Thats suppose to say AMAZED up there.....oops

So i have to tell ya..... The gG4 she never disappoints when it comes to the STRETCH these plants had me worried.... worried that i had been to aggressive training them to the trellis, i was afraid they wouldn't be tall enough to fill in and give me the weight I DO SO TRULY DESIRE 2.0 LB's!!! I thought i was out of the race, so i didn't even look in yesterday, not wanting to see failure or another missed GOAL! I spent a lot of time with them the other day and they were only 4 inches off the trellis.............. But she never disappoints does she.........and it took me a while to realise as i stood with the door open........ wow Holy Fuck...... Im still in this race....

and i may just make that 2.0 GOAL the tallest was at 18 inches, the average growth across the canopy was 12 inches in 48 hours. I measure 8 different points on the scrog to determine the average height gains....

this is a sinker tied to some string, the distance between the bulb and the end of the sinker is 36 inches.

Looking very good. You're around day 21 of flower aren't you? Are you planning on doing any defoliating to open up the canopy for better air flow and light exposure directly to the buds? I defoliated mine but I'm scared I stripped them too much, I have my fingers crossed.

Looks like i'm going to have to do some trimming its so thick.... But i need some advice on how to go about that and not take too many fan's out.... Some pictures would be great.... directions or what ever..... this is not a problem i have researched...... or experienced

just grab a 5 gallon bucket & start lopping off fan leaves ...... its pretty simple really . once you get into it , you'll know when & where to stop . just do it over the course of a few days , don't take to much all at once . maybe a buckets full a day .

can you get to the back of that net aspen ? i think you said you could . work from the middle out , the middle is the thickest spot in that canopy . the edges aren't so bad .
once thats done , thats when the second net should be applied to hold up the branches as they get fat , especially if they're 18" long on some of them . put the net in around a foot up from the other one .

This is fairly informative, long read.

"Defoliation during flowering for greater yields!"

I do minor defo during veg, the first few days of flower and then at day 20/21 will be a bit more aggressive.
When I am doing a vertical grow I do some major defo.



I try doing this in stages, not all at once, as it does slow down recovery if you over do it.

Good luck and I really enjoy what you have going on.

Here is what I did, I am not advocating that you do this but rather just showing you what I did. This is my first grow so I have absolutely nothing previous to compare to. Not sure if I went overboard or not I guess time will tell.

Edit: my trellis by the way is 4.5 feet by 4.5 feet ID.

Pic 1 = side view flower day 20 pre defoliating

Pic 2 = day 20 after defoliating

Pic 3 = day 28 plants seem to be doing fine.

Pic 4 = day 28 light stressed tops I mentioned in an earlier post.

Pic 5 = day 28 frost.

but i left alot more budsites under the net this time than i did last run , because theres plenty of light getting through the canopy & i had cut off alot of good budsites on the last run that could have given me alot more bud .
