I’ve done it before and after. My back says before is much better.
Agreed. I like to use the net line as a guide to what needs to be cleaned up underneath. Supplemental cleanup can be had underneath but not critical. Really up to you how much regrowth below the net line you want to deal with at harvest. I'll come back on day 20 of flip and do a cleanup of regrowth and let her coast to harvest from there.
Hey Mister! How ya doing?Agreed. I like to use the net line as a guide to what needs to be cleaned up underneath. Supplemental cleanup can be had underneath but not critical.

I prune pretty much like CG. I'll top at node 5, let the branching develop then FIM a week before flip to set up max bud sites.
As far as dry yields, much of that goes to genetics more than anything else. I've been blessed with superior genetics from my FloBro. Those genetics allowed me to surpass my one plant yield record of 16 oz. so those genetics are going to stick around for a while! I am also a soil grower but that god damned @Moe and his side by side are pulling me back into a "dining room" grow.
I'm good so far. Hopefully I didn't screw myself up too bad. So far things are looking like I'll make a full recovery but we'll see how much range I can recover in rehab. Missed you and the crew!
I built a 3x3 screen in my 5x5 tent and still have trouble getting around. I thought a foot would give me room but the two side against a wall don't give me a lot of room for activitiesI'm good so far. Hopefully I didn't screw myself up too bad.

CG, this may be useful to you and/or others but a tent, 4 x 4 or larger, makes accessibility inconvenient especially if the tent is situated in a way that you have limited access to entry points or have your scrog set. This is my dilemma. The 5 x 5 is in the corner of my office so I only have access to one side door and main entry. I can crawl under the net and access pretty much the entire area but I'm going to fabricate a base that I can attach a pneumatic piston, like what they use for office chairs, with a cushion on top of and place the base in the middle of the tent. Anytime I need to access to a hard to get to area I can install the pole and cushion in the base and lay above the canopy and do whatever work is necessary in that area without breaking branches.
Yup! Whenever I'd do buildouts I'd go over the floor plan with the client. They ALWAYS would complain that they wanted more floorspace dedicated to flower. Understood but trying to work inside 24" and not break branches bumping into plants is going to get annoying REAL FAST! Some would listen. Some wouldn't. What surprised me was their surprise at my charging them more for having to reconfigure the room to the specs I had suggested from the outset.
My light tapers off after a 3 foot square. And that's where my plan came from. I knew I didn't want a 4x4 tent so I went a size up. I'll deal with it until I really get the hang of this and then I'll have dedicated rooms for flower and veg and my current room that houses the tent will be my water room. Til then, I'll crawl.Yup!

They'd say "But that's how we had it planned originally? Why are you charging me more?"
Seriously?.......
I will need to see a vid of that in action!I'm good so far. Hopefully I didn't screw myself up too bad. So far things are looking like I'll make a full recovery but we'll see how much range I can recover in rehab. Missed you and the crew!

My top is wall to wall, I know once I set it, I won’t be going in. I have a water cart with a long wand on it that I water with, and really the only work is I defoliate from the top and maybe move a branch.
Hey! When you water with your water wand I assume you have it set to shower so as not to create a giant mudhole in the media. You had mentioned in a previous post that you like to water some, let it soak into the media then come back and reapply. How much do you initially apply and how many times do you reapply? I'm not sure if you water drain to waste or if you water with no runoff.
I water only in the root zone, and yeah she’s set to a low volume as I don’t want it splashing dirt all over the tent and underneath my flowers.
I use a big yellow exercise ball. I go on my back and roll upside down under net and reach back. Not perfect but it works.I'm good so far. Hopefully I didn't screw myself up too bad.

Yep, I though my plants were 24 days old, hell they are 37 days old, dang, well sooner harvst I hope as I am running out of "headstash",Lol Cheers MaxYeah I meant to say the size of your plants are too big as you can’t really scrog them.like nxt grow top or whatever and start training them early..I know @CannaGranny let’s them get a certain size then puts them under..maybe she can help with how many plants to put in your tent .I know there’s other guys scrog going but I can’t think of them right now.lol..I’m a little smashed…..where am I….what day is it
That watering wand is the ticket if I remember to flush the container of nutrients after a run. I will search for one as opening the tent on 2 sides can be a bitch. This wand idea keeps slipping as I do hand water DTW. I enjoy the involvement with my gals, talkin to em an such. Thanks CannaGranny,SS
My pleasure! This set up holds ten gallons and is on wheels. The pump, a rechargeable battery. The wand is three feet long and I can get to everything in the tent to water. Best money I ever spent, made a hard job much easier.
play music for them etc.
Skywalker is a good one. I really liked that smoke. First time for you?Here's the frosted Skywalker 2 days ago. I will get pictures again todaySS grower View attachment 19569

I enjoy my ladies too
Moe, I just bought 1 more 5 pack at Seedbazzar, Rick Mosca is the breeder. I am amazed with their size, these gals 5 feminized per pack are Big! Later update on purchase. I am a "black label" member and have VIP access. Labor Day sale now. Gotta pop, one tent empty, no bueno,Cheers SSgrower
My girl gets public radio. Good mix of current events, science talks and classical music. Nighttime is when it gets funky. Night crossings and hearts of space are my jam sessions. Pan flutes and smooth electronica.I enjoy my ladies too
My ladies get native flute music, and Sirius 70’s and 80’s music. They like it, I like it..happy grow room!
Actually these plants are 37 days old here, my bad,Cheers everyone SSgrowerBoltingnow at 23 days old, wow SS grower testing Mosca Frosted Skywalker View attachment 19253
I'd definitely be snapping and supercropping that meristem down. Plants look great ss!
She's almost in the lights at 5ft. 5in. Dang so, twist the meristem until it "cracks" and carefully bend down into my scrog or Yo-Yo. Thanks, anyone else? SS
She got tall man. Looking good
Imma keep that canopy level, Sativa: “Hold my beer!”
