[Growguy420]

Sup 420!!This is my first time seriously posting something on here. Im ALWAYS on here for advice or when i bored ill come on here and snoop around. So its my 2nd grow and I really wanted to try a scrog. I finally got the right adapter piece for my reflector to hook up to my ballast so that should really help out for this scrog. I'm currently running 9 plants under 500 watt hps they are about 4 weeks old. I transplanted them into their last pots (10 gal)about 3 days ago so i have yet to add any nutes, but i plan to start with 1/4 strength in a day or two. This grow will be full organic soil+nutes. I post some pictures of my setup in the next posts.

I'm growing 7 different strains : Tahoe og kush, girl scout cookies, 2x Skywalker OG Kush, Holy Grail Kush, Chocolope Kush, 2x 818 Headband, and Buddha Tahoe OG.

If in Veg... For how long? 4 Weeks
Indoor or outdoor? Indoor

OK so I topped all of them today. I plan to do it again to each of the top two nodes in about a week then possibly one more round depending on height and bushiness.

I have yet to use any nutes yet I figured my soil will do fine for now. Lemme know what you think or any advice would be helpful =)

 

[Growguy420]

What's good 420 peeps! SO quick little update here. I've done another round of topping and also added nutes 1/2 strength. Pretty pumped about finally getting to use all 1000 watts of the light without blowing a fuse. Im excited to see the difference in bud production. AHHH to the pictures

Quick question about this, if anyone knows whats up with these spots?

 

[Growguy420]

Heres a better shot of the spots on one of the fan leaves of the Holy Grail Kush.

 

[Growguy420]

Big ASS fan leaf!

those spots could be slight nute burn or splash on the leaves with nutes in the water, it doesnt look too serious and btw your plants are looking great

Hey frostyMJbudEC, thanks for stopping by with the info and complement! Much appreciated.

Net is up! Now just needs to fill out...

 

[KingJohnC]

you want to tuck and weave the tops of your plants through the screen until it is 60% filled then switch to flowering.

 

[Growguy420]

Sup Everyone! SO All the girls were feed today with 20ml per Gal of Roots Organic Buddha Grow. I Have also added some super-cropping technique. The goal of this is to position the branches in the direction you want them to grow i.e. filling out your scrog net. Here are some more pics!

 

[Growguy420]

Quick update Day 60 veg. I'm going to be doing another round of topping today maybe a little more super cropping. Still haven't really taken ANY fan leaves off yet (just a couple that fell off from trying to tuck them). Haven't really decided on if I will lollipop or not I know that it will focus more on the top bud sites if I do but I also have some light I could use under the scrog net for the buds that dont make it past the net. Not really sure which would be more beneficial...lemme know what you think

pics soon

Nice plants going Growguy420 I like the scrog setup too
In the pictures I see topping and what looks like LST instead of supercropping,I lst and think its better method with less stress on plant. How I see supercropping is pratically 90` bends in the direction you fold em.The plant does have to repair that spot slowing growth some.
Ive never scrogged yet,I seem to get a lot of toppers in canopy with lst and minimal topping fairly fast in organic soil.I have supercroped when stretch is on after flip and some branches ran too tall and couldnt be tied down right, It had produced nice buds doing it early in flower.Anyways blah blah blah I didnt think supercropping for you now was best and thats just my 2cents Bro

 

[closetorganic]

more blah blah again that I havent done either is defoiliation in veg that I have seen here happening that I think would help you better than supercropping too

Hey Closerorganic thanks for the info and for stopping by you're just in time for some pics

Your scrog is up too high buddy. In a tent you are restricted for space so its best to keep them short and bushy.
You would be flipping so much sooner if you had it lower.
