Im definitely learning a few things about the net process and how i can improve. The double was huge but not executed the best.
Definitely defer to 420 or DOA if they chime in, but my limited experience has taught me to remove sugar leaves that are mostly blocking healthy buds just below them. I try to do a 'hover over the top of the plant' every few days and clear out light blocking sugar leaves. For example, this leaf or two, or portions of the leaves, from a crop of your photo ...
Today i went with my gut and did exactly that before ive read your reply. Seemed like the right thing to do! Thank you
Good job @Mongoose!Day 38. Dutch Passion Lemon Kix.
You too can make your thriving cannabis plant resemble road kill, in 60 minutes or less.

Yes, it’s fine… but going to be tough not to brush up against your frosty buds. I use one of my longer bent coat hanger stakes to push the branches to the side with one hand while I pluck with the other.
Off to a great start @Nightqueen!
I usually give a couple weeks in between the big schwazzings but I still defoliate the tops daily. The main goal in the early stages of flower is to give enough light to the lower part of your plant so the nodes on the bottom don’t die out from lack of light and airflow. For now I would just maintain your tops and do another full strip top/bottom at the end of next week. Keep spreading her limbs out further on your top net and add some under canopy lighting in a week or two if you want to maximize full potential. When she hits her bulking stage and concentrates more on cola production instead of growing foliage is when she’s going to need all the light she can get. If your bottom net is in the way feel free to cut it out since your top net is doing a good enough job keeping your branches spread out. From your side profile pics I can see that your bottom net wasn’t tight enough allowing your flat canopy to grow up instead of out, would be good in the future to keep the net tighter by anchoring it to your tray or some weights that sit on the ground. For good examples you can see how I hold down my nets in my 2x4’, 4x4’ and 5x5’ tents.
Those were a couple Jack Herers I grew for ILGM back in 2024.
I noticed that too. Its one of the things Im taking note of to improve on the next one. Ive seen how you drilled holes in the tray and tied the wire cross then tie down the middle of the net to it. At one point kinda early on I hung a gallon jug with some water in it to pull one side of the net down but ended up taking it off. I'll work something out.
