i plant them in the big pots with the screen on. when you flip them depends on how much the strain stretches (which is a tough call if its the first time you've grown it !). i was quite lucky this time because i had to flip them all on the same day and luckily they all ended up about right. the NL didnt quite fill the screen and the MMG (mostly sativa) perhaps stretched a little too much, but being able to adjust the heights of individual plants/screens is very useful.
as a rule of thumb i would say sativas flip when they reach the screen and use the stretch to fill it, and indicas half to mostly fill the screen before flip.
at present i am looking for my keepers and want to flower as many different strains as possible. i may not be quite so lucky with all the plants but yield isnt really that important to me (only for pride
so if they dont always fill the screens then so be it.if you have time to kill before you can start your new cab (i think you said this earlier) then it is worthwhile really thinking through your plans and getting your ideas nailed down. i spent a long time planning this cab and although i said ive been lucky, some of it is down to good planning too i hope!
morg - thanks - your loft grow was a real inspiration to me when i was in the planning stages.

ive put the 4 Maple Leaf Indica in the gap from the northern lights harvest - hopefully they will show sex soon . if i get more than 1 female i may have to grow 2 in 1 pot.
the other three up next in the cab i think are -
Arjan's haze 3
blueberry
NL again
ive cloned the cheese and need to veg it up for a while before i can run it. thats the one i really want to do next but i must be patient. i kept my gifted clone for the mother plant.
stay safe
