Clear anything below the net.that is not going to make it to canopy height So any sucker shoots and leaves. Do it early on rather than wasting time growing out scrap, give the keepers that extra energy. Looking nice in there.

IMG1.JPG IMG2.JPG IMG3.JPG IMG4.JPG IMG5.JPG Garden looking well. Thrips still living in the garden, need to spray bug killer I think but should i do this just before the lights go off? Some really nice colas. Water bottle for scale ay. Slacking behind their watering schedules to be fair, not the best but the plants are real resilient to be fair.

Did not have time to water 2 of my plants last week. Been 7 days without water and they look S-A-D. Hm. Gave them a drink, I'm sure they will rejuvinate themselves. However when looking at the buds on the other 3 plants, they look alot juicier.... Oh well man, life gets in the way sometimes.

Sidenote - How can I feed / water my plants quicker? It takes me like over an hour (about hour and half) to water all 5...

Temps in the tent are decent. Lowest I've had in there is 15 degrees ... gonna put a small space heater there I think on a timer. Normally running about 23 degrees in there most the time

better with an oil filled radiator and put it beside an intake. You need them roots to be at 20c lights off. As for watering don't let them dry out as they will stress and most likely hermie.

As above, keep them above 20c. I use a reptile heat mat and a thermostat buried in the soil.

Ok note taken. Got a nice oil radiator by the side of the tent now, should do the trick.

Plants look great! Watch that humidity in flower! Try to keep it mid 50 or below if possible! It’s not your fault SCROG didn’t work well at first, clones grow strangely like you said and on top of that, bubba kush is a bushy plant! Saliva varieties are usually springier and quick to reach the net. My experience growing from Clone: I only did once, and will never do again. Going from seed has always produced better yields for me, but that’s not to say there aren’t some great clone grows! I’m looking at one! I use a stretchy cargo net for scrog, works amazing. The stretch keeps it pretty rigid, just make sure you don’t get one with too small of dimensions for your tent, it pulls your grow tent inward. I easily found one on amazon that fits perfect for my 5 foot by 5 foot. Keep it up and get more creative for SCROG keep trying what works for you :bigjoint:

Yeh going to give a high yielding strain a go next time , and grow it from seed. So that will be a good mixup. Yeh I've seen them stretchy nets, feell like one of those would of been better. The white trellis netting is weak as hell. Might scrap scrog altogether next time and maybe mainline them? https://www.growweedeasy.com/mainlining-nugbuckets

Smashing it especially for the 1st run. Them plants will soon perk up with higher root temps.

Cheers, yeah they have already perked up. Can't fault the lights running flat out about 15" from canopy. No burn't tips at this height.

Next run should have the 730nm deep red's installed onto the light fixtures. Just waiting on L brackets to come so I can fix them inbetween. Put thermal paste on the back of the diode, tapped the ally, pinned it down with two screws with nylon washers underneath. Just got to solder connections between the diodes and drill a hole either side for the wire. Got some heat shrink tubing aswell to try keep it looking all the same like how you've done it.

Probably going to get a UV light too. Try to keep thrips away after I clean the tent.

Try cucumeris predator mites for the thrips.
Cool what you are doing with the reds. I'm currently looking at UVB supplementation as well, seems like the reptile lights are the best bet, have you found a better option?
