Hello all. Just want to get some opinions here. In all my years, this is the only time I decided to grow a single plant in a 3x3. It’s in a large 45gal container of living soil. I built a trellis net for it, and it just reached it two days ago, so no tuck and weaving yet. It was stunted in a 2gal pot, so transplanted it into this 45gal bed. It has been growing fast ever since. Here’s the last 14 days of growth since I transplanted it. So given the growth rate, how much longer do you think it should stay veging? I’m going for yield and I haven’t had anything flowering in a month, so getting trigger happy. But this is a hobby of patience, which I still didn’t acquire

Ideally when every square in the grid is full

That’s probably not going to happen, as I wasn’t planning on her being in this bed or in a trellis until recently, and only topped her once a few days ago when she was already quite tall, so not a lot of lateral branching. I mean I could supercrop it and twist it up like crazy, but I don’t know.

Can you lower it a bit if it’s just for support rather than the scrog effect maybe bud ?

Going for yield? I would Fim all possibe budsites now and wait 2 weeks.

Done, for the first part anyway

Tie the branching to the earthbox frame pulling it down, top center looking to level canopy. Make it wide… keep it level.
Pull all foliage under the trellis prior to flip.

It’s not an earthbox. Just felt and pvc. Only tie off points are corners.
You could let it veg another month imo, if you defoliate and fim it could yield way more filling out the tent with multiple colas

If you want to max out yield, lower the trellis and spread her out, all those lower branches will come up

I have scrogged many plants and in my trials and tribulations (being dramatic), the gold is lowering that grid and flattening the plant immediately. I used to run the screen higher too, it’s wasted space and leave enough room under the screen to water. I used to use “legs” for the net, but nowadays, I just zip tie the 4 corners to the poles and it’s modular if needed (and plenty strong still). I prefer mason line, it’s strong durable and cheap, and it doesn’t unravel all crazy on you like some “string” does.
To answer your original question, no that’s a huge amount of soil volume, you are looking at minimally 2 weeks, but I’m guess 3ish. I would flatten that momma immediately and start the training process, rather than waiting for it to reach the net. Nice work, currently running a wood scrog, but my original is still pvc that I use on occasion. Best of luck, she looks healthy.
