Scrog net about 70% full, things getting interesting

Week 6 of veg and the net is sitting right around 70% coverage right now. Running a 60x60cm frame at about 28cm above the canopy, started tucking at week 3. The two Lemon Shiver plants i have under it are filling in from the outside edges toward the center faster than i expected, which usually means the lower bending work early on paid off. The main thing i'm watching is the center of the net. Got maybe 6 or 7 shoots that still need another week of tucking before they reach their assigned squares. I try not to force it, just redirect every couple days and let the plant do the growing. Forcing a shoot across two squares at once just stresses the junction point and you get weird growth angles later in flower. Defoliated pretty hard around day 38, pulled anything below the net that wasn't going to make canopy. Airflow under the net is clean now and i can see all the main stems clearly. That visibility matters a lot once you flip, because you want to be able to read the structure without digging through a jungle. Probably flipping to 12/12 in 10 to 14 days depending on how that center fills. Want 80 to 85 percent before i commit. Post a pic if you're running a scrog right now, would be good to compare canopy structure at similar stages.

The defoliation for airflow underneath the net is on point too. Clean visibility of the main stems will make post-flip management much easier. I’ve been running some The Seed Pharm autos lately with lighter training in a small tent and they’ve been responding great. If you’re looking to add more genetics after this run, they’ve got the BOGOAUTO code active right now which makes stocking up pretty easy
