2 x 2 Mystery ScrOG

Hello rootsruler. I finally got my few started. So far,so good. Only about two weeks. It seems that you have more knowledge about this then I will ever have. I took your advice and got the vs1500 lights. Thanks. Now I have a question about cal mag. I got the flora trio I think it's called but haven't started with it yet. I see some cal mag has a little nitrogen in it,some seems to have a lot and some doesn't have any. Which kind would you recommend? The flora trio stuff has nitrogen in it but I'm just not sure which cal mag to get. Thanks in advance. It looks like you do amazing things
 
The Flora Trio is from General Hydroponics so I would try and keep it within the manufacturer. I use GH's CALi MAGic since I use their FloraNova line. The plants seem to really like it as I haven't had a hint of deficiency and the cultivars in the tent are cal/mag whores. I wouldn't worry too much about the small amount of N in most of the Cal/Mags.

Did you get the VS1500 or the VS1500 Pro? I have the pro model and I love it! Amazons got it for $99. Either will work but if you didn't get the pro model and can return the other I would do that. The regular model will be fine but the Pro model has special lenses that give better overall coverage.

LOL! Not amazing. Just paid attention when credible people offered up the sauce!!!

If you need help setting up your grow or advice as you go along just tag me and I'll chime in. Are you growing an auto or photo seed? The plant(s) in the 2 x 2 were all cuts from the 3 mother plants I have in another 2 x 2.
 
I'm debating on whether I should trim off leaves or not. She's definitely in the thick of it flower wise so I don't know If I want to trm any more leaves off. I can tuck those that are blocking light but I like to keep my plants open for air to move around in.
 
Is the under growth cleared out yet?? Never ScrOG'ed before, watched a vid or 2. I cant get use to the net. Sure does grow some pretty colas!
 
I believe I just have the 1500,I would have to dig out the box and look. I started with autos. One in 5gal fabric pot with Coco loco,one in 5 gallon with mother Earth stuff and one in a 3 gallon with mother Earth. Supposedly those two types of soil don't need nutrients for about a month. Kind of experimenting a little. Used to grow outdoors last century but never under lights. Amazing how far growing has come. There is a wealth of info on here and people like you to help out mean a lot. I probably will hit you up with more questions as they come along if you don't mind. Have to try and learn how to post pics. So far I'm happy with my plants and they seem happy as well. Anyway thanks for the cal mag info ,I will get the gh brand. I have read it's good to keep all nutrients from the same company. Have a good evening
 
Undergrowth isn't really thick. It's mostly the canopy that needs some strategic pruning but they're in flower so I don't want to stunt them if I do too hard a defoliation. Maybe just remove a few leaves at a time?
 
That's all I do from mid to late flower. I keep on as much as I can but try and avoid wet spots on the leaves to stop WPM and keep buds in the light. My theory is you want to stop as much light getting through the canopy so it's not wasted on the floor but used to make sugars for the flowers and roots for further nute absorption.
 
I'll probably get in there in the next few days and trim some of the leaves at the top of the canopy that are blocking light to lower bud sites. There isn't much undergrowth I need to remove as the canopy to soil line is only 10". LED's can penetrate down to the soil so removing some of the canopy leaves that are blocking light from penetrating deeper into the canopy is what I'm trying to accomplish and get better light at the soil line.

The canopy has pretty much covered the entire 2 x 2 footprint so I'm not too worried about wasting PPFD.

Water intake is increasing. I was feeding every 4 days. Now, if I go past 3 days, I get leaf droop.​

Bit of nute deficiency on all there it appears. Lack of root development? Too many in the one pot? Stoned gardener?

I must admit my smoking habits are not assisting my grow skills.
 
Pretty much. The lighting doesn't lend itself to taking true color pictures. They're much greener than the photo shows. They're lime colored genetically and require full strength cal/mag throughout. I would also go with underdeveloped root structure being one of the contributing factors but so far it seems like they're ok. Some of the outer leaves are starting to show signs of senescence but I guess we'll find out as it progresses.

I started full strength Cal/Mag a little too late so I think I may bump it up for a feed or two to full strength plus a 1/4.

​​​​​​Full strength = about 5 ml per gallon?

I'm curious what the pH of Cali-Magic is in plain water, assuming you mix it first. Cali-Magic (and the bush doctor Cal-mag I have) uses calcium carbonate instead of calcium nitrate, making it 1-0-0 with similar calcium levels. The Botanicare Cal-Mag+ is 2-0-0, pH is about 6.8-7.0 in dH20.

Great grow as always. You're about 12 days ahead of me.

Not much to report. Just watering and monitoring.

I've determined that, yes, I was able to get all 3 cultivars in the pot. Bigfoot Glue, Florida Strawberry and MoonGlow.

The BFG is bottom left of the pic. FS is bottom right and MoonGlow is the rest.​

No. It's either the genetics or me although I grew them in a different environment this time but they still exhibit the same traits so I'm going with genetics.
