AK48 coco grow, 1st try at scrog

yo Otis redding, do you think the that coco in a smartpot beats out coco above perlite in a hempy setup? also how do you deal with runoff, being stationary under a scrog?

I really can't comment on hempy as I've never tried it, coco works well for me so i'll stick with it unless I get the chance to grow in a room rather than a cupboard then I would definitely run a side by side :)

Run off is taken care of with a couple of modified oven shelves and big saucers :D

This is only my 3rd ever grow and i only have a small cupboard so my max is 2 plants.
After growing out a couple of nice short bushy plants i decided to put a net in this time and try to control the canopy better so here we go :)

Only 1 plant this time.

She is in an 11L fabric pot with a 50/50 mix of coco/perlite
Nutes are full canna coco line with added magne-cal+ and liquid silicone.
Currently at 1.4EC (980PPM @ .7 scale) 5.8PH

She was vegged under a T5 light initially and then a 250w mh, topped a few times, and is now flowering under a 600w hps

Pics are in date order and bring us up to yesterday which was day 9 of 12/12

and so I've stolen another pic from red :mrgreen:. in my own defense I was thinking of doing the same but with different metal shelving; the oven rungs are perfect. I keep debating whether to do coco in smart pots, or hempy's since I have both containers already. I'm thinking 4 3-gallon hempy's in SOG would make beauts with quick turnover. oh well
 
I really cant answer that, I have absolutely zero experience with outdoor growing but I know you can get some good yields indoors so as long as the weather is kind to you it should produce some decent amounts :)
 
Good thanks, how's things with you?
I'm still running my little cupboard, my latest will be day 42 of 12/12 tomorrow, i'll grab some pics if I remember while i'm there in the morning :D
Thinking I need to scrog again as the stretch this time was way more than anticipated and I've run out of height although I've cut of everything from half way down to try and slow it and also the light wasn't getting that far down anyway so it was all popcorn.

Doing great :) My SB is coming along. Don't forget those pics..I wanna see :mrgreen:
 
As promised :)
As you can see I cant get the light any higher and the one on the left is only about 4" from the tube :eek:
The one on the right is day 42, the one on the left is day 21
