Just finished the defoliation. Wednesday I will be building the scrog net. (Payday) when the girls recover from the shock I will be transplanting to 8 gallon pots.

Looking like a pro! Excellent job, no bandages lol

 

[USMCnoviceMedical]

Thank you I really appreciate that.

I run a ScrOG the same way, as low as possible. When I grew in a 5ft high tent there’s wasn’t a choice but now that I have a taller tent I haven’t changed

This will be my first scrog. I have read the tutorial GWE so many times now I feel like I can recite it.

Ok so I have built the screen and installed it. I transplanted the girls. 8 gal pots. I'm going to give a day or so to let them recover from the shock before I defoliat them agian. As I said this is the first scrog I have ever done so not sure when I should flip to flower. Sativa 70/30 and the stretch jt says is about 2 to 2 1/2 feet. Was going to give about two more weeks in veg to fill screen a bit more and let roots expand. Anyone who has experience with a scrog thoughts?

That’s a beautiful set up. If I ever try this I know who’s design I’m stealing.

 

[USMCnoviceMedical]

Thank you I hated the idea of legs so I put it on a pulley system and attached it to the tent frame. I am very pleased with it.

 

[kayakiit]

I agree with Xena, these look great. Bookmarking this to revisit if I ever try a scrog net. Keep us posted on the progress please!

 

[USMCnoviceMedical]

Plan to keep posting till I harvest. Agian thank you.

So I have been thinking of upgrading my lights for a while now, also so I can move the kind L300 back in my 2x2 cabinet. So after talking with my wife and making sure we could afford the purchase I pulled the trigger and bought a Kind X2 commercial grow light for my 4x4 tent. So now I can move my K5 XL 750 into this grow. I am very excited to see how well the scrog will respond to the light upgrade. When the X2 arrives all my clones should be finished rooting and ready to go in the 4x4. Plan to start a sepret posting for that grow.

If that’s all the screen you have to work with it’ll be filled quick then all growth will be vertical. Probably be a good idea to flip to flower and let the stretch fill the screen

 

[USMCnoviceMedical]

Thanks bboy. Will make sure that the flip is set after they go to sleep this after noon.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Sir you have skills

 

[USMCnoviceMedical]

Thank you😀

Ok so last night was the last day for their veg. I also put the XL750 in there for an upgraded light source. I will be flipping them into flower to fill out the screen. Pretty sure its going to get crowded fast since these girls do 2/3rds of their growing in stretch. Will deal with that when we get to it. Anyway just got confirmation of the X2 shipping out about 5min ago. (Feel like a kid on Christmas) so here are there last pics in veg.

After 6 years off, looks like you’ve not forgotten how to grow. Nice work. I’m gonna follow this for scrog tips along the way, that’s next on my list to try out.

Ok also for this grow it is the first time I have ever used a living soil such as FF. So far up to this point all I have given them is ph water 6.3. When transplanting the girls i added about 5 gallons of mixed soil, ffof and ffhf with perlite, so the question is will I even need to break out the nutes for the flowering?

I have always used inert soil mixes and added nutes through the whole grow.
