Hey ZZB,

Not to rain on parades, but you may need to look for some nanners somewhere...I could be having my eyes playing tricks on me, but looks like in pics 5 and 6 got some hairs looking like they just got pollinated. Hopefully I am mistaken! Plants looking on time though :)

Yeah i seen that the calyx's were pretty swollen and it is bag seed so good chance it could hermie. I have been keeping a close eye on it and there is nothing in the calyxs at least the ones i have plucked off fingers are crossed and hope she makes it to the end as a her and not an it!:)

Try including the whole branch in the bending (i.e., also the part under the screen) and go easy, first bending just a bit, a few times, in the general direction you want to go. Then the branches will get more malleable and you do not risk breaking ;)

You may need more bondage there - the strings of the screen look kind of loose?

Hey, contemplating a scrog for my 6th grow. Is that one plant you have going there? I have a 4x6.5 spot that i currently grow 6 plants in under a 600. How many plants will i need to fill that spot. 4 too many?

Yeah those are 2 plants (vegged for 40 days, had some stretch, not however shockingly much, after flip) - though the space (= 20"x35") was meant for only one - which would have completely filled the space had I vegged for 2 months. Oh and I was inspired to do this by a guy who scrogged 1 c99 plant on 3'x3' :weed:

To determine the size of your scrog, you mainly need to balance the strain (is it a tall or short growing one?, does it stretch lots post-flip?) with your level of patience (how long are you prepared to veg?, do you enjoy weaving those branches?).
Also, depending on your grow space and how you can access what's growing in it, you may have limits as to screen size, or at least will want the screen & plants to be moveable, since you do need to be able to reach all parts of the screen easily for weaving (and watering, and more depending on your grow medium) :-P

So yeah, 4 screens with 1 plant per screen could be good for you, depending on how those 3 factors meet up for you :bigjoint:
HTH!

After some advice please guys. Had a bit of a sabbatical, took some time off from growing and I'm a bit rusty!

Had a decent enough scrog going with 3 plants, they are looking surprisingly well seeing as I've been terrible at looking after then! (Regularly forgot to water them, had lights on 14/12 by accident for last 4 weeks!) Flicked to 12/12 and then Xmas hit and now I'm not sure what to do.

I left them 3 days over Xmas, thought what's the worst that can happen, I thought stretch had pretty much finished, but no, it really hadn't!

Now I've got the Bud sites quite a few inches about the net, so my dilemma is, do I just leave it as it is, the plant seems happy and all the biggest Bud producers are right in the best light in the middle. Or, do I reposition it all now, spread it out and fill the net?

If I spread it out, then it's a flatter canopy, but then some of it will be moved further away from the best light. But then it will avoid issues with the plant blocking light from itself, but the trade off is of course possibly less light overall as it's further away from the middle! They are also a decent height from the light at the minute, so if I dropped them down, I'd need to lower the light, which of course decreases the spread further.

I deliberately aimed it all towards the middle as it was supposed to just be a small and quick grow, but laziness has made it a bit bigger than planned!

I've got a single 600 HPS light and the difference in quality of light is noticeable from the centre to the edges.








The pics don't quite show the size, neither the size of the plants or just how much above the net it is. Should have put something in to give it perspective. But those pots I'm using are giants!

Read my last post, do as I say and not as I do! But my mate just did 3 plants in a space about that size and left the switch to 12/12 too late, he didn't think it had grown enough. Ended up having to make support netting up the walls and everything for the plants to grow up, just to cope with the jungle!

The plus side is he harvested a shit load of weed last weekend!

Thanks James, but there was not much I considered instructive there. ;). Oh wait...
Don't forget you have plant and don't ignore them when you remember.

I'm embarking upon my first ScrOG!!!!! Building a basic frame and string screen that will go into this old wardrobe that I converted years ago.
IMG_0796.JPG IMG_0797.JPG
I've got a 150w MH light in there that I'm going to have to use for veg. It's not a huge space

Question:
Which of these gals should I use for the ScrOG:

Cotton Candy clone - mostly Sativa, currently in a 1 gal pot, drying out from flush, then ready to re-pot into 5 gal
IMG_0798.JPG IMG_0799.JPG

pineapple Express clone - mostly Indica, just re-potted into 2 gal,, recovering from spider mites and a few deficiencies. She'll bounce back nicely though, I know this strain pretty well. Will flush and re-pot into 5 gal in 1 month

My novice eyes would tend more towards the Cotton Candy based alone on her vitality and health.
Both have a good structure for scrog, and I don't know how either strain grows - that could also be an advantage, that you know the pineapple express so well, it will be easier for you to scrog as you know how she likes to grow...
Just my 2c ;)

Well if it's a scrog, it needs weaving - you have ample space to do so.
OTOH if you think they won't get enough light in the space of the net that is still empty on the net... maybe you shouldn't be scrogging them?

Week 9 day 2 Time to chop so I thought I would post final pics of my Advance Female Seeds Knockout Clones. I Vegged 2 KO clones for 27 days under a 250 watt led.

Pics and Update on my first ScrOG.

CHEA PScreen: 36" x 16" (1.5 hours and $0)

If it works, it's a proto-type. If it sucks, it's a first try.
Built this frame out of some scraps of pine I had laying around. Laced her up with heavy, nylon kite string. It's a little "slippy" and hard to work with but it's thin and strong. Drilled holes every inch. Only 4 screws hold her together!!! I attached one eye screw to each corner - eye screws double as anchors to hand the whole thing. I strung her up, tightened her up, and used some dowel pegs to hold the string. Some evening while I'm smoking and watching the plants grow, I'll carve some cool pegs.

IMG_0803.JPG IMG_0804.JPG IMG_0805.JPG IMG_0806.JPG IMG_0807.JPG

And my final pics - Boom!!!! She's in!!!! Cotton Candy clone. Soil to screen: 12".

It's my first scrog so advice is very welcome!!!!

Looking really good!
1inch spacing may be a bit of a pain to weave in though - I imagine it'll be pretty tight to pull your branches through with leaves and all on -- remember, they first need to grow up through the space, then get pulled back down and stuck into the next space... I have 2 inches on mine, and it sometimes even got to be a pain with that double space ;)

Oh and what is that on the floor of your cabinet? Hopefully not mold?
I'd be tempted to clean that before the scrogging gets seriously started...

Cheers :mrgreen:
