Cool. Just no defoliation until the start of week 3 of flower and only then if the plants are too dense to allow light to the lower buds.
Man U can’t for the life of me understand how much this put into perspective for me! You can say do whatever but until you’re hands on you just won’t understand!
I'm still new, so my $.02 is worth about that much...
Looking good in there! Pretty tight!!! Love your SCROG design btw!! I prefer to trim all lower secondary bud sites and branches prior to or at flip to 12/12. My rule of thumb is if the top won't reach above the trellis or will be completely blocked by main branch then cut it off to redirct energy. Just my $.02.Been growing for years indoors, both vertical and horizontal grows. You can finds some of them in my signature.
This is my first real try at a SCrog and I know I fucked it up but still have some question to make the grow a success. I kept the mainstems tied down but not the branching coming of the mains. Well they have stretched 250% plus and the canopy has covered most lower growth. I could use a bit of advice!!!!
Day 30 of 12/12
Multi buds but I am wondering about the lower stem growth.
Should I be taking this lower growth off?
I am sure it would help the upper buds.

Oh, the reason the positioning of the plants in the photo don't match is I am on a Lazy Susan rotating screen that I can move along the tracks of the drain tray. Sure make it easier on this ol' body.
Guess since I let it get away I will just manage it as a run-a-way horizontal grow and start trimming those darn ol' bitches.
^^This too!!
This is what it looked like when I started 12/12Looking good in there! Pretty tight!!! Love your SCROG design btw!!

Pale leaves are a sign that the nutrients are being translocated. That's a good thing, and will give you smoother smoke (or at least the lore says so).
Your set up is very clean so good job bro. I think your doing things right but may want more advise from more experienced growers. I just had a question about what looks like a large sized humidifier in the back ground. Wonder if it is indeed a humidifier and what brand also if it is directly plumbed to a water source? Thanks in advance
Sorry my guy, Not a humidifier. It's just a small space heater that I use in the morning to helps get my temp up to 26C, Throughout the day the temp will drop gradually to 21C and once the light go off, the temp will drop to 19C. I do use a small Honeywell ultrasonic humidifier in the winter as things start getting really dry. The only word of caution I can offer in regards to the humidifier is use RO water. Otherwise if you have hard water, your walls and plants will get caked in Calcium/mineral dust.
