Not a basement but the day temps are 75-80 and the night temps are 68-70. This ac could be used for a much bigger op

whodat- i think youll be just fine with starting them on the flower tea once they flip. some growers like to start their bloom nutes late in veg just before the flip and some growers continue veg only nutes until they stop stretching, like integra was doing. either way the results seem to turn out about the same and im sure your going to be pulling some killer buds! still running the sour diesel and the crystally strain?

Thanks LittleG I'm actually going to cut about 10 clones of the sour d mom tomorrow and throw away the rest of her, shes getting way too big and has spider mites.
Still got the mystery crystal growing in veg and she is curing nicely too
oh btw what's up with integra? did he get back on riu? He sure could rock the fukk out of a scrog

Hey Whodat, looks good with those plants in there.
How many plants are there in the last pic you posted? I'm getting ready to do my first scrog at the new spot under a 1K HPS and am trying to do some figuring on how much space to allow for each plant in a scrog. I will be putting between 5 & 9 plants under it and it's on a light rail so I have up to a 4'x8' area to work with. Four of the plants are pretty good size and the others are average. I'm going to give each of them their own screen since they're mixed strains and will have different flowering periods. Just going to butt the frames of the screens together.

I'm basically trying to decide how big to make each screen. First thought was 2x2 but when I put one together it seems awfully big. Any suggestions on screen size for each plant? I may only use two of the bigger ones and will most likely Supercrop those when I put them under the screens to spread the tops out a bit.

Hey thanks dez I got five plants in the last pic but feel like I could prob get away with only three in the 4x8 because they are kinda big and bushy. I guess the screen size all depends on how much that particular strain will stretch during flower ya know.
With different strains going at different times Im thinking the light hight could become an issue, but thats nothing a strong shelf or table couldn't fix I have a feeling a 2x2 scrog could fill up quite nicely with one plant, but this is my first try at scrog so dont blame me if it doesn't fill in lol.

Already had to tuck several tops and branches over to spread out... I think its going to fill in a little too much lol! What ever im just gonna roll with it and see what happens
You can also see I have allot of trimming to do underneath the screen but I'm going to do this over the next two weeks.
The last two pics are of the vert side

WhoDat

Thanks! I'll def blame you ,haha!
Not really but I think I'll stick with the 2x2 screens. I just nee to decide which material I'm going to use for the screen I guess. Yours looks like metal that's powdercoated or painted which would be good I think. I've got a few options with stuff I already have, I just can't make up my mind.

by the looks of those first three pics, you could have been safe going with just three of those plants! going to be a really filled screen thats for sure! spider mites are definetely a growers worst nightmare...controllable but extremely hard to get rid of completely. im still real curious about those no pest strips ppl were mentioning over in the 600 club. integra unfortunately hasnt posted for quite sometime, that i have noticed atleast. last i remember hearing was he possibly would try growing at a friends to let the cops chill or even move to another location. he sure was a master at scrog and hydro!

I put up one of those 'Hot Shot' strips and in a few hours started seeing dead bugs on the floor and in the drip trays. I didn't realise I had any gnats but that's mostly what I find dead in the rooms. The Spider Mites have been non existent ever since the day I put it up too. I haven't sprayed my plants since then and am very happy about it. I never liked the idea of soaking the plants with stuff since it's not like you rinse them off when you harvest, you know? I was using organic sprays but still...

got some dank curing Sour D and ? purp. I got the co2 up and running so I picked up the day temps to 78-85 and the night temps are to be determined... Also got some lollipoping done today with a lil more to go.



WhoDat

Very nice man. I wish mine were that big to start out with...maybe on the second run though. The ones I'm putting under my screen tonight or tomorrow are much smaller than that. The bigger ones are really bushy but not tall like yours. They're all in 3gal containers.

I got the area set up today by putting a frame on the floor with some uprights to support the frames that have screen attached. There's a 4x4 and four that are 2x2 so they fill the 4x8 area. I went with the plastic fence material from Lowes for a first run and if it sucks I'm going with the metal stuff you have.

lookin good whodat keep it up man

Thanks for the tips on the strips I'll have to decide between those or spider mite predators because I don't think I can use both at once lol.

Thanks pit

Very impressive. The metal you are using for the scrog screen - is that the stuff they sell for reinforcing concrete?

id go with lady bugs personally alot better than chemicals in my opionion

ya i like to spend time in my grow room at plant level and some guys were saying the chemicals are bad if inhaled by humans in significant amounts. i second the predator mites since you seemed to be happy with the effect they had last grow. DEZ does make the strips sound pretty convincing though haha. i can almost smell that sour D and that purps mystery looks caked with trichs! the screens plants look nice and cleaned up.

no, but I do use some of that stuff for hang drying though. I got this screen at homedepot, it says its vynel coated 2"x3" welded screen. Nice and sturdy

The predators work but they are kinda pricey, I'll have to compare the effectiveness and price to some ladybugs.

durban trees and bb haze scrog mmmmmmm





Also got some pics of the ballasts and controller.

Nice pics. I'm hoping my screen will fill in.

I put the Cat Kush, the bigger Headband and the White Widow in the 4x4 area and then gave each of the other four (1 Headband and 3 Afghan Kush) their own 2x2 screen since they're smaller. I propped them up on cinder blocks and they're all either touching the screen or within an inch of it and turned on the light and light rail a couple of hours ago.

Sounds good dez, hope they fill out nicely.
Im starting to think that my plants wont fill in as much as id hope...

Im enjoying spending the time with the plants while training them
scrog is fun so far, now lets hope it yields well.

looks like you filled the screen nicely. I think you'll be very pleased with the results.

Looking good Whodat! I started pushing the tops down under the screen on all but one of the plants in mine so far. It was the smallest of the bunch and will be through the screen in a day or so I think. I sure am nervous about filling out my screen though, not sure they'll be able to get it done.
I was thinking of taking the other two moms over there and sticking them in there too just to be sure, lol. Like one of the bigger plants for each of the four 2x2 screens and then the five small ones under the 4x4 screen in a 'X' pattern. IDK, I might just be over thinking it...
