The Scrog Club

[Heads Up]

Integra my dear sir, as long as the herb it's from is decent? Now I know my grows are not up to yours, few are, but as long as the herb is decent? Are you implying I'm growing dirt weed? If you're ever in florida on vacation, give me a heads up, I'll be happy to share some of my smoke with you, it would be a pleasure.

OK, onto the serious side. I'm only kidding integra, I would really appreciate a pic tutorial for the hash, a little description with the pics would be great. Also, I am going to blend the two together, I don't really plan on doing much of anything after smoking some good hashish. Really, I was kidding around in the beginning there.

 

[Integra21]

yeah, That comment wasnt aimed at you, Ive seen your shit and it looks good, I was refering to the unknown sativa from your buddy. Might start it tomorrow. You have bubble bags right?

 

[Heads Up]

Yes, I have bubble bags. I got the five bag, five gallon set.

Hey guys really interested in ScrOG setup and was wondering if it is worth it/possible to make ScrOG setup in a 2.5x2.5 closet growspace? Thanks

 

[WolfScott]

I would for sure! My scrOG is only 2 foot x 3 foot works great for me! I would use 2-4 plants next time though, this time I only used one plant and the veg time was 7 weeks! Good luck!

 

[Promitius]

Here's my first grow. Not using a SCROG per se, but im using several plant grow through supports.

how do you guys harvest?

do you clip off each bud from above the screen?

 

[WolfScott]

lol I'm about to harvest my first scrog and I was wondering the same thing. I was thinking of hanging the whole thing up screen and all !

 

[Integra21]

When I harvest, I simply cut the branch right below the screen and lift that branch/bud out. I usually cut 6-10 at a time and trim and hang them, then go back and cut 10 more. Its not much different than a regular harvest.

Integra, I'm planning on using a four foot wide by six foot long screen for my first scrog. I'll be attempting to grow a neville's haze and a hawaiian snow, both are supposed to be huge plants capable of reaching seven foot indoors. I'm going to be using ten gallon grow bags rolled down so they are not real deep but very broad for the roots to branch out. Do you top your plants or just let them keep growing a main stem in your scrogs? Do you think two huge plants will be enough or do you think I would need a third to fill in the screen? Any opinion would be appreciated.

Unless they're monsters when your putting them in, I would go with three. I do not top any of my plants, its pretty much counter productive to do so. As soon as the tip hits the screen and the tip is trained sideways, all of the other branches will bedin to grow like crazy, giving you the same hormone shift that topping does, but without loosing a tip in the process. Any other questions, feel free to ask.

 

[Heads Up]

OK, thanks for the answer. Next question. How long do you usually veg your plants before flipping them into flower? Do you go more by time or more by how much of your screen is filled in before flowering? How much of your screen do you fill in before flowering?

I veg my plants for 3-5 weeks. Thats From the days they're cut, not catual veg time. I use 6 small clones appro 6-8" tall to fill out my 3'x4' screen area, or I use 3 16"-20" larger clones to fill the same area. I veg in a different room, so when they go into flower, its their first day in the screen. The usually fill out about half the screen with the larger girls, and Are about the same with the smaller ones, but usually they are just beneath the screen or only have an branch or 2 above it when they get put in. Plants grow pretty fast and fill out the screen well, unless you have a 100% indica, which I would stick with the 6 at about 12" when flowered to fill out a 3'x4' area.

 

[Heads Up]

Well I'll be growing from seed. The beans are feminized so I'm pretty confident they'll turn out female. I'm thinking of putting a laughing buddha into the mix to insure a full screen which will be four foot wide, five or six feet long. I'm not really concerned about the veg time, I would actually prefer to veg them long enough they are showing pistals before flipping them into 12/12. Figuring these sativa dominant strains will double in size after the flip, should I only fill the screen half full when I do flip to 12/12?

 

[Integra21]

Heres a small update. Getting the room all fired back up. I running 4 Piss clones(the strain I grew outdoors) on the left side, and I'll be putting some more Blue Kush clones in on the the right soon. I put the piss in and left the lights on 24hrs to let the girls get used to their new environment and recover from the root damage they suffered trough getting from my clone tub to the flower tub. I'll have more info on the next update when both sides have plants and the light cycle has started

And here are some shots of the Blue Kush after it has been curing for about a month. Truely killer herb. An incredibly strong Taste and smell that is musky and sweet with an almost citris hint but not really fruity. Burns your nostrils a little when breathed deeply. The Kigh is a good balance of a strong high with a strong but uplifting boddy buzz. A true pleasure to smoke.

Does anyone here scrog outdoors? I was thinking to give it a try?

depending on ur space it could b a great idea. especially to keep things lowkey (below fence line etc)
just make sure u understand the summers soltice and when flowering begins in ur region. and if u have sativa or indica or hybrid etc.




Integra- how u liking the Hanna meter? i have their combo meter stick but was considering upgrading to the hanna 24/7 reader like wat ure runnin.

 

[BooMeR242]

maybe i should include sum pix of wat im experimenting with as well...

construction

first day of flower;

 

[Grizzdude]

When do I stop training along the screen? Like 2 weeks before flower or what?

 

[Integra21]

That shit looks sick Boomer. Nice setup, I had dreamed of doing more and my idea looked a lot like your room, but I am very limited on space right now. I liked your old sig pic better. As far as the meters, I grabbed them because I was sick of waiting for the readings ever day, but the give very different readings on my nutrients than the old meters. I calibrated both the old and new, and the old was reading what it always read(calibrated normal)but the new leave in one was showing the ph .4 higher than the old meter, and the ppm 250 higher than the old one. I checked both new leave ins and they had the same readings, but the old ones were still completely off. So Im kinda trusting the old ones since they did me right in the past, and I wating to see if I want to recalibrate the new ones to the old ones or go with the new readings. Otherwise the probes seem of decent quality, the lcd is backlit but very dim, so Im not to worried about it. The blue lab meter is a green backlight and the hanna is kind of orange, so that is in a better spectrum, I give a btter report when Im not so high and I have a little more experience with them.
