First Grow Journal Nirvana Blue Mystic DWC SCROG

I've had such a problem keeping my plants under 9-10 feet tall, I've decided to try a real SCROG grow, using 1 1/2 chicken wire. I'm also doing it DWC, in a 72 litre tub, so I can refill the reservoir everyday, without disturbing the screen. I'm using Nutri Plus Nutrients, just the straight Bloom A B at the moment. I should say I vegged her for about a month, and she was a clone off a plant 3 weeks into bloom.
The first two weeks, I used a 600 watt MH bulb, in an attempt to keep her a bit smaller. My last grow, the top colas wrapped around my cool tube and I had to chop early. I'm going to be adding Bloom Boost at week 6-8 and Final Drive from week 7-9. I shot videos, but since can't upload them, I've taken screenshots of the videos to post.
Anyway, my goal is a pound dry off this plant. Hope I haven't droned on here, not sure how these threads actually work lol. Any feedback would be awesome though. So comment away lol

These first pics are right after 1 week of 12/12

Where did you get seeds from, if you don't mind me asking? Looks like you're doing a good job, they are beautiful. They look real fun to grow too.

I got these from Nirvana. It's the only seed bank I've ever ordered from where every seed pops and sprouts. Always healthy too. And thank you, I'm having a blast with this crop. I'm hoping for a pound dry. That's just one plant though. I wish I had room for more

As far as banks go I've heard Greenpoint and DC are both on point. I'm planning to go through one of them but I'll check out all of Nirvana's strains now too, thanks!

I've tried Royal Queen Seeds I think they're called, and a few others I can't remember the names atm (Hawaiian sativa wake and bake will do that...), but I've always gone back to nirvana. Ive had beans seized at the border into Canada, and they've sent me more, even before I can show them the documents proving it. Good times lol

Definitely be checking into their strains after hearing that. Sounds like good people to do business with.

1 1/2 chicken wire
Sounds really hard to deal with,
Are you weaving or tying?

Too big sucks for sure but im
Just wondering about your likes and dislikes with that small diamater.

Im probably going to 4in next time

I didn't really train her much. I vegged her to about 12 inches tall, then flattened her out for a couple hours. She was also a clone cut from a 2 week flowering plant, so they kind of monstercrop and go nuts. When she was flattened, I lowered the screen to about 6 or 8 inches above, and just let her do her thing over the next couple days
The only training I actually did was to pull them further away from the middle as they started to stretch, until they got to the edges of the tent, a 3×3 tent. There would be way too much there to have threaded each shoot. But with 4 inch squares, I think you'd have to train it and weave it and thread it all through. But honestly, there's very few open squares now, they have started to pop up from the middle now, the buds that would have been shitty popcorns have become tops and nice buds

5 weeks in. Today, I start the Bloom Boost hormones, for the next 3 weeks.

6 weeks in

7 weeks in

After 8 weeks, one left

It's unfortunate nobody is following this lol .I'm about to harvest, but would like some opinions on if she's ready yet, and I was thinking of chopping differently than I ever have .I'm going to be clipping the fan leaves off first, and drying the buds with the sugar leaves still on .I'm thinking that might make a more even dry between buds and stems, buds seem to dry faster for me, and also easier to get the shake for budder and tincture, it should just crumble off for the most part, when dry. Anyway, going to go for 48-72 hours darkness, probably starting tomorrow. I'll take one more set of pics I guess before lights out and then right before I chop

Nice grow Michael. Looks like some tasty fruit...
Currently have a grow underway myself going on right now, 44 days old that was vegged and LST'd under minimal amount a light. 4' 33w 150w equivalency LED Shop Light. Just put my girls under a cheap COB Light that arrived today. Not the best light but certainly not the worst either. On a low budget at the moment do to just paying property taxes and repairs going on right now. I do have plans in the upcoming months to build a decent light for my room. Update us on your harvest...

How was the smell during flower. I read blue mystic is a lower smell variety. I have a seedling started right now and would love your opinion.
