I'm already 8 inches above the coco, and my light is maxed out... My tent is only 4 feet high and I must maintain a distance of 18inches... I can adjust need be..
But what do you suggest ? This is my first
Go at it. Right now I just hand water it but I may get a Christmas tree funnel and use that...
This is going to be really tough for you with the parameters you're working with.
Flowering stretch will easily add 1/3 to 1/2 the height after vegging & you're not done with that by quite a bit.
Pull all that vegetation down under the screen & do it daily (if not more often).
Were I you & decided to continue to grow, I'd look into a taller tent for the next run.
As for watering, I have a rectangular bucket I hang from my door on hooks that has a ball valve & about 6' of hose, I simply drop the hose on the girl I want to water & turn on the valve. I always give them about a gallon or so more than they "need" and I don't like to leave them standing in water so I rigged a 2' hose on the end of the trusty shop vac & suck the extra outta the tubs they sit in.
Simple and no bending over or dumping water all over the place.

Ya next run in getting a way taller tent. I know I'm pushing it really close. That's why I did all the training. I may flip sooner than later

Looking great! I'm at day 22 so we might all finish more or less at the same time.
Here are a few peaks at mine, the buds started to take shape and I'll have to figure out what to cut... I messed up a bit with this scrog by letting them grow to much through the net, so I'd say it's skeletal support at best.
Should I take away those little flowers just above the net, or does that stay on? Everything below the net is nice and naked.
EDIT: I just spread the tallest shoots out and about a bit and also trimmed her one final time. Now no touchy until the end.

Hey guys, half way through eh?
Here's some of mine, I'm feeling that the buds are pretty small...

Myself, I'll clear out the under story below the canopy to allow for airflow - like most everything - popcorn, leaves, fans, they all get the hook.
Just my .02 though.

But isn't it too late for that or am I good? I've already cut off a lot of leaves, don't ant to stress her too much, but on the other hand it is a good idea.

I'm still cutting handfuls and they havnt slowed down a bit... Again im not chopping away niether I keep it about 5% removal everytime im coming on the 5th week and I'll probably keep doing it for another week of I see sites suffering . My strains a very tolerant tho .. When you trimmed the first time did your plant react any way ? Like wilted or shriveled ? If it didn't then your plant doesn't mind being plucked , for example the cut of purple wreck I have hates defiolation it'll wilt if I remove too much

5 gallon bucket with a pump and hose should do you fine

No, actually nothing happened, so I'm guessing she doesn't mind.
Ok, I'll try and cut away leaves that are affecting budsites in the center of the canopy. And thanks for the idea with chopping of half of the leaf.
On my next round I won't be so soft, I'll cut away everything that's not worthy.

How much yield you expecting off this Scrog? Just curious, I'm doing a 12 bucket Scrog
I don't weigh anything any longer (I don't sell) - it's enough to keep myself and close friends happy for quite a while.
