Congrats brah!! really nice plants!!
What brand of nutrients Are you using in your system?
I really wanna make scrog in my plants but let me ask, I already have 6 buckets and 1 reservoir looks like yours buckets, but how do you clean your buckets?
Because I'm using the Fox Farm nutrients and special in the flowering time i will need to wash all the buckets between 2 or 3 weeks to remove totally the salt built
How do you wash your buckets with the scrog screen? Maybe I'm really dumb could be just remove the scrog screen but I'm thinking always with I remove the screen will be not a good idea correct?
Have FUN E GOOD BUDZ man!!

I use the complete House & Garden line of nutes. I don't worry about salt build up with the H&G nutes. I just do a reservoir change every 2 weeks or so.

No buds yet. The white hairs have just sprouted. They have been in 12/12 for about 16 days now.

How do you like my new Pot Machine?!?
Day 17 of flower -
I did some major fan leaf removal, pruning, LST & general makeover of my SCROG today. I spent the last several hours making changes
1)Before
2) After
3) I also cleaned the undergrowth. That was a real bitch! The screen is only 12" above the top of the buckets. I know it looks like its a lot more.
4) And hung some FlashGro fabric. I am now throwing 2k Watts in a 4x4 instead of all over a 8x8 room!
I think I just doubled my lumens! I also hung a socket for a vertical 400w HPS. Once they stretch a little I'm going to drop it in the middle. Should help a lot !!! I hope. LOL
Ya'll free free to throw me some +rep !!!

I'm on about Day 18 of 12/12. I veg'd for about 3 weeks. I'm wondering when these girls are going to stretch? I hope soon. Very soon. I need to fill out this screen and then drop in the 400w HPS vertical.
When does the stretch usually occur? Week 4/5?

Hey Dawg, Saw you on the HG thread and came over to check out your SCROG. Nice work here!! Amazing girth on your clones! If these were my strain three of these plants would totally fill the 4x4 after the bolt.
I think the trick with Scrog is hitting the precise time in veg and the amount of plants..dialing it in as they say, don't you think?. I clear out all the below leaf and minor side branches right from the get go in 12/12. Have you tried taking off the below vegetation earlier? This is my second grow so I am all about learning (hope to be this way on my 100th grow too). I figured I want my little clones to put all effort into getting long (and horizontal), of course this also takes away the energy derived from the leaves I remove. My first grow was testing out the different phenos and ended up with three I liked (out of ten Jack Flash #5 seeds) (one now!) Three plants in a 4x4 scrog produced 1.6lbs. filling the scrog 3/4. I have nine plants this time doing it as a full on scrog (w/2 weeks veg), not Flowering out three plants to evaluate potential as my first run was. Still too thick a canopy I think. I don't how Indica produces in a forest but from my first run with a Sativa cross the lower buds suffer.
OMG 2000 watts! You are killing me! CO2 too. You can blast through any canopy! Ahh this is why the fat stems.. I see! Cheers!
I'm hoping to get a bit over two pounds this run which will happen every 9.5 weeks. Although I started veging too early for the next run.. so 6 plants will be the 3rd run. 600 HPS in Magnum XXXL.
I'm subbed! H&G rocks too.!

This is also just my 2nd grow in hydro. Many years ago I grew some schwag in soil and yielded like basically nothing. This is my 1st SCROG so I'm still on the learning curve. I do plan on cleaning out the undergrowth a lot earlier next time around.
I do have several reasons for growing all 6 plants instead of 2-3. With 6 plants my total reservoir is about 25-30 gallons. This allows for easier control of the PH, etc. I have the space, lights and the effort required is the same so I filled up my 6 site RDWC system. My 1st grow yielded 2lbs dry. My goal is to double that yield with this SCROG.
I wasn't sure exactly when to flip to 12/12 but think I may have been pretty accurate on my timing. On my 1st grow I had a lot of stretch in weeks 2-3 and if this grow is similar the screen should fill out nicely. Although I'm concerned it will fill out too much.
as far as temps go, my secret garden (click the My Secret Garden link in my signature to see my setup) is under the house which helps keep the temps down. I do know that I will have problems in the heat of the summer months (June, July & August). Currently my room temps never exceed 90 degrees which I know is a little warm but with the CO2 I haven't seen any adverse effects. The temp at canopy level is about 85-87 degrees.
I also have added a 400w HPS vertical light in the garden as of yesterday. My (2) 6" Magnum XXXL's are mounted to the ceiling and are about 4' above the tops of the buckets and I cannot easily lower them. I think that with 2k watts in a 4x4' space that 36-48" above the plant canopy is still plenty of light. The vertical bulb was added to give lighting from the side. I hope to have a forest of colas and the vertical should help a lot. Checkout the attached pic taken last night. I'm loving the FlashGro fabric also.
H&G nutes ROCK!!!
