SCROG 400w in Flower - Multi-strain - Second grow

**mayrequiempass** · 06-20-2012, 08:14 AM

I started up a journal but unfortunately have had no replies. In need of some advice, I am starting a separate thread to discuss the process of weaving my plants through the screen. I transplanted from 1 gal pots to 4 gal, and then place the netting in. It looks good so far but im not sure exactly how I should go about weaving the plants. Heres some pics of my tent after the screen was put in place (yesterday).

They are approx 38 days old from seed, all are showing preflowers and 3 are in flowering due to autoflowering genes, I plan to flip to 12/12 in a little over a week so hopefully they will fill out the screen a bit before then.
Please reply with some helpful comments, for those of you who run scrogs often, any tips you would suggest? such as how to water, weaving, etc.

Here's a link to my current grow journal, it has pics from when they were smaller as well.

Updats: All plants are now in flower (Day 43 from seed)

I will begin counting flowering time from today, although the autos have been flowering for 2 weeks or so.

Here's an update on the scrog

I have been shortening the days down from 18/6. 30 minutes every day and 1 hour on some days, I will flip to 12/12 within the next 3 days. They are beginning to stretch already, any suggestions on when I should make the flip? I'm stoked to see these gals in full blooom.

comments are welcome

Update: Day 50 from seed - Week 2, Day 1 of 12/12

2 have really stretched over the past week and im concerned about having to raise the light height. It seems as only one is still stretching.

Im not really sure what to do about the stretching since they will break if I bend at this point and there is also no room to spread em, its 6 plants in a 3x2 space.

Heres a shot with lights off from a few days ago

Day 15 Flower Update

I think they are finished with their stretch, now to start packing on some weight. I hope the light can penetrate enough to yield some good sized buds

Comments are welcome

How far down will a 400w penetrate? right now the tip top buds are roughly 3 inches away, the screen it self is about a foot or so.

Update Week 4 Day 1 of Flower
Hey there, I took a few shots on sunday (Day 1 of Week 4)

Day 22 Flower (1).jpg Day 22 Flower (2).jpg Day 22 Flower (3).jpg Day 22 Flower (4).jpg Day 22 Flower (5).jpg Day 22 Flower (6).jpg Day 23 Flower (2).jpg Day 23 Flower (3).jpg Day 23 Flower (4).jpg

the last pic is one of the smallest plants in the garden, I really hope these guys start to bulk up, they look relatively small for how long they've been in flower and Im using a new bulb which im hoping will help increase my yields

Hey buddy, I dont think many people bother with replying here, ive also got no replys... mayb we cud watch each other

Yours are looking good for day 28, n trust me they will bulk up
A couple of the leaves look a little droopy on one plant though? Any reason?
Ive never scrogged myself due to me wanting to pull a plant out of the room now n again, I tend to use sog
Intresting strains, wats so special about that paki ryder plant?

Edit: hold on I dont get it, there day 28? into 12/12? that last pic it looks like you have many amber pistils already? that should not be the case unless im missing something?

**mayrequiempass** · 07-18-2012, 06:34 PM

CircuiT37 Cheers! Thanks for stopping on by, its been getting lonely haha

The reason for the droopiness is that they were on there 5th day since watering/feeding, I always let my plants wilt before watering them, I feel like the little bit of stress in creates can help. this is only my second grow and I feel like i'll go back to no scrog, it's pretty cool and may have a good harvest but I want to either scrog with one plant or top multiple plants. Its a bitch watering these girls and I loved being able to take my plants out to manicure and look at them. with the screen in place its almost impossible to adjust the back plants.

the reason for the amber pistils on the last pic is because thats the autoflowering plant (PRxNL) and its about 3 weeks ahead of all the others. I just had it in the tent while my others were vegging. Im counting the days of flowering based on the biggest plants (photoperiod)

Nothing special about the Pakistan Ryder other than it happened to hermie last grow and produce a ton of seeds for me, resulting in a grow of plants with paki ryder genetics in every

**mayrequiempass** · 07-18-2012, 06:36 PM

oh and they are on day 22/23 in the pics, not 28. that will be later this week

Hey mate, to save you raising the light, it wont hurt your plants if you train the main colas back under the screen. It will also help to fill it out too

good luck, your plants are looking nice though
