Nice setup. How do you drain those?

Drain to waste, I have a tote I place under during watering to check run off as well.
Next run will be completely dialed. Adding a tray to hold the run off tote and then I can just pump it out to my yard / garden with the flick of a switch

Thats to require a strong pump. Im thinking of doing the same. A 1000gph pump wouldnt cut it right?

I’ve been hand watering up until this point using a sump pump, don’t know the GPH off hand though.
I’ll let you know about the 1000 by this weekend hopefully if I can chop my flower room and set up my new irrigation.
I’m hoping since my vertical climb is only 2’ I will be okay. Worst case I go to the hardware store and pick up a little stronger pump.

Well here i am trying to scrog. Seems like a long process. Im A month in and it feels like i still have so far to go. Maybe i should stop pruning and let them run wild im not sure. Any help would go along ways thanks

You can keep defoliating and let them fill in the net. Someone in here, I think it was jay, said that when the net gets like 80% full (I may be wrong about the percents a bit) with indica dominate plants then you flip to flower/ With sativa dominate plants its like 70% (again I might be wrong. Im too lazy to check back in the thread right now) net full then flip.

Yeah man I ditched soil because of growth rates. I use coco and feed daily and I get fast growth. Soil takes patience. What strains are these? The one on the lower right looks like more sativa dominant. The one on the bottom left looks more indica dominant. I have learned with my current scrog, to keep the plants all the same (For example grow blueberry only and not blueberry, durban poison, strawberry cough, etc. Even plants the same strain stretch and grow more or less than the others. Go here to see what I mean (those plants on that thread are all the same strain btw) https://www.rollitup.org/t/cannaventure-6-lvtk-4x4.980797/page-4

Well im growing super lemon haze,strawberry cough, choclope, and Bruce Banner. I guess i could pull the scrog and try again after this one. Now the coco how does that work? Is it easier to work with or more difficult?

Oh by Ive had my ups and downs when I first started coco. Coco definitely has a learning curve.But now for me smooth sailing. I would suggest to hook up a drip system if you go with coco. I would say its way more difficult for a beginner but if you have someone guiding you whose grown in it then that helps a lot!

Yeah man youll have to be patient then. I know one guy who waters his soil mix 3 times a day and he doesnt get any issues.
Another tip, the scrog net I used was a pvc like yours but it was a 3x3 ish. I used smaller string but I was told that you have to tighten the string until its "Guitar tight" like you flick it and it bounces. I did that and my frame bowed in. I already built a wooden frame one like that of that thread I linked. I also put on water proof finish on it because I will run somewhat high humidity in my new tent. The wooden frames are hellava lot sturdier.

So my first scrog was a mess
Did a lot wrong
But I learned more
For my second attempt I've already made mistakes and don't even have the seeds I'm scrogging lol
Thats where I messed up.
Have 2 girls in my flower room
But my flower room is my scrog room.....
I need to veg my barneys beans under the 1k just cause its a lot of hassle otherwise
I digress
My first run I rann3 strains under one large screen
They all crowded one another and I had issues with rot
Think i have a new plan
I'm using 5 gallon fabric pots
Last time i had to just let my run off drop and shop vac it up
This time I am setting my pots inside empty milk crates.
This let's me get all the air flow but now have a stable base. The fabric pots just "melt" to fit a shape so i couldn't put a drip pan under them.
Now I am able to set the crates on top of 2x4's and can slide a cookie sheet under when i water woot!
Also with the crates I built individual screens for each plant this time
I only have 16 inches of play between the top of the pot and the screen but that's an issue for my next run
Still have to string the screen
Have screws every think it was inch n a half or every 2 inches. Cant remember
Looking forward to learning more from this run.
PS.
Havrsted 1lb 9oz off my messed up scrog attempt
looking to double that this run

Shit didnt see your reply. I made a diy version of the HLG 550 v2 for way cheaper.
heres the light in a 4x4 ...
Quantum boards are Ok but I think led strips is where its at. More uniform coverage. The company I got these boards is called atreum lighting. They sell a board and heatsink combo for $78 compared to HLGs $95. Atreum lighting is working on a led strip too. So ill hold off buying any strips until then. Hopefully bridgelux releases the new gen 3's by then too. Well see.

hey everyone
first timer here, day 41 since seed sprouted.
My initial plan was to scrog this run, have been non stop with LST and topping , bushing them outwards.
The closer i get, the more i second guess what to do lol , concerned that you guys make it look much easier than it really is lol
4x4 tent
600w mh/hps hortilux
What say you scroggers?
Scrog these girls or let them grow out as they are?
