Thanks guys!! I'm glad I can pay back this community with some information. It seems like very little to me but if it helps any one other person have a successful grow with limited space I will be happy. I think both of you would enjoy the scrog technique, I have tried lots of different styles of growing in small spaces and this is what works best for me. The primary thing is that I have WAY less plants to get the same amount or more of bud from.... For me, that's peace-of-mind.

hah hell yeah bro

Sorry if i missed it, but do you ever change the res? Or do you have drains on those trash cans?

I wanna do scrog but i cant find out the way yall do it hydro when you gotta lift the lid to change the water and what not but without fucking it all up

I hand water the hempy buckets every 3rd day. Sometimes I go every other day. The pan just cathes run off. I feed with a turkey baster.

I just had this picture in my mind.
Very hi-tech bro

I'm sure that works just fine SG.
The hempy style is a winner.
Watering when they need it is perfect

LOL... I know! Sooo Hi-tech...LOL. Hempy buckets are just too easy man. Ive tried all sorts of hydro in the cabinets and this is just the least amount or work with this style. I think I seriously "work" on my op no more than 3 hrs a week.

Also, for added information: Here is how I go about my schedule...

1st day: nutrient mix
4th day: nutrient mix
7th day: plain water
10th day: Nutrient mix
13th day: Nutirent mix
16th day: FLUSH

...........Start all over

I forgot to mention above that if you doing dwc or swc you can fashion a screen that is attached to your lid. That you you just move the whole shamole all at once. I have also seen recirculating systems that they change it all out from the remote res. I bet you could come up with something pretty easy

Oh.. and there are drains on the trashcan. They are 2" up from the bottom and face the back of the cabinet. LOL it was late when I first answered, thereby missing half of the darn question..LOL

Imma fan dood . We have limited height space as well and are thinking about doing a sgrog . So after the plants get 3 or 4 inches high you put the scrog on . Then do you just top them or do you tie them over ? I am obviously a noob and have read the journal but there are a couple of things I'm not quiet sure about . Your grow looks great and will give me a goal to work towards !

I usually grow the plant to 4 nodes high (around 3-4" usually) and then top it so they split into two main stalks.

Then I LST (low stress training) or tie them down to the pot. This makes all the smaller branching get bigger and helps the plant to have more "tops".

After one round with the scrog is done flowering I re-pot the one vegging into bigger hempy buckets and untie all the lst I did. At this time I work the plant into the screen a bit. I let them veg for two weeks under the screen and then flip the lights to 12/12 again. so instead of constant I have a break of two weeks between flowering sessions.

Hope that answers any initial questions. If you need specifics just list your questions and I will do my best. OH... and welcome!

Hempys are way easy. I have no problems with root rot Like i did in dwc and growth is better/quicker than using soil. It is kind of a nice in-between

hempy rocks its so easy!

hey you prolly already answered this but, where did you get your screen??? how can i find one already made?

Wow, awesome SCRoG! I plan on doing one soon!

They are from those slap together storage box things at wallmart. The kid ones come in different colors. I just bent mine into shape and used pieces of coat hanger to bind them together. Each piece of the screen is a 14" x 14" square with 1.5" grid.
