2nd Grow. ScrOG grow. When to flower?

Hi all,

Quick question about ScrOG and initiating flowering. This is my second grow. I'm doing ScrOG method. Plants are on day 26 of veg. Screen is set 12 inches from pots. Just increased screen size to a 4x4 for 6 plants. Screen is pretty full how high should branches be above screen before flowering? Am I ready to initiate now? Also, I was reading somewhere that I should remove any branches that aren't 1/2 the size of the plants height, is this true?

You were ready two weeks ago
Flip it now

agreed. when I scrog I use the beginning of the stretch that takes place after flipping the lights to 12/12 to finish filling in the screen.

Next time flip to flower when net is 75% or so full

Get ready to tuck or tie down any long runners during stretch also.

I tried scrog for the first time and followed this advice. Kept tucking during the initial stretch to finish filling it out. Left about 3-4 days of stretch so they were about 6 inches above the net when they finished stretch.

Pretty sure I read that method in the scrog thread here on the forum.

Thanks all!

What’s your temp and humidity?

So I was keeping room around 70-75f max and someone recently told me to increase to 80-85f so because I was using led so I have trying that range. I believe I should be dropping back down now that I'm beginning to flower?

I keep humidity pretty stable between 40-60 % max 50% average rises for a bit when I do daily foliar feeding then drops back down usually do 3 foliar feedings a day.

Growing 100% organic no liquid nutrients (my heavily amended organic super soil recipe), only other food it gets is daily foliar feeding of EWC Tea 15-30 mins before lights come on then at two other random points throughout light period. Then molasses and Airborne effervescent tablet for dechlorination and micronutrients, and some epsom salt occasionally in the water when pots dry usually 2x per week. Last watering run off was still coming out at 1290 ppm, soil is pH buffered sits about 6.8.

Currently doing a lot of brewing in there 60+ gallons kind of an experiment to see if it increases ppm enough for CO² enrichment.

I actually forgot, I am using two kind of liquid nutrients. Roots organics- trinity in water and someone recommended BioCanna-Bio boost so now that I'm starting flowering I'm going to try for the first time. I will be doing through foliar feed with EWC Tea for first 2 weeks of flower, then add into water week 3 till harvest. If anyone has experience with the bio boost and have any tips please share.
