Looking good medman

Quick update, my screen is down and I'm really excited for it to start filling up! This is my first automated DTW table, as soon as I set it up and realized I didn't have to move my plants I couldn't help but build a screen from materials around my house. Probably another couple weeks of veg before I throw in the 1000w hps and flip them to 12/12.

Looking very nice man. Throw in the 1000 and veg under that for like another week then you're good to go 12/12. You need to figure that most folks don't have 100% medium-zone below their scrog like you do. Those girls will overgrow your screen if you wait too long; worst case is it'll become a support structure which still isn't bad at all.

so i was wondering, do you only tuck the limbs back under the screen from under, or can you also tuck them OVER the screen, know what I mean? by folding the branch over a wire and then tucking the top under another wire? i thought this might be a good way to get the bud shoot locations exposed.

If you can pull that off then sweet, do it. In my experience your plants should be too strong to allow that far of a bend, but given the right circumstances I can see it working. You can always tie tops down to the screen if needed!

I was gonna post pics in another couple days and get some opinions on when to flip. They look much bigger in my pictures, lol. They are all bent down from LST so they are all little compact bushes with many tops. I am planning on taking at least 2 clones from each plant, so that will thin things out a tiny bit. I have two wild cards thrown in the mix too. One is a Jack Herer that is almost two months old that I trained liked a mother humper and they other is a wild sativa from a bag seed. I put them next to each other since they will take longer to finish then the rest.

I know I have a lot of medium! I wasn't planning on doing a scrog...I also wasn't planning on setting up an automated dtw table either but plans change : )

I figured they would bush out and I would just fill the screen that much faster. They all have roots coming out of the sides and bottom of those 3gals already.

I am going to take at least 2 clones from each plant, so that should fill things out a bit. They were pricey genetics, and they were s1 stock so I am looking for a good pheno/mother. Just by the looks of them in veg I seam to have at least two different pheno types of each.

My strains are Bubba Og Kush (pre98bubba x og kush) and Headband (ECSD x og kush). The bubba and the og aren't big yielders so I'm hoping big pots/scrog can help boost yeild a tiny bit.

Every move you made is a good one at least. Now you'll just have more selectability when pruning your canopy early in flower.

They are growing pretty fast. I removed(gasp, lol) a few leaves to increase air flow/even everything out, it was getting crowded. These pictures should give a better idea of exactly where I am. Take a look and let me know what you think. I think I'm going to take clones off each in the next couple days, give it another 7-14days and flip. I also rearranged a few of my plants and spread the bigger one's out to give them more room. I knew this was my last chance to move anything.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but you should tuck everything. When something pops up, you tuck it in an empty space of your screen and try to fill the screen evenly.

Have you tucked anything yet? Or did you just throw a screen ontop of your girls before you switched to 12/12? I'm curious, this is my first scrog and I thought the plan was to train your girls in veg to fill the screen, then flip?

yea i have been tucking for awhile. it is a single plant that has been revegged. i like to let the shoots grow a few inches through before tucking so the leaves can absorb that sun, and i think it slows it down a little when you tuck, plus it just looks traumatizing. and i believe you want to switch to 12/12 before 80% of the screen is full to account for the stretch that will fill it in flower.

Judging on the pictures above, I think I'm going to flip as soon as soon as everything hit's the screen. I trained them pretty good, I have an even canopy practically growing up to my screen already, I'll have to do very little training into the screen, just kind of move tops where I want them and try to spread the out evenly. I'm starting to get worried I'm going ot run out of room? Opinions?

well the plants should at least double so you will probably want to flower soon.

so what trimming is normally recommended? I know to cut everything below the screen once buds start to form, is there any other trimming recommended?

sorry to just jump in but had to share a pic of the manifold of my dwc scrog..

She is a beast!

This is awesome! I love seeing all those branches under the screen, it's like a minature magical forest or vinyard.

I have a question-my grow is from seed. My canopy is getting pretty full, and my plants are growing strong. It's not going to take much if any training to almost fill my screen. I would flip now but I'm worried that my plants are just a tad on the immature side. My branches JUST started thowing alternating nodes on it's branches and I am seeing 7-9-11 blade leaves. They are about 40days old from putting the seeds in their starter plugs. It should be fine to induce flowering at this stage correct?

My screen is adjustale, and right now it's less then a foot above the top of my pots. I want to leave a min. 24" between the top of my screen and light. Right now it's more like 30". My strains are bubba og kush and headband> both of which I am not familiar with so I'm not sure of how much they are going stretch.

Hey medicineman, seeing your screen so full puts me at ease a little bit, that is about what mine will look like before I switch to 12/12. Since I'm running more then 1 strain I still have about 3 runts that need to catch up to the screen, shouldn't take more then 4-7days though.

I would rather sacrifice parts of my plant(worse case scenario) then wish I had filled the screen more or vegged longer.

I keep procrastinating-I really need to take a couple clones from each of my plants. They are growing so much everyday I hate to chop off a couple branches and slow them down. I know it needs to be done, I'm pheno hunting/looking for some good mothers. I would be kicking myself in the ass if one of these plants turns out amazing but I was to god damn lazy to take clones and properly label them according to which plant they came from.

she sure as hell getting there, thanks!

hey guys this is my Pineapple express at 7 weeks. Grown in a water farm vegged an flowered under a 400 watt ceramic metal halide. from week 6 flower she has been under a 600watt. Used Maxi bloom whole way through monster bloom by gro tek as well in the flowering stage an that's it. used Stop Bloc to stop algae forming.

She smells really good I dnt smoke much like once every 6 months or less. Just love growing me some Herb. when I smell the flowers makes me cough a bit haha

Here's a couple pictures of my first scrog... Any suggestions? They are at the beginning of the 2nd week of flower and I just put the scrog on
