Really nice grow. I remove leaf and don't hesitate at all at anytime. With a scrog it's almost impossible to not remove leaf. Your really kicking arse on this. All your plants look great. Onward to harvest soon.
New journey!

Thanks dude ! Removing leaves is must yea! But since I'm growing the same strain for 3rd time I want to let some more leaves this time so I can see how it works better. Rh is kicking my ass though. Going to defoliate some more this weekend
Day 41. Ppfd 800+-. Temp lights on 78F lights off 70-72f. Humidity finally dropped 50-55%. Some cal mag deficiency appeared, I will give them some next watering. Waiting for my day off to defoliate them and rearrange lights distance for 900ppfd. 6 weeks to go. Smells lemony and skunk . Girls already need support, they are too tall. Moved my scrog up a little for some more balance. I will post some night photos too when lights off

Lookin squatchy in there. Bigfoot grows rock. Love seeing a successful busy garden.
6 Weeks veg was a lot I think , wish I had less side branches, using the same strain but different breeder. The other one was shorter but that lemon skunk red pepper smell demn.. I hope this one will give something good too. Heavier yielder 100%
Nice canopy. Whatever your doing is working great. Vpd....ya know years ago maybe in the early 2000s no body knew what that was. When I first started back growing I came across VPD and thought it made sense. So I tried to keep my levels withing the chart.
Fast forward to this grow. I've been vegging and some will be 6+ weeks old before they head into Flower My rh has been on average maybe 30% in that grow space. Way off the vpd chart. I see no ill effects so I've kinda put the whole VPD thing to rest. One less thing to monitor or worry about..lol. It's a good thing to know but i don't think it needs to be followed religiously.
To add to that. I did a greenhouse grow few yrs back. Alabama hot, humidity off the chain. Daily temps over 100 and humidity the same. Vpd?????? Lol. All I did was move air and keep them hydrated. It's amazing in what conditions cannabis will grow and grow well.

It was a productive grow but way to much work. I'll not do that again.Daaamn they are looking so healthy
100? Got 86F few weeks ago and 3 of my girls threw ballsinsta death .
So ya think the heat flipped them?
All 3 of them were the tallest ones , it was a combination of light stress and heat stress. My grow room is kinda weird, got 3x 450w leds and 1 600w hps that messing everything up. Going to buy one more led after this grow for sure
Day 45 . 
4-5 weeks to go. Few of my girls looking like they are close to harvest for some reason. Others looking great and there is one that foxtailed but isn't she beautiful?? I think I'm done with pure sativas... it's really challenging to keep em healthy for so long.. trichrome production like last harvest is just ok . This strain goes hard after week 7, around week 8 thc goes wild.

Looking nice 
Week 7 almost over 
lots of mistakes on this run.. bad waterings, fked up a little with feeding too. Scrogs looking full but plants grew up more than 2 feet above it. My lolipop failed hard too, there are a lot of popcorn buds under the scrog . I had to put 2 plants on 20l pots per scrog to make it more manageable, not 4 like I did.. they trippled in size when flower hit. Going to start overdrive nutr in few days too , I think it's time . 4 to 5 weeks left (breeder says 12 full weeks)

. We live and learn.
So ya missed the window on the scrog. No big deal. You've got a nice green frosty forest in there. Nice job.

I use a 4'X4' chunk of 2"X4" 9 gauge hog pen for my scrog. Nothing gets out 'til I let it. After they grow at least a foot above, I trim everything below the screen. I only trim the big fan leaves if they're blocking the light from the buds. I figured the big leaves are a solar panel for the plant. I'm sure others do different, but that's the way I do it.
You Trim everything below while in flower ? I'm so scared to lolipop while in flower ...
@Hippie420 Everyone has their own version of using a screen. There is no wrong way but there are ways to improve. As ya watch my Scrog over on my thread you'll find I don't let much any growth above the screen until I am sure the stretch is nearing the end. At or near the end week 2.5-3 there will be a flat screen with all of the plant pulled under. It's at that point I leave them alone to finish.
@ilv911 I trim below twice during a scrog grow. A little early in flower and again once it finishes the stretch. I remove leaf as needed and think nothing of it. Removing a main site is unnecessary with a scrog. I use the main to guide the plant along the screen where I want her. I stress the hell outta my plants and rarely does it have ill effect.
Right now I have the big tent going too. They are all in week 1 and I'm bending, twisting, and removing leaf. I'm really cranking on the main on them. Attached a long spike to the main and use it to keep them bent. Every few days I reposition the stake and adjust them down level with the other growth. May sound like a lot to throw at a flowering plant but if these were under a screen they'd be getting the same stresses.

Sounds like a plan to me !since I know that this strain is stretching lot I will flip to flower when 50-60% of scrog is full so I can bend them until week 2 maybe, I like some height.. just not this mess I got this time
Day 54. Smell changed a lot. They used to smell just lemony with some skunk. Now they've got a strong skunk smell mixed with lemons and oranges or sweet lemons I don't know they won't go for full 12 weeks I believe. They will be ready around day 77 maximum 80. Got an amazing pheno that I really want to reveg and take clones of it , called monster crop of smth I think but can you take clones like this ? I don't know .
