heres my last pic of my cfl scrog.
This is week 3 of the organic PE grow. I made a lot of mistakes with my first scrog, not enough training flowered too early and used cfls.
Ill have you guys know that im now a big boy and im scrapping the cfls tonight. I have a 400 watt Hps being delivered tonight. all and all i think it will be a small batch of good smoke.

Don't scrap the cfl's, use them for side lighting or for seedlings at least :) Still looks really good bro! The hps will definitely help swell your buds up though!

Thanks. Yeah i was thinkin about doin that if the heat isnt too crazy. my cab is usually around 70 degrees, if it gets to high i might have to order a cool tube.

+1 and reps ;)

That's some sick looking scrog for CFL, the HPS will do a bit better for sure! :D
Thanks man. i just realized how blurry my last pic was ill post just one more for a better view. I was actually quite surprised by how well my cfls preformed. all buds are at least and inch long some are 3-4.5. I just want that extra size that HPS has to offer.

question. im doing my first scrog and i just switched to flower last week and a couple of the fan leaves under the net turn yellow and come off daily since ive switched. is this normal or is it a problem

if you just switched its not normal. as you get later into flowering it is ok to see fan leaves yellowing. check out the marijuana problem threads you might be able to find out what it is there. it sounds like nitrogen deficiency to me but i dont want to just guess. good luck

You should trim everythings below the net/screen anyway. There not getting light because there shaded from the canopy so they will turn yellow and die off.

Hello folks I live on, changing the state is a time consumer! However, I am journaling the largest scale medical production scrog ever seen online.
I look forward to sharing this summer what has consumed me.
Gl all, take care and scrog on!

Hey guys, I want to start off by saying thanks to all contributors!!! I have learned so much from you all. I am about to flip my first scrog soon, will post up some pics in a couple days, all critiques are more than welcome. A special thanks to woodsman for creating such an informative thread. Oh yeah and Endlscycle please change you avatar as it is very distracting, hard to keep reading when that ass keeps popping up.

~An answer from the ol Woodsman~
Time and time again I am asked the age ol question, What method works best for training the plants before they hit the screen, or is it better to grow them into the screen?"

My answer is this: Every plant strain, and even individual phenotypes within that strains genetic line will respond to stress differently. Learing what your plant responds best to, is the best way to answer the qestion of whats best for you. I like strains that do best with LST because it posses the least amount of damage to the plant and has the least chance of infection. If my choice however is a strain that does not do well with lst I will practice other training methods and create the bush that way then scrog. Key is knowing your plant first.

I'm considering springing for a new strain-- previously G13XHaze and Blue Cheese. In light of the discussion of strains responding differently to training, does anyone have a preference for (or had trouble with)--

Vortex v. Sannie's Jack
and
A-Train v. Sannie's Extrema

I tend to prefer longer veg time and less plants-- I have a separate veg area, so veg time is not an issue.

Advice needed on my scrog. First scrog ever. I'm 6 days into flower slash 12/12. I need to know when to let my waterfarm dutch passion skywalker go. Any advice is greatly appreciated :)


The picture of the single top has been the dominant branch all along, its the only top that looks like scrog is supposed to. I just don't want to wait to long and wind up hurting my harvest. Went by scottyball's word on the waterfarm and not allowing the plant to veg once it hits the screen flip to 12/12 but now that I'm 6 days in I'm positive I could of went at least 3-4 days of vegging into it. But not all grows are the same and I cant blame himmmm

I was planing for this grow to be a two plant scrog 1/2 Northern Light, and 1/2 Papaya. But when I was putting the screen on I noticed some early pollen sacks on my feminized Papaya seedling so I chopped her down right away. So this plant is a feminized Northern Light seedling. I'm using a 5 gallon square pot this time, (normally I would use a 3 gal. round pot), and a better flowering bulb a Grow Lux 58,000 lumens ( I was using a 55,000 lumens bulb). I plan to get 3-4 oz or more, dried.
I mixed 50/50 Black gold organic potting mix with Happy Frog potting mix, Not on purpose! lol I ran out of black gold and when I got to the store to buy more Happy frog was all they had left.

Other scrogging news; I just used up all my funds and bought everything I need to build a bad ass scrog room, I'll post some pics when it is finished, but here is a list of some of my new toys!

1000 watt eye Super HPS bulb
Large Adjust A Wing Reflector
1000 watt Master crop 10 switchable ballast
7 foot light rail with 10 RPM motor
8 inch inline fan with carbon scrubber
25 foot 8" ducting
3 adjustable osculating fans
Plywood for window and ceiling
custom made steel door for security
3 cans of spray foam
2 gallons of flat white paint

I will be finished and ready to start scrogging in my new room with in 2-3 weeks, I am just waiting for a few Aurora Indica plants to finish flowering. I'll start a journal then and keep you all posted.
BTW, The Full Moon scrog I harvested a few months ago was awesome, the yeild was low but the quality was above what I expected, I am sure glad I have a few seeds left!
