Something that large, I would do some serious defoiliation of the interior and lower branches to save trimming time and yield better colas. The lower fluffy buds get powder mildew once in flower. Good luck.

Thanks man, I keep the underside pretty cleaned up to allow for airflow and better colas. They are gonna get a major defol in about 3 weeks

No thanks on the 1000g lol. Imo at that point,unless you live or grow where the soil is absolute trash, you might aswell amend ground and go straight in. I used to grow inground but plants were bigger than i wanted switched to 100s and they are also boardering to big for my liking. Have 35s too not much difference than 100s so ive came to the personal opinion that 1000g pots is just getting into dick measuring territory

You're going to get lost in your jungle one of these days. They'll have to send search & rescue in to find you!

Seriously, amazing work. Reading back through your thread I see that you started these way early which explains the size. Of course you created a great soil mix and are taking super good care of them too, which certainly helps.

Curious about the "major defol" in 3 weeks. I thought it was best to stop pruning once flower begins so the plant can devote 100% of its energy to flowering instead of healing pruning wounds. Or are you just talking about plucking some interior leaves?

I was figuring on doing the last of my pruning this weekend.

Also, do you still water them 5g/day through flowering?

Personally myself I remove leaves that are blocking bud sites from getting sun, and everything that’s on the bottom I’ll even pluck away the inner ones to open it up it works for me, but everyone is different and has different styles and techniques Im also super lazy and don’t wanna do all the leaf removal lol

Thanks for the kind words friend. To answer your question I like to trim things up after flower has begun so I can see where all the buds are going to be, and take of any fan leaf in the way of those buds. Anything that won’t be getting light gets cut off too. Then I’ll hit them each with 10 gallons of bloom tea that I’ll make. And yes if it ever stops raining they will probably be closer to 7 gallons a day in flower.

But Jake you’re killing it man! You’re making me jealous and wanting to do outdoor Scrog next season! Thank you! You should try it if you can. Definitely high maintenance. Lots of tying down, pruning and supports,but I think the yield at the end will make all of this worth it!
