Photoperiod Gorilla Glue #4 & White Widow

[Suki]

Any suggestions on when to flip these to flower?

I hear people suggest once the net is 75% full. Does means budsites in 75% or just leaves in 75% of squares. I’m counting leaves in 78 of 128 squares, or 61% full. The struggle now is evening this canopy out, especially in those corners. The white widow on the left seems to be growing more toward the front rather than the back, so there’s also that to deal with lol.

Shout out to @Death The Cultivator who convinced me to scrog on my last grow. I’m loving it so far!

I'd go by budsites personally!

You have to inch them square by square. Tuck them under and they'll try to grow up, wait until they have grown a bit longer then the square is wide and tuck again... Don't forget to clean the undercariage of leaves and shoots that won't make it through. I'm new to this SCROG game, but slowly getting the hang of it.

Thanks Bob!

Yeah, I've been tucking every day. Minor undercariage cleaning, but planning on doing some heavy duty trimming the day I flip. I'm thinking I'll give it until I get new growth in ~75% of the squares, then continue continue tucking for a week or so post-flip to fill out the rest?

Sounds like a plan!!

I wouldn't bother pruning until day 10 of flower and then day 21. You don't want to be aggressive if you can help it despite what others may say a stressed out plant is more susceptible to problems than a healthy, mostly unfucked with plant.

The plants are pretty dense but spread them in a way that allows at least 6 inches of growth above the net. I think you have another week before going to flower. I don't do by budsites, I look to fill the canopy so that light doesn't hit the floor. Then I lightly prune at day 10 followed by a second prune just below the net at day 21. Aside from weaving and those two pruning events I don't touch my plants.

Thanks pal! Are you counting flowering days from the flip, or from the the emergence of pistils?

Holy bushy, Batman!

Has to be flip. Anything else is arbitrary

Those are some dense plants, check the lower growth and prune anything 6+ inches from the net. They are almost ready but I think they would benefit greatly the further you can get everything spread, I'm honestly of the opinion that you could practically get away with flowering them in 3 days after the prune.

Color and everything looks on point, very healthy ladies. Did you take cuts? The white widow definitely needs those lower branches cut away but if you don't prune might considering going to flower in a day or so.
