~The Scroggrotto~

I do more than scrog.

Fish, Explore Remote Alaska, Wildlife Biology & Environmental Science UAF, Commercial Fishing, Winter Subsitence Hunting, Jewlery Carving (Shed Walrus Tusk Ivory, Mammoth Tusk Ivory), Moderate for RIU, Alaska Winter Trapping, Photography Journaling for my Son, Tidal River Ice Fishing, Wildlife Photography, Tenderman/Crane Operator, etc...


Patients of Alaska are limited to 6 plants. ONLY 3 Mature and flowering at any one time. SCROG makes it worth it. Cost would outweigh the effort and reward if I were not a scrogger...

amazing pictures mate and a cool new thread nice work im subbed

Ah, good to find where you landed, Woodsman-- I was worried that you skipped town. Sub'ed fo sho.

I have a question for Woodsman, or anyone else who has been scrogging or a while.

I'm running some Jillybean, Vortex and Lemon Skunk and am looking for the best choice of a clone mother. Of course I'm looking for strong branching, lots of trichs, flavor and quality of high.

I just don't know if the height or stretchyness of the plant matters, since it's going to be under a screen anyway. Do you have an opinion on the importance of height in the selection of a mother? Are there any other considerations that should be part of my selection process?

Whats up Woodsman? How ya been? Are you still running solar to power your grows?

Nice woodsman what do you scroggers think

Nice, I really appreciate all three strains your running pal. Lets make sure I am on the same page, your asking which strain to use as a mother? What phenotype to select? I am a bit confused sorry but I will shoot anyways.

Subs line; I would recommend learning what pheno you have and just how the plant will perform once flowered. His line has variations that are far different from one another. There are exceptional mothers to be had though.

Lemon Skunk from DNA made one of my favorite crosses to date, I call it Spiked Lemonaid. Its a really lemony LS crossed with a cut of Vortex that I found in 2007 that I stuck with.

The Lemon Skunk alone is a large plant with big foliage. She can eat. Makes a nice scrog, and fantastic finish.

Jilly, ran it several times and again I have to suggest doing your pheno selecting first. (Oriah did a Jilly here a while back. I think it was 1000 watts, smaller pheno, search it in grow journals)

If you had good select from each strain, I would honestly have a hard time choosing myself... Nice lineup pal!

Howdy buddy, been a while eh? Good to see ya.

I myself am not. I am kinda out of the growing gig for a bit though I coach and what not.. You know me
Out of Alaska for a bit as well. A few gardens that I have helped with are using solar power to charge D-cell banks that are used for various things. One of the gardens has a bank of water drums that are about 12 feet off the ground. The lady with the show had breast cancer and lost a major portion of upper body in the process and uses a E-Z-Go (go cart on roids), to bring a single drum full out to her site. She then simply drops in hose from an inline pump that is connected to her battery (solar charged). She fills her "tower", then uses the raised water to gravity feed her 70' long green house.

Its nice to have bright blue drums hanging in the air without worry of the eye in the sky...

I started a personal run a while back (noted it in ETS/SUPP) but got really sick shortly after and handed it over.. Its not easy these days for this fella. No complaints though, I am here.
