All in one thread: Indoor organic grow, topped w uncle ben’s Method and ScroG

[Richard Drysift]

Glad someone is listening! I like gradually reducing hours of dark to reduce stretching somewhat later on after the flip. You’ll usually end up with a nice bud structure to boot. Looks to me like you may need to flip earlier rather than later. I don’t scrog but that screen is sure getting full. Another week in veg is probably good but not sure I’d go much longer than that. Reducing daylight also slows them down a bit vertically so it really depends on how fast they grow.

I’ve heard from some folks here ( @Richard Drysift ) that it will stretch a bit less and have closer node structures by reducing slowly, simulating the seasons changing. Do you think it’s ready for flip or keep vegging for a week or 2?

When you're doing a ScroG and tying tops down right thru the stretch then stretch is good. Lot of guys put up a screen but don't tie down to it then wonder why the screen ends up 2ft below the colas and doesn't help much. lol A screen does not make it a ScroG unless you're vegging horizontally across it until flower is well going.

I tend to veg a long time and have branches overlapping branches all over the place before flipping but you end up with a lot more smaller colas than just a bunch of big ones. I tie down the side branches that grow off the main ones too.

You can flip any time you want tho. A longer veg usually means higher yields.
