Cheers ValleGrown, I checked out your thread, looks like everything is going well. A concern I have is using different strains in a scrog. You can run into issues depending on how they stretch individually. I usually stick with one strain fo that reason. My bud grows 2 strains in a scrog with great success, but he makes sure they have similar flowering times etc. Also, weaving the shoots through the screen is not necessary imo, just pull them back under and re-direct. I would flip on the cautious side in your situation, especially since you have all these strains in there. If you have a strain that really stands out give it another go around by itself, just make sure you pay attention as to how they stretch so you can hit the 'sweet spot' on the next go around ;)

8 days 12/12, all looks well. I was out of town the past 4 days, but everything stayed within perimeters. Obviously, the training was a bitch after 3 days of stretch, but other then that no problems. The screen is about 60% filled.

14 days 12/12, they are showing some crowns. No sight of trics though :(
I will not scrog this strain again, slow to grow, and hardly any stretch at onset. I got a bunch of bud sites in the screen. Crazy, since I only trained them for about a week into on-set.

subbed. seen many scrogs on this site that do not look good, more than half the plant over the screen with branching on top of the screen. i am new to growing and watching people do it incorrectly was confusing me cause they said they was doing it right. neway, looking good man. i plan doing a scrog with 4 plants as well.
your style is that flood and drain? is so what size table?
edit: just saw the drip rings, where does the excess water go?

Cheers Matatan, I agree that many a scrogs are not much more then a plant support structure. By far the most efficient scrogs are scrogs that resemble a sog, meaning, not much if any branching on the top side of the screen. It is hard though, to hit that right on the first go around with a strain. Personally, I do not worry to much about filling the screen just 'right' on the first round, I tend to flip a bit earlier in fact, since there is nothing worse then most of your buds hanging in the screen.
My current strain for example hardly stretched before on-set (flower-development), resulting in many bud-sites hanging in the screen. Usually I have to train them well into week 3 of flowering, this time however I only trained them for about 10 days.
I also don't mind getting a little bit of side branching on the top side of the screen since I have plenty of head room. I have noticed that I get larger buds if I have a good amount of fan leafes on the top side, especially since there will not be any on the underside ;)
Bottom line, it is a trial and error thing :)
I recirculate my run-off with weekly res changes. Medium: Hydroton, top feed 45sec./every 45min.
Thanks for looking in, we will learn together :)

I'm going to get some legs in there, but it will be ok I have got plenty of headroom to deal with it. It is too late to put them down again, too many buds are already in the screen. Like I said, the first time with a strain is a learning experience.

Well, you are doing a fine job Icemud :)
I hear you on the fungus gnats, I swear those little fuckers will survive Armageddon lol. I'm in hydro and those little bastards are almost impossible for me to get rid of. Got them under control with mosquito dunks, tried a bunch of stuff though. The dunks only worked once I kind of crushed them up and put them in a nylon bag in my resi.
Are your plants still stretching?

All is well! The dehumidifier is pulling out a gallon a day. The screen ended up geeing quite bussy. I have started to take some of the fan leafs on the canopy, they are just too dense in some places. If I can tuck it out of the way I will, but if it blocks light to major bud sites they got to go. Underneath the screen I wait until the leafs fall off on their own.

I'm doing a lot of leaf pruning, not a fan of it, but when bud sites are shaded the offending leaf has to be either bend out of the way or clipped. Added some top booster today for the next 4 days. Not much to say on my side, they are doing great. The Bubba kush smell is dominant, I love it.

Wanted to mention that I do not cut any budsites underneath the screen, I have noticed that it does slow the plant down a bit. I do however prune shading leafs on top of the screen.

So in the fourth pic we get a good look at what happens to a bud site when it is shaded. Notice the light green color, this was before I removed the shading leafs.
The way this canopy shaped up (smaller nugs, dense canopy, bud formation) is a strain related issue. My brother is growing the same strain with the same appearance.
They smell very danky and deep, anyone who smoked a good bubba kush will know this smell.
BTW, how do I get the pics to show up expanded rather then thumb print size?

28 days: Well, since no one (1100 views) has anything to say I don't either lol, but they are doing great!
