Yes, it seems to be 2x a day task lol. Also I have a question on the underside. Every node I pull gets new growth next day. This is a revegged plant after last harvest. Is that why the growth is so strong? Its like them pesky gray hairs. You pluck on and two or three pop back up lol.

I think they all do that re-growth thing. I usually pinch it all off each watering.
At this point, 3 weeks in, the stretch should be over, you should not have to move 'em from hole-to-hole anymore.

She is super hard to get under her in the middle and backside.

So i can keep a couple mothers and have no trouble cloning. Should I try a SOG next. Would yeild differ greatly if say you compare this one plant compared to 10 single cola plants. I would think caring for one plant is easier than 10-20, right?

For sure. Your Scrog looks good.
I would leave the larger fan leaves above the screen alone as long as they're green.
Take from the bottom only so growth will be directed to the top growth. Those large fan leaves are what is creating the sugars that dictate your final bud size and amount of trichome coverage.
When your lights are on, those nice green leaves are doing their photosynthesizing thing. Cannabis is a night flowering plant. Buds grow during lights off, not the other way around.
A little trick is to keep your room dark for 24 hours going into flower, which kicks flower off early, or to keep your room dark for last 36 hours of your cycle prior to harvest which will fatten up buds at the end of your cycle.

And that folks is the benefit to forums and research! . Now i am more confident on my grow and not so worried of leaves covering buds. Also led me to dome research on the parts and jobs of a cannabis plant. Thanks guys!

Cant seem to find a defiant answer so thought id just ask the question straight out.
Whats the best size grid to use for SCROG?

Im going to have mine mounted to the top of my DWC container so everything is quite low profile.


Then im laying a mess ontop of that but have a whole heap of different sizes I can get.

All dependant on size of space and size plant you want. Heres a current scrog pic if it helps you visually

This plant is in a screen I made with about 1.5"x1.5" squares. The screen itself is 2'x3'. Had a time crunch so flipped early before she filled up the screen. She is about 2'x2.5' give or take. Id say about 60-70 tops all together. I feel shes crowded though but growing been just fine so far.

Its pretty much going to depend on how long you want to Veg. Give some environment conditions and what medium your growing. Strain and also nutes your using. As accurate as you can be and alot of us can try to figure an estimate size of plant per weeks in veg. Do you know how long you want to veg?
Or just build a big screen and if it doesnt fill, it doesnt fill. But per plant 2'x2' is a good size for small spaces. Bigger plants can fill a 4'x4' screen easily. Just remeber to give yourself working space around and underneath your plants

what he said.
and also remember... the plant could easily more than double in size during the first 2-3 weeks of flower. (the stretch).

Mesh im looking at is white plastic.
And $6-8 depending on hole size for a bit the right size to cover the top of my framing.
Ridged enough to hold the open ends of the frame together. But easy and cheap enough to break it if I have too.

Yes revegged! Good method for scrog. Wont let me post a pic of the underside now. I have one in my grow journal though.
Mesh would be a good option id say. Is more like a basketball net type cord? Or like a mesh laudry sack or fishing net type cord? Either id say would work

If it's what i'm thinking, there are two types. one is for scrog and one is more for supporting clones and autos.
