Wow weedhound, those buds in your pics are huge.
I'm glad your trying the scrog technique, it is so much fun, well at least for a novice like myself. In regards to your concern of flushing soil, do what I do, use a shop vac to suck it up. I plan on continuing using the scrog technique, it does have its disadvantages though, such as transplanting and plant access, but if you know your plants, you'll have no problem.
Best of luck!
SWEET!
Not bad at all! You got this SCROG thing!! Go with ROCK....PORTA-SCROG!!!
good vibes
Well jd there was able to remove his plant by cutting the screen which would work with the scrog table we have as well. The thing is I want to scrog more than one plant at a time forr light efficiency. That's why the table and the two plants we have in SCROG now. I just don't think I want an immovable SCROG attached to a single pot......I think a table like the one we have would work better. Thoughts?
And thanks for the inspiration jd!!! :)

Found I could do as well or better with intelligent LST, FIMming and nipping. :cool:
Once they start the "7th inning stretch", I'd still get 2 or 4 tops that got very "uppity".
I opted to let her dry-out 'til slightly limp and tie the long stems together with the first half of a square knot.
Makes 'em run sideways two branches at a time, just like scrog, but without the added wire shadows and tangles
Just twine them together for a week, then untwine them when all the junction buds go vertical.
Works a treat and no screen hassles.
Just a thought.
Aloha,
Weeze
That's one of the things I'm wonder about wheeze.....will the SCROG yield match just "letting the plant do its thing" like Carrie or something.
Don't have a pic of your setup when you ran it do you?
I think that would depend on the strain, the light and the individual lady.Quote:

I thought you had some killer HPS bloom lights, ya?
I'm willing to bet that vertical HPS will produce better with someone like Carrie than it will with some flat topped scroggy girl.:D
Running a 6 gal. DWC gal right now with two sets, (4), scragglies entwined.
Actually, I just untied them Sunday and they are still horizontal with a row of 6 - 8 secondary buds on all four stems.
Just like they'd been scrogged.
I'm kinda waiting for an end to my grow room lease to post any pictures.
I don't have the room or the nerve to grow at my home.
So I'm a "sharecropper"
And I respect my "landlord's" pananoia.
So, I take choke pictures but must wait until that space is, shall we say neutral, before I post them.:cool:
Sorry 'bout dat.
I can e- you a snap if the idea is hard to picture.
Carrie is gorgeous, I'm smitten.
Aloha, and my best to da Mr.
Weeze
Hey WH, about your question in regards to yield with a scrog over "letting the plant do its thing." I personally think the yield with a scrog is more, your exposing all bud sites to equal intense light, so all exposed buds should be a lot better developed buds, You may not get forearm size colas but you do get a screen full of average size buds.
Plus it is great for saving space.
Check out this guys scrog, it inspired me a lot.

That's what draws me to it jd.....the chance for even light penetration. I'm going crazy and plants are just tripping over each other trying to get to the light. In a ""perfect" setting like Carrie's the plant "doing it's own thing" obviously has good results. But there is a cost in that she takes up a lot of room and hogs up a lot of light which leaves the other plants short of what THEY need so there has to be a balance somewhere. :)
