First timer here and just want to know how these are looking to some experienced growers. Got told to thin out my plants so I did about 4 weeks in growing in coco Ph is at 6.1 EC is 1.2 at the moment getting CX horticulture nutes RH sits at about 50% and room temp varies in 22-26 degrees Celsius.
Should I scrog em should I let them be just a little friendly advice would nice.
Two oils are after defoliating and the other is pre.
Thanks in advance

did you recently transplant into those pots?

i see you buried most of the stem in the coco, may i ask how big your grow tent is and how big your pots are?

honestly it might be the perfect time too flower those plants :D

Tent is 4x4x6.6(1.2mx1.2mx2m) they are 15L pots reckon its a good time to turn em?
i recently grew a plant in coco coir for 24 days from seed and at day 24 i transplanted into a 2.5galon pot and flowered it the plant exploded..... stretched for days.......

so you have 6 plants in a 4x4 grow tent with 4 weeks of veg time in 4 gallon pots filled with coco?

lmfao bro i would flower....

those plants are most likely going too turn into monsters during the Stretch and completely fill the grow tent up :).

but im not the best grower so maybe someone with more experience can chime in :)

yup your on the right track keep doing what your doing!

also if your grow light does not have any UVA or UVB you should consider buying a UV light.

a lot of people say that UV is bro science but they have no idea what they are talking about plants have UVR8 receptors for a reason.

stimulating UVR8 receptors with UVA/UVB will make your plants produce more terpenes aka smell better and produce more cannabinoids :)

who doesn't want better smelling harder hitting plants? :D <3 ;3

I'm using a 400w full spectrum LED 5000k light hadn't even thought of extra lighting is it worth the additional cost.

Those are great looking plants….you’re a natural!!
A 500w full spectrum is a good choice for a 4x4.
Those girls should really stretch once U flip them, so plan on that space to be wall to wall.
IMO lollipopping is the right move…..the last thing U want is a bunch of larfy loose buds that are not worth the pain it requires to trim them.
If you’re not gonna do a scrog net, I would consider training them a bit more by spreading them out & tying down the outer perimeter. Do this before the stretch and you’ll have 25, 30, or more tops and a yield that is much easier to work with.
I can’t use a scrog b/c of access, so I tto maximize the area of the canopy, in your case a 4x4, with as many tops as possible. U may not have 3 or 4 big giant donkey dick colas, but I’d rather have 3 dozen golf ball size tops. The giant colas are nice to look at but are more prone to mold…..
Anyway, spread em out, tie em down and those lower sites will grow up to form your canopy.
U can see in my pic that the canopy isn’t perfect but I’ve got a helluva lot of tops.
Good luck…..I’ve also included a chart that really shows exactly when a plant needs its primary nutrients. I used it early on as my grow guide. The one thing that many growers don’t realize is how much N a plant uses in those first few weeks of flower. I used to think that once the flowering began, the need for N was minimal……not the case.

I understand Scrogging I just don't know how to do it properly without damaging my plants. I'm after every bit of help and advice I can get
