Incredible bulk
Chronic haze
3 of each under 1mx1m net squares 2"x2"
600hps in coco perlite
Transplant n super cropped 3days ago and net put on.

I'm wanting to flip next week.nets prob 75-80% fill.
Do let it go? Do tuck to create new bud sites or do I tuck to make even canopy?

Should all nodes be under the net when I decide to let it go and when do I decide
Incredible bulk is a heavy Indica, chronic haze is a 60% sativa, so there should be minimal flower stretch. How full to have screen depends on height of tent. If you have all the head room you want, fill the screen 95- 100% then flip with every node at screen height. Otherwise I would say flip at 80%. Your 600w has some good penetration so you can let those colas get pretty big. You can control the final height of the buds by changing how long into flower you tuck nodes.
Lots of head room? Want 10" colas? flip to 1212 when screen is 100% full and don't tuck at all
Minimal head room? Want 5" colas? Flip to 1212 when screen is 80% full and continue tucking branches up to, but not more than, 2 weeks into flower or when screen is full.
This is where it can get tricky, if you have limited headroom, veg too long, and don't have enough screen to continue training, your plant can get too tall and run into the light and get bleached!
I love scrog, great way to maxamize yield. Would like to see some pictures if you got them!

Dont forget to correctly defoliate the whole plant, and lollipop under the screen when the plant is big enough. Some will disagree but the canopy of a scrog can get thick, this greatly reduces light on lower branches and leafs, and can increase the chance of mold.
Cheers mate thanks for that.hieghts not a problem just wanted to flip it in 4 days as that would be 7 days from transplant and super crop.ill try get a pic up today or tomorrow.

When and do defoliate and lollipop and how much.

Ligilizeit..I can't get pics ATM as my phones crap and blury.i will use wife's later.I have i little problem anyways.watered them first time under net and It's way to low that Its such a struggle and hazard to water. Can I raise my net now a couple inches?or will it hurt my yield?.i know these girls don't stretch much in flower so I don't want to lose the sites I have now that are grown along the net.im flipping in 2days.cheers

Buy a cheap funnel, and a tube that fits the end, you can try to use that to water the plants under the net.
I use a water pump, some hoses, and a couple hose "T"s to water my plants 20170609_210042.jpg
But, I only have 4 plants so it was a bit easier to install

I defoliate and lollipop alittle at a time, once every few days.
My goal is to have clean branches under the screen, and minimal large fan leafs above the screen while keeping sugar leafs and other fan leafs that do not shade buds by the end of the third week of flower. After that it's not a good idea to stress your plant at all if you help it. And remember, you NEED some fan leafs, they serve as a defence for your plant, so if there is a deffeciency it has leafs to suck nutrients out of, rather than sucking them out of the buds

If you don't have to worry about head room then it's not a big deal. I would say another couple weeks and they will be ready for the flip. Just keep tucking and trying to evenly spread out those top nodes
