When should i flip this plant.

This a liberty haze plant in DWC. When do you think i should flip it to 12/12 to get the maximum yield.. do you think i should put a pvc scrog net over it? This is 4x4 with 1000 watt mh/hps. Any suggestions on training and defoliation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. The second bucket is only for support. It is empty. This plant will be going into a 18 gallon rubbermaid for flowering. Thanks guys.

That's going to be a beast of a plant! Depending on how much she stretches, I would think about flipping soon. That girl would fill up a SCROG net fast! Great looking plant.

Yup, pretty much ready. My topped 2ft plants have reached 4ft in places.

IMO - Don't defoliate. If you want, you can remove the bottom leaves that get no light, elsewise leaf them alone

Have fun

Hey guys. I just transferred the plant back to its 18 gallon container with 600 ppm nutes. I also added Heisenberg's beneficial root tea. This tea saved this plant from catastrophic root rot. If I do DWC again I will use it from the beginning as a preventive measure. Root rot is horrible. It makes you not want to grow in DWC anymore. Here she is in her new home:



Here is the tea. I see little white clouds in it which I presume are the microbe colonies.


I plan of putting the scrog on in a week and then taking out the under leaves during the first two weeks of flower while
I am training the plant under the scrog.


Here are my pumps. I only have the reservoir half way full. This plant seem to prefer it that way.


I also have a small submersible water pump inside the res with a tub that goes outside. This will make it a lot easier to flush the nutes out when necessary

Nice set up.

That girl would make a nice scrog for sure. Nice and healthy, keep it going.

is she showing signs of preflowers or alternating nodes as of yet? couldn't really tell in the pix..

thanks for the input. She is a clone and has been showing alternating nodes for a while. She also is showing very small female preflowers. more updates to come soon. I think I will switch to 12/12 in 10 days or so just to make sure that she grows more new roots.
