Hey FM, I tucked my tops one more time as I was gonna let them grow out but they were growing so fast I decided to tuck one more time. My screen is almost all full except for about a foot or so in each corner. I have trimmed out everything below the screen . I'll get a pic after she recovers from the last tuck. This thing is massive but I see yours is even bigger . Nice! Hey in the Scrog thread you say you will learn from last years mistakes. Any pointers ? How did it go last year ?

I quick n00b question if I may.
I've noticed that my plants are getting a purple/red vein {line} from the stock along the stem to the leaves {see e.g of it in pic #3 of my previous post}, I've read a little bit and realize it can be a natural thing depending on the strain or it can be nute issue. I have given them 2 doses so far, each dose was 15-30-15, my soil is a home batch of peat moss, perlite, black top soil {mixed with compost} and some sheep manure. My plants last year had the same issue and though the yield and potency were more than I predicted for my 1st time go around, I was curious if things would change drastically if I monkeyed around with the PH levels?

Im going to dig up some pics of my last year's SCRoG, one of the biggest mistakes was not putting it in the ground. Too much heat for a fabric pot outdoors. My plants roots got baked form the heat and I also used that plastic green screen which ripped up when she did flower.
How I tuck my plant....I tuck the plant constantly and when I know my plant is in full flowering mode and stretching good, I try to do a final tuck. Knowing the strain you are working with helps a ton cause you know how your strain stretches and can gauge it with tucking. Hope that made sense bro. I will look for the pics, you can see on the SCRoG thread back in July of last year. I will fish it out for ya bro!
Peace

Here I found some of the pics....it was a epic failure. My first time growing outdoors in a new house. I lived in San Diego and moved northeast where its hot as fuck and didnt realize the weather and heat would fry my plants roots. Thats why this year I want redemption and I learned bigtime from fucking this plant up. This year is my 2nd attempt at growing outdoors so I have to redeem myself!
Thats why this year I put the plants in the ground, much cooler and better root system. Also made a screen that will not rise and I gave myself more working room by making the screen taller off the ground. This screen was too low and a bitch to clean up under.

Thanks man ! My first OD was out here. With reading and learning I knew I better burry my pots or be in ground. I hope my screen don't pull up , but the plant is pushing up on it from the main branches. I stapled the piss out of it so I hope it will be fine. Thanks for the help. + rep

No bro this is what she looked like when ok and before she go fucked away. lolNo offense F.M. but if you call that a failure, then I'm sure to be gobsmacked when I see your successes
@TWS yeah once my plant went into its full stretch, she ripped up the plastic screen, I had it stapled too, thats why this year I used nails. What is good is that you can cut away to make room if needed. You will be fine bro with your screen but maybe next time try different and larger squares for a screen.
I swear it seems everytime you tuck she bounces back stronger. Maintain a nice pruning down low and she will focus even more energy to the top half. Plus it gives your canopy good air flow. If this is your first SCRoG, you will fall in love with it and want to start a new SCRoG right away!
