Ok so I'm starting my first PC/scrog grow.
I've looked and search every cannabis forum their is and I can't seem to find any pc/scrog grow.
I'm talking about the entire screen filled. 1 plant. So I posted this so everyone can post here their pics/yields!
My set up is 18"L 19"H 10"D
4 23w Sylvania daylight 5000k
Temps 70f 1 plant scrog.
Please help me never done scrog before or PC how long do I veg?
And when do I put the screen on.
Thanks riu!!!

Even if it's scrog. I heard you wldont switch till the screen is at least 50% filled..
Do you have experience on PC growing. Thanks for the reply.

Thanks alot bro..it helped me understand the scrog method alot more...
I have a seedling growing right now it's about 5 days old
Mine isn't really a PC grow.
I have an accordian box and I made a growbox out of it. Will post pics up later tonight.
Its sane height as a regular PC though. Also is it bad if temps are 68-72f?

Nah dude that temp is fine, 72 is good, you can even go a bit higher but that's perfect! I just stripped my pc case so I will have a pc grow in like 2 weeks time! Goodluck man, will check out your grow if you post pics

Looks like you got alot of what you need covered. But have you considered moving the lights closer? You're gonna get a lot of stretching puting them up so high.

(JIMMYKING)- THanks man i want to see how it goes too its my very first scrog/micro grow. its not gonna be perfect but you learn off of every grow!

(TRUNKS87)- Yea figured that out so i put the screen up and put the seedling ontop of the screen!

(INDOORMANIA)- Would love to see your pc grow as well (your) and any body else is welcome to post your grows here would love to have some advice as well?

subbed and ready! -- thanks for the heads up.

we pretty much have the same set up.

does the 42w cfl for flowering get way HOTTER than day light bulbs? (considering you are doubling the size of wattage)

goodluck with the grow!

herbal.experience=no problem man. your welcome to post your setup here if you want. would love to see it aswell. and yes the 42wcfls do make temps go up. but my temps are 65f-70f so i should be fine.

trunks87-i took out the rest of the plants put them under my 400w/mh bulb to veg and i left just 1 baby in thier and she(hopefully) is hogging up all the lights/lumens! :)

so here is an update 9 days old looking nice.
to me my plant looks kinda small for 9 days but my last grow was with a 400watter so its a def. slow down in growth with cfls
does she look small for 9 days old?
1 of the leafs looks kinda retarded. im thinking because i have no humidity in thier( i think)
i have no humid reader. so idk if thier is humidity in thier or not. but im guessing not.
any ideas on how i can make it humid in thier?:)

Too keep my sprouts humid in my flowering case I take a piece of papertowel wrap it up wet it and put it right on top of the soil. Here's my pc case im flowering a white russian its about 3 1/2 weeks. I haven't been keeping track. Try to scrog them low and keep them low because you will want the room when you begin flowering. Get a cheap thermometer/humidity reader, mine was like 7 bux. With just 3 bulbs and running 3 pc fans temps will reach 85+ so I threw a shitty walmart 6" fan in there and it does the trick. I don't need to be discrete, but if I have to, its nice knowing I can be stealth. Good luck

Btw my sprouts are on top of the screen too

Looks about right for 9 days, I'm not a PC grower but I do grow micro and only grow ScrOG lol I love it, you want to fill the screen ideally about 50-60% but on your first try the better bet is to underfill the screen and dial your switchover in a few grows, took me 3 ScrOG's to unlock my timing but it works awesome now :)

To keep up humidity up just spritz with a spray gun and your done or keep the drip tray with a bit of water in it.

This is my setup so far! Standard pc case, propably about 40 x 25 x 40/50cm. Got 2 standard PSU pc fans as exhaust and 1 standard blue light pc fan for intake. Its lined with reflective material from a windshield reflector used in cars the protect the dashboard from the sun. I will be trying to add as many of the 201w mixed spectrum cfl's I have in my signature atm, hopefully I can add everything if I can find the space

I just finished the scrog screen made from chicken wire. Only size I could find, even though you want bigger, this should still work as I'm nog growing a very big plant! Still a lot of work like closing light leaks and everything. I got 3 seedlings going, about 2 weeks ago (1 under 20w cfl 12/12 with my female, 2 under sunlight, all in seedling pots) but before I start my thread on this grow, this is where I'm at

(INDOORMANIA)- Great setup man yea youll be fine with the chicken wire. and yes its a piece of glass did it so my budz can basically touch the glass without getting burnt.
as for the window cover. is it the thick one or the thin one that rips easily the thick one is good but i came to notice that the thin one makes
the grow box hotter. thats why i took it off and used the mylar tape wich is easier to install and i heard more reflective. but if thats all you
got that will be fine your setup looks great man +rep and your welcome to update here at anytime good luck!!

(GREENGROWTHEEXPERT)-
Those white russians look great did you veg at all? would love to see the budz start forming in the future! you are also welcome to
update your grow here too.. i love to see how they turn out and how much you yield. happy growing man! stay tune will update on
saturday that will be my day to update weekly. thanks for the tip on the humidity will try it.. good luck!!

(MATCHBOX)- Great i thought it was looking kinda small when do you suggest i should put it in its last pot wich is the big one in the picture with foxfarm ocean
forest soil, since i am using the ff trio for nutes. So your an experience grower eeyy. thank god i have somone who knows what thier doing if it
wouldnt be that much of a trouble i would love you to stay tune with my grow and guide me through the entire scrogging phase. cause im going
based off of what i have read so i have little clue of what im doing. what i know so far is put the screen down low let the plant grow through the
screen about 2-3inches then pull back down and move it to where you wanna move it to right. and then just repeat. also when should i top and
how many times should i top my baby. and is weaving really ideal i mean isnt harder for the plant to grow if its all tied up on the screen cant
i just stick the stem in each hole and hold it thier some how any suggestions. thanks man appreciate your help and if you do have any pics of
your previous grows/yields please post here thanks. really looking forward for this grow so i hope its a female :) happy growing all you guys
and stay tune for this saturdays update :)

Yeah no worries! I'm not on here as much as I used to be 'cause I've just been mega busy at work buuuuut:

What I do with the training is let it grow through the screen until its long enough to reach the next square, which is usually an inch or so. Pull it under the screen and move it along so it's not really weaved, you shouldn't really need to tie anything anywhere, the weight of the screen should keep your stems down. But the growth is not restricted at all by being tucked down, as your exposing more leaves and side shoots to the light, so the plant grows more evenly and all over instead of mainly at the top colas.

Seeing as you in a small space I'd top once for 2 or 4 cola's: https://www.rollitup.org/advanced-marijuana-cultivation/151706-uncle-bens-topping-technique-get.html
You can usually do it at about 2-4 weeks depending on how fast your plants is growing, once it gets its 2nd set of 3 bladed leaves I think, you can chop the main stem just above that (double check with the link though).

Final thing I'd do is chop your drip tray down a bit (if it's that tub thing) make it about 1-2 inches tall and mount the screen using some screws or something about 1/2 way + an inch or 2 up the PC case.. OR 5 inches above the plant pot tops, because you need to get your hands under there for training, clearing out dead leaves, watering etc.

Yeah that's about it... I usually yield 3oz per plant but that's with crap lights, getting bug problems and the like, my current grow is DWC and looking to be a good yield XD.
