My SCROG "Grow Cart" on wheels

okay heres the deal that one area looks denser because when I repotted and had to rebend all my upper stuff ended up in that corner.....see attached pic and you notice (from yesterday) that the area your referring to has a branch w/ tons of new grow that will at some point occupy that area...the weave just got off when I had to re-bend...thats why as it grows anymore the branches will all be curved to grow clockwise around the screen.........

but thats sooo much for you sweet words....4 of my recent clones are going into hempy buckets all 6 have majore roots!!! the other 2 im going to do in soil so when they go to their new home it will be a familiar medium to the person....now mind you the screen doesnt look as fluffy today because I didn a whole lot of training but i think you can see over there in that bare area the growth this will be there....hell ill go ahead and throw up these pics for a root gel experiment Im doing w/ FDD and some others ....the root gell was applied to the branches im pointing at and they are noticeably fatter than the rest of the branch and some gel was put on the new bend that is all bulging now...some drips of the gel ended up on the stalk hence the crazy growth there....also all former clones sites got rubbed w/ rooting gel which made them bulge out its pretty tripppy!!! oh yeah and i had cut a branch off when i repotted that I was going to clone but put it off and stuck it in water and it began to form roots so its part of the gel experiment too
You're so smart with your experiments!!!

Looks really good Pink!

Hey Pink..she look nice! I would trim some of the fan leaves at the bushy tops. (underneath) . Trust me, it's better to trim while vegging so when she's flowering you wont set her back..Just my 2 cents...Bye!

Dont trim the fan leaf unless they are under the cannopy. you want it to get as much photosynth as you can.

baby doll I love you but if you havent noticed a plant can grow just as efficiently w/ no fan leaves I have been trimming fan leaves consistently and it has never shocked her....it is a very advanced technique but if you aid in proper care of roots and environment the plant can still thrive with out the abundance of fan leaves....that girls been naked forever...I trimmed fan leaves on top of the screen on sunday she is so hearty she can handle it IT never shocks her...but lol I wont be trimming anything during flower only tucking...

What would be the benifit of triming them? Wont your tops be well... on the top? Wont the fans would help with branching wouldnt? Im sure it can take it but wouldnt it grow faster if you didnt? Im not by any means saying your wrong. Ive never done the scrog so im just trying to get info.

elizabeth is funny she actually grows more when she gets trimmed...im not saying all plants will do this...but I have read advanced growing techniques that support my training methods....what i understand about scrogs and these types of plants is that the budsites form on the branches and tops...in a vertical grow becuz the light is focused primarily on the top this is where the colas form with no LST etc. the principle behind {and billybob baby ....420-47 anybody correct me if Im wrong..} horizontal growing is exposing as much of the branches to the light field as possible i.e. effecting more budsites...that should grow at a 45 degree angle from the branch...the trimming or tucking that occurs later simply allows for max exposure to the branch...I have found that if a fan leave has a branch forming if I let it barely emerge and trim the leaf the branch will thrive just the same on my girl....so its just a part of manicuring.....trust me Im going to blow your mind with what that plant is going to yeild...

Leaf removal has been a controversial issue among growers. I have found that a plant with all it's fan leaves removed can still develop normally while exposing a more sites to direct light. True, leaving as many leaves as possible is beneficial, it's a choice one must make between the balance of leaf/flower which makes up the canopy. It should be noted that thick stems and a large root mass coupled with a complete fert regimen aids in the maintenance of plant health as well. Since the leaf base and leaf stem also stores valuable resources, trimming and removing 1/2 of the leaf's length while still leaving it intact, allows the stored energy to still be readily available. The leaf continues to fully function, while saving space, providing a safe alternative. taken from :

Scrog : Advanced Tactics - The evolution of scrog and I dont use every thing he says in my repetoire but there is enough there for me to feel okay about leaf trimming even though he says leave half the leaf eh its all in what mood im in...

I'm not saying to cut off all fan leaves , just underneath (as I stated in my last post) and some on top................I trimmed a lot of fan leaves off for days and I'm still trimming during flower and my buds are dank! In a scrog you need room on the screen for bud sites not leaves. Sure there are still many Fan leaves, but you have to trim.My shit was crowded in some spots. So if she is trimmed more during vegg, she wont slow down during flower...Ask BillyBob..He regretted not trimming as much during vegg. It set his ladies back about 2 weeks...

if your plant has a good root system and otherwise is well in terms of health issues....then I can assure you its just going to open up budsites thats all..I know vertical growers that trim fan leaves during flower to maximize on budsites that are there but hidden by a fan leaf..

And for me when I trim she bushes....we love bushy....plants that is...

your flowering your 10 inch plants that have nute burn everyweek???I wouldnt trim your plants they have had problems from the beginning they need everything they can get...from those fan leaves...read back I think its page 11 is when i cloned.or there in, exactly what I did is in there and since the 3 that got too dry in the 1st 12 hours of my first cloning ever I have had all survive and root amazingly well..
EDIT:
I got pink magic though (seriously you would be amazed at what ive done w/ a vareity of plants) i just clean a blade w/ alchohol i get some rooting gel and put it in the cap from a beer bottle so I only take what I need...then microwave a bowl of water til its warm- hot/drop peak disks in get all set up in front of my patient and by the time im ready the first peat is swole....then i make my incision at a 45 degree angle drop it in a cup of water get my peat puck squees the water out..take a chopstick poke a hole about midway, take cutting out of water dip in gel and i dip like 2-3 times then i stick in hole of peat...gently squeeze side of peat in to hold cutting up but not smother it place in cup of perlite clip long leaves in half place humidity dome thats all nd i mist the pucks like 2 times a day for a week then back off and boom i got roots.
