Thanks man that was a useful info for me :) i thought i need to fill the net first, then put her into flower. Anyways i think i will try the method (same room clones and scrog) as there is no loss if it gets out of control, i can simply trash them. It will be like a learn to clone process, and theres the chance i get some good herb out of it. Oh and a question: do you guys think is it good to use aloe vera as rooting gel, or should i go to the grow store and get hormone powder or gel or whatever?
Thanks, peace :)

I dont use any rooting gel and I have very nearly 100% success. Imo roots gels and powders have only hurt my rates believe it or not!

Aloe is great though. I love to throw a fresh cut aloe in the blender an mix it up really really well, and add to my water and give that to the plant. When I do this I dont add anything else to the aloe water, it's already got a ton! I like to use a few to several inches of fresh cut.

Sound like a good advice :) I have TONNS of aloe at home so i will definitely try this. Also i heard that aloe vera stores the nutes (N,P,K etc.) you feed them. Do u take this into consideration, or just use normal aloe?

Not much happening yet, the fucking cold has been a pest and I have been without dehumidifier for 3 weeks as I had to send the unit back for a repair.
The dehumidifier was not only drying the air but also heating it a bit.

Strangely I only see the purpling you get from cold on the leaves on defoliated branches, so the masses of leaves do keep some heat in.

Not really seeing a difference in the flowers between the trimmed and untrimmed yet.

I'm hitting week 4 tomorrow on mine. Everything is going pretty dang well. Right at about 8 inches from glass to buds an thought I'd have way more issues than I'm having so far..
Having a bit of a heatwave here an temps have been 95-100+ every day. Was 104f according to a sign as I drove through town at 730pm today! Nights have been warm as well being in the mid 70's all night pretty much.

But canopy temp hasn't got over 83f yet so I'm doing ok for now.

That sound similar to my previous run. It gets hot outside, but temps inside hovered around ideal

Hows yours going? Mine just hit week 5 an are doing really good even though I was pretty lazy this time.
I didn't prune ANYTHING under the screen for the first time ever, because I plan to reveg this plant again an wanted that lower growth. Well everything under the screen turned crispy an brown an I think those nutrients an water content went into the tops. During that time the plant needed a little less water. Really surprised me how it worked out honestly.

Honestly, this run isn't going too well, dehumidifier in for repairs and cold as fuck here.
Having the same issues I had with the Flora trio nutes in the cold last year. Should just have kept on running my cheapo shit.
The Flora does create more frost though, but yeah, nothing like the large colas of the last run. Also, my nursery bags were way too small for the number of colas I have.

Difficult to see much dif between the defoliated colas and the others... I would say the defoliated ones are bigger from top to bottom but the ones with leaves have a bigger tip flower, but smaller crap between the leaves.Will have to repeat that on the the spring run. Not too concerned as I have another table ready to flip in a week or two. Might turn everything into shatter or vape oil or even maybe whole plant bubble hash.

Just make a humidifier? Pretty easy to up the rh a bunch of diff ways. Can set out buckets of water, use air pumps to bubble the water, get creative! I personally never had to worry about low rh only high rh.

sorry man, early morning here, dehumidifier.... It is winter here, I have very high humidity, probably 75 to 85 % at the moment... Luckily I only have the 6 small plants in a large room.

Gotcha. That's a lot harder problem to solve.
I only know how to slightly lower RH without a dehumidifier. You can use large amounts of baking soda, I've got about 4kg of it in my room right now. And you can freeze gallons of water and have a fan blow over it. Water will condense on the jug and drip into a catch tray. None of that will do much at all compared to a real dehumidifier though.

Please don’t laugh too hard. This is my first attempt at doing a SCROG and really don’t have a clue what I’m doing. If I read all 327 pages here my plant will be harvested. So I’m just going to post some pictures and let you folks tell me all the things I’m doing wrong.

My setup is a 3x3 tent with four 55w 3500k COBs running 32 inches above the screen. I have her in a 15 liter Autopot, which bottoms her from a gravity fed reservoir. I’m feeding her a nutrient called MegaCrop along with a couple of their amendments. I flipped the lights 14 days ago and saw preflower two days ago.

I’m running probably the worst SCROG candidate for my first SCROG. She is a 7 month old mother plant, indica dominate, from Sensi Seeds called Super Skunk. I’m using a 3x3 piece of vinyl coated garden fencing with 2’x3’ holes.

Here are some pictures showing the damage I have done so far.

I think its more important just to get through this round so you have a feel for it.

I know nothing about cobs or auto pots so Ill just take your word for it. Lol

Other than that
Good luck man, plant looked healthy
In as much of the pic as I can see.

Edit.
Pics showed up. Looks good to me

That looks pretty good for a first time scrog. Next time try to get the plant to fill the screen to about where your at right now before you flip it in my opinion.

I've been scrogging for years and I take a lot of time off from the forums so I never saw this tip until very recently, but wrapping the branches around the wires of the scrog is a really great thing to do. I highly recommend doing it on your next run.
I would also recommend the next size up for your container, a 20 liter or even a 30 liter.

How you like the mega crop?
