right... i thought with a scrog you kept the plant under the screen until after the switch...
Yeah, that's how its done indoors. My plan is almost the same it's just that I will be tying back the plants to the screen. I'm doing it that way cause I don't know how big these will get and may want to move the branches later, I can just untie it. Unlike indoor where you can just change a timer when you want to flower I have to wait for mother nature. Just like a woman eh?

Gotcha, so you are gonna use the screen as a giant LST frame. Thats what I was thinking but I wasnt sure
They are looking beautiful Cruze!!
I really like your super huge LST!! I am a big LST fan. Keep it up bro!Yeah, LST, SCROG whatever ya wanna call it. As long as I can keep the roof on.
Actually I have always done my scrogs this way. Its a screen and its full of green but you can call it low stress training if ya like.
OK so today I fed the girls and took some cuttings, Probably the largest cuttings I have ever taken and I'm trying out those Oasis cubes. I used Clonex gel and solution at 500ppm pH 6.4 soaked the cubes let them drip and stuck the cuttings in. Some were so fat I didn't use a toothpick to make a new hole, just used the one that is there.
Got them covered, temps about 75°
Cant even tell what plant I took them from.
A lot more of this lower stuff is gonna go, I just wanna see how the plant reacts cause these cuttings were so big the hole that runs through the center of the branch is exposed at each cut.

Definitely growing good now Lets hope those clones root for you
Lets hope those clones root for youRight on guys, Thanks for following along.
Yea the holes in the stems closed up by the next day so that's good. The clones look all wimpy and shit but its only been a couple days. I topped all the little girls yesterday they look fine. Then took a look at last years journal and saw my largest plant at this time of year was 4 ft tall (the blue cheese) all the tangerine dream are at least 5 foot but I'm topping and I got the screens to tie to so we should be cool.
I been looking for a used Toyota Tacoma extra cab, 2001 through 2004 if anyone knows of a clean one for sale in the bay area let me know. Looking between $5K and $8K hope to find something soon, Max doesn't fit in the Beemer very well and I wanna take him to the lake with me this year. Besides, I can use a home depot hauler.

Hey Cruz! I got a solution for ya! Start covering up the green house after 12 hours of sun, and U can start 12/12 at any time of year and dont have to wait forevar till they start blooming...just like growers do with those light depos or w.e they're called. That way you could get more harvests/year also. Shoyuld be really easy with a big enough tarpaulin of some kinda plastic or what not, just to make it dark =) You could start flowering tomorrow if ud like...

lol thats a shit load more work than just tying them down a few times a week. It'd be pretty solid to make sure no light got in there as well I reckon.
Yeah, I'm gonna have to pass on that one. No way in hell am I gonna put a tarp on and take it off everyday. I'm happy with three harvests a year.
It got hot these last couple days, no off shore breeze so temps have been around 100° outside in the shade and it hit 114° in there today.
I gave them extra water and turned on that big fan I got in there and brought it down to 107° I got a little heat damage, few leaves fried but all in all not bad.

yeah its sizzling around here it's summer time
Not out here man, That's where we usually are in the 80's, but we got a bit of a heat wave.
The girls looked a lot worse this morning. I watered the hell out of them and its suppose to be cooler today so we'll see.
... I went to turn on the A/C but no deal. That plant right in front of it, when I placed it there I figured I wouldn't need the a/c till later on in the grow and the folliage would have been out of the way, turned on the big fan instead. They look a lot better now that they got extra water.

Scary indeed. Im sure they'll be good.
Yeah, I was sure hoping it would cool down and it did. Temps in the mid 80's today.
That and the extra water gave them a jump start. All but that one Bubba kush look great and I got a backup for her. Life is good.
Tomorrow I will go ahead and start training the last two, shes about 5 foot now.
Oh, and I got a truck today.
Small import repair place where the guy bought it at an auction and rebuilt the engine. He's a dealer too. Wanted 6K plus tax and licence. So after a couple visits and a car fax I showed up with 5k in cash, about an hour later and an additional $500 I drove away in a 10 year old taco with a warranty. She's pretty clean. Manual 5 speed transmission, 2.4 extra cab, 190k owned and serviced by the city then the rebuild with warranty.
Gets over 25 mpg and its a truck. Shit, works for me.
