Quick update before goin into week 4 of veg. Last wartering i went a little heavy burnt some tips, but they seem to be doing ok. I water about once a week using 1/4 strength normally. Went 1/2 last feeding, i am using sensi a&b grow/ bloom. Botanicare SWeet grape. Ph. 6.5
alright been awhile guys time for an update. I went to local harware store and made a simple watering system. Fountain pump, and some 1/2", 1/4" drip line , and a tote.
awww, you should definitely stick around so we can see the harvest!! you'd have to get a mod on that. pm one of the forum mods if you really want it changed or gone.
it's hit or miss all the time with responses. ya gotta think there are thousands of people growing out there, hundreds of which are all on this site talking or other new people looking for help....just like growing these plants takes patience, so does waiting for replies some times
p.s. sorry can't help with the 12/12 or nothin, my first indoor grow, so I wouldnt be of much use to you except to tell you your plants look purdy
Yeah i was hoping for some more advice on indoor scrog, never done one. Thanks tho i will just keep posting till the end. 3 days into flower now so will see how it goes
when you get closer to the end is when I'm sure people will watch. it's what everyone likes to see. I'll be checking in, don't have anything better to do
Hey Hey Hey scrog don't get too hasty, the more you explore and comment the more likely you'll get those followers you are looking for. That usually happens during flower once the budporn comes, there are a lot of people just looking to see kush in flower
From what I saw from your 4/5 update the girls just reached the screen which is what you want since you can begin tucking in a week after they start growing above the screen. Now since you started flowering once they got to the screen traditional tucking is out of the question since that will cause a lot of stretching as they adjust themselves to face the light again. What I would do would be a simpler approach, I would spread the branches as much apart as you can without tucking, think of a light LST for them, this will allow the center nodes to grow over the net. This will keep the stretching down and spacing in between nodes will be more even resulting in bigger colas.
You want your scrog to be an even canopy, so if there's a branch or two racing up over the rest just tuck it. But after stretch the stretch is over I wouldn't tuck them or move branches.
I hope this helps and don't give up on this Journal. If you keep doing it and update it regularly more people will check it out
Thanks for the advice. Yeah i havent been weaving much, moving them over a square as they come up through. If they put on a good stretch the net will be pretty damn full hopefully.
Looks good man... don't get discouraged as others say... lots of people don't comment cause your having no problems or just like what was said.... wait till the end hehe. Again looks gooda.
I always have wondered since I haven't done a scrog setup yet.... do you unzip the sides of your tent to deal with all the back plants? and how bad is it to reach the middle ones?
Well with a 5x5 its not bad at all. Mine is difficult because my tent is in a small room with about a foot around it.. So unzipping and getting between tent and walls in a pain in the ass. Automatic water system is a must
So day 8 of flower and screen is looking more and more empty to me. Vegetation under screen is droopy and very unhealthy looking. Noticing almost no growth above screen in last 2 days. They have water. I cleaned out a bunch of water leaves and small growth from under the screen,planned to anyways . I placed a fan below screen hoping it was just a ventilation problem. My real concern is what im seeing above the net, not near as full as i hoped and stretch? Doesnt seem to be one
It has been a few years since i have done indoor, no real sign of pistols at the tops yet. I have only really grown sativa dom. Plants in the past, these genetics are supposed to be indica dom. So maybe this little stretch is normal? Anyways im in it now so all i can do is wait and see
