:bigjoint:Hello all, and as always welcome to my journal. Please feel free to post whatever you want here.....just don't be an ASS...LOL

I started off with Feminized Aurora Indica seeds. Germinated them in a paper towel, then planted them directly into a 4 inch pot, filled with Black Gold Organic potting mix. I keep my seedlings on a heating mat for the first 2-3 weeks. I use 6500k CFL's, running on a 18/6 on/off lighting cycle. When the seedlings get to about the 5th or 6th node I fimmed them. I fimmed it again in 8 places when the plant reached 4 weeks old. The next day I found a garden rack in my garage, and I thought it would work perfect for a Scrog/Screen of green, so I cleaned it up and brought it in.:eyesmoke:

When I brought the rack in it fit perfectly. Not only did the rack fit into my bathroom/grow-room, but the plant also fit perfectly onto the rack. If I had waited another day or two, the plant would have been a little too tall, and I would have had to put the plant on the floor, instead of on the rack. On the rack I can move the whole rack with the plant at the same time easily. Where on the floor that would have been a pain in the ass. So It was perfect, in every way!bongsmilie

My plant is now in a 3 gallon pot filled with Black Gold Organic potting mix, and she is under my 400 watt MH conversion light, running at a 18/6 on/off lighting cycle. I am and will be using Fox Farm nutes Grow Big, Big Bloom, & Tiger Bloom. I also might be using Bushmaster, Snow Storm Ultra, and Gravity, but I'm not exactly sure if I want to use them on my first Scrog or not.....I'm thinking not. :dunce:

If anyone has any questions, comments or advice Its more than welcome! As I said, this is my first Scrog, so I'm not exactly sure what to expect! Wish me luck, and thanks for tuning in!:weed:

Yea she's really taking off. I bet in like 2-3 days I'll have to pull my first branches back through, if not sooner. I'm still reading as much as I can about Scrogging! She looks bad ass anyways!:bigjoint:

yeaa. I am 1st again! =D lol But yeaa she does loo kmadd good!! and thats why I'm saying.. even it the SCROG is a complete failure.. your still gonna have a badass plant.. with some nice ass buds.. But I think the SCROG will work fine. =) As long as you read up on it.. you'll be good.

And yeaa I'm sure within a day or 2 you will have to pull her back under.. Thats how it was with mine.. its crazy.. watch.. as soon as you pull her under.. within like a couple hours.. you ill already see her starting to make her way back up.. it's crazy how quickly they will move through that screen!!

Yep yep! I* had to pull two branches back through this morning, and I know what you mean by in just an hours or so they move and start to point back at the light. If you watch them close you can almost see them move. OR that might have just been the fat joint I smoked...lol

I did some modifications on my Scrog system today, its much better now! First thing I did was I put some legs on the rack, so the pot would stand higher off the ground. This enabled me to remove the over flow tray from under the pot, and set it on the floor. Now I can water, & flush my plant as needed, and I don't have to worry about my plant sitting in water.
I also removed the top middle green pipe that was just not necessary. With it gone it lets more light in, and gives the main stem a little more room to grow.
After I was done I gave her a good drink with plain water. An hour later I gave her about a pint of nutes this is the mix : 1TBL Big Bloom per gal water, 1TSP Grow Big per gal water, & 1TBL H202 per gal water. I watered her with nutes just until she started to drip from the bottom of the pot!
That's all I have to update for this journal, but I do still need to update my Mother plant journal! :peace:

LOL yea I know what you mean, I can't spell for shit my self. I gave her a week dose of nutes last night and I swear I think I already see her growing. I had to pull back two more branches today. I also noticed in a few spots I see pistils. :bigjoint:

I grew this strain last year.

She had 2 female phenotypes.

I hope you get the good one.

I did start with two Feminized Aurora Indica plants. Both grew very different. One was shorter & bushier with less tips when I fimmed. The other was just a little taller but had a lot more tops to fim. I used the taller one with more tops for my Scrog set up, and I saved the other (nicer one I think), for a mother plant. I have heard that she was an unstable strain! But I'm still really looking forward to smoking her! Later dude!:eyesmoke:bongsmilie:bigjoint: :peace:

Here is a updated pic!

She seems to be growing faster and faster everyday! I'm putting together a slide show and I'm taking a pic every day from the same angel. It should be interesting..LOl I'll post it when its a little further along. I so want to flower her right now, but I know I need wait so I can get as much as possible. I'm thinking 1 more week of veg maybe 2, so she will be a total of 6-7 weeks old! But well see....... You know how things go in the garden. You were going to do one thing, but end up doing something totally different at the last min....LOL we've all been there before right. hahaha:leaf:

lol.. wow.. we really do think ALOT alike.. just like our original plan to plant 3 seeds.. and keep 1 for a mother plant.. and veg+flower the other two.. and start off with CFL's and then move to an HPS.. and now ur idea with the slide show thing.. lol.. how many days into flowering are you?? ive got pics from day 1 until now.. but there are 2 day gaps sometimes.. and I was taking 2 pics each time from 2 different angles.. one pic from right above.. and then a pic from the side as well.. i have a seperate folder on my desktop for it.. adn i just name them w.e. the day is. =)

I just finished checking out your plants........Bad ass! I am 0 days into flowering...lol I was waiting for about 2/3 of the screen to be filled. I think next weekend when she reaches 6 weeks old. Even though you didn't take a pic every day your slide show should still look good....i know mine dose so yours must too.lolo

Nothing new to report! I'm thinking one, maybe two weeks max and I'll start to flower her. Its so hard not to just throw her in flower mode now. My mother plants too, they look so nice...

When do you think I should flower? 1 week.....2 weeks.....right now?

your plant looks healthy so this scrogg is just growing through screens to get more top colas? it supports the branches too real good i bet so you can just get monster colas and not have to support as much. I am going to have to try this method.

I let the tops grow about 3-4 inches through the screen. Then I pull them back through, and train them to go where I want. I don't weave!! This is my first scrog, but I heard that I need to fill the screen about 70% with vegetative growth. Then start to flower, and it should just about fill the screen! I cant wait to see what it dose! I'll keep you all posted!

Nice looking plant; I want to grow some Aurora too. That screen is bomb.. you just had that hanging around?

One little tip: the Foxfarms literature says to go Tiger Bloom when you go 12/12. Don't do it, man... don't do it. When you go to 12/12, your plants need more nitrogen than at any point in their lives. Stick with the Grow Big until your stretch levels off, then go TB.

Good luck..

Yea, I had two of them hanging around! lol A few days before I found it I was reading about Scrogging. So almost as soon as I saw it in the corner of my eye a light bulb went on in my head and it said SCROG! So took it in the house, washed it, and then set it up all in the same day!
Thanks for the Fox farm advice! I will do that. I know what you mean about letting the stretch level off. thanks:leaf:
