First time grow. I’m about a week and a half from flipping to flower. I hope I did this right?

Thank you. Hopefully the second time around won’t be so bad. Can’t wait to see them start to flower.

It’s been 6 1/2 weeks. Looking to do 8 weeks for my veg cycle. I’m using 5 gal fabric. I had a bad start with my environment before I bought this one and didn’t know what to do with run off. It was a mess but they bounced back nicely. Random seeds I had held on to.

Thanks. There is about 40”-42” above the canopy. I have my light set to 24” from the top. It‘s a 48x24x72 tent.

I understand that. It hurt when I cut all my bottom growth out. I thought ok that's enough ..nope. It just grew back faster. :)

After all the homework I’ve done I know I’m going to have to do it again at least once maybe twice in flower. Looking forward to the next couple of weeks during the whole transition.

You should think about getting some stakes that trellis net squares are pretty wide. I think I got a 50pack of 5ft ones and cut them in half with bolt cutters lol. I love stakes now

I did notice that but didn’t think anything of it. Someone was telling me earlier on not to put it as scrog but use it for support. I do have some stakes and will definitely tie some in. I’ve already ordered another trellis net.

Sounds good. You can put the stakes in during flower if needed no rush. Once the roots are established it holds the stake better.

Cool. I was going to try and tie it to the side of the pot. Didn’t know if I could slide anything in there.
