That’s interesting on the ph impact. I happen to have an air pump and stones in an Autopot kit I never used. That could be an interesting experiment (even in my 3 small reservoirs) except I can’t get the plants off the water reservoirs due to the scrog net. This is where I think...

Let’s see how 4 more days of growth looks. Today is the start of week 2 of 12/12 lighting. No budlets showing up yet, but I am starting to see a little stretch. They are drinking/evaporating over 1/3 gallon per plant per day. As far as the self-feeding planter bases, I feel like the wicks...

Unfortunately, I don’t recall the timing for that grow. I believe I ran them 20-30 minutes in the morning and 20-30 minutes in the evening. It was too much I.R. I’m currently cycling them for 2 minutes once per hour (during daytime hours only) and not seeing any extraordinary stretch.

Just a few quick glamour shots of the first week of flower. My ph and ppm are climbing in the reservoirs which tells me that my plants are drinking more than they are eating. Diluted reservoir with RO water and added some nutrients too. Weekly sheet attached. While my 1.3 gallon reservoirs...

Today is officially Day 1 of flower. Changed all timing to 12/12 on lighting yesterday. LED is 18” above the plants and now cranked on full blast. Checked the Daily Light Integral at 12 hours/day and I’m getting a reading around 30. I will likely need to lower the lamp in week 3-5 to...

Thank you. I’m following….this sounds like crazy science.

Probably a dumb question, but what is “STS”?

Hi Greenscreen. I’m sorry to hear that you are having a difficult time. I deal with Bipolar disorder which is just a fancy name for manic depression. I’m either manic and feeling good (and sometimes too good where I’m omnipotent) and other times I’m deeply depressed. I’m also experiencing...

Thank you for the scrog guidance!! This could get crowded quickly, so Im changing over to 12-hours effective today. Let the stretch begin…..

Well, it’s time for some clarification on scrogging as I’m very inexperienced with this technique. I’ve been aggressively bending branches and my first screen is quickly filling in. I’m supercropping a few branches to cover the open holes in the scrog net. I’m questioning if it’s almost time...

A Quick Look at the scrog screen…..still plenty of room to go but it’s filling quickly. Hoping to flip in two weeks so I need to be patient. Last night they received a foliar feeding with CalMag and seaweed extract. Today….. I defoliated more below the screen and I removed some inward facing...

I’m probably wrong here, but I’m hoping to understand why there is any need to cure for tincture at all. I would assume you could decarb fresh weed, make tincture, and have a final product that is barely different (maybe slightly more chlorophyll taste)….but probably equally potent to using...

Thanks Greenmobster! If you think I hit a point where it’s time to flip to flower, please don’t hold back. I think it will be two more weeks…..and I will follow your advice and use 2 nets.

I was able to adjust the net and get the plant on the far right spread out under the net finally. I just needed a little more branch length to reach to far holes in the scrog net. I am planning two more weeks of veg before I flip to flower. I don’t want to grow plants that are too large for...

That’s going to be beautiful in a few weeks! Your earthboxes are working well.

Welcome to day 1 of week #4 of veg. This is my ugly scrog. It would have worked better had I trained the branches to spread out before installing the net. Live and Learn. Today is just a bunch of “glamour shots” of the garden to document week #4. The three Durban Poison look relatively...

Great write up Greenmobster!

I realize that I would probably be better off with two plants instead of three, but I’ve come too far to put one down. I’m determined to make this SCROG work with three plants. They’re all the same strain, so harvest will be simple enough. I checked the water reservoirs in the self feeding...

I’m not really sure what I plan to do KGB. This is only my second SCROG. I’m willing to sacrifice the net by either weaving over and under if that will work best or by tying the branches to the screen.

Yes, I’m not feeling good about this SCROG but I’m proceeding with this plan regardless. I think I need to raise the net up slightly and keep topping and weaving branches. I have done a poor job of bending branches to spread them out when they were smaller. I have some branch clips arriving...
