Lights were on by the time i got to the BGB #1's , but i got a couple whole plant pics .

BGB #1 day 65 chopped , branches so heavy that when i took the net off 2 of the plants just flopped over into the tray lol , the one in the pic had a few stakes in it to hold it up so i could get pics , there were 3 #1 pheno plants in the back .

Great work Dan, really nice.

Would you mind if I asked you how much you get off 1 plant in the scrog?, also what size light?

Your grows are always on spot on.

i won't know what these weigh out untill they're dried & bagged , but i know they won't yield up to my usual weights because it was a first run from seed to see structure , branching & bud size etc .... once i get to know them after the first run , i can top or train them to yield better in my set up . none of these even broke through my nets & had to be staked half way through . so i know they need more veg time & pheno #1 will need more topping for more main branches because of the lack of branching on the first run ..... smoke test will tell me which one or if they're even kept .

bobo .... i have 3 lights over a 4 x 8 area , they're 1000 watters but i run them max at 750 because at 1000 watts its actually to intense on the plant tops , all summer they've been on 600 . i try to get 4 to 8 ozs per plant . most times i get 4 to 6 per plant . i have hieght restrictions here which is a major factor , if i had more head room I ccould veg them bigger & longer for more tops . i set this up to do 9 plants per tray ..... but because i have so many mothers & no room to keep them , half my veg area is loaded with moms , so i'm restricted to 12 plants total in veg . 6 per tray .

this will give ya an idea of what i'm working with , theres a set up like this on each side of the room . its perpetual one side every 5 weeks .

Dan you said you have height restrictions. If you don't mind me asking what is the distance from the bottom of your tray to the glass of your light. I also have height restrictions 69" from bottom of tray to glass of my light. Also Dan do you notice any difference in tightness of the bud between 600 and 750 watts.

77" from floor to cieling , knock off a foot for the lights & mounting hardware , gives me 65" from glass to floor , 10" for the tray & pots off the floor gives me 55" from the tops of the pots to the lense on my lights , i veg till they're 24" off the floor & my nets are set at 36" . that gives me 29" from net to the lenses for buds ..... & i can never keep them short enough , even with supercropping or tucking branches , they alway wind up to close to the lights , so 750 is Max i can do without more ceiling height !

& oh yeah you can see & feel the difference with the stronger light ! Come'on winter !!!!

I understand exactly dan, have you not thought about adding more mesh right below the mark they start to burn. Maybe 6". Might help. IMO. Just an idea. I know I have many more years to learn what you all have in those vaults you call brains. Ha
Looking great by the way! Mine are starting to add some weight, looking great

yeah i've though about a second tier on the nets , so i can tuck them better if they do stretch to much , but i'd have to take everything apart & get different corner fittings .
especially when they over stretch like this run has . they're not easy to tuck without snapping branches because thier so rigid & i don't want to slow down the budset by supercropping , so i'm just going to run them as is & use yoyo's if i have to later .

same plants from my last pic in here , just at week 3 after the stretch is over & the lowers stripped .

My Bx4 plants.
Gave them a FIM and put them in the flower room . Ill let them veg for another five- seven days or so before I flip them.
Most show a heavy bubble influence but a couple have somewhat thinner leaves with some twists to them.
Are the twisty leaves a GG4 trait?

All my girls have flower sites all over now.
Got clones transferred to recirculating perlite tubs and they are proving to be a lot more vigorous as clones. I'm sure switching to hydro helps too.
Hoping they fill in the screens a lot over the next couple weeks.
Still really interested in the sour bubble leaner. She hasn't stretched one bit but is filling in the screen fast.
Looking forward to running the clones in ppk set up.
