My SCROG "Grow Cart" on wheels

All this scrog stuff seems confusing and lots of work!! I admire your dedication. I just ate two brownies...lets see how effed up I get. I would eat more but my tummy is full.

I have seen some pics of the whole screen hangin' with the whole plant in it. I guess there are a few ways..

That sounds like a good idea too but it would prolly be a bitch to harvest...I was thinkin if you used chicken wire you could open the holes in the wire wider and simply snip the chicken wire around your beauts it not very tough to cut:mrgreen:
 
Hi pink. Its my understanding that with a scrog you would have the stems tied to your screen with all your buds above it. Isnt the idea to get more light to what would be lower buds. If so anything under the screen shouldnt get really any light so it wont develop into much. I dont think youll have any trouble with your harvest. Now to the repot. Im not a fan of repoting. I only do it once from seedling (16oz party cup) Then I go into a 3 gallon and dont repot. I think it lessens the chance oh harming the root ball. Just my .02 hope it helps.
 
well the bitch wasnt root bound and the sand hadnt turned to some impenetrable mass...my roomie and I did it together, she came out of the pot very smoothly. I did gently knock off any sand and rocks that were attached. The dirt was very compact around the roots...

The 5 gallon bucket has about 2 inches of perlite with OceanForest+Perlite mix....the fun fucking part was that once we got her reset in the bucket she was about 5 inches taller than the cart....meaning the screen was 5 inches above what it attaches to so I had to cut all of my strings and untie the rest and reattache her to the screen...so the upside is that all the branches are through the screen and tied down. She had to get a new bend in her main stem to acheive this so it cracked a little bit but some peeps say thats good fuck I dont know the down side is she looks ugly as hell not cute at all...so uncute I cant post the pics i took. Maybe in a few days when she has bushed back out.

Im really disheartened at this point I watered her..but now I dont know how much to water or when to add my nutes back in and with the ocean forest how much nutes do I need now...seriously if I lived alone and my roomie didnt love that plant like I do with the amount of clones I have I would have just cut her down and said fuck it......who knows it may come to that yet....now my stupid screen is full of dumb skinny branches.......i need to smoke
 
when watering just water like u normally do.. slowly, until you see some coming out the bottom.... you will get an idea of how much it takes to fill it.. using a 5 gallon bucket is going to take up a whole lot more water/nutes than before.. trust me.. i have 4 plants in 5 gallon containers... i use 5 gallons of water when watering and 5 gallons of water with 8ml per gallon of Flora Micro/ 16ml per gallon of Flora Bloom... so its alot of nutes! but the plants suck up every bit of it...

that sucks...5 gallons of water see im just really overwhelmed now..i wish I would have just stuck it out with my old pot i was just tripping and i overeacted and now i dont want to deal with this at all

when i saw nothing was wrong I should have just filled her old pot with perlite and put her back in it
 
yeaah i just woke up from a nap or i would have told u not to repot.....have u ever seen a shot glass grow? if u werent yet rootbound u shouldnt have worried about it.. if u were, its possible to take out the root mass and trim back the roots (avoiding the tap root) without hurting the plant...

its like the end of the song by Blue October "Hate Me" I fucked up I fucked up I fucked up I fucked up....
 
watering/feeding definately became a chore when i transplanted... but they are definately loving every inch of that BCuzz mixx
 
u didnt fuck up.. liz is going to grow huge now! and shes going to have plenty of space to do it.. its just gonna take 15-20 mins longer to tend to her..
 
you love to tend to her anyway.. think of it on the bright side.. the soil will retail more water so you will be less likely to dry out

the thing is now all my branches are through I dont really have much screen left for dramatic growth god and its so ugly..
 
or u could always just go get that HPS and lose the screen all together... she will explode if u wait about a week or two after transplanting and then throw her into flowering..
but i doubt thats the route your going to go.. =)
 
when you transplant..i like to water real good then let the plant tell me when she is thirsty. this helps with the roots searching/growing further into the new soil. 5gal is a lot of soil for a plant. you might just want to get a bigger screen and let that bitch grow more. i would stick with your same water schedule/amount and just back off on the grow big a little. the big bloom will help with the root growth. you and liz will be fine.
