She's pretty much naked up top so lower sites can get light. PH doesn't go any higher than 5.9 and no lower than 5.7 and that's without adjusting it. TDS is 720 and rez temp is 70. She's going to have to recoup after all the leaves I removed, but it'll be worth it in the end. 37 days old.

wow now thats a through thinning job!hope it pays off for ya
i got myself a guardian couple days ago. so far im loving it. 99% sure ill be getting 2 more.
The key with taking so many leaves off in veg is to give the plant enough time to come back from it. And I told you you'd love it!

She's starting to pick up speed again. I'm thinking I might have to do more thinning again here soon to keep new nodes exposed. I also have a second screen to go on top of this one just in case. I learned about that from my last grow the hard way. Also I just switched from my cfl panel to my MH. I haven't used a MH for veg in years. Also I'm foliar feeding her.
How tall would you say you expect that plant to be at its highest ? Or how high do you like to grow them vertically when you do ?
Thanks for your input !! Really appreciated

I don't want it to get more than a foot tall. 8 inches is what I really want to keep it at considering I'm working with a tight space.

Question.. in the very first pic you put up your plant look really stout & bushy is that b/c the strain your running is either pure or very indica dominant. Or is it just a really great clone or both? Also I am working with a space even smaller than yours. Mine is 24inL x 18inW x 30inT. It's one of those littler prefab superbox cabs by supercloset co. Scrog also, I have a thread o it called small cfl scrog liberty haze. Anyways should I be vegging less than a month b/c my shit is always getting out of control an unmanagable.

I start my plants off under T5's and I put the lights as close as possible. And since I'm inside in a small space I only grow strains that are pure Indica or Indica dominant to avoid the trouble I'd have with something that decided to be Sativa dominant. All my grows are done from seed. As far as veg time goes 3 weeks for a clone is sufficient, but with one done from seed the earliest I have switched to flower was with a 28 day veg period and the plant finished around 30 inches tall and that was a Indica dominant strain. One thing to remember is that a plant will only start to flower when it is mature. Also you might want to consider putting a second screen on top to help control things. It'll help in the long run. I needed one on my last grow but didn't have it. It's all about how you train it in veg. Don't be afraid to take some fan leaves off that block light to potential bud sites that can produce.
My net is always there I let the plant grow into it. I have it set at a height that gives me enough space to work around under the net and when she reaches it that's when the training starts. I start flowering when my net is about out of space and the middle has filled in. You should really start when your net is about 50% full cause stretch will fill the rest. Do it that way until you get a feel for the scrog method and keep it as simple as possible. We learn more as we grow and make some mistakes. I know I have. When I'm using HID lights I just stick my hand right on top of my plant and if the top of my hand can take it my plant can.
I hope I answered your questions and if not just tell me about which details you're not clear on.

I'm familiar with all the methods and steps you speek of. The mistake I made was waiting to put the screen in, but overall the biggest mistake was not getting a purely indica strain. I am running liberty haze which barneys farm advertises as more indica. But of course once its under the lights its its a way sativa pheno and I have a couple that shot up like the second picture I showed you. Thank you very much for the help. I'll be following this grow.mine is right at a month away from harvest so we'll see. Thx again

Those 2 mistakes there inside are enough to get a mans blood pressure up for sure! Take what you know from this one and improve. I never was any good with the chicken wire I found that nets with 2 to 3 inch squares work better for me. You might want to try that. Also pvc pipe is great for making an adjustable frame.
