So this is my setup. 450w led and a 900w led
Plants are almost 4 weeks for small ones.
And 6 weeks for the tall ones. I am only going to screen the small ones. When is the best time to start

I tip my clones once they have a few roots and chuck a screen on them when they are around 6 inches because im limited on height and my strain stretches like a bitch, if that helps. Lower the better.20170205_211932.jpg

Hey,
Seems like you got some decent wattage for a pretty nice yield IF you use your space adequately. I'm assuming you're limited on your vertical growth because you mentioned a screen. I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume you're doing a SCROG type of grow. If that's the case then you should definitely start training your smaller plants until you clear 1 ft from the base of the plant. I say put Very carefully start bending the top of the plant slowly underneath the screen. As soon as any of your tops start poppin up 3-4 inches from the screen pull them down underneath the screen. Keep on doing this all thoughtout vegging until your whole screen starts filling up. To help expedite the filling out of the screen I suggest topping your main shoot to produce more lateral growth. After the screen is filled out , then you could swith to 12/12. Good luck!
nice, and I would also trim up all the under the screen growth after it begins to fill
