Been a few days. Things are looking muuch better. Just gave them each a small dose of Superthrive and a good watering. Nutrient burn that was on the SC has stopped on new growth, the burned older growth is looking much better too. LST'd the biggest one with 2 tops, just to let the others catch up. It's almost in the screen again anyway, I'm gonna have to turn the other light on and move them into place probably middle of next week. I dont think I mentioned, fuse blew in one of my ballasts. Worked out, I can save some energy and have the one light waay closer anyway.

So here's some pics. As always, input is welcome.

Congratulations, those look great. I am a big fan of LST and I have done a couple scrog grows. A truly amazing recovery. +rep to you.

Thanks LT, They really have done amazing since I transplanted them, flushed them, and started putting ph down in my water(8.2 tap!!!!). Got a few more pics for everyone. I gave them each 18oz water and 5oz Superthrive mixture (1/8tsp/liter) on Sep 9.

SSH #1 LST - Looks amazing :joint:

SC #2 - Filling in nicely

Checked the plants this morning, soil is dry. 18oz only lasted 3 1/2 days. Watering will be increased to 24oz each. Tonight at lights on I'm going to feed the SSH and PK, just water for the SC because they seem to be more sensitive to higher nutrients. They're the only ones that got nute burn when put into the FFOF. Will feed them next watering.

Just watered them all. 1/2 gal each. 24oz dried up fast!! Root systems must really be established at this point

Thanks. Glad someone's interested lol. I'll try and get some pics tonight, ladies seemed to love the nutrients, they shot up between 3-4 inches in 3 days.

It's too early in the game I don't think it's as exciting, especially when someone's first page is all about trying to save their plants lol. Those pictures aren't even shit compared to what the plants have done in 4 days. It's amazing how they've recovered.

I've been following your grow too, looks great, thinking about trying some in the next go-around. Who can argue with that flowering period?

I found a couple leaves on the SSH like this. Nothing major and it's not on many leaves. No idea what it could be though.

Been a few days, here's some updates for those of you following.

Clones are looking good, humidity dome comes off for an hour or so 2-3 times a day now. I'm thinking about leaving it completely off. At 50% humidity they don't wilt at all, so rooting seems to be happening. Nothing poking through yet though.

I gave the crop one more small veg feeding last night before I clone them in a couple days, trim them, and put into flower by the end of the month (you guys think I'm on schedule for that?) They also went into their final positions, as they were getting too big and crowded to stay under one light.

6oz Grow Big
8oz Big Bloom
12oz water


I took these about 10 minutes ago.

These are a couple leaves on the SSH, hasn't gotten much worse in the past couple days so I'm not too worried about it, but I am curious what it is.

So I woke up today and checked on the babies and found this!!

Also, I decided I'm going to make a platform to raise up the plants at the sides of the cabinet. With the screen raised at the edges, I assumed the plant's top would reach the screen and then be trained up to the top. I am planning on putting them into flower within 7-8 days though, and the SSH would still have about 3 feet to reach the end of the screen. I don't want to count on that type of flowering stretch, so I'm going to raise them 6" or so. Will post pics when done.

Does anyone have any other suggestions before I go ahead with that?

As it's already attached to a frame that's also attached to the box, that seems like more work that building a couple little risers. I thought of that though, my mistake was not building the frame to be adjustable. I'm going to raise them tonight and train them then. They're just poking through the screen now, so they'll be about 6" through when I raise them. Perfect to start training.

Just dropped the sides of the screen closer to level, stacked the SC and PK to get them a little higher, screen is maybe 40% filled now instead of 15%. I didnt have as much lumber as I thought, so I couldnt build it right now and really just wanted to have it fixed today. So this is temporary until the cabinet is empty for a day or 2 after harvest and I can work on it then. cant find my cameras memory card right now so pics will be later... I think this put me back on schedule to start flower next weekend.

Day late but as promised...

Cloning of PK and SSH tomorrow as well as a thorough undergrowth trim. Should look much cleaner tomorrow, then it's just a week of waiting and training until flower. Some of those with experience think the timing will be about right? Screen is reaching 50% full, those SSH should stretch quite a bit and they have the most space still left to fill. The rest of the plants' area is about 60% full.

So yesterday was an exciting day in the grow room. I took 14 clones; 7 purple kush and 7 super silver haze.

At day 11, I have roots showing on 4 of 7 Strawberry Cough clones and 2 of the other 3 still look healthy.

I also trimmed all the undergrowth from my plants. Really thinned them out, but I went very conservative at first and just couldn't justify much of the bud sites in the undergrowth. I plan to raise the plants another inch or so tomorrow, I really should have done that in the first place but oh well, lesson learned. I also realized I can't flower this week. Some advice would be helpful here for timing, but I'm thinking about another 10 days or so?

The ladies looked a little unhappy today too, I think trimming that much at once is just a lot for them to handle.

Here's pics, advice and input always welcomed

The scrog plants do look unhappy right now. I try to look at each plant individually and ask myself, which of these branches are going to reach the screen and be productive? After that, you have to live with your choices. Measure twice, cut once. A little trick I learned was to use a turkey baster to remove the runoff when feeding/watering. It becomes harder to get in there when the screen starts filling out.
