Hey, dude, I see you working there. A ScroG is a fantastic way to increase your yield if you do it right. Your plants don't look bad at all, but there are some things you can do differently and get much better results. For instance, since you're ScroGing, you're going for yield, so vegging your plant longer will do wonders. A mature plant will stretch much less when switched to 12/12. Also, if you step down from 24/0 to 18/6 and then to 12/12 (or just 18/6 to 12/12) your plants will stretch a lot less. When you ScroG, you want to fill about 75% of the screen before you switch to 12/12. After switch to 12/12, keep tucking the branches until you run out of space on your screen. Even if the plants begin to bud, keep tucking them and keep the tops as level as you can.
A good technique for this would be to start when your plant has only 3 nodes as a seedling. Top it and fold the tops apart and tie them down. As it grows, continue to tie it down so it will grow outward, horizontally. When the other branches start to show, tie them down to grow perpendicular to the stalks. Continue to defoliate everything except for the very tops (which means the top 3 sets of leaves. The top 6 leaves). Once all the branches have reached the edge of the pot, let it grow upward. When it is time to transplant, cut all the ties, transplant it and tie it down to the new pot,and cease defoliation. Measure your ScroG 8" above the soil. When the plant reaches 10" move it under the ScroG and put all the tops into the middle of the screen. As they grow upward, tuck the tops. My method is, I train the to grow in a tight spiral, filling the entire screen evenly. Also, I don't weave the branches in and out of the screen, I tuck them so that they grow under the screen. And I tuck my tops as soon as a node reaches the screen. At 70%, I switch to 12/12 and continue to tuck. At about the 4th week of flowering, or when the screen is full, I stop tucking the tops. Two weeks before I switch to 12/12, I defoliate everything under the ScroG and clone every branch. 2 weeks is plenty of time for cuttings to take root, so the day I switch to 12/12, I'll move all my clones into flower. The longer you veg your clones, the better they will yield, but they will yield about an ounce each just as they are if you do it right. Waiting will also divide your harvest time so you don't have to do it all on 1 day. Your plants are looking good, man. Dial in that ScroG and you've got something there
I am impressed at the pistil production. That is a LOT of pistils. What strain am I looking at?
