Thanks for the responses! I was thinking that I would just take a few fan leaves here and there, but going lightly. I will see how it goes.

Definitely realizing that I tried to cram too many plants under the space I have. The wife is telling me this is my last grow already, so I wanted to maximize yield. I'm hoping I can convince her for another run at it...this is too much fun.

what's good scroggers? I need a little advice. it's my first grow.. world of seeds strawberry blue and, 2 delicious seeds cotton candy. I had some problems early on with overwatering and an n deficiency, I think. they all seemed shorter than they should be. I got them back on track now and they have been fimmed and lst'd and are quite bushy and green after an 8 wk veg. I'd planned to scrog but, didn't go forward because I didn't expect them to bounce back as well as the did (especially the sb). I'd like to throw them under screen now as I'm just putting them into flower and expect they will fill the screen with the stretch. problem is I have to go away for 5 days and my lady (who is pretty supportive by the way) wont be tucking the growth back under the screen. do you think there will be a problem with trying to tuck them under after 5 days of growth? my design will allow for raising of the screen. both strains seem pliable. if it turns out to be problematic I guess a trellis would be beneficial.

Depends on the genetics bro 5 days shouldn't make a huge difference but some branches may be hard to bend but you should be fine. Hopefully they don't stretch too far on you in 5 days. That's the thing about scrog if you don't know how it's gonna stretch its hard to judge anything. Good luck

Just wanted to share my setup I ran in 2013. It is a 4x11' part of fencing that I places 6" from the back wall and let the plants grow to the wall and around the front so about 5x11' scrogI ran 2 1kw lights primarily and a 600w in the middle for a little extra. new setup has 3 1kw lights over the same area and no scrog screen.. this grow was flipped to flower too early as I didnt get any stretch but I adjusted for it in grows after with great results

Well... day 76 from seed and 61 days into veg. Going to flip soon. Hoping for a good bit of stretch to fill the screens up a bit more. I have two dimable 1000w HIDs that and two Solar storm 440s for flower...

Hey scroggers, this is my first go at a scrog, should I flip to 12/12 right now?

Don't know if anyone answered you here. Looks like it's an indica dom, though I'm not familiar with Sage & Sour. If you haven't, it's probably about time for you to flip now, or early next week and keep tucking for a couple weeks. If you've flipped already, you might not fill it out completely, but you'll still be surprised. Don't be too quick to start stripping growth below the screen until you see what she does through the stretch period.

Thanks for replying! I flipped her last Saturday, first pistils on Wednesday

Keep tucking the growth down at the screen until somewhere around day 18-21, so you keep taking advantage of your light footprint. That is, of course, a generalization - you want them to finish a few inches above the screen, so as it gets closer to day 21, if you can't reposition a branch such that a little of the top is still above the screen for a couple inches, don't tuck it. You will get a feeling for this. You got any more CFLs to distribute around through flowering? Another bendy lamp by chance?

I have several clip-on cfl lamps that I could use but I'd have to fashion a way for them to be high enough... I kinda rushed the building of the screen and so it's a bit fragile on its legs. It'll be tricky to position the lights around it. I'll get on that this weekend.

Thanks for the advice it's much appreciated! I read a lot before doing this but it's nice to have some help throughout.
