Day 7 Flowering
This is now Day 7 of flowering. I have continued to pull new shoots and fan leaves underneath the screen. It's hard not to go pick at it every 10 minutes, but typically I will tuck everything one day, and let it grow for a day or two when I will go through and tuck everything again. This seems to work well, as new shoots have time to grow up into the canopy.
I haven't used the twist ties much. In fact, I've been cutting most of them off, as it makes arranging the branches easier. The only times I use them now are when I want to lift a branch so its lower and middle shoots are closer to the light. I've also made the SCROG into a stadium type. I tied string to the chicken wire near the middle of the SCROG in a couple places, and pulled down the center of the screen and tied the string to the dish rack underneath the buckets. Besides a couple twist ties, the screen is pretty much just sitting on top of the plants, being pulled down in the center by the string. I have been watering every three days. Two times I gave it the Canna Flores at half strength and then full strength, with the last feeding just water. I think I will give it a half dose of the top activator next feeding, followed by the Canna Flores the following, and plain water after, and just continue that until I have to do the final flush.

Day 13 Flowering
I just took them out today to turn them and do a little adjusting with the screen and the tops. I also rotated 180 degrees. Starting to show flowers already. Hopefully the worst of the stretching is over by now, because I'm starting to run out of room for all the tops in some areas.
I've started feeding it both the Canna Terra Flores and the Plagron Green Sensation Top Activator, with water on the third feeding. No sign of any tip burn, so I think I will start to gradually and SLOWLY increase the nutes, stopping at the first sign of tip burn. In one thread about Scrog, it said after 2 weeks of flowering, its advised to trim all of the leaves and growth underneath the screen. This supposedly helps in air circulation, and no energy is wasted in the little popcorn buds. However, Scrog is already very unnatural for the plant, so I don't think I will be doing any trimming at this time. I'm gonna run out of bud here pretty soon, so I'll probably end up starting from the bottom again!

Wow thats alot of plant at week 2!! They look good finn, as far as the stretch, the 40/60 phenomenon is in effect. They spend 40% of flowering time stretching, and 60% in late flower. Most 8 week strains stretch for 22-25 days. Imagine if you didn't have the scrog! If you don't trim the undergrowth it will waste hormones and energy that would otherwise have gone to the canopy. Just go down and clean off the stems, pinch off all lower bud sites, and trim all leaves that don't get light. Don't remove too much in 1 shot. Do 1/2 of what you want to remove per plant, then in 2 or 3 days do the rest. I do it all at once and never have a problem. With the amount of foliage you got there I doubt you'll be able to remove enough to stunt them. Just do it now before it gets too far into budding. it's the perfect time! There is alot of yellowing growth in there that you may want to get rid of. WHile scrog is unnatural, once you do it you change the growth pattern and there is just way too much floiage that will get no light and then thats where problems will start, you got 6 more weeks of that dying foliage just getting buried then rotting! I will say you made the absolute most out of that limited space tho! Next time start budding much earlier and you'll be ok! No matter what those will put out some nice yield with all that light on such an even canopy!

I'm pretty sure this will stop stretching upwards after this week, at least going by my pictures from the last grow. I have also been picking off leaves that were already about to fall off (there are some yellow leaves in the pics, but they are still attached firmly to the plant). I'm still debating whether to start chopping all of the growth under the screen. Yeah, it makes sense to me, but this is also a heavy hermie strain, and I don't want to stress it anymore than I already have. Well, the more I think about it, I will probably start picking off the bottom stuff little by little. The problem really isn't with the growth underneath the screen, but rather around the screen, where I tuck all of the fan leaves...

Day 14 Flowering: Nip/Tuck
I stopped thinking about trimming and just did it. I also went ahead and tucked everything underneath the screen again, and should have exposed some more bud sites. Looking back at it now, I'm thinking maybe I went a little overboard, but oh well. I got a lot of trimmings, and I think I'm gonna turn them into Cannabutter.

Day 28
Thanks Frosty!
Four weeks into flowering now. I have been seeing a lot of yellowing leaves, especially on one of the plants. I'm thinking its just a N deficiency, but it seems a little early into flowering for that. Anyway, the new growth is green and healthy, the nugs are starting to take shape, and its getting quite stinky in my closet. I ran out of weed yesterday  Hopefully I can keep myself from picking off 'tasters' until they are finished.

That for me is going to hurt having to wait it out till nature gives me the treats I have patiently been waiting for..I commend you on your discipline.

Hey Frosty... thanks for the rep attempt,
but I think you need 50 posts before it counts for me LOL.Tell me about tough times... I went over 6 months without smoking and started on my first grow. I was picking and smoking leaves!!! And yes, they got me pretty high, until I started picking off tiny buds from the bottom, which got me really high! Yeah better to wait, but even after I picked at my plant almost everyday for the last month of flowering, I still had enough smoke to last me for 3 months getting high everyday (most of the time ALL DAY)  One of the many mistakes from my first grow, that I hope not to repeat this time... we'll see, only 5 more weeks.

So I can't really figure out this yellowing... it's really just on one of the plants mostly. I went ahead and flushed both of the girls with 30L of plain tap water, run-off ph was 6.6-6.8... I even took readings with the cloudy amber run-off AND after filtering the run-off so it was clear, and same thing! I even tasted the run-off, but nothing special... tasted like dirt, not metallic or salty, so I guess it's ok.
The nugs are still growing... the nugs on one plant look a little healthier, but no huge difference. Just have to wait and see how things go this week...

Hey lookin' pretty tight, literally! Can't wait to see what you come up with on this round! I don't know enough to give you any advice on the yellowing. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it though. Trust your instincts, you are looking good. I'm gonna stay tuned!

I just read through your whole log and as I might say they are coming out BEAUTIFUL! Keep up the good work! Whatever your doing seems to work out for you just fine, don't change a thing!

Hey, thanks everyone for the rep and encouragement!
Dive, I have been thinking the same, what's confusing me is that I have done everything exactly the same for both plants, but I guess they have different needs. I'm gonna see what happens if I switch my watering cycle to just twice a week. Now, the yellowing parts are turning purple... I'm thinking also that it could be cool temps, as sometimes I open the window next to the closet and the temps get pretty cool. But even the one that is yellowing has healthy "tops", or at least what the plant thinks is the top. I noticed similar things last grow also, but it came a little later. Yeah, best to stop worrying about it, but kinda hard when I don't have anything to relax with  .... Oh well, soon...

My scrog was a scraggly mother that outlived her use so I will have nowhere CLOSE to that kind of screen! Glad you trimmed you will not regret it!
