Pot to screen is 10" From screen to light it's 22" (which I can adjust at light) The plants are about 5-6" above the screen this morning. They grew about half an inch over night. I expect them to slow down within this week, my buddy is growing the same strain, except that he is not doing a scrog and obviously flowered a lot sooner then me., but his stretched for about 3 weeks.
I'm hopping that this final stretch will give them a little height above the screen, so that the buds do not grow in the screen, but it's my first time doing a scrog and I'm sure I won't get it 'just right' .
I am not mentioning it a lot, but I daily remove 'undergrowth' from underneath the screen. About 5-10 leafs go a day, which is pretty self explanatory once you see what goes on down there.
I'm also removing any bud sites that will not make it to the light, they are just a waste of energy to the plant.
My enviro is holding steady :) I did start to control my res. temps again at 72-73, without my chiller the res temps were dipping close to 60 and I could swear I was noticing a difference in plant 'vigor' , but it could be in my head as well ;)

They are 6 1/2 inches now above the screen and looking very lush. It is amazing to see how well they tolerated the extreme training under the screen. I will give it another view days and then I'll remove the majority of the fan leafs under the screen. I had a couple a shoots that were trying to get a jump on their siblings but I pulled them a bit back down and crushed the stem, that will slow vertical growth down a bit.

Current Enviro:
Temps 82on/64-68off
RH 40-45%
1600ppm Co2

EC 1.6
Ph 5.4
RO water
Cal-Mag 5ml/g
Sweet 5ml/g
Sensi Bloom 6ml/g
H202 1.7ml/L (every time I add nutes, about 4 gallons a day)
PH down .25ml/g


Here are some pics:

I can certainly say that the Purple Kush is kickin the Auroras ass as it relates to flowering,lol. Not unexpected though since the PK always had pistils, even during veg. I look forward to making it my scrog strain next time around:bigjoint:

A new question has come up. Should I take some of the upper fan leafs off if they are shading smaller bud sites? I'm 17 days 12/12 right now. I wonder if it would do much good or if the plant would just make new fan leafs as it may need them?!

20 Days since 12/12 and 11 days since they started to flower (Auroras) The Purple Kush started to flower within a week of 12/12.

They are very even at 8" above the screen and 14" below the light.

I added a side shot that shoes some nice internods above the screen.

There is also a pic of my new and improved drip manifold, the thing worth mentioning is that there is no more drip manifold. I have far better flow without that 'bottle neck' in my line.

Environment:

RH 45%
Temps 82/70
co2 1750ppm
Res. 73 (I noticed a difference in plant vigor from when I ran it at lower temps)

EC 1.6
6 ml/g Sensi A/B
1.7 ml/l H202
5 ml/g Sweet
5 ml/g Cal-Mag

That's it folks, no more magic sauces for me! Cheers go out to AlBF, Jiffa & the Dr. for talking me trough my anxiety as it related to letting go of the additives:mrgreen:

Did a little change to my 'brew' today. I dropped Sweet for Big Bud. I could have used both, but my ec is already @ 1.67 and I didn't want to cut back on my base nute strength.

My new mix:

6ml/g Sensi Bloom
5ml/g Cal-Mag Plus
5ml/g Big Bud
1.7ml/l h202
1.25 ml/5g ph down

My De-humidifier was full for the most part last night, causing my RH to spike at about 80%, which they did not like :(, but it is handled.
My tops are looking a bit yellow and I may have to give them some additional N, but I'll keep watching it for another day before, could have been the changing environment that they did not like ( RH @ 80%)
This is probably were they take a dive and die on me:(

Overall, they are doing great,lol.
