April 2021

I didn’t strip them as much as I usually do since they’re not fully adjusted to the Electric Sky’s. Watered them all last night and moved the dial to 50% and they were looking a little beat up this morning. This even I’ll set the timer to 12/12

Day 1 of 12/12, looks like they’ve adjusted to the new lights 😁

They started showing some sign yesterday but not enough to get me excited. This evening we have a tent full of bright green, flowering tops 😁

The Critical Gorilla upfront has turned into one pretty plant. She’s growing very uniform on her own. I never really mess with her.

Day 8 of flower, nice development throughout. About 3wks ago the Critical started consuming less water than the other two but they were being watered the same so it wasn’t too bad. Now they’re all three on a different schedule so I’m watering daily. This grow in combination with everything I have going outside has made me decide to finally try the AutoPots I’ve had over a year now but yet to open the box. Next grow coming in AutoPots

Day 13 of flower pics.

Little note for anyone following and thinking about trying something like these boards for training. 3 plants like this is too much in a 4x4 to fully utilize them. I had to stop pulling them down, if I only had two plants I could spread them out a lot more to really open them up, one plant especially. However, then you’d have to have yo-yo’s or some type of support system which makes me think ‘just grow it under a screen’. So in my opinion, having used this on a auto and now a couple weeks into a photo flower….these boards are great for autos to really spread them out and open them up but with a photo a ScrOG is a better technique. Im still going to get a lot of bud off these plants, don’t get me wrong. I’m just thinking bang for your buck or grams per watt here. Plus anytime you grow tall colas like these you’re going to get fluff. I’ll use that for butter but I prefer nothing but chunky tops.

Added a couple Blue Dreams to fill out the open space in the canopy. If I want some quick weed this is my preferred method from seed, it’s just as fast as growing a auto only less finicky and produces more yield…2wks in a cup, 2wks in a 3 gallon pot then 12/12. In my experience, if you use a 2 gallon pot your plant will get a little bigger but you’ll be watering daily before the grow is over so I use 3 gallon. The plants stretch like crazy for the first 10-14 days then they’ll start to flower.

I'm not sure about your setup, but you know that sometimes less is more. You may get better vertical cola growth with fewer colas. Or, after my recent experiments, I'd say don't be afraid to lollypop them drastically to ensure large top buds. That's the basic lesson I have learned: radical lollypopping produces huge top buds.

And I don't know about those two smaller plants: They will be dwarfed by the monsters in the other pots!!!!!
 
In my experience you can’t beat a scrog, when done properly you get nothing but big tops but I like playing around because no matter what technique I use it’s plenty to support the wife and me lol

Those two babies will surprise ya, I have them down low for now just to give them a few days to get adjusted. They went from being under a 135w veg light to 660w of ES. I’ll put something under them to get em up to canopy level in a couple days. They should produce about 3oz each
 
Since I've never scrogged I should have kept my mouth shut!!! Each grow environment is so different, and of course, I only know my own intimately. Yours is looking freakin awesome!!!!!
 
😂😂😂 sorry, I didn’t mean anything bad! I was only trying to explain that although these things are effective at getting a plant opened up to expose more bud sites, if you were to really utilize it you’d need some type of support for the colas eventually. But the way I scrog a plant, the supports already there. I was basically going over the two techniques in my head while I typed with my one finger😂. Thanks alltatup! I think it’s looking good as well, gona be a busy week defoliating
 
Going into week 3, looks like a busy week defoliating

It’s hard to tell exactly because as they grew I’d pull them down and a little wider until all the space was filled. The overall canopy height raised almost 6”. The GDP definitely stretched the most, I was pulling her down daily so I’m guessing she probably grew 12” or more. The Critical didn’t stretch much at all really, her energy went right to making buds because her colas are already full😁 The Bruce Banner was the biggest of the 3 coming out of veg, I had her pulled way down to be the same height as the others and actually released most of her colas to keep up with the GDP. Only a few are tied down on her now but the stems hardened into a downward U almost from being tied down so long
 
The two Blue Dreams are showing first signs of flower. Today is their 9th day in the flower tent and they’ve doubled in size. Always wanted to try this strain so pretty pumped to see all the colas popping up on them

My next grow I'm actually gonna grow a few photos. I'm gonna have to reference this thread. I hope a can steal a few tips and tricks from you.
