hi fellow scroggers
this is my first attempt so any pointers will be much appreciated, just trimmed up underneath today gunna go 12/12 in the next day or so im not sure if its too early or late? my goal was to fill every square but has taken a bit longer then anticipated.
Ive vegged under a 400w halide conversion bulb and will be flowering under a 600w hps maybe go to 1000w hps if I can get another ballast before its done. ( got a 250-400-600w digi at the moment) the screen is 2.5"x2.5" holes on a pvc frame in a 4'x4' tent.
not really sure where to go from here, do I cut out any of the weaker tips to stop overcrowding? how spaced out should I aim to have colas?

looks great man. I would recommend vegging with at lest 600 if youre flowering with 1000 because that increase in intensity will shock them unless you start with the 1000 very high and lower it gradually. honestly your screen is ideal to flower right now, maybe even a few days ago. Very nice training! After stretch that screen will be just slightly overloaded but that's np, the light intensity increase will keep em plenty happy. with a good 600 bulb you'll have 8"+ of prime canopy, 1000 14"+

what mix, and nutes are you running in those dumpers?

thanks, im fairy new to this growing thing that's my 4th time, im using all Canadian xpress, using ther Max yield mix and I add 30% coarse perlite, also using their coco nutes haven't experimented much yet so just going off their feed charts and seems to be going fine.

About to harvest in a week or so.
I wish my room was big enough to simply cut the main stalks and flip my screen upside down to dry.

good idea. i may actually try that.

Final report.
1000w
5x5
1.5 lbs of high quality
prolly over a qp of hash material.

Could have done much better had I let my screen fill up a tad more.

I was thick in some areas and sparse in others.

I was a bit surprised by the amount of airy weed growing out of the same part of the screen as super dense weed.

Any ideas?

All plants were same batch same food etc.

eeeekkk sry to recommend the early flip, regardless that's still an awesome yield brother. as far as airy beside dense, that's really strange, never seen that. do you have a pre-chop porn pic?

charface · Jun 20, 2014

Not your fault I had no idea and without you seeing it in person no way I expected perfect.
Anyway this is the last pic before I cropped.
I think it was a whike after the pic but not much.

BubbaGumpHemp · Jun 21, 2014

that looks great! i am also on my first scrog and trying to gain some pointers. i started a journal on it, today is the first day i h ave stopped training, i switched to 12/12 1 week ago exactly so im hoping i did not stop training to early. how long was it that u stopped training after u flipped? there more pics in my journal

that's beautiful. so a 1000 will give pretty solid growth to the edges of a 5x5?

worst case scenario, if you flipped a little early, is that the screen will be a little more of a support structure, and youll have to lollipop the lower branches up to the screen to fill it out. it happens, you'll still get 30%+ yield from the support

Yeah i forgot to mention that.
I was wondering how that would go also.
I have a blazer 6
Hood if memory serves and it did fine all the way to the edges.

Little help from some experienced Scrog Experts?
2'x3' room- 6 plants in 5 gallon buckets- 600 watt hps in veg adding in 400 watt hps in flower- MASSIVE defoliation going to happen...
without getting into tons of un-needed specifics am I going "overkill"? I start flowering tonight and my screen is filling up quick, any comments or suggestions?

charface · Jun 21, 2014

Alright so im gonna just run a standard grow this time.
In the meantime im building 10 x 10 net.

Gonna use sturdy wire.
So it will be a couple months waiting for this crop but ill be back.

Ill be watching the thread for new ideas n stuff.

Overall I enjoyed the scrog and have the test run out of the way.

charface · Jun 22, 2014

I meant 5x10 not 10x10.
Who am i kidding

i try to stick to a 4ft wide canopy (50" is what u see there) as thats the width of my hood. plus, i find it more efficient to direct as much of the light in a rectangular area that i can. if i keep the canopy at 4ft in width i can extend it horizontally up to 8ft with 1000W HPS i try to not ever go past 7ft just so theres a little overlap in the middle so the canopy gets an even amount of light. as to your situation im not sure what kind of hood your using, mine is a vertizonal its 4'x4'. worst case scenario some of your branches on the perimeter may start trying to grow back towards the light which can be rectified easily.

I did notice the stuff in the center was notably more dense and while the edges did turn toward the light the quality did not suffer in any meaningful way.
I have only ran one strain though so not sure if that comes into play
