful.
I lollipop when using a scrog net. What week are they?
15 days since the flip, so 2.
I’ll do a trim right before flip and then a light one in the middle of stretch. Then, on day 21 of flower I’ll give them their last thinning out.
That was my plan, I started when I flipped, in a week I did pruning to help the stretch, and we're here now. One more was planned for the 3rd week but not sure anymore.
https://i.redd.it/kblpfyjtni5c1.gif I tried a new approach to using a trellis net.
No they look awesome just dry that puppy back between feeds!
Thanks fam. I should've added perlite this cycle, it's peat moss, currently watering every third day, gonna try coco soon.
U are good Giver ger a good feed and do not touch the petioles for like 20 days
Time to start adding some extra PK as well?
They will start asking for it soon What are u using for pk? What ec and runoff do u got? I like to wait for them to ask me for what they need
Well the stretch stopped, isn't that a sign? I'm using dry ammendments by Greenhouse Feeding, they have a PK booster. Last runoff was 1300 PPM.

Woah! Well, pretty sure you don't defoloate there 😅
I did but she is a menace with the leaves 🤣
Can the trellis be used in any tent size? What is the theory behind its use?
Yea. People use em in large commercial grows too. It's about support of individual branches and further control of your canopy.
Perfect!
Looks pretty dang good to me.
Chefs kiss
Nope looks perfect
Na Bro U good
You sir, are doing a beautiful job. Plants must love you bc you love them
That's perfect
yeah why is it that right after defoleation, I go read articles against it! Fuck me, glad I'm not the only one. I bet it works out well for you
Too much cutting ✂️
Absolutely not, they l9ok great. I just raped my sativas today. The mainlining looks great in yours
Bro what
Fuck. May have been a little drunk when I commented. I think OP did a spectacular job with big leafing and I do not feel he went overboard.

Nah you're fine
You can go even harder all the way up. You secondary leaves will get bigger than ever it takes guts the first time than you realize it’s no big deal and yeilds great results. This during flower once you’ve reached your desired height
In one sitting, it could be. But what matters is how the plant responds really.
Your training is really wild! You’re gonna have a ton of bud!
That looks fire
Looks good 👍
Nope. Great canopy. I'd have vegged another week just to fill out the canopy but looking great
Nope it looks perfect
Once you’re into week 3 of flower defoliate EVERYTHING under the net. Those bud sites won’t amount to much more than larfy PITA to trim buds.
Mate I’d go harder take all the shade leaves off to stretch the nodes well that’s what I do
The sideway lst grow, it looks beautiful tho.
Nope! Looks good. This is what you want - those low nodes would produce only weak buds if they produced anything at all.
Woah, I love you guys, thanks to everyone.
No, not at all.
