Just another newb, newbing it’s up!

Update:
Nothing to much to update. But I bought general hydroponics MaxiGrow and MaxiBloom to try on these lady’s this year after all y’all’s responses on the Gaia bloom and need to build microbes in my soil. The maxigrow and bloom have Cal mag in there along with a bunch of other stuff and appeared to be a one step process🤷🏼‍♂️ Worth a shot…
I trimmed of a lot of the BIG fan leaves/Water leaves and anything else that looked old. The girls responded really well and they’ve been tucked twice this weeks.

Ps- I took the case off my phone to try and get better pictures for y’all 🤣
 
Setting them up nicely mate.I’d purchase a net something with 3inch squares to run right across both of those scrogsn for when all those tops come up just to support them all.when I do this type of growvstyle I let them come up around jan 14 and by about the 6th of feb they start budding..seems your on the opposite side of the world you wouldn’t b far off letting them come up?my scrogs are different as I run them along the ground for 3 months.height at the end are bout 1.4-1.5metres..I use plastic wood clamps when they start to split from the V ..works really well.

I’ll definitely be adding a 3x3 trestle net when they start to fill out…
I think I just found the first signs we’re starting to flower
What say you?

If that’s the case I will try and tuck through stretch best I can for max another 3 weeks then they are what they are….
 
Do you pull off anything that hasn’t hit the SCROG yet or give it through stretch before giving up on some of those that are currently short?
It really depends on how much potential you think that branch has to break out from the crowd. Cleaning up the underside keeps the larf down to a minimum. I would remove all water leaves from the underside. This should promote more top growth. You could wait until stretch is done then decide which branches you feel will get enough light to grow big dank flowers.

Been doing some light trimming here and there but went after them pretty hard yesterday. End of this week will be three weeks I believe. Been tucking them every 4-5 days. They where getting 2tsp of MaxiGrow and 1 tsp of MaxiBloom now they’re getting fed 1.5tsp of MaxiGrow and 1.5tsp of MaxiBloom about every feeding. At the end of the week I’ll switch to 2tsp MaxiBloom and 1tsp MaxiGrow for a week then stop the MaxiGrow and Just do a TBSP of MaxiBloom.

I'm assuming the trellis is a 4 x 8? So 4 x 4 screen for each plant? Looking absolutely awesome Bro!!

Just an observation but you may want to start engineering a second layer screen to support the monster colas those plants are going to produce.

Wow dude..they look amazing.
 
Update:
Girls seem happy and look to have finished their stretch. I believe my last tuck was during the week of the 14th towards the end if I can remember right🧐
Since then I did a pretty heavy defoliation underneath and there are very few leaves left under the strings. Still think I need to thin out above but am fighting my brain on that. What say yeee???
When do y’all think I should add the second net?
They had their last feeding with MaxiGrow mixed in on Friday and I believe I’ll be running solely MaxiBloom from here on out. Ordering some UV greenhouse plastic and pvc pipe to tent everything soon in hopes to fight the moisture as the buds grow. That’s it for now! Thanks for tuning in….

Hell yeah dude. Gonna be a massive yeild come October!
 
Sounds like you’re a fellow NY’er so ya know what I’m up against 🤷🏼‍♂️ But thanks
Saratoga, NY and no longer an active outdoor grower.
I got enough humidity issues in an air conditioned room to come.
What a year for weather brother~!
You're doing great but the fat lady has not sang yet...

Yeah last year I lost about half of each plant from Bud rot and WPM if anything was remotely questionable it got canned but it was my first year, after this go round I hope to have my tent going, then just run a plant or two outdoor for fun/learning…

We where just camping up by you mid July at Alpine Lake. Beautiful area, caught a ton of fish, family had a BLAST!!!
 
NY, Toronto, Quebec, or Nova Scotia. Weather just sucks everywhere this year. Wait until grocery shopping in December. 🤦
 
Update:
Girls seem to be happy. Feeding every watering with the MaxiBloom starting to see a few yellow leaves hopefully not lacking N and just a normal thing.
Built this “hoop house” this week with 1/2” PVC and 6Mil UV resident geeenhouse poly.
Got 2 fans blowing up into the canopy, do y’all think I should adjust?
Hopefully with the gaps on the sides, underneath and up top I have good airflow.

You mentioned yellow leaves...... all i see is a perfect color green in natural light.

You can see the yellowing next to the darker leaves in some of these photos
Also in the big single leaf photo this plant has a ton of leaves with these really little dots??? Thoughts??
Also I added another fan today to blow across the tops…

Seeing it now as nitrogen def. Not a biggie atm but be aware of it when feeding.

I know nothing about growing in dirt or anything about dealing with possible mold problems (i just turn up the dehumidifier) here's a couple pictures frmy last grow that i kept an eye on thinking mold spores.

Thanks Smoke, these dots are hard textured and don’t rub off…is the N deficiency ok at this point in flower? I cut out the heavy N a week or so ago they should have about 4-5 weeks left of flower but I can bump the N again if need be…?

Have you scoped the underside of the leaves? Look up spider mites leaves and you'll see something similar but not exact. Any webs?

Might be too late to put the N back in the dirt as it takes so long to respond but maybe someone with outdoor experience will respond.

Looks possible wpm

If you can....you can go through and cut off fan leafs and if you can, give em some feed.
 
This picture F79C4380-ED5E-4C9C-A867-862BE918A370.jpegscreams spider mites to me, but i could be wrong. But it definitely doesn't look anything like the WPM ive seen, xould also be wrong on that too lol.
 
If you are not using IPM Id get on it now

I basically lost my first outdoor grow to WPM and bugs.

There's organic options too
