Your ideas on flowering

So I have a fucked up scrog thing going on. 4 plants in an aero tub. Using gh 3 part flora and aqua shield.

At this point I have everything tied down to a screen. I supercropped last night.

After they start to heal, maybe a week or so?... I will switch to 12. 12.

So any opinions as to whether I should give 24 hours darkness or anything like that?
What about going back to 24 hours the last week of flowering?

Should I go straight to the HPS bulbs?

From what I have learned about hps you can change it now. Or use it throughout your entire grow. As far as 24 hours of dark at the start or end of flower I don't do it. But its your grow and your decision. Certainly can't hurt. Good luck. Can we see what your girls are looking like?

I try very hard to give just opinions and never advice...but, I am going to make an exception here....my opinion is I like to give 24-48 hours of dark prior to harvest...just personal preference.

The only advice I would like to freely offer is....change your avatar pic...it frightens me and sends chillz down my spine! LOL!!!!

^^^I thought the irony was humorous.^^^

Before and after I supercropped last night.

Kind of a long story. And if u want you can click my signature and see. But I started out thinking I would train them down to a table. Scrapped that and built a screen. It's a mess

Yes the avatar. I do remember you. The vacation. Lol

Yeah I was gone for awhile. Never got a successful grow under my belt. Hopefully this will be semi successful with a lot of lessons learned. Next will be plants topped and trained and properly scrogged

@$bkbbudz$ may have some advice on the screen as I have yet to attempt that.

The plants look good. You did a nice job supercropping. I do believe the screen should have been raised up.

Yeah I remember you to and as I recall the last time we 'interacted' here I freely offered the same 'advice' I did just now. SO....For the love of God....PLEASE!!...

Not advice...just my experience and method in my grow...I placed my screen about 3-4" from the canopy. and let them grow into it before training. TBH though it was my first Scrog and I was off kilter from the start...I did not take into consideration that a scrog is best done with same strain plants...different strains = different growth rates, 12/12 switch stretch amount etc. I think it turned out very nicely though and I will do more Scrog growing in the future.

It's more of a trellis at this point. I have so much shit tied down that there is no raising it. I'll have to keep tieing it down.
Lessons learned.....

Since you guys are so helpful here I'll go change the avatar for you.

Should have changed that avatar at the start of your grow. You wouldn't be having so much trouble with your grow. Lol
Good luck keep us up to date on your flowering success.

Here's another question.

Could I just switch to flower now before they heal up? Wouldn't they just heal up during the transition/stretch?
