View Full Version : Tiki's 2nd SCROG
tikiroom
01-24-2011, 05:38 PM
This will be my second time growing SCROG. The first is currently about four weeks in flower. (There is a link in my signature if you're interested.)
I am doing this log to track the outcome of several changes that will be made for this grow. Everyday is still a learning experience with the current girl in flower.
Trying to take what I've learned and put it to good use. :thumbsup:
This first round of pics will focus on the construction phase.
The closet unit that I built is 24"W x 36"L x 48"H. It is split into two different areas. One is 24"W x 24"L, this will be used for cloning and vegging. The other is 24"W x 12"L, this area will be used for moms and propagation.
There are two 4" can fans, one in between the two rooms and one for exhaust. The fan in between the rooms is run by a converter that puts out 12V DC.
The other fan is ran by a converter that puts out 16V DC. I did this to overrun the second fan to insure that both rooms have negative pressure.
The light that I built consists of a 100W hps and two 27W daylight cfl.
The final pic is of the DWC tub that will be used for her second and third stages of training. (The idea I have in my head will consist of four different stages of training.)

Now for the girl of the hour. :jointsmile:
The main changes I will be making for this grow are; nutrient lineup, training method, and I will only be doing three reservoir changes for the entire grow cycle.
For the nutrients I will be using Advanced Nutrients. Decided to see what all the hype is about. (So far I have to say I am impressed with the look of the roots.)
The only additive that will not be AN is Pro-Silicate from GroTek.
This girl started out from a cutting taken on 12/22/2010. She started showing decent roots around 1/10/2011, and faster growth around 1/12/2011.
For timeline purposes I am calling today 12 days vegetative growth. The only training done so far has been the removal of a few lower branches.
The Soup:
Tap water (200 ppm)
3 ml/gal Pro-Silicate
5 ml/gal Sensi Cal Mg Mix Vegetative
5 ml/gal Voodoo Juice
5 ml/gal Grow
5 ml/gal Micro
5 ml/gal Bloom
PPM = 1000
14 days of continuous res so far. (Currently only done one top off of res with straight ph'ed water.)

Just took off two more lower branches and fan leaves. (I cut off the fan leaves because they were damaged from the cloning.)
She also got fimed at 6 3/4".
First two pics are of just before she got fimed.

The chicken wire is not going to be the final screen. It's just a training screen.
The final screen will have much larger openings.

01-25-2011, 07:06 AM
Thanks bro! :S5: just a tad over 1000g wet off of 2 plants, bit low for that strain, but not bad.....
The chicken wire was kinda what I was thinkin,.... Train Vege to that screen to maximize the # of tops,... then let it vege up all those tops into a looser screen and train stretch to that one allowing max # tops per square foot :cool: :hippy:
Well,.... that was what I was thinkin when I was plannin a similar setup, :o Not tryin to impose my ideas on ya. ;) This sounds EXACTLY like I was initially planning with my first grow,.... problems got in the way tho. :(
I'd love to see how it would turn out if I'd have done it! :pimp:

Lynhal thanks for letting me know I'm entertaining. ;)
Decided today was the day that she got transplanted into the larger tub.
So I ended up going 19 days on this res. The water was still nice and clear, and the roots are simply amazing. Here's to saving money on nutrients! :thumbsup:
Well I finally made my first newb mistake on this grow. :(
When I was calculating at what height to fim my girl, I forgot about one key thing. Inter-nodal stretch!! :mad:
Needless to say the main stem is taller than I wanted it to be. It's going to be a tight squeeze from here on.
She also got introduced to some bondage today. :giggity:

But I have an idea in my head, and once that happens there's no stopping me. :jointsmile:
My goal is to have four "main stalks" to be trained, with a super highway supplying nutrients to them. Whether or not this works out we shall see. :cool:

What's your light cycle for vege? internode spacing and density of the top node look like what I get if I leave a girl under my 24-0 T5 array for quarantine?
If so, might try dropping back to a 18-6 to encourage a slight bit more node spacing to make her easier to train.
Just a :stoned: thought

I am really impressed with general vigor and robustness of this clone.
The stalks are "bulking up" really fast, and some of the fans are as big as my hand! And getting bigger! :eek:
I'm not sure if it's the Advanced Nutrients, the different lighting, or a combination of them both.
Then there's also taking into account for the learned lessons (With the help of the great canncom community.) that have led to a better growing environment and practices.
Whatever it is I like it! :thumbsup:

Hey malus69,
Welcome along for the ride.........well it feels like a ride to me with all these ups and downs. :D
canniwhatsis,
I have been wanting to get some 3"x3" sized screen, but the only thing I've found so far that comes close is chain link fence. :(
Well I finally made my first newb mistake on this grow. :(
When I was calculating at what height to fim my girl, I forgot about one key thing. Inter-nodal stretch!! :mad:
Needless to say the main stem is taller than I wanted it to be. It's going to be a tight squeeze from here on.
Well what I was worried about happening occurred this morning.
When i was pulling growth back down under the screen one of the main stalks broke right in half! :mad:
I have tied it back together as best I could, but I'm not too confident that it's going to make it. :(
In retrospect I should have removed the screen and properly taped it back together, but it's too late. What's done is done.
We will see in the next couples days how she turns out. Hope I don't have to rethink my training strategy for three main stalks now.
These pictures were taken roughly about 8 hours after the incident occurred.

Well the affected branch is still growing strong. It did not heal up the way I had hoped.
She still can hold herself up, but I don't fully trust it. So there is still one tie on her for support.
It has been hard training her due to the shear size of the stalks.

I'd like to see it updated with PP-L info. It would help a lot of people...
So far I have only built three fixtures from scratch. The first one is the one being used for vegging this girl. (100 watt HPS and two 27 watt daylight CFL in a home made reflector.)
I did a mini log on this light. http://boards.cannabis.com/indoor-lighting/194123-opinions-my-light.html
The second currently is not in use, but it is the cheapest one by far. (8 CFLs in a home mode reflector utilizing a power strip.)
The third I designed to be used with my bonsai mother plant. I tried to go for bare minimum lighting in order to keep growth real slow. (Three 15 watt 18" T8 bulbs in a home made reflector.)
I do not have any experience with PP-L lighting, but if you have any questions or think some of this should be in that sticky let me know.
I would be glad to pass on some knowledge. :hippy:

Sorry - I thought you used PP-Ls. How are the T8s working out for your mother?
I'm looking to light my mother / clone cab. I'm leaning towards PP-Ls and find there is a real lack of info on DIYs so I thought I'd try to drum up some interest.
tikiroom
02-13-2011, 12:43 AM
The T8's are working great for my purpose. The growth is at a snails pace. :D
Here's a couple pics of my mom setup.
I remote mounted the ballast for the light, and that is a regular BIC lighter for scale in the last two pics.
She is from the same clones that the girl in this log came from.

02-13-2011, 01:13 AM
Wow that's an awesome little bonsai. Well done.
My issue is that this will house both clones and bonsai moms so I want something that will grow my clones at a reasonable pace too, hence the PP-Ls. But now that I give it a bit of thought I'll put lower watt bulbs on the mom side of the box. The cab is 20" D x 55" L x 40" so there should be plenty of room. Thanks for posting up those pics.

After seeing what mine did, I am betting on it. You need a bigger screen! You might have to build a new room onto your house because you have a monster on your hands! It looks great, but OMG, it is going to double in size when you flip the switch!

This screen has an area of just over 3 square feet. The screen in the flowering room has an area of 8 square feet.
With that in mind. When the small screen is at 100% it will only cover about 40% of the total square area of the flower screen.
At least that was my goal. We shall see how this whole thing plays out.
Either way I have a feeling that here in about a month it is going to get very interesting. :smokin:

Finally got all the improvements done to the flowering room. It was a tight squeeze but everything fits! :D
The major changes were to the lighting and exhaust. I also made a combination temperature/humidity controller for the main exhaust fan. (Previously the fan was controlled by a timer.) Cost me about $40. :thumbsup:
This morning I removed the screen before the lights went out. When the screen was on she was 9" tall and 23" wide. After about twelve hours she had already reached back up quite a lot.(You can see how much she changed in the pics.) I was anticipating this so I set the new screen a few inches higher to help her spread out some. She was a little too dense. :jointsmile:
When I transplanted her into the new system, the reservoir was just ph'ed water and Voodoo Juice. I ran this for about two hours before adding the rest of the nutrients. My idea for doing this was to release any built up salts from the roots.
This reservoir went for a total of 41 days. You can tell from the pics that the roots are very healthy. :smokin:

She looks very happy and is definitely a monster! I love how your experience with the SCRog is showing here, and it has told you to extend her upwards a bit. That sounds like a good call because she looks like a screen filler for sure! The new room looks very well designed. The fan/filter system looks like it can definitely handle things. I love most your efficient use of vertical space in there, designed toward SCRogging. I also want to thank you for all your precise reservoir information throughout this grow. Your information is filling in the gaps I had in understanding how liquid systems work and your work is helping me to get over my fear of the learning curve involved in considering hydro as a long term move toward efficiency in my own grow room. :)

Tiki quick ???? for ya, if you are using GH nutes why did you go with Big Bud instead of Koolbloom?
I keep looking at your top offs and cant imagine using the amounts that you do. Just refilled res last night and it was 50ml/100ml/200ml (micro, grow, bloom) and 200ml Koolbloom. I dont think I can measure small amounts that you do hehe :)

All the nutrients are Advanced Nutrients, except for the Pro-Silicate which is GrowTek.
For measuring small quantities I use a 5ml medicine dropper. :thumbsup:

This sounds like fun. So, how much butter in the batch? The normal amount? And, was this from all of your trim, to I am assuming, a 1lb chunk of butter?
you know me... scientist... cant help it... details details .. lol

Emmie,
Yeah I used all my trim (including the tiny popcorn buds) and one pound of unsalted butter to make the cannabutter.
For the cookie recipe i used a ratio of 3:1 cannabutter to regular butter.
I had half of a cookie a couple hours ago, and this seems to be just the right dose for me. :smokin:
The only problem is they taste so good I want to eat the whole batch!!:eat:.....:microwave:
