Closet Scrog Grow

Re: BPN Closet Scrog Grow

jakster i say its like racing fuel because my last grow i didn't use much nutrients so it just seems like everything is growing bigger faster to me this time around. and of course the extra lights are obviously making a difference.

Thinkker
Thanks for the love guys im pretty damn proud of myself right now, hope everything continues to go smooth, this PPP is quite a resilient plant as well, she needs to take most of the credit!

IF any one is thinking of buying seeds online, do not hesitate to order PPP from Nirvana seeds. Its such an easy plant to grow! Plus they are super cheap!! Its funny because people dog on nirvana for making junk strains, people say they cross everything with skunk or something like that to make the buds heavier or what not but in my opinion its great. I showed this bud to the biggest of pot snobs and they all thought it looked, smelled, tasted, and worked amazing. I didnt have one single person tell me they didn't love the smoke.

Re: BPN Closet Scrog Grow

Thanks man.

The scrog was a team effort. More of an improve gone totally perfect. The way we had to wedge the screen in there gave it a natural bend it is very sturdy. Im hoping we timed out the stretch correctly, seems to be looking good i cant wait to see what the buds looks like.

Going to defoliate in a few days. Also they will get some Benny Brew Tea tomorrow along with a feeding of BPN 3part Elite 'Bloom' Formula!

Thanks for checkin in stay tuned!

Re: BPN Closet Scrog Grow

CAUTION 'HIGH RESOLUTION BUD PORN BELOW!'

Plants are looking beautiful, really starting to fill in. Lots of Thrichrome production already.

I pruned some more today (Day 21/22) Cut alot of the little airy buds that were forming below the screen, also cut alot of fan leaves that were blocking light from getting to buds. Also trimmed off alot of dead foliage and fan leaves on bottom. I will prune again on day 45.

Temps jumped up a little bit, we got a bit of a warm spell in my area. humidity is between 20-75% so i turned the humidifier down to the lowest setting, set to run every other hour.

Will give them 1 cup of benny tea brew each tomorrow before the Regular watering (no nutes)

We have about less than a weeks worth left of BPN 3 Part Elite 'Bloom' Formula left then we will switch to 'Crazy Bloom'

A few bud sites were getting a bit of burn from the light so i raised up the lights all the way. Should be good now.

Well with out further a due here is some pics!

Good Close Up

Later

Re: BPN Closet Scrog Grow

your defoliation looks pretty good if you ask me, i wanted mine to look like that but just didnt have enough time/energy to do so. I have 4 plants to do it to and they are huge.

Dont be discouraged at your plants its your first grow you should be happy!

Re: BPN Closet Scrog Grow

actually i grew some grapefruit four years ago. Not a single problem not the biggest yield (1.5-2 zips didn't have a scale). Just have to wait and see now!

i ment you first grow in 4 years. lol.

Like i said some strains are better than others you might find you want to ditch the ww and find something else after this.

BTW Grapefruit sounds awesome, i wanna get me some femmed seeds!

Re: BPN Closet Scrog Grow

Bike I have to agree and disagree with ya here....

Agreed that some strains are better than others..
Disagree with the ditching of WW...

I grew it for years and got fatter colas then I do from the Sensi Star I'm growing now..
I'd consistently would pull buds 14" L and 8-10" round from WW, and then rock solid buds too...

Well i guess it depends on what breeder you are getting it from, he is using clones from a dispensary i assume, your WW might have been a better breed than his.

And i was just throwing out the idea of trying a new strain and if he liked the new strain to just go with that one.

teSmp or you could try some different WW clones if these ones dont produce like you want.

All is good mate

Re: BPN Closet Scrog Grow

i would love the convience of gettin clones from a disp. if i could. but for now i will just have to start from seed and maintain mothers, got 4 strains growing right now, thats like a mini dispensary.

Im thinking about making a RDWC PVC set up like Mr.Smith Made. Just to try it out.

Re: BPN Closet Scrog Grow

jakster what should i set my SCFH of CO2 per hour (Standard Cubic Feet per Hour) to when i get my regulator? it will be controlled by my EVC-2 but there is a small valve on the regulator that lets me set the SCFH between .5 and 15. , So what should it be at?

Re: BPN Closet Scrog Grow

looking good in here ilb i will try a scrog one day, got a few issues to work thru first, lol

 

[ilikebike]

Re: BPN Closet Scrog Grow

ok i used that calculator and got 1 scfh

Grow room area: 175 cubic feet
Amount of CO2 required: 0.2625 cubic feet
On time: 15.75 minutes

At this flow rate:
If you are using a 20 pound CO2 bottle with a regulator, it will last 174.8 hours.
If you have a CO2 Generator a 5 gallon propane tank will last 540 hours.

thanks for all your help again!

Re: BPN Closet Scrog Grow

Thanks for your gratitude!

The scrog plants are looking great, just saw them today. I have to say, now that i have a grow under my belt it seems like the time is passing by a little faster now. We are roughly on day 24 of flower so we have little over 1.5 months left.

Gave them each 1 cup of tea brew. Going to give them a double dose next week.

Raised the lights up as high as they will go, im pretty sure they are done stretching but a few bud sites were getting light burn so i angled them a bit and raised them. The CFL's are still right above the plant that is tucked inside.

Ambient temperature in my area is starting to increase so we are going to get the a/c going with in a month or so.

Waterd plants today with plain pH'd water. Humidity was at 23%, i misted them down with a bit of water, it was evaporated in 35 minutes.


I want to take some clones from my plants and try to re-veg them. Just for poops and giggles to see if it works!

Re: BPN Closet Scrog Grow

Small update

Saw the ladies tonight, looking fab. I notice a few colas with light burn thought, i think the Mylar was causing hot spots because it was kind of sagging and not tight against the wall, so i got that nice and flat, and i moved the lights up as high as they will go. Im pretty sure they stopped stretching so that should help.

Some of my colas do have light burn on the top, will it recover or will those top parts of the cola stay burnt and discolored?

Oh ya they got enough BPN 'Bloom" Nutrient Water for one more watering then will step up to the next formula.

Re: BPN Closet Scrog Grow

if i remember tomorrow i will take pics with the nice camera, those were cell phone pics just a mini update. IF i DO take pictures then i will try to take one with just the CFL's and natural day light
