    Out of control scrog

    Ok well maybe not out of control quite yet but im trying to avoid it 😅 long story short I made the mistake of switching soils when potting up into their final pots and failed to test the runoff so I ran into major ph issues. I left them in veg for about 6 weeks more than I normally would have while I got the ph under control and they all started greening back up all the while bending, twisting, and clipping the stems to the screen on the ones that recovered fastest... now im a week into flower and three of them look like this

    So should I thin these out more or just let them grow, aside from perhaps a little plucking here and there

    Overall, I'd say let her rip.
    You'll know soon enough if the interior gets too crowded.

      You probably know this, but the mistake I made on my first grow was not plucking bud sites near the bottom of the SCROG that were not getting enough light. This limited the size of my top buds.

        They look good to go! I definitely know what you mean about the buds not getting light. If you want, take a look at my link in my signature. You’ll see how I prefer to defoliate with my scrog grows and how it solves the light problem for bottom buds 🙂

          Thanks, your journal really showed me that I should have defoliated much more. Most websites cautioned beginners to be careful with defoliation. In hindsiight, I should have done much more.

          The amount I do is a lot. Remove a little at first. If your plant seems to respond well then you know you’re ready to remove more if it’s needed.

          I'll check it out thanks! I pluck as I go trying to remove anything thats blocking light and has leaflets at least starting to grow... but i always worry about going overboard with it as I only have 9 successful harvested plants under my belt so I'm still lacking the experienced touch

        Looks healthy and cleaned up nice below the screen. It wouldn’t hurt if you wanted to remove the big fan leaves especially if you didn’t defoliate prior to flipping. Nice job with the recovery btw short plants with a thick stem seem to provide the best buds in my opinion. You’ll be happy
