3x2' Four 36v CXB3590 @1400mA

You could have been and still could be low stress training to fill the spaces on the sides of the net. Weave the tops through the net "like your making a basket" and get a full canopy of wonderful tops. You still have some stretch coming if you flipped 7 days ago.

I tried this and here is my attempt. It doesn't look that good but I hope it grows more during the stretch like written above.


This is my first time trying scrog. I plan to start from seed, not clone like seen here, for the next run which should be way easier now that I know more about what I'm doing.

Dont be scared to bend them a little bit. Bend a few tops under a twine, give it a day, move the same ones under the twine more, give it a day. Eventually you will have the tops weaved through the scrog net like a basket weaver. Whether you get the canopy full or not this time, you still have a nice plant going.
Like they say, hindsight is 20/20 so take what you learned from this one and apply it to the next.

Looks like she's bouncing back nicely to me. It looks a lot better than it did about 2 weeks ago.

Update: first flowers are starting to develop.

Great job on the lower stuff being removed
No LARF for you! (Thumbs up)

I made some upgrades. This includes two 120mm PC fans (1 on each heatsink). I also drilled holes to tuck the wires for the cobs behind the heatsinks. It looks a lot better and the fans keep the heatsink below 80°.

There's an earlier post that says day 7 update. That's labeled incorrectly, as that was about day 4. Here is the plant at the beginning of day 7.

I flipped on June 25th, sorry for the confusion. Today is July 7, so its flower day 15 in the post above. I got really mixed up somehow.

Day 14 Flower and that's correct. Not the posts above, I miscounted.
Strain: Critical 2.0 by Dinafem

Day 15 . I gave it the first light round of nutes today.

Day 18. I see some black spots on some leaves, can anyone tell what this is, and how to fix it?

It looks like calcium spots. And overall for where you are at in the run, they look like they want nitrogen, a little yellow tinted.
Not too bad, plenty of time to bounce back.

Hello, im not sure about that, i would fill out more the scrogscreen before i would filp to 12/12.
Maybe some other guys can give some opinions too

I'm only on my 3rd SCROG, but i can safely say that your strain (indica/sativa) dominance really determines when you should flip in a scrog.
More sativa dominant plants will stretch like a motherfucker and i would say its better to flip when they hit the net.
As opposed to more Indica dominant strains i would tuck and weave for a bit before flipping.
just my 2cents

Day 20.

Had a good laugh at the miscount antics above, lol

This is the same setup I run, 4cxb3590 at 50W each. I put all 4 of my COBs on the same module, though. Love the light it makes!

Pulling up a seat to watch your grow...

Thanks @ttystikk I'll follow your grow as well, here's an update at day 21. I've worked on spreading the canopy, and tucking the fan leaves beneath the buds. I have been tucking buds and branches to create more tops and I have also been defoliating the tiny, lower buds.

Update day 22 after its bounced back from me bending them under the scrog.




I'm thinking about switching to either two 2.5 Hempy buckets, or one 5 gallon Hempy bucket with 100% perlite, and possibly removing the scrog. Do you guys think this is a good idea judging by how this soil grow is going?

Would you recommend using scrog or not using scrog with Hempy buckets? Thanks

Up to you. I usually tie down branches individually.
