its not a stupid question. but your answer may depend on the genetics, and how much stretch will occur.

Ooooo, yea mate, you waited way too long. There's no way you'll fit all the foliage that's gonna grow during stretch into that screen. Usually its wise to pull the switch when the screen is 50-60% full, not 80-90% full, haha!
What breeds you run and stuff do make a difference, plants stretch out more in some situations than others, but given that my ScrOG plants did this:
...during their first 9 days of flower you are gonna have yourself some issues. You're going to have to remove some choice fan leaves and top colas as the growth gets out of control. You'll have to keep a sharp eye out for mold and rot later on as that screen is gonna be chock full of growth. Good luck soldier, I'm afraid you're gonna need it!

Dont switch to bloom nutes until you are approximately two weeks into 12/12. Dont let everyone freak you out man you can still pull this off no sweat. If it were me I would indeed switch to 12/12 and do alot of selective trimming. Keep what looks like good strong 'tops' and trim up a bunch of side shoots and other branches that appear to be smaller/weaker. Most people switch when the screen is 60-70% full. Dont sweat it this is how we all must learn. Be sure and trim ALOT of the growth below the screen as this stuff wont be receiving light anyway and will only rob the plant of nutrients and energy. PM me if you have any other questions bro. Peace
Cheers mate,for good advice and morale
I have allready cut some of the leaves and will do more trimming tommorow.I was aiming to 80-90% full screen and i have overshooted it Thank you very much mate

Hey SVK, your plants look really healthy so far! I agree with the others, a good trim job would do them good. How much space are you working with?
I am also using a PC, I've got 3 23w bulbs but don't have a lot of space so I was thinking about doing a scrog.
Keep us updated bro, would like to see how this turns out for ya

Don't worry... use the trimming to your advantage and take clones!
My clone/veg case isn't ready
Thanks
Greetings from NI to England

Haven't got a thermometer yet to check temps but they don't seem that high tbh because of the fans. Not too sure but I think intake is 120cfm and exhaust is 80cfm. Might change the exhaust eventually as I want to make my own mini scrubber and the pull on it just isn't enough.
Take a look at my thread if you get a chance, oh and good luck!

i would flip them and keep a scythe handy
if you can control the nitrogen then keep that down. fwiw i would say you are much better off over-vegging than under-vegging. depending on the height you have it may be worh tucking the dominant tops under the screen for a week or so after you flip. dont be scared to take some weaker buds off to make room for the stronger ones. i tend to remove whole buds rather than just loads of leaves. you cant get two buds to grow in the same space. steep learning curve ahead, but you are likely to get plenty of buds at the end of it
good luck

yup id flip looking at that picture.
I'd flip (I think you get the point now) except I'd give them flower nutes straight away to control the stretch.
Thanks for advice but i will wait till saturday-monday with flower nutes.
thank you
