My grow 2.5, 400 watt hempy scrog, Big Bud x Northern Lights, OG Kush, and Bubba 76

Nice!! Did you put them into bloom already?? Thought you were going to do a three way scrog. The Critical+ is already showing flowers!! I'm guessing that you are just sexing them. Easier if you just take a clone and put it in a box with one cfl on 12/12 to sex. Damn clone doesn't even need to be rooted, just clones in a small glass of water is all. Then the ladies can stay vegging till you find out who is what. Looks nice tho, they are gonna be some bushy bitches Peace!!

Thanks for the info on sexing thats pretty cool, but nah man I'm not sexing them this critical + is actually critical + automatic, it was one of the last 4 seeds i had and the other one said it got to be 6 foot tall, so decided i would go with the auto flowering plant and hope it flowered at about a foot instead of trying to control the 6 foot monster in my scrog, but unfortunately it didn't flower at 1 foot it started flowering about 2 weeks ago...

I've heard that being a problem with autos. That sux!! Well next time i'd go with the reg/fem one cuz i'm sure you will have better control of the height situation, and also choose when to kick it into flower

Yeah i probably should have gone with the 6 footer, it sucks that I'm not going to be able to see my scrog crate system and grow room at there full potential.

What you talking about. Just scrog the other 2 and put the auto up front or in the back between the scrogs. That way all your light energy will be utilized for the good ones and the auto will just be a whatever!! I think you can still turn it into a good show, just gotta have faith in yourself Look forward to what you throw together. Peace!!

I'm sure it will be a good grow I'm just a bit disappointed that all 3 of my crates wont be utilized, i know i was stretching my lights foot print pretty thin but i was going to rotate them every watering kind of like a poor mans light mover and i was very interested to see what the results would be...

I hear ya, but you really can't do anything about it. Just focus on the 2 ladies that will actually do what you want them to and all will be well. If you still have some reflective material, make a false wall and bring the ends in a foot or so. You also wouldn't have to veg so long and still jam pack your area with buds. Sooner you get going the sooner we can see some buddage and your next one with 3 ladies showing the way Peace!!

Yeah i should probably rig up some kind of a false wall to bring in the reflectivity closer once I've only got the 2 crates in there, there's really no point in having them in there now but I'm lazy and I'm a bit short on money for materials at the moment, I'm also not sure how i would put in my circulation fan if i did that... I just flushed my plants today I've given them 4 full strength feedings so far and haven't really seen much nute burn except for a few tiny spots on one of the more sensitive plants so I'm pleased with that, i flushed with 48 o/z of 1/4 strength nutrient solution and I'm going to go back to full strength next feeding.

I have been letting my hempys get pretty dry, by 2 days or so when i water they are like light as a feather dry and I'm not sure if its good for the type of growing medium i am using but i have noticed no wilting what so ever, what do you guys think do you keep your reservoirs full or do you guys give the roots time to dry out some so the roots get some air?

I let mine go pretty dry, i'm sure just to the point of wilting, but haven't seen it happen yet. I aerate my water so it may help bring more oxygen to the rootzone. I've read to let them get dry and i've also read some water everyday. Only way to truly know is to try each. Although for me personally, I would rather not have to water everyday.

As to your circulation fan. If it mounts on an end wall, then move everything towards it and make the false wall on the other end. Kind of a hassle cuz you'd have to move your light over n such but will better utilize your space. I added extra support bars in the roof part of my tent so I can move things around, if need be. Peace!!

Remounting my lighting rig would be quite a tall order right now because of the way i set up the suspension system for the hood, also with the way my door is centered in the middle of my 5 foot wide closet it would limit my access to the space by quite a bit if i moved my set up to the left or the right, but you've got me thinking, I'm thinking of maybe cutting some wood panels to the width of my crates and then attaching them at each end and covering them with mylar, my only problem with this was not knowing where i was going to put my fan because the panels would block it and then i realized i can set it in the bottom of my scrog crates facing up and they will get plenty of circulation. Thanks so much for the reply man, i had no idea how i was going to do it but after reading your post i figured out the solution to the issues while replying to you...

Awesome!! That is definitely the best option. Didn't even think about setting it up that way. Nice!

I just rubbed my critical + automatic's stem and the smell is intoxicating, it smells like skittles...

So today i finally gave my plants a full dose for aggressive vegetative growth, plus a little extra bloom for my critical + automatic, it came out to 1060 ppm 3 tsp grow, 2 tsp micro, 1.5 tsp bloom, I'm not sure what to think about my growth i cant really tell if the plants are growing quickly or not... Also i am noticing some strange growth on some of the plants my Burmese kush's leaves are very rough almost course or plastic feeling they are also bent strangely but it has a very robust green stalk, my veneno has a very purple stem and seems quite pliable and weak the leaves are soft and mostly green, and my critical + automatic still has some chlorosis looking leaves on it I'm guessing this is because it has been deficient because its flowering and i had been feeding some what weak veg nutes.

This picture was taken 14 days ago on the 28th what do you guys think of the growth rate? I didnt think they had been growing that fast but now that im looking at these pictures im thinking its moving along pretty decently specially considering i topped 2 of them.

march 28th


today april 11th

Nice!! Ya i'd say they are coming along nicely

Looking good psilo! Looks like they are getting a nice growth spurt now and starting to bush out.

they've sure shot up mate and they're only getting healthier the whole time from what i can see.

Thanks for your input guys, and yeah i must agree with you guys i think they are moving along pretty decently to, its crazy how much you don't notice growth when you see it every day lol...

I transplanted all 3 of my girls into 3 gallon trash can hempys today, the root structures all looked strong and healthy they were all on the verge of being root bound and the roots balls held the medium together pretty well during the transplant but it was quite a pain in the ass to get them out of the 2 liter hempys a tapered container would have been much better, im thinking that my 5 gallon bucket hempys might be a bit of over kill but i'm not sure if these 3 gallon trash can hempys are big enough...
