First Time Grower - overcoming mistakes

Not now that it's in flower no, but you don't need it, what your cutting off would only produce a few fluffy buds that have no potency and be robbing the energy from the buds closer to light..
 
I thought I had a better photo of what I'm talking about but this is one I done in DWC if you zoom in the the base of the plant you can see where I've topped it and stripped it, I also do I bit of LST to make them bushy...

Yea that and I am lucky to have a se7000 spider farmer led, which is around 700watts so that helps stopping them from stretching...
Pretty sure that strain was Dr trichomes gelato..
 
So your pretty much saying to cut all the big leaves and cut them down to the stem below the yellow line in the picture you did for me??
That makes sense...!
 
hey wayzee, excuse me for jumping in but i have a q. about your net. i've seen the pics. of ppl. doing scrog and they kinda weave the branches in and out to make it grow flat. is your net doing the same thing or is that just for support?
 
My whole room I made as cheap as I could out of old timber pallets, old iron roof sheets, old mattress Toppers and polystyrene foam for insulation and a few rolls of self adhesive gloss white wall paper off of Temu..
 
TomDaDon90 What you're doing by trimming some of the lower branches is concentrating more energy towards the top of the plant that get the maximum amount of light energy. Similar to topping a plant where you are redirecting the energy that plant has to where you want it to be directed. The plant naturally exhibits Apical Dominance which is what makes it grow like a Christmas tree. When you top it you are redistributing that energy to other lateral branches.

When I set my ScrOG net I don't weave the branches. I use the net to keep the branches spread out so that the entire canopy gets the same amount of light energy. Basically the net is there to hold the branch in place. Weaving it will lock that branch in and will not allow you to be able to readjust it if needed so I use the net to hold the branches down but they aren't tied to anything. The splayed branches receiving equal light will produce similarly sized flower from the base to the tip versus the traditional grow where the top bud is the largest and the lateral branches have smaller buds as you go down the plant.

This was how my last grow turned out using this method. As you can see the branches are held back from growing vertically and the flower sites are allowed to go vertical.
