Ah I bet it's awesome! - I've been contemplating getting a heat mat (or whatever theyre called :eyesmoke:) for a while now -- when I look at the clones I just took, I get the feeling they must have cold feet lol
Cold feet yes. I bloody cold up here now so I want to give them at the help I can to get going

Lookin good man! I finally found what i had been looking for today, https://www.rollitup.org/t/diy-dwc-5-gallon-scrog.510210/ Thought it might help you out if you didn't decide on final design for your scrog, i had been racking my brain on how to make one connected to my bucket lid in an easy fashion. I'll be building it within the week, I'm only at my second set of leaves so I'll be able to implement this grow
Nice one mate, looks similar to the idea I had in my head, I need it lightweight to be able to lift it to drain water and refill every week, and check PH and EC most days.
That is if I end up SCROGIng this plant, not too sure yet, going to see how she goes.

Same here on needing to lift for draining/refill every week, that was my biggest issue on trying to find something on how to make my scrog screen. I had been racking my brain for days trying to figure out how I could connect it to the lid and still be able to refill. I actually even set a bucket next to my current bucket, lift the plant out(yes, even a 3.5' tall plant with its 1' root ball, very flimsy) and put it in the empty bucket while i spray out the reservoir for cleansing purpose and refill. This will work perfect, can't wait to see what results I get. I got the PVC today, couldn't find the 90 degree T connectors at my local hardware store but I made the main frame with just regular 90 degrees to see sizing and drill holes for net and it's very light so it'll be nice n maneuverable(I'm only going with a 24"x18" net).

Do you do any topping or just LST?

I've topped once already mate, going to top once again on Saturday on all the new shoots, and depending on how big she is I'll then wait a week and put her into flower. If she doesn't get massive i might top a third time.

I've had a set back with the SCROG, snapped one of the main tops whilst LSTing, right on the V. Not a clean snap just a little bit, it should heal up. Just means I can't tie it down.
So I might just grow it out like I did the Hash Bomb.
I topped everywhere yesterday, i think I might top again next week, and flower a week after that.

Awesome how they're growing up evenly!
You haven't removed anything from the undergrowth to now, right?
Yeah they aren't that even now because I snapped the branch, I'm such a dick! lol i'll get a photo up.
And nope haven't removed anything yet, too bushy to see whats good and whats not, at the mo theres 8 main tops, ive just topped again so therell be about 20 next week, and if I top a third time probably around 30.

Just leave it and see what happens. Looks very healthy though after a slow start. I now have 4 out of my 5 seeds up and running can't wait to see how these autos turn out. Also bought a humidifier because with the heater on my humidity is very low

Good to hear mate, can't wait to see how they turn out, got some nice variety! And its so frustrating isn't it, trying to balance humidity and temperature!

Your the 1st person who has said that. I find it really difficult indeed. I also think that what contributed to my crispy leaves with the last grow which lead to a shit plant. Bought a new upright fan as well. I also bought a co2 bag that you hang at the top of the grow room. It's suppose to last 3 months or so. Have you heard of them at all ?
