The black tube was from my last grow, it carried nutes from my reservoir outside my cab into the cupboard. At the end of that black tube was an 8 way splitter, 4 drippers per pot, check it out:

This was in the beginning of my last grow, a lot has changed in the cab since then. Worked like a charm though, i'd leave these 2 growing for a week at a time without checking up on them, watering was all on a 7 day timer.

It's definately possible to do a mini scrog using CFL's, in fact, check out this journal, this guy did a mini scrog inside a speaker! So if he can achieve this then i'm sure you can with a bit of research.

Decided to build some supports for the screen today, made 2, still need to make another 2 for the other side. These legs will support the first screen, as the second screen sitting on top is quite heavy.

Between the 2 screens will be further supports like these but ones that are easier to adjust. The reason I don't want to hang the screen is because if i do, i wont be able to pull the plant out on the rollers like i currently can. Therefore i'm trying to build everything to sit on that frame that slides.

Couple shots of the branching i cleaned up

She's actually looking really good today, very nice and healthy, showing no signs of stress, maybe some slightly slower growth if anything. Either way i've decided to flip her tomorrow! For the time being i'm not going to use the CFL, but when she starts flowering properly i'll reconsider.

Sweeeeeeeeet!! Tomorrow she begins to flower into a beautiful lady. Ahhh they grow up so fast.

P.S. Man I don't know about you but I keep thinking hope those k'nex hold when those buds are over a foot tall and heavy. Good luck brother.

About time eh?! I might even do a daily update during her stretch as i'm sure i'm gona have to rearrange branching daily, her growth has been so-so so far, but she's about to go into serious overdrive!

Oh there's NO doubt about that. Once that HPS starts her job she's gonna really start shooting up. Seems strange to me that the HPS makes them stretch when flowering more than the MH does when vegging. At least from what I've seen. Maybe that's why some use the HPS all throughout?

You definitely have to do daily update with pics - this is like watching everyday news to me

Using MH bulbs minimises stretch big time all grow round from the best of my knowledge, using a HPS during veg will just mean greater node spacing, which will then stretch further during flowering meaning you'll have some long branches. Really depends on your set up as to whether thats advantageous or not, and what you're trying to achieve.

News with a difference... haha, i'll try man

So this is the plan, have it like below, will probably try and get all branches to stretch up to the current height of the screen, i.e. the 2nd screen now will be at its lowest, and from here on will be raised accordingly.

I've figured out an easy way to raise/lower the screen, will show you my plan when i eventually put it on properly and permanently. I just thought i might as well get some pics of everything whilst ive got a MH bulb in there, not a fan of HPS pics. Obviously i've already removed the screen, will stick it back on in a couple weeks if not sooner.
