Just meant should you clone from mother plant that is flowering or still vegging,
Uhhhh?? no bro you never take clones from a flowering plant. Start seeds,veg till you can clone,take one clone from each, seperate clones and keep them under 24 or 18/6 light. flower the plants that were from seed. harvest and smoke then you can decide which clone from your plants has the most desirable traits,make it a mother plant and keep it in veg. This way you can take clones of same height and fill your flower room with potency of your choice... hope this helps...ps there are other variations of this as well

You can, its called Monster Cropping. Once it re-vegs the clone will have tons of side branching. I have taking clipping up to week 5 of flowering and seen people re-veg a plant after it was harvested. All you got to do is have patience and you will be rewarded once its in full swing of Veg phase.

hell yea scrog is the most efficient way to grow. My next grow will be three 1000 watt hps with magnum hoods with a 4 by 4 scrog table under each one!!! my pics now times three :)
Sounds great dude. You definitley have one of the sickest scrog setups I have seen. This coming winter will be my first indoor and I was thinking about vegging with cfls and then throwing a 1000w HPS in for flower.. I was only gonna do 4 plants as to not crowd the grow room(6x6x8). What I am wondering about scrogging is how the maintenance portion works. Do you have to keep tucking the foliage under the screen? Also do you prune around the base of the plant for air circulation? I have never seen ScrOG up close so I have an idea of what's going on I just need a lil bit of clarity and you seem to know what you're doin.

yea i know you can my friend gave me these clones and when they started growing vigorously again they started shooting 1, 2 and a half, lol , and three bladed leafs? I looked it up and it sait was from revegging. Does it affect the genetics at all?potency wise?

Thanks dude! SCROG is alot of work until week 3 or 4 flower(depending on strain) thats when the stretch stops and budswell begins! Then you get to watch as your super energy efficient bud carpet fatten and fatten some more! The efficiency is amazing! there is 0 intense light reacing the floor of my tent! that means the plants are sucking up all the light emitted! I love scrog!!! Sorry harvest time is coming... im getting pumped! follow my az med grow 2012 thread it shows start to finsh my current scrog. This was my first attempt at scrog but to answer your question YES its a good amount of work. well worth the effort though! ps try to just use that 1000 watt to veg as well. dont matter if its hps will work better than any cfl. Intense light in veg is very important for big yeilds.

For sure. I think I'm already subbed to that thread. Yeah I'll probably just use the CFL's for the first 2 weeks of the seedling stage. I have my outdoor going right now and I found my first ever female pistils today and it's on my biggest plant too so I kno where you are coming from when you say you're pumped. I can't wait to see what your dry weight is. Whatever it is I bet it will be loads of great pot. The scrog thing will be great for me also because the ladies all just look so uniform and cute growing in sync lol. And neatness is a big factor in my book

does anyone top their plants along with scrog??
i cant find any info on this
One of my ladies is topped. It doesn't look like most of the SCroGs I've seen, but it is also only 20 days into flowering. It seemed nessecary, once my camera is available I'll post some pics and a video.

you can top but there is no need. the top will hit screen first(of course) when it does just keep training under, till the rest of the plant catches up...in my pics the back middle plant is topped and it produced ALOT!

Yeah thats completely normal and no it wont affect anything. The biggest thing with re-vegging is having time and patience for the plant to full change over from flowering to veg. Good thing to do when you are re-vegging is to keep it under 24/0 and slowly feed again with your Veg Nutes. I got a clipping right now that is re-vegging, looks weird but thats normal!
