Beautiful canopy. I'm envious for sure. Just got a scrog net but the traditionalist me is fighting the logic me. I can almost smell that pic

I hear ya! I learned from old skool growers so these types of techniques weren't really used much.

The way I was able to transition to it is to think about it as a giant low stress training device. We bend and tie down branches to get more light down into the bottom of the plant and to get larger buds across the branch rather than just at the top when we low stress train. Same idea just on a larger scale and it's the whole plant rather than just select branches that get trained. The net also assists in any stray branches. Easy enough to just tuck under the net!

If you decide to do one, tag me in and I'll help ya set it up right and give you some tips to make it easier.

Just watering the grass.......

I've been tapering down my solutions. At peak I was feeding at 1000ppm. I'm currently feeding at 800ppm. 1/2 strength cal/mag and the rest is straight base. No amendments or additional inputs.​

Trichs are starting to get milky. Pistils are fading and darkening. Flowers are starting to foxtail

When you see those buds start to fox tail is that the calyx opening to expose more or final pistils?? Rootsruler I was taught to look at the ones under the buds when this stage started.?
 
I can't see any foxtailing. It's often caused by light stress and typically effects the tallest buds. It's common in my sativas.

That is one huge grow.
 
I had the same concerns. I thought I over FIMmed the plants and set up too many bud sites(when's the last time you've heard that complaint!)but as I've been checking, especially around the more bunched up areas, for any clues for mold or other diseases or pests and, so far, its been pretty clean. I've kept humidity down on this grow due to how packed it is to keep those areas from molding. So far it seems to have worked well.
 
Not sure. I go by trichome ripeness to determine when to harvest. When I ran a couple of clones in the 2 x 2 tester they foxtailed so I'm pretty sure it's more genetic than anything else but, as Bluey mentioned, I have been pushing them pretty hard as far as light exposure although I've been ramping down the DLI so I'd guess on the side of genetics rather than stress. What were you taught as far as the calyx signalling ripeness?
 
Thanks Brother!!! Honestly, I know a lot of people say that ScrOG's are more work but they really aren't once you have them set up. Once I have everything going in the right direction it's more like herding sheep. Just got to keep them moving in the right direction and watch out for strays.
 
I was taught to watch the calyx(s) tucked under the bud. Rootsruler When these start to pop, swell or turn color, time is close. I have noticed that it follows the pistil fade. Something I have always done and seems to assure its ripe.

Canopy isn't really changing much so I'm not going to post a picture. I will post a picture of one of the flowers. I was thinking mid February for chop but it looks like I may need to go a couple more weeks. Some of the colas are starting to lean over a bit but not enough that I need to trellis them. Still tapering down nute solutions. Currently feeding at 600ppm but will be dropping to 500ppm after this next feed.​

It's been raining for the last few days so been having some problems trying to get humidity down below 50%. Even with the rain I've been able to hover in that area. It's high now because I just watered but lights on RH has been averaging around 52%. Forecast is calling for more rain so I don't see myself being able to drop it below 50% even with the dehu going. Trichomes, for the most part are all milky. Just waiting to see some amber heads show up although I'm tempted to cut them down next sunday. I flipped these on 11/18. That means I'm in week 14 going into 15 from flip. If I start the clock from when I first saw flower I would be in week 12.

Just starting to see some fade happening in the rear back corner although most of the leaves are starting to darken up so more than likely fade will really start to come on in the next week or so.​

Under canopy. I didn't leave much room between the soil line and the net line as I knew access would be an issue so I did a preliminary lollipop when they were young and let them go from there. Looks like not too much larf.

I just replaced my two fans (el cheapo) with one a AC Infinity S6 Gen2 like the one in your pic Rootsruler With the setting on 5 i can't hear it with the tent closed. Nice fans. Your system is top notch. It sure shows in your finished product. Wheres me pipe
