No worries man, ur plan sounds about right. I remember the leaves on my super lemon haze.... huge in comparison to anything else ive grown! So yeh, trim back those sativa's a little if need be.
Yeh she's not toooooo shabby thanks, was looking a little bare a couple days ago after a trim on the weekend but has started to fill back up again. Covering about half the screen at the moment, i doubt she'll grow to the edges by the end of the month so i'm gona have to find another caretaker for her last 2 weeks of flower i think.
Wait until the end.... might not even work!
Its a Polianthes Tuberosa, from Mexico. The seedling in the airpot was the chocolate berry, i transfered her from an airpot into a bucket, and the Tuberosa from a pot into an airpot. Yeh not many ppl do Scrogs this way, mainly cos its a mission and a half, i think its much easier training a plant under a screen than over a screen, but i was going for a specific look which i could only think of achieving this way.
I can't think of any reason why it won't work.
I'm just worried how i'm gona handle her stretch. If i grow her in veg to the end of the screen, when she stretches, both horizontal and vertical branching will stretch, so she might start pushing up against the sides and stuff. As i said before, i've never attempted a Scrog before so this is all an experiment, after this grow i should have a much better idea of what i'm doing for next time round. Scrogs do yield a lot better than a plant left to grow naturally depending on the environment and conditions. I can't see why my method of scrogging would increase yields over normal methods, other than there should be a shit load more bud sites due to how i'm tying her down and pruning.
Just had a quick peek, lookin good man, trim away, u want all the branches to grow to the same height, so tall ones should be bent over and out the way so the ones lower down can milk the light and catch up. If parts of ur plant aren't getting any light, either sort stuff out so these bud sites do get light, or remove the bud site all together. There's no point in letting the plant waste its energy down low making popcorn buds when it can put that energy into making massive cola's. Also if u untie all ur tie's, the plant will slowly revert back to a more natural shape, so maybe keep a few on just to open up the plant. What you're doing sounds exactly like what i did for my blue cheese and sour Diesel grow, check the journal out, might find it quite useful to see how i tried to scrog WITHOUT a screen last time.
At the point i weighed it all it wasn't bone dry but pretty much dry, real weight would've probably been closer to 7.5oz, something like that. Cutting the fan leaves off is bad depending on the stage of growth and how many you cut off. For example, if i've got things right, none of the leaves on the plant now will be there when i stick her into flower, by then she would've grown new leaves, and old leaves would've been clipped off for various reasons. If you stick to clipping the biggest fan leaves off that's shading other parts of the plant, then at least you can be assured that the fan leaf that branch was for has had a chance to grow and utilise the leaf before u clip it (as its now an obstruction). I realise thats not exactly what i've done but i'm gona do that from now on. Clipping off important fan leaves does slow down branching in that spot sometimes. Hope that makes sense... In flowering, you want to avoid clipping fan leaves off, as i'm sure this will effect the size of your buds. Also it'll stress the plant. I'll be trying to keep as many of mine as possible in flower without it being overly overcrowded.
I'm just tying the main cola down along with all the secondary branches that come off it, then i'm tying down the branches coming out of the secondary branches as so on. If you're growing a scrog up into a screen, then don't do what i'm doing. I'd stick with topping and lolly popping. Maybe top the plant to get 4 main branches, and dedicate each corner of your space to a branch each. Should fill up nicely, and a lot quicker than how i'm doing it.
No worries, adding the second screen when i put her into flower so i can train all the vertical branching through it. Hopefully it'll help keep the canopy evenҖҗlegilizeitҗҖ;6288536 said:
Is Cialis a pharmaceutical company? I always assumed so. Anyway its about what-ever u got at ur disposal right? As long as it does the job
Haha, had no idea, dont even know where the fan came from in the first place. Anyway, i really want to veg her out until she's filled the entire screen but I'm going away round xmas time and need her finished and dried before then, so i might be forced to flower her at what-ever size she reaches by the end of the month. Got roughly a week to decide. If i can find someone to water her when i'm away that would be perfect, but every1 i'd normally go to will also be away. Gave her a good spray with this Halo thing so hopefully she'll grow quite a bit this week before i decide what to do
Big welcome, glad u cud make it, sit tight!
Consider yourself forgiven, havn't got a clue about bubblers anyway!
