wow great info, and to think ive done like literally 3 days of research and watched prolly 10 hours of grow vids... been on here for a half hour and already ive had more questions answered! How do i give you guys some rep lol :D
To be honest the first thing that came to mind for me was individual screens for each plant,but training myself to work with my space sounds very useful. So basically each branch that comes off the main stem goes through an individual part of the screen correct? As for my soil what should i have in there besides the top soil, perlite, vermiculite, peat and fertilzer, is that even a good mix?

So many questions...like how do i keep the Scrog under control and if i dont use a Scrog how many plants do you recommend for maximum yield, size of each plant etc. There must be some trimming involved to allow the whole plant to gain maximum amount of light when growing to taller lengths, when would be the best time in the vegging stage to start doing this? Oh and as i mentioned before i only have 1 site to order from and its http://www.tigerhydro.com/ if anyone has any that ship to Canada please send me a link thanks!

I go into the dentist on the 18th for a cleaning, and then a week later to get two fillings repaired on my front two teeth.
And I have a leaky mitral valve in my heart so I have to take 2000mg of amoxicillin an hour before every dentist visit, and that crap makes me even more nauseous than my leuky pills, so I smoke up real heavy all the way up to the time I leave my apartment to make sure the nausea is under control while they're working my pie-hole.
But, in the end, the teeth are in better shape, so there is that small consolation.
And being thoroughly baked while being tortured reduces the anguish. :-)
I hope you're only going in for a cleaning & check up, and not drilling & filling, but it sounds like they have something in store for you, so good luck!

Right now all I have is Northern Berry and Matanuska Thunderfuck, but both are nicely potent.
I can never NOT think of that movie scene whenever I think of the word "dentist". :-)

You mix sounds good, there are plenty lixes but for the first grow don't get to anal about that.

And yes, you just train the plants branches through the net, when you get a new growth, you just move that new growth along to the next square, and so on. It's dead simple really. Check our Integra 21's thread (no longer posting at the moment but great scrog stuff) Also check out Las Fingerez grow, he loves his mini movable scrogs.

Well I made the appointment myself as I have been getting all my led fillings replaced over the last year so no longerlooking like metal mickey. However the new fillings are slightling different and are actually stuck to your teeth (old led ones where wedged in, which is why later in life the eventually crack your teeth). Anyway, the new super white fillings often do not take, so after a while it gets sensitive, and at the moment I cannot eat on that side so it's a pain in the...well you know what its a pain in. Anyway, after getting 4 wisdom teeth removed the y could saw my arm off and it wouldn't be as bad.

Well i feel your pain Brother. I have a partial for 2 of my front teeth that cost me 1400$ thanks to a drunken Indian and 3 wisdom teeth that are coming in and haven't had the Bojangles to go to the dentist as they prolly have to be removed. Ill make my way there by the end of Aug as usual but i always procrastinate lol. As for being Anal about it all, i probably am trying to hard but i wanna get it right the first time. Im definitely going to read more into the Scrog, as is sounds relatively simple. Ive read that the Scrog method can produce up to 75% higher yields. Can you back this up or tell me roughly how much more you will gain from a Scrog?

Epic, get it right the first grow you say. After a couple of years of growing I'm still trying to get it right. First off I wouldn't use topsoil but for a first grow topsoil would be ok because you have no grow experience. As you learn your grows will most certainly improve. You did one real good thing that a lot of us probably didn't do, you started off with a six hundred watt light. What types of seeds are you using? Breeders seeds or bagseeds? What size containers are you planning on using? I would look into finding some mycorrhizae and some worm castings. Maxicrop and snowstorm can both be used to help promote root growth. Get ya' some unsulphured molasses too. You want your soil to be alive with bacteria, the molasses feeds the bacteria in your soil, the mycorrhizae is a fungus that attaches itself to your root system to improve the uptake of nutrients to your plants and the worm casting are a slow release of nitrogen and hugely alive with microbes and bacteria. I would suggest to you four plants just grown in the normal fashion, straight up, with some supercropping for your first grow just to get the feel for growing and use bagseed for your first grow. Don't overwater and don't overfertilize are probably the two biggest things for a new grower. Get the 'feel' of your pots. By lifting them dry you can then get the feel for them when full of water. I lift my pots every morning to judge whether they need water or not. Good luck, stick around and learn.

No job and as it is said, it's easier to get through times of no money than it is times of no smoke. I'm smoking on the one week of cure morning glory. Very fuely tasting. After this weekend it's going to have to be another break to get ready for another drug test here in the land of the free.

So here's an update of my spider mite infected grow. The psychos will end week five on friday and the two middle plants are a mystery. I'm not sure when I started flowering them, they are cuttings from my previous grow. Herijuana x big white and shackzilla. I think they might be a week or two further along than the psychos.

The plant on the far left is the psycho killer, on the right, deep psycho. My cuttings are in the middle.

I usually have mites by this time of the summer. Not this year. I have two hypotheses; My rampant high humidity is not ideal for the buggers is one possibility although that has now been resolved. The other is that starting last August I began using Dyna-Gro Protekt which is a silica supplement which is touted as strengthening plant cell walls and making them resistant to piercing, sucking insects. The main reason I use Protekt, however, is it is a powerful pH buffering solution which does a great job of stabilizing pH in hydroponics so you don't have to adjust pH more than every 4 days or so.

Anyway, for whatever reason, I'm glad I don't have mites at this time.

I've had another batch of clones go tits up though, this time in rapid rooters. I have ordered a 48 site Turboklone machine and will work with that for a while. Gotta resolve this issue! Cloning used to be so simple. grrrrrr.
