I got the SCROG net in place, All is well as far as I can tell. Since it's been 4 weeks since she popped. At what point do I start to watch for signs of pre-flower?
That's why I asked about this pic. To me it looks like it's still just new growth, but my eyes aren't as good as they used to be. Can someone please help me out with IDing what is going on. Even blowing it up, I don't seem any white hairs so I'm pretty sure there's still time but...
Day 31...
Hi Mr Curmudgeon,
In the next couple of weeks you should start to see some flowers , little white hairs usually start to appear. I would think by week 6 definitely. It can feel like watching a kettle it take ages to boil lol.
Very healthy looking plants . Now I want to see them flower 😀 .
Any day now you should see something.
Best wishes

That's kinda what I was thinking too...and I am pacing the floor like an expectant dad waiting for those flowers to show up! 
I know the feeling .They will come when they ready . Not long now lol
The most nervous time for me is when I first start to germinate my seeds , will they pop and will survive the first week or two ?
😀
@curmudgeon definitely lol 🤣 but without being sent out for bounty bars .
When my wife was pregnant with number 2 she developed a need for them
Not sure if your in uk but just in case a bounty bar is a chocolate coconut confectionery
@hashimoto Nope, in the US but I've heard of Bounty Bars and I think we have them here. I know all about weird pregnancy cravings and having to run out to get them...I have 5 kids.
Day 32
Day 33...She's into pre-flower. Went in and spread everything out so light gets to as many sites as possible turned the light up to 645 PPFD. Probably do more this afternoon with tie-downs
Happy days mate ! There she blows lol
Looking good . Im not sure know how much experience you have growing so I don't want to tell you stuff you already know . Having said that it's a great idea to spread the branches out , it helps to get more light to the bud sites and also helps with air circulation around your buds
I have been enjoying the music you recommended really cool .
One of my fave musicians is John Martyn his album Solid Air is one of my favourites
Best wishes

Nice! Autos are so fast you don't want to blink. Keep in mind she will start to drink A LOT more in flower (at least they usually do). Also, if you are comfortable with managing it, you can turn that light up more to about 750-800 PPFD, but there is nothing wrong with keeping her at around 700. Cannabis loves light as long as they have a good environment (air circulation, water, nutrients, temp).
@im_sparky Temp is still a bit of a struggle, but not terrible. With the increase in PPFD, I'm going to need to move the seedling. Unless you have a suggestion for muting her light or think the much higher PPFD won't really have a damaging effect.
@curmudgeon Just to make sure I understand, you have a seedling in with this scrogged plant? If so, I am just wondering about where you are going to put the seedling as your canopy fills out
I know people differ on this but Dr. Bugbee clearly states that in his lab they start seedlings at max PPFD of 1200 and keep them there (under ideal conditions, with CO2 and so on, which is why I suggested maxing out at only 800 PPFD). Others say never put a seedling under that intense of a light, but I crank my PPFD on seedlings and don't have issues. My advice though, just out of an abundance of caution, would be to gradually increase the light a little each day (maybe 50 ppfd) and not just crank it up all at once, and to make sure you are not exceeding 800 PPFD in any hot-spots, like the center of the light. Remember, light is one of the main sources of energy for plants.
Full disclosure: if the plant is lacking in nutrition or water, then high light can lead to crashing and burning. Just so you are not overly concerned, you really have to start to pay attention when your light gets over 1000 ppfd, and must start CO2 or they will suffocate. If you have an accurate reading of a max of 800, you should be fine. YMMV.

Yes, but I have another small (30x18x36) I just set up. Original plan was as a propagation/dry/cure tent. I got a cheap Phlizon 600W Blurple light in there and a 4" fan coming. I'm going to put her in that until I p/u and setup a 3x3x6 setup I'm picking up in two days. That is a complete setup with light and fan also.
which is why I suggested maxing out at only 800 PPFD
It's at around at 645 now and I was planning to bump it to 750 over the next few days...
It's good to read that I should be OK with the current level with the seedling. It gives me a bit more time to figure out who is going where and what seeds to pop next. I was considering a couple of options, like a micro-grow in the little tent and letting the seedling go nuts in the 3x3...if she remains as vigorous as she seems to be right now.
Oh, and "they drink more?" Yeah...No S***! Had her wilting on me last night before I went to bed. gave her a 1/2 liter of water then, bottom feed was dry come mid-morning today. Just gave hera full liter with 25% solution of the FF liquid nutes. (Grow Big, Big Bloom, and Tiger Bloom)

Sounds like you've been bitten by the bug already! 🤣 😆 🤣
Day 34...
Autos are so fast you don't want to blink
I'll just leave this right here (as compared to yesterday - see above)
Day 34 update, Sticky is all by her lonesome in the tent now and I did a bit more LST
Day 35...I think she likes the increase in space!
Day 36...A little LST this morning, all seems to be going great as far as my inexperienced self can see.
And a couple more after I did even more work on her...I think I'm learning a thing or two.
