Click to expand...

yeah, a 6" cool tube, the temps average around 83F, I keep them a little high to take better advantage of the CO2 enrichment. Thanks man!

the first page has a couple of dimensioned drawings but I'm working on an improved design. Working on posting a short build thread on this one (including the changes) but planning on building a new (better) one after Christmas.

looking good my friend!!

Thanks man, appreciate the encouraging words! Did you see the crispy one on the left of the screen? She managed to bridge the distance to the light overnight and I didn't get a chance to check on them until later the next day. I rotate the screens every other day since my light is fixed in place, that's why it's on the outside of that pic (if that makes any sense).

Dude I was at my friends one time and this was after I had started growing so I was all obsessed with strains and always looking through attitudes catalog. Anyways this kid came over one time I didnt know him, and we were discussing strains and he was like my freind just had some Alaskan thunderfuck. And after he left I was like man these people just make up some crazy names I didn't think it was a legit strain and just completely made up, so at that time I had one bagseed plant grown with my skunk number 1 plants and I decided to name the bag seed West Virgina Panther Pussy to resemble the craziness of the Alaskan name. But I really didnt think it was a real strain where did you get them from or are you the guy that supplies my friends friend LOL.

LOL - It's a real strain, got this seed from a friend of a friend who was given a clone... (that's my story and I'm stickin' to it) It's tough to find and I don't believe what Sagarmatha is selling as "Mantanuska Tundra" is the same thing at all though you may hear that from time to time. I've heard it rumored that "dr.greenthumb" supposedly has a similar strain he's calling "Mantanuska Thunderfuck" though I can't say one way or another. I've sampled some of that "West Virgina Panther Pussy" but I ain't talking 'bout weed...

Okay need to get back on track... here are a few pics taken over the last couple of weeks. I experienced a Mg deficiency as you can see by the rust colored spotting on some of the leaves. That's one of the problems w/ hydro, this level of damage occurred overnight, fine just before bed, ugliness by 9am. The solution was to drain, flush w/ pH'd water & H2O2 then refill with fresh nutes, all is well now. Oddly it only affected one of the two reservoirs and I noticed the bubbles from the air stones seemed to be more like soap bubbles before the flush. I suspect a buildup in the reservoir since I had departed from a weekly drain/flush/fill regimen as "unnecessary" based on "advice". I think I mentioned it previously but I will never use rock wool cubes in a SWC again due to a several week long battle with pythium mold on one of the plants, Ed Rosenthal's Zero Tolerance is great stuff. ATF is a long flowering strain, they are at 62 days but being my first ScrOG I messed with them far longer than I should have and set them back a bit. I expect to harvest in another week to 10 days, will post more pics then as well as info on the yield. I like this method despite the "new" (to me) problems I encountered and expect the next round to be far better, not that this one is bad but I think it's less than optimal.



Neglected to add anything for scale, the largest buds are about 10"-11" long by 2 1/2"-3" across. The pic of the canopy was 11-12 days ago.

I actually just got a bag of this ATF, at least that's what I was told, and that's my story and I am sticking to it well it is awesome, very quick and energetic high, but relaxing as well. Great flavor too I wish the seeds were available, but I will settle with watching you finish yours which is looking very nice

Thanks gumball! If it is ATF you can't do much better imho though I'm a pretty big fan of NL #5 as well. Lots of good strains depends on what you like or what your medical needs are. I chose this strain for my wife's medical needs, it's great for chronic joint pain and pain-induced insomnia but still lets her be active.

Your right, it is a very active high. I have arthritis which literally vibrates me, feels like a cell phone going off in my pocket. It isn't painful, yet, but very discomforting. I want to try NL too, it has always stayed at the top of my first seed order list. The taste to the ATF is great

Yes it is, almost a chocolate aftertaste.

Getting pretty close now...

Damn ScrogThis there lookin good man, I love that DWC Scrog setup you got there looks sick and obviously works well +rep

very nice....i bet it smells really good in there

The reservoirs are only about 7" deep, upside is less room and nutes, downside is less nutes, they drink about 1 1/2 gallons / day at this point

It smells fantastic but not as strong as you'd think, mostly sweet not skunky at all. Had to trim a little of the undergrowth so what the heck, dried it on the ballast - better than anything I can get from the dispensary already.

Beautiful Beautiful man...looking great for only being 4 plants it looks like 6 or 8 haha, Keep up the good work man, im growin some short rider now using CFL and a small 2x4 area but looking to get a 400w in the next week or two.
Peace and +rep

looks real nice scrogthis, what do you think 3 more weeks?

Probably not that long, trichomes are all still clear on the buds though the undergrowth is starting to get cloudy and getting more orange hairs and nice frosting - looks better in person don't know why the pics don't show as well, might be the HPS.

Hey Scrog When building a net How High above the plants do you start it, Im Planning on making one out of wood and wire but i dont know how tall to make it

Just need enough room to work under it, clean out dead leaves & such; 12"-14" or so.

Thanks have you ever built a wooden one The wood will be easy to buy i just dont know what type of wire to get im sure the Home Deeps people can help me out though
