MMJ 400W MH Hydro Grow with ScrOG - Conf. Cheese, Super Grape Ape, Chernobyl...

Hey all, I'm running a homebuilt ebb and flow hydro system with Hydroton and Cutting Edge Solutions nutrients, all in a 2'x4'x4' grow tent with a single 400W Metal Halide. I switched to a ScrOG method once I realized how much more efficient it is, especially in my relatively short enclosure.

The next grow will be ScrOG from the get-go, but here's what it looks like when you convert after about three weeks. You can really bend the stems so they fold, and the plant is totally fine. These babies are tough!

All these pics are from five weeks in, starting with clones from Oaksterdam. They are one week into flowering, and the rapid growth is crazy! They are growing more than an inch per day.

The strains are:

Chernobyl, Confidential Cheese, Super Grape Ape, Blueberry Diesel and Sour Diesel. There's also a variegated Meyer Lemon that I nearly killed but is thankfully recovering, and a tall soybean plant. Next grow I'll have even more of a mixture, no need to just focus on MJ .

I had a Blue Dot clone, but it had issues so I gave it away.

This shows the thickness of the trunks after only 5 weeks. Check out the quarter next to the back trunk. The empty pot housed the blue dot.


Comments/questions/criticisms are welcome!

Here's the canopy after training earlier today and a little growout (you can see the nice thick canopy and the low growth below it):

So it's been almost two weeks since my last update, and now the plants are bursting with flowers. Trichomes are starting to appear on the leaves near the flowers, and all is going smoothly. I just returned from a 4 day vacation to the mountains, and the difference is HUGE! Here's some pics! How much longer do you guys think these need? Two weeks? Four? I have no idea, it's my first grow.

Here's a closeup of a flower, 3 weeks from 12/12:

Here's the whole garden, 3 weeks from 12/12.

So... how soon do I harvest? Things are going fantastically well:

I'm no expert but i would say 4 to 6 more weeks.Beautiful grow by the way!

im currently growing my first grow and its confidential cheese as well, I got the clones from harborside, they told me 8-9 weeks. If you have a good microscope look at pictures online of what the crystals should look like, when they swell up like a mushroom on top and right before they start turning amber.
