that's the thing about a scrog I don't think its so much of a % as much as it is a feel for how and what the plants are doing if that makes any sense.I told myself the next time that I was gonna let the stretch take care of filling the last 25 %of the screen figuring that or shooting for having a canopy that was 6 to 8" above the screen and having around 60 days left to finish up, my theory is that the buds won't be way above the net and would be more supported like I said my last scrog I filled the hole screen with shoots 6 to 8" above and then went 12 and 12,well they exploded in the end they were so heavy they just fell over against the sides of the tent and each other, it was a mess then bud rot, yadayadayada when I get home I'll see if I still got pics I'm not proud of it but It will show you what happens when you wait too long I love your net made one just like it but my next net will have 6"x6" squares too give each bud its space I also have grown the same strain each scrog now I know the plant and what its capable of so everything I've told you I would do might not be Ideal for your plants you know what I mean? It's a feel thing a trial and error thing it's an art and there's a learning curve so what I said before enjoy it and everything is good
I also have another trellis I will install another 8" above the one I currently have if need be. For added support.

Here's and update for everyone interested! Just have them a good feeding this morning with full strength nutes for the 3rd time. They love the nutes. No signs of burn at all. I'll list the nutrients I'm using below.

Advanced Nutrients
- Grow, Micro, Bloom (Ph balanced)
- B-52
- Sensi Cal/mag (I do this every other feeding)
I just purchased bud candy for flower as well. I will be getting overdrive eventually as well. And "must have" nutes or suggestions from the Advanced line I'm open to all suggestions.

It looks almost exactly like my first SCROG grow. The tent and placement of the plants is legit nearly a perfect replica.

And with that said, I thought 4 plants was just way too much to easily manage. With four plants under a good setup, I was constantly watering, feeding, pruning, etc. and as much as I love having my hands in my plants, I enjoy my kids more. Having that many plants took a lot of time and cut into time with the kids and family.

If this is your first time and have questions, I might be able to answer a few questions, but that was a long time ago and I'm just getting back into it. I have 4 beans in germ now that are from a random dude. I can't really get anything else though right now unfortunately.

If it's not your first, how do you manage your maintenance time to get the most productive crop in the most efficient manner?

I hope to see some more from you.

This write up should answer most of your questions. I have 9, 3 week old seed starts, 4 Original Blueberry and 5 "The Black" that I have already topped when the first 5 fingered leaves opened up. I just transferred them from starter cups to their own 3 gallon air pots. Just gotta let em veg and wait to sex em to find out which ones I am going to SCRoG/

I also took one of each strain and transferred them to my outdoor 50 gallon raised beds...Hopefully these two turn out to be females! *crosses fingers* Cheers
