First attempt at a scrog grow

drweedthumb said:

Idk if you seen my pics under the scrog plant is bushy as hell down there. They have been vegging for almost seven weeks , nine if you Count first two weeks under the cfls from seedling. It has its pre flowers. I been dealing with this strain for a while now super skunk. It stretches alot. Last grow I had nice canopy all the sudden main stem shot up and was almost double size of the rest of the plant. I was scared to bend it because it was so stiff. So the main canopy was almost 3 ft from light with main cola 10 inches from light. So rest of my buds suffered because of the main cola stretching so quick. We shall see what happens

i agree with the suggestion of filling the screen more, usually a good 70%. you mention that you had a main cola being closer to the light, than the "main," canopy? all of the buds should be the same distance from the light, that's the reason for doing a scrog. you want to keep pulling the growth under the screen, and keeping them all even. this way you can get the light as close as possible, getting the most from your yield. if you just let the plant go, you're not really doing a scrog, your just growing your plant through a screen. course, there's more than one way to skin a cat, but i always try and yield the most i can from my area/environment....

Last grow didn't give the plant alot of time I was busy so main cola got away. I'm happy with switching to flower now I think it's the right time. This is my first scrog grow usually I grow Christmas trees wasn't growing for making money just to learn. Scrog is fun and canopy is even which should produce some.nice ass buds my main colas are usually pretty nice like coke bottle size

Meant to also state I'm kind of in a time.crunch but came to far to just throw in the towel. That's other main reason I rushed plants into flower believe me I don't mind the patience aspect. I have work that's needs to be done in my basement sooner than later so need to get the plants done. Don't exactly live in legal area. Also not a drug dealer I'm always 1 to 2 plants for personal use.

I know what my old Christmas trees used to look like so I'm excited think I'm going to have great results and yes nextime I will definitely veg linger when I'm not under the gun.

Well here she is starting to bud up if I didn't know and better I think there was two plants but there are only one. One side of screen has wider leaves and lighter color , other side has dark evergreen color leaves that are much skinnier idk

Update buds are looking good wish I could have vegged longer cause I think this plant could have been a monster. Anyway I don't count weeks of flower if I had to guess say around 3 give or take few dayd. Reason I don't because I go by trichs. As a newb my first three growers I got excited and pulled way too early. So just wait for mostly cloudy with a few amber .

I'm liking what I see so far.

Some up close pictures of the buds and a shot of the while screen. I'm excited Def should have great results. Next grow going to veg until I cover entire screen but with the time crunch liking where my plant is at right now.

32 tops coming out above screen wondering how many would be there if I didn't rush the veg. Cycle

Had some yellowing of the leaves mostly below the screen so picked off the one that came off easily. Cleaned up all small sites under screen and lower vegetation. Like the way it looks so far hoping the buds fatten up a whole lot though but I got some time left for that. Just really starting to see the trichs now. Can't rush the flowering time. But Def starting to worry about time. Only because have some repairs that need to be done.

Pulling up a seat. I'm also doing my first scrog. I now know that I have a long time to veg.

Yes listen to the other commenter's, don't get me wrong I'm happy with what I have. But if I would have vegged longer I'm sure it would have been soooo much better. But like I said kinda need them to finish sooner but we'll not rush flower lol that is just a huge no no and complete waste of time. If I was commercial grower or growing for profit right now I'd be pissed at myself. But I'm excited because I just smoke it.

That fattening up! I still have a while yet have a few orange hairs , still shooting pistils daily. But they are already fattening up pretty nice. I'm guessing four to five weeks till harvest but go on trichs so who knows , not even to the point to start checking on themView attachment 2979709

Had 8 tops jump about 4 or 5 inches taller than the rest but even the smaller ones look nice! But longer veg and some more super cropping and this lady could have been a monster.

I am getting some drooping yellow leaves right now. Almost done period should be harvesting in next 2 to 3 weeks. I know they are getting enough water. Could be an N problem. Tops look great most of yellow is all the lower leaves. We shall see.
