Indoor Growing Scrog

Thanks for the welcome, it's inspiring and makes me want to try this technique but having never grown before it seems a far fetched idea. Maybe one day.

Those 20 young ladies are looking super healthy for their age 420! What are your methods for getting such a good start for the first 14 days brother?

I haven’t figured it out yet either brother but I think it has a lot to do with genetics. After you questioned me about my PPFD months ago I started checking with my Photon app to see where I’m at and even with a low PPFD I’m still getting shorties.

Photone is awesome, eh? Glad you got that going. So ... with light levels measured, the only remaining unknowns are genetics, the plant's and the grower's.

Speaking of genetics, gonna be fun flattening this gal out in her 4' x 2' tent. Her tallest branch is 24", others around 20".
And she was supposed to be 'short and stout'. I'm learning: Ya' never know.
( Will do the HST in a few days. )

My old FCE8000 is currently pulling 300 watts from the wall and putting out about 475PPFD around the perimeter and 600 towards the middle.
Day 12

What?! 18 plants at the same time!

Thought about getting a 4' x 4' tent, but only for a minute. No space for one. So ... I left her stem bases as long as necessary to allow her flattened branches to fit the tent. And even then I'm going to have to curl a few of them to make them fit. In-progress photos, taking a break to save my aching back. More leaves to remove, and at least one more net to add, offset from the current one, to get her tops down. HST was easy with her, thankfully -- nice flexible branches. I'll have to manage whatever buds happen in her angled center section, even if I have to cull some of them if they're too tight. One thing I learned with previous grow -- had too many buds in the center area that were too tight together, and mostly larf below their tops.
