Looks great, hows the ultreflect work? I was looking at that vs. mylar. Wanted to know which was more effective. I know the ultreflect is re-useable, just wasnt sure if it performed as well as mylar.

I'm not sure actually? I just know that reflectix or any other kind of shiny insulation would be better than foil or none at all So far it seems to be doing okay, but it wont matter in a couple more weeks. Either way its cheap and does really good when it comes to insulating buckets. Keeps my water temps nice and cold

Looking pretty damn yummy so far! That is some major frosting!

About putting in more plants, are you referring to your vertical scrog? If so, it makes sense sorta. If horizontal, well from what I am seeing myself, I am just going to start training my clones/plants earlier and grow them bigger in my small veg area before I move them under the screen!? I didn't veg for that long this time anyways with great results!(20 days veg under screen, and this was without having a clue what I was doing!) I am about 11 days into 12/12 now and the fun is just beginning!

Very neat construction. I approve good sir~!

Whats up Man? Your update from the 8th looks awesome! Such a sea of gorgeous snowed over buds. That is cool. I have a question.. when you do the net thing over the plants, do you just let the plant grow up thru the net and then you try and position branches to grow thru the net? Does it accomplish anything else besides ensuring a more equal bud site arrangement? I heard somewhere that when you use a net like that the pant will relize it has something supporting it and won't spend as much energy bulking up branches, is that the idea? So it sends more nutrients up to the buds?

Anyway, she looks awesome! Keep it up!

Hey Ron. Thanks for swingin by. Basically I didnt veg this girl very long so the training could have been way better. Basically when you flip the plant to flower and stretch ensues....the screen keeps them help down so they grow horizontally and you can move the actual nodes into their own square in the screen and 8 weeks later there will be a bud there. All scrog is is a technique you can use to train individual limbs and branching so they can stretch out and recieve an equal amount of light because the plant is short and WIDE rather than TALL and branchy. Traditional grows without any kind of LST or w/e you'll see large/massive upper colas, but everything else has been lollipopped or removed. Using scrog and starting while the plant is young you dont have to remove any undergrowth hardly except for the little shtuff that gets shaded out along the way. Hope I explained it okay for ya Cheerz

Having PC issues again. I have no idea when I can do my next update :*( I'll let you all know....in other words....I'll be back!

Come on Minz.. Get that damn PC fixed. Im ready for an update bro.

I think it must have self destructed. Hope his plants fair better!
