So this is my first time using a scrog net I think it's coming out somewhat decent not the best my question is should I keep it in veg for a few more days or a few more weeks or should I flip it to 12:12 they might look like they're a decent size but I should have planted them a little higher in the pot so they're like an inch and a half to 2 inch deep into the pot and they're really not that tall at all they might be a foot tall at most but I feel like they're spreading pretty well so far with the net

Unless you're not looking to fill your scrog, go ahead and flip them to 12/12. I have found you can still manipulate them for about a week after the flip so you could, flip and re work her to fill out a few more squares in your scrog. Quite happy with my first time scrogging. She still has more than a month to go.

See myn are about 80% filled and I heard that when at 80% filled flip but my problem is there not stretching at all!!!! When I grow normal I have more stretching then this they are extremely short and the light is all the way up cause I was hoping they would strech a Lil bit

Just cut it to 12/12 give a week and you’ll see stretch its what they do, they'll stretch 2/3 times though no doubt there's exceptions.

I'd flip it and keep tucking for the next 15/18 days.

This is a pic of my current, first Scrog. Stretched about 5” after flip but just tucked them under.839BE811-5B63-4368-853B-59D50AE5417F.jpeg922C406F-A39F-43FC-80C2-B72BD2ABD8F0.jpeg she’s a HSO Passionfruit punch photoperiod in a 2x2x7’ closet under Mars hydro TS 1000.

And here's another question I've always been told that you want more power in your light during flower compared to veg now after I switch over to 12:12 when do I turn my light up

I would have them at 100% by the time flowers were coming in personally.

I just know when I had my light turned up all the way when I first got it it was fucking the plants up in veg mode it was actually hurting the plants it was too much light too strong for such a small area so I had to turn them down a little bit I just turned them up a little bit being that they're flipped into a 12-12 now they're probably about 90% 95% up

I set my net 12" above the soil. It has nothing to do with plant size or a net strategy. Its to have room to water the thing. I use a 6 cup watering can and with the net 12" above the plants. It's still a tight fit.

Understand you're going to be watering the thing for 4-5 months. Having a super low, tight to the pot plant will really grate your nerves.

Here's some updated pictures from today I also wanted to show you how minimal the area is between the net and the pot

Is one plant still shorter than the other 2? May benefit from setting that pot on a booster to lift it up. Then you can fill more of the net, and get light in deeper.

What's going to happen is the plant will grow as if there's no net. There's not enough room to tie it down. Not after stretch.

I kind of restarted today because I had a little bit of an issue with drainage it wanted to drain towards the back of the tent and I couldn't get to it to clean it so I slightly remove the plants cleaned out the 10th real quick through a board underneath the back rear end of the test while the drainage would come towards the front so I could suck it out especially when I do a flush and then I put all three of them back in and basically re scrogged they all kind of held there positioning and most went back into same positions and I think it looks alot more full and healthy as well I cleaned alot of b.s out and I kept the net just a tad bit higher this time for watering reasons
