Aww they're staring up at your scrog with love m8!

If they Jump really high they could almost reach the screen Your screen looks very well made. Won't be long now until they are big enough, once they are done rooting, BOOM.
Just a thought. You could use the scrog screen to make a sort of tent with no top, panda film around the legs to make a box. This would much improve the reflected light they are getting by containing the lamp by making a smaller room in a room. You are probably not as penny pinching as I am though, I cant stand wasting light. Cant wait to see you have a go at a scrog, the results are staggering and you may become addicted like me. If I had a field of weed I'd still work day and night to keep all them plants under the screen

They are they love the light two 600hps but yah Dutch I was thinking that when I was done making my scrog I thought it looked like a box and wanted to fill them in like walls but I thought about it and I don't want jut cuhz it would be pretty hard to water if I covered it up, but my walls are kinda white so they reflect okay I guess lol , but we should start a field if dreams then lol, but I would definitely use a scrog also I kno it's my first time but from every other journal I seen used with a scrog they all had amazing result + yield

 

[Light Addict]

Yep sgrogging is awesome, did a big tent one a while back with seven think different from dutch passion. Was goin nuts massive crop but had to terminate early only ended up with average smoke and only 22 oz in end could have prob doubled or more if I could have finished it lol.

 

[aztecbuds]

Yah can't wait I'm excited , I have ten little ones going hopefully there all female but how many little squares u think ill need for all my plants? Why did u have to terminate early!? 22 oz seems good lol, but how many plants were u doing at the time?

 

[Light Addict]

Seven and just had to kill it for work being done to my place.

[Light Addict]

Yeah was not my best of weeks,was in a foul mood for ages.lol now back to one at a time for a while. My Tutt is goin nuts now she's in 12 /12.

hey guys just a little pic update pics were taken earlier today, i should be flipping them pretty soon, any suggestions on the scrogging, ive ran into diff opinions ones that say that your plant can be under 8 inches under the scorg others say 50% atleast threw the scrog before switching? the first one seems reasonable do to the streching period? anyways here are some pics

 

[Light Addict]

I'd give em a while yet before flipping them my friend they could still fill out some more. Just my opinion though! Looking good and healthy!

I do a 4 week veg and they hit the screen, then I give em a week of lst training under the screen until about half the squares in the screen have a bud in them then its time to flip. With a 4 week veg and the week lst I need 30 squares per plant, but the longer you veg the more holes you will need. If you want to flip soon you need that screen touching the tops of the plants now so you can train them under the screen for a while before you flip to 12/12. I don't think there is a right way to do a scrog, you gotta check out a few and see the results your looking for and how much effort your willing to put in. I do the lazy mans scrog method of just keep them under the screen for 4 weeks and then let them grow up through it to establish the colas. Good luck and have fun

there are 2 uses for a screen
1) as a support for plants branches so they do not fall over.
2) to delineate the area above the screen for colas and under the screen as a defoliated area.

 

[aztecbuds]

This plant is showing signs but what do you guys think make or female pre flowers

 

[KingJohnC]

you are looking for white pistils coming from the calyxes to confirm a plant female.

the female cannabis pre flower

[stealthgrow]

Hard to see in pic if there are pistils, but I think I might see a couple. Give it another day or 2 to be sure.

Sorry Dutch I must have missed this comment, but thanks I'll take your advice into consideration thanks all of you for your help

It looks too early to tell by your photograph if you plant is a male or female. I would need a close up photograph on the calyx and how it is attached to the stem to make a better decision.
