First hydro and first scrog

Redlig · Dec 30, 2021

So I'm doing my first real journal I started out with two clones from my mother. I have no idea what she is but I like her anyway....from day 1 till right when flowers started to show. Basically it's my first time testing my new set up, I recently switched from dirty to hydro and my first time trying scrog. I learned a lot and made a few mistakes along the way but were getting there. I'm loving hydro so far. I built a metal table with a 2x4 tent sitting on that with my res underneath. I've been running gh medium feed schedule so nothing too wild keeping it simple right. Running it through the whole cycle. Lately I've been around 2.0 to 2.5 ec 68f and around 5.8 ph. It's been swaying but I found with the ro water a little calimag helps keep the swaying down. Also the 35gal tank helps too.

Now Roughly 3 weeks into flower....here is a pic also of the last time I flowered one of her clones. I didn't want to do a journal but I'm at the point I want input advice help Lol I just want to get better at it. Tired of lurking I guess

My 2 c

Hydro is where the veg really explodes
Flowering cycles no difference
So next time wait longer before flipping
Fill that space
I know I know antsy to try new grow gear but really where I loved hydro was the fast veg explosion

I totally agree. I really screwed up the scrog. I didn't train correctly and ended up with a thicker but smaller foot print canopy than I intended. I have a lot of hidden buds but at this point I'm letting it ride.

And the next run you will probably kill it.

We shall see I have a long way to go. I recently started a few seeds and that's got me even more pumped than the scrog. Mostly because I have no idea what they are...

Redlig · Jan 3, 2022

Did some minor fan leaf removal. The struggle is EVERY leaf has trics on them so it pained.....I kept telling myself I'm growing buds not fanleaves lol. Just trying to get more light to the bud sites. I also popped 5 more of some bag seed I had of another strain. Could be good could be bad but definitely free I hope to get at least one male so I can dabble in making some more seeds. As far as the ones that didn't germinate they probably won't they weren't very mature seeds but a guy can hope right

Slowly but surely getting there. Did a res change today Ph5.6 temps 66 to 68 and ec 2.0. Just waiting, I think I'll have another 4 weeks I'm guessing

I wish I knew what it was. All I know is I like it. It did better in soil but theres always room for improvement the ebb and flow is just too easy. Here is a pic from another grow same mother same as my profile pic.

So my flowering plants are going smoothly. Just kicked back coasting EC around 2.0 temps 66 to 68 and my ph I have been taking down to about 5.5 and letting it slowly rise. It's nuts how much these plants can drink and how much it can effect things. Anyway going good so far. However the seedlings I have are looking a bit funky. I transplanted from the solo cups to the 1 gal pots and while the growth is nice and super even the leaves are all over the place. I'm thinking transplant shock and maybe over watered? They were started and transplanted in FFOF. What does it look like to you guys/gals

Starting to fatten up

Redlig · Jan 18, 2022

Mmmmmm getting there

Redlig · Jan 25, 2022

A little playing around with the camera. I'm not fussy about tric color I just lime the look

Redlig · Jan 29, 2022

Still...waiting. not sure how long I'm gonna go. I just did a res change and cut the nutrients down a bit and my plan Is at least two more weeks then change it again

Redlig · Feb 5, 2022

So I've been just chugging along and now I need some input. Would you guys say it's still producing stigma? I though it was done so I started tapering off on my nutes, Ended up cutting them about in half. Do you guys think I started cutting back a little too early? Another motivator to cutting back was the little bit of leaf tip burn figured I might be over feeding anyway.

I'm currently running gh medium feed schedule which is about 5ml per gal on micro/gro and 7 on the bloom side. 1.8 to 2.0 on EC,ph starts around 6 and I let it fall to about 5.2. That was my res before I changed it now it has those numbers nut in half basically. I did a rez change this morning early before lights kicked on then noticed them. What do you think @Herb & Suds

Herb & Suds · Feb 5, 2022

Who cares what I think?
1 your photography skills have really improved, but maybe it is just the subject matter
2 screw worrying
3 it’s in the window of harvest
Pick a day and start all over again
:blsmoke:

Because you have more experience than I do and I'm not worrying just don't want to sell myself short. I planned on chopping this coming weekend anyway

Redlig · Feb 16, 2022

Finally chopped it and was blown away with my end results. My goal was to get at least a 1/4 total. I knew I could I did it in soil before. The scrog blew that away, aside from the longer veg time I'm totally sold on it. The most fun part was cutting the strings in the net lol
