I did look at the journal of SCOTTYBALLS on which your grow is based. I really like the way both you and SCOTTYBALLS have maximized your yield with just one plant. I'm a big fan of big yields with few plants or one plant.
I, too, have been inspired by the great SCOTTYBALLS to try my hand at a scrog. I think if you double it up like you plan with 1200 combined watts of HID, you're gonna get a mind-blowing yield. I love your wide array of branches that all terminate at one single bucket under the screen. Beautiful. I have a mind at doubling up my setup as well with 2x1000 watts in 5x5. It's a challenge I look forward to.
I'll be watching your nugs fatten.
Thanks lordjin - I feel ya - it's great to only have 1 plant to manage and watch it develop into a massive beast in a single pot! The screen really does make it easy to spread it out while it's stretching, and keep the tops even. This sativa-dom pheno I have appears to be spreading it's 'love' fairly thin with so many tops, but I'm hoping the biggest ones will really fill-out and increase my yield just by mass quantity of bud, rather than independant weight of each bud-site...
That's going to be one hot tent with 2x 1000w inside 5x5... but I'm sure you've got'em cooled good - do you have enclosed hoods or cooltubes?
u da man.......................... looks amazing........................period............
tried to +rep, but i gotta share the luv a lil more before i can give u rep i guees .....soon as i can homez
Yo realnyjuggalo - thanks!! I see you're a New Yorker... what strains are popular in your area right now (that you can buy on the street)?
Great looking grow Dayzt. I love your setup. Im also growing tangerine dream and have one massive plant that is about 65 days into flower. I had two until recently when i decided to ditch one of them because after 7 weeks of flowering in a room with 2800 watts of HPS it had failed to produce anything but a few spindly hairs let alone actual bud. (while other strains produced nice dense frosty buds and have already been harvested.) The one remaining is filling out ok but Im begining to get discouraged since it is so close to when it should be done and the buds seem to have no substance since the calyxs are so small. Very much like the barneys LSD I recently grew a couple times. So i was wondering how long into flowering your TD is and if your buds are filling in in comparison to other things youve grown.
Hey Bamb - that sucks you had problems with your TD there - I've noticed these buds are a bit 'ropey' right now, but I expect they'll bulk up a bit into the next few weeks. I'm at the end of week 5 right now, but I expect this girl to go at least 10 weeks, most likely 11 or 12. What type of nutes do you use? It sounds like maybe you're using something the Barney's strains don't like...? I had a bad turnout of Barney's Pineapple Chunk, but it was mostly my own fault as I didn't take that good care of it...dried out on me pretty bad and I didn't get a very big yield.
I grow only sativas and for the pictures of this plant I have to say that is a lot of potential in that grow, but to be honest I never grow a sativa with a 400w before. I think if the plant doesn't stretch much more than now for what I see she can easy yield about 12 to 15 oz with the 400w and about 17 to 20 oz. with the 600w or maybe more. But I want to see that plant yield over a lb. with a 400w thats the reason I fallowing this grow so close I think is going to be a surprise yield. I'm a true sativa lover the buds are not so big or hard as the indica but the highs are the best, love sativas. Keep it on D!!!
Thanks budhuger - when these buds start to 'thicken' up a bit more, the sheer 'amount' of them will bring my yield up well over 10 zips I'm guessing. The 400w i'm using may be on it's last grow, but it's a great bulb - a Hortulux Eye that I paid a little extra for, partly because it's an HPS 'conversion' bulb due to my MH metallic ballast.
I'll throw some more pics up either later this evening or tomorrow eve. Thanks for following along!!
12-15 oz is quite a stretch i think.. im thinking 4-6ounces dried.
loll im thinking deffintily alot more then 4-6 ,matatan
my bets on 10+ zips looking forward to seeing this finish out!
keep at it dayzt!
Wow - if I get over 10, I'll be quite happy. Considering the sativa dominance though, it will be touch and go with getting a heavy yield - only time will tell, and I have all the time in the world to let this girl finish...
