Bush Master - 8 ounce |=

this is about the only product that i have heard of that works and will keep your plants from getting too vertical. i dont know if you can use it if you have already started flowering, but if your only in your second week of flowering it might not be too late

thanks sir smokealot i just read the link and sounds mint but can you get this product in the uk,

what would your thoughts be if i surgested that i was going to change from 10 ltr tall pot to one half the size so i could stunt the groth that way do you think that may work or just cause two much stress to my girl. or be pointless.

thanks for the info so fare dude

Ouch transplanting into a smaller pot could prove to be a horrible mistake, root damage is certain. Besides dude it's scrog, just pull those tops that have gotten to tall back down through the screen and weave them out another hole, thats the whole point of scrog.

true true password will try that two was thinking of pulling the hole screen down a ew inches more to may have sorted out A PLAN NOW GEYS sweeeeet thanks........

P@ssw0rd · Jun 4, 2008

Yeah i didn't check the pics befor i commented, looks like you have yet to even begin weaving it through the screen, drop it wherever you want as long as you have room to get in to trim and water your fine, but then get to weaving, that is the real function of the screen.

As a side note in that box it would probably be easier to work under the screen if you angle it slightly so that the end farthest from you is an inch or 2 lower then the end closest to you.

Good Luck

where can you get those screens?

P@ssw0rd · Jun 4, 2008

from the looks of his it appears to be garden trellis netting, any garden center should have it, poultry netting also works well.

on this first grow i used 4 screws with string that i criss-crossed all over but have built a propper one out of 2" wood sqaire frame with chicken wire over the top which i will use on my next grow just bought my new seeds ,

i bought a south african pure sativa called, "south african kwazulu" and a 75% indica from brazil called "brazil amazonia"

has anyone tried these trains or have heard anything about them.......

many thanks for eveyones help so far cheers

I use small plastic zip ties to attach the stems directly to the grid or netting. In that way you can make the space more efficient and keep the bud sites at the same level. I will attach a photo. This is the result from training 2 plants horizontal from the time they were cloned.

GREENBUD · Jun 5, 2008

well the first thing, you should have kept all the bud sites under the screen until after the strech first 2 weeks of flowering, 3rd week let all sites come through the screen. That dont help you now. Just start pulling them down from under the screen. make them all even as best as you can. You want your buds to grow as fast as your slowest growing bud.

green bud.......
dude many thanks it all just clicked what you all ment, me beeing a stoner fool and all, i have built a new screen out of wood and wire and pulled all the heads down under the screen like you said man some the top branched snapped but i have now got a bud sight in every hole, just need to pray that she recovers from being bent and twisted, fingers scossed all good will post a pic in a few days after it recovers........

cheers peace........

yeah dibt try to grow them in a smaller pot, you will just get them root bound and that will just f them up. with a scrog unless your running out of horizontal space you wont need the bushmaster :peace:

mrfloaty · Jun 10, 2008

well here is my up dated pics, i did what was surgested was a bit worrying at first cause some branches would not take the bend and snapped in places, but some tape round the bend and it has just kept on growing, so now i no what you ment let me no what you all think of mi pics.

one last question to all the scrog lovers, with the space i have 2ftx2ftx4ft would you recommend using 1 plant like i have done or use 2 or 4 plants discuss.........

smppro · Jun 10, 2008

Seems like a lot of people are skipping the training part of the SCROG which is the most important and the funnest!

mrfloaty · Jun 11, 2008

i sure did not train properly, untill it clicked the other day with what other things i have red so will be able to suceed next grow i recon but mi girl is looking good with so many bud sights now sweeeeeeet many thanks to all for your advice so far.......

and i think the best part of any grow is the harvesting of some sweet bud smppro haha

mrfloaty · Jun 19, 2008

a few more pics of mi ladies al the nice little buds are starting to fill the screen now cannot wate till next grow to get it right already got 4 clones standing by whish i had grown like this from the start the potential is sweeeet

mexiblunt · Jun 19, 2008

I would suggest 2 or 3 under that screen. Next time. you could probably bring it down a fair bit. the veg time would be alot shorter doing 2-3-4- plants 1/5 or 1/4 the size, and still filling the whole screen.

I have an older mother that I wasn't sure what to do with so I screened it as well. I transplanted it into a huge 10-15 gallon pot so I had room to kinda lay it on a 45 deg angle. I then trained it into the screen the best I could. I should have trained a little more thru the first 2 weeks of flowering as well,But it's not as out of hand as yours was. Also 250 watt hps. I will probably end up putting a little more light on it yet.

Now I also have this Box where I plan to do a perpetual screen grow. right now it's got a purple/romulan (my own cross) that was at least 2 feet tall before it got mutilated into this screen. The box fits 3 of those screen units. my plan is to do like a 3 weeks cycle in there. 1-3 week 3-6week and 6-9 weeks. I will have a 4th box in a veg area training into the screen so that every 3 weeks one comes out and the new one goes in. I Plan to leave a couple branches untrained in the veg cycle so right before it goes into the box I can take clones. I know it not the proper thing to do I will probably do 2 clones per bucket.

mrfloaty · Jun 20, 2008

thanks mexiblunt for advice pictures sweet to, i also checked out your sideways grow absalutly geniuse thinking was diggin that, with this my first scrog i am learning loads so this next grow sholud be alot better, the screen is gonna be alot lower so i can really get some big budage, still conna go for a few oz's on this one though fingers crossed,

peace..........

mrfloaty · Jul 13, 2008
