Jock Horror SCROGG

[britewire]

Peeps,

Second thread already and I'm getting the hang of it now. I ordered 24 seeds of Jock Horror strain from Nirvana seeds and got them today. I decided to show you people how I SCROGG a plant that has a 11 week bloom. I'll FIM the plants twice and when I'm satisfied about the plants size I'll put them into bloom.

The nutrient scematics I'm using this time is based on building the EC (PPM) slowly to a EC of 1.9/2.0. Last time with the powerplants I used a very agressive style of feeding the plants, wich resulted in a lack of chalk in the soil. But basicly I'm using the same nutrients as last time, wich are:

Veg:

Rhizotonic rootstimulator
NO MERCY, CO² tablets
AN, Voodoo Juice
AN, Pirahna beneficial fungi
Plagron BIO soil.

Bloom:

Canna Terra Flores
NO MERCY, CO² tablets
AN, Voodoo Juice
AN, Pirahna beneficial fungi
Canna Booster (PK-13-14)


The pic is an example of the Jock Horror strain.

Looks like this will be a nice thread. Cool strain. Keep a close eye on the plants though. As you know, this jock horror strain may respond differently to the nutes.

This is what 1.25 grams/Watt looks like using scrogg.

(all credits go too Sannie :) )

So I'm prepping for the next grow while the powerplant (pp) grow is still going good. I build myself a scroggnet al out of materials that can stand the humidity levels and such. The little clips you see in the second picture are for bending the plants on the wire so I can create a sea of green on the nets and the only thing getting enough light are the buds.

The lamp in the picture is are CFL light I brought home from work. I'm gonna use those for germinating the seeds. :thumbsup:

SO, britewire, I must ask; I noticed that you are not using nutes in veg...Is that because of the Plagron BIO soil has all the nutes/minerals you need?
Love your choice of additives...
I am going to check this thread out dude. Looking forward to seeing your results, and learning something.

[britewire]

Hey latewood (always enjoy reading your threads),

A lot of people make the mistake of overfeeding in VEG fase. The plant doesn't really need a whole lot of nutrients in that fase. The nutrients in good quality soil is enough for a 3/4 week veg (from clone).

[latewood]

OK, that's what I thought...Just wanted to clarify. thanks.

[britewire]

So here's a short update on the preparations and planting of the Jock Horror seeds from Nirvana-shop.com.

I got myself some germinating tabs from our local garden shop and put the in water for about 10 minutes in PH6.2 water to expand. I'm not using any additives at germination cause they're to weak to process it in the next week or so. I put the tablets on a special seeding soil in the propagator, hood over it and the lights on top of that. I connected the lights too a timer witch is set on a 18/6 cycle.

and finally, I've started!

[carnagethakilla2]

please dont get mad at me......but what is scrogg?.......i notice sum of the scrogg grows have chicken wire/cage-like stuff.......can u guys help me out?

[britewire]

I promise I wont get mad :)

Scrogg is when you place a wire above your plants when you put them in bloom. While on 12/12 the plants grows for another 2/3 weeks. During that time you tie the tops of the plant too the wire and it will grow again. YOu keep repeating this untill your 2/3 weeks are up or the screen is full. This means, when the buds are forming, all of your light will go too your buds. Advantage is that you make much better use of the light.

[carnagethakilla2]

thank you, sounds like a good idea, might try it when i get a bigger space.

Looks good brightwire .,I ma doing a scrog myself for the first time so it will be good to pick up some pointers.Mine was done from seed aswell but i never fimmed or topped because im not knowledgble on this method so this grow is a bit hit and miss for me lol .but saying that i can see already the benefits of this method of growing.So nice one and best of luck with this grow mate will be following it with intrest as i have done jock horror and it is a very nice smoke.The Postman.

[YASoob]

love reading your thread britewire.

those arn't peat pellet right?

[britewire]

Yeah they are...

They're really cheap and do the job perfectly

[postmandave]

we have lift off.Best of luck on this scrog britewire.The Postman.

[YASoob]

did you use a germination method or did you just put then straight into the peat pellet?

[britewire]

I germinated the seeds directly in the peat pellets. I think it's bullshit too germinate upfront and THEN disturb the seeds again placing them in the peat pellets. If you place them in the pellets and get the pellets nice and wet at a constant temperature I found that the germination ratio's are best.

I use a PH value of 6.0/6.2 and a temperature between 24 and 29 degrees celcius. I give them 24/0 light and when the first signs of germination come about I give them 12 hours of rest. After that I set them on 18/6.

I got the best results like that. And that's by trail and error.

This time "another" 100% germination.

[britewire]

In the cabinet now! :smokin:

[ledgrower]

how do u plan on sexing them...finding out which are males and which are females....

[britewire]

I just keep vegging them till they're large enough and top them twice on 3 locations and then set them on 12/12. After 10 days of 12/12 it should be possible too recognise the males within the plants.

I'll remove the males and the weaker females, take the 9 best females out of they're devided space (pot). I get the deviders out of the bins and plant the strong females again. After that I'll put the scrogg over the plants and let them grow thru it during 12/12.

Then I'll keep tying the plants too the net untill they've stopped growing on 12/12.

After that it's a piece of cake if I can keep the temps in order

[postmandave]

top job britewire.the thing that got me is when to stop tying to the screen .Do you have a sertian time when you stop tying or do you just go with the flow?The postman

[britewire]

Well.. you start tying too the screen when the top of the plants grew little more... it's just a matter of looking and understanding your plants.

You shouldn't ty the whole branche too the net in one go, just leave about 5 cm on top to grow too the light. whenever it grows a couple of cm's just ty again and come back every day too see if they're still growing.

[britewire]

Plants died cause of the extreme temps on my addic. I've started to build a new cabinet. It was the first time I grew in teh summer on this location (cause I've just moved here) but in the end I couldn't beat the sun shining on the roof. I put the surviving plants outside for an outdoor grow.

I'll start a new thread conserning the build of the new growroom. You've heard me, no more cabinets for an entire room exclusivly for growing.

[postmandave]

damn britewire sorry to hear that bro i was looking forward to your scrog bro it WOULD have been awesomewith your set up bro like the others you have acheaved,damn im probibaly as pissed as you as i was lookin forward to this hope you sort out your prob as im havin the exact same shit going on hear i had to change my light cycle to lights on during the night when cooler,feel for you bro,best of luck . the postman.

[britewire]

I'll make a nice thread bout building my growroom.

Dedecated too the Jock Horror's that died in battle agains natures powers.. :(
