A Cannabinerd's Journey

[AlphaPhase]

Hey AP,

could you possibly take a couple quick shots of how you did your larger, wood framed screen? I am planning on doing some nice Screens just like it for my 8k watt grow, so wanted to see how you set it up. Also, any tips? I will quite a few glue in the grow, so figured would ask ya since you already are doing it!


Thanks brother,

Stay free stay high

Awesome bro! And no problem here's a crappie sketch I put together quick on my phone to get the main idea, I didn't add any braces when I built them but since my trellis is made of bungee material, I should have added braces because I'm noticing some slight bowing inwards. If you're not using bungee material you won't need the braces though.

1x4 for the perimeter boards
2x3 for the legs
1x3 braces if needed (that's what I'd use)

I'll get some better pics of it but here's one I have on hand right now, always put a leg every 4 feet to be safe, I mean if there isn't any resistance pressure it might not be needed, but it's nice to be able to see the sqf of the light by seeing the legs, makes it easy to tell a 4x4 foot print I then add a eye hook on each leg, 4" between each hook, because I use secret Jardin trellis nets (they have a hook at each corner that I can hook on to the eye hook) - best trellis I've ever used. Reusable. Last forever 15-50$ each depending on size. 4x5 about $15 and they make then 10x10 I think

Thanks bro they are about 10 days into flower, but it's showing on fan leaves it's hard to see, I'll see if I can get a pic with the light off that shows it better, they definitely are growing Hella fast now though so I hope that's the only problem but the leaf margins are worrying me

Ah yeah, on closer look I can see what you mean...maybe they do need some mag in some form...doesn't look too bad but some cal/mag would fix it right up as I know your other parameters are spot on

 

[papapayne]

Thanks man!

 

[AlphaPhase]

Thanks man!

No problem bro, if your going to build your own trellis I'd recommend those really thin strip boards (furring strips I think they're called?) and screw them to the legs at the height you want your net to be, that way you can tie the net where ever needed

Hope everyone has a great Christmas! Or whatever you celebrate! Much love to everyone

I have a ton of extra 2x4s though so was thinking of using what I already have, as with the holidays money is tight. But I think the 2x4s will work for what your meaning. I definitely hope to be able to make it nice enough I can keep using it, and thus adjust the net height from grow to grow. Alot of the strains this cycle are stretchy strains to, so perfect for this.

Same to you, boss! .....I guess these days, I just celebrate being alive and somewhat in my right mind! lol All the very Best to you and yours as well bro!

Merry Christmas bro! Keep on growin the dank and hope you have a wicked new years

 

[AlphaPhase]

Thank you all! I hope everyone had a great day

My favorite present I got was this antique brass microscope! I've been wanting it for like 16 months for a decorative type piece


I also got a functional microscope that I can finally get down with the micro scene if any problems arise or just to check trichs for color Woo-hoo!

That would be bad ass! Man, I miss all the science equipment in the lab I never got to play with a electron microscope though, but I can only imagine

Merry Christmas bro! Do you have another thread going? Link me here brotha!

The ghostriders are looking so much better! Stoked! Day 14 and they are starting to set buds. The stretch was nicely manageable and I think the canopy filled out decently


The glue, kushberry and Spog91 are at day 35. I noticed a difference with the glue, the buds don't get nearly as big when the plant is topped a lot. I know that's the normal, but I feel the buds are a lot smaller than other plants would be when topped alot, but the net is completely filled none the less, which is what I wanted

The glue sog is kicking ass this round, they are filling out so nicely and super healthy this time, hoping they put out some serious thick buds again

Here's little video

Hey AP,

Thanks for the sketch, ended up with something very similar, only much larger. Ill get pics up at some point, but its basically 9' wide overall, then three sections, each 6 foot long, with 2 foot walk waks built in between with braces. Was sturdy enough @dr.d81s crazy ass was up walking on it pulling lights down today lol.

 

[papapayne]

and no, RUI has been FUBAR since last night.

 

[papapayne]

awesome video!!!!

 

[Vnsmkr]

I guess RIU still isn't working? Mic check one two

Think its fixed now. Been flaking what I would call alot lately.....

Which ebb system is that? Hoses on the bottom is the flow and grow right. Fo shoo goona steal that scrog idea but i have a few mites may try to eradicate those guys first. Are you still using the pest strips?

 

[AlphaPhase]

Holy hell, is this thing working yet? Lol

Not a problem at all bro! That's awesome remember that the walkways usually will become a jungle (a good thing though lol), do you have a watering wand? Probably the best thing you can have once things are packed in a trellis, I think they are $12 at Lowe's. That's awesome it's that sturdy! Don't forget to post it!

You got it, it's the active aqua flow and grow. I love it because the buckets fully drain so there's no roots ever sitting in stagnant water cheap too! I just buy the expansion bucket kit when I need some more buckets to attach to it, they're only $60 for 6 bucket expansion and I think you can rum 48 buckets. I still use the strips in veg, they definitely knock out mites, but I don't think the eggs, but if you use them right before flower and kill the majority you'll make it through an 8 week flower cycle no problem, I didn't get any mites back until week 7 I think and by the time I harvested it was very minor damage by 9.5 weeks. I also have the two spotted mites which are the worst of the regular mites, so if you just have red mites, probably no issue at all
