SCROG shot #2

Day 60 is thursday, :hippy: I might snap off a couple tonight if I'm so inclined, need to get some more work done in the new area.

Check with your local laws to see if you can even be a caregiver, I've seen folks advertise, even on this site. But that's a bit shady IMO. I've accrued my patients thru word of mouth. And only one is a heavy use patient so I don't have to have a bunch of plants, well below my max 36. (in all stages of growth, max 18 in flower)

Also, HB1284 screwed me in the ass for getting rid of any excess. Used to be I could sell over grow to the dispensary's, now they can only buy from other dispensary's. :mad: and any excess meds I produce have to be destroyed! :eek: So I'm trying to work it so I'm producing just the right amount.

Very nice grow. I am going to try out the SCROG method next grow I think. Look forward to seeing end product and weight.

too bad about them stupid rules, Canniwhats

Yeah Shov, the rules here have kinda sucked from day 1. And now the retards in office have voted all kind of more stupidity in to effect. It's tough, but I'm still able to stay in compliance.


Anyway, I never did take pictures on thursday, was too busy working on adjusting things with the new 600.:jointsmile:

So on with the show, Day 62!:pimp:

Things are progressing nicely, still waiting for amber. Lots of cloudy, amber is coming soon! :hippy:

Thanks! :D

It's a 3 gallon, I've had some roots poke out too, mostly they air prune. The ones in the drip tray will sometimes get about 1/4" before I let em dry out too much.

Look who's talkin! Those first couple channels you got going are looking spectacular! :bonghit:

Cann, looks great boss. I think Ill try something like that:thumbsup: Maybe a sog as I have 5 different strains going:wtf:

SOG with 5 strains can be a bitch trying to keep the canopy even. IMO SCROG would be a better choice, Stretchy strains will need more screen, but your canopy will be perfectly even! :jointsmile:

Yea, but I think Ill bring the screen up from the bottom of the pots rather then setting up top as I wont be able to work it from the bottom. My back wont let me:mad: I think it would be still a scrog right:cool:

What's in your head? Paint me a picture of how the screen from the bottom. :wtf:



I understand the back thing, but why not hang the light as high up as you can and set the plants on tables, (shelving) to get the canopy at a height where you don't have to bend down to work them.

My Screen is about 3' off the floor (for this log, new one under the 600 is closer to 4' up) I do most of my work kneeling,... but if I wanted to I could move everything UP so I didn't have to kneel down to work em.

My Buddy's SCROG is right at chest height, and walking thru that 40k flower is fun, its like wading thru buds. He's got a little scooter (looks like a wagon with a swiveling tractor seat on it) to run up and down the rows to maintain the undergrowth.

It is just amazing, the things that folks think of. This SCROG thing is very cool. Looks like you are having some fun!!

Thanks!

SCROG isn't my idea, something I read about that made sense. And YES it is FUN! :rastasmoke:

It takes a LOT of work tho, and the rewards,... well the rewards are pretty good. But it dose sacrifice those big honkin colas :( (AKA Bud's on a stick)

Instead of the huge bud up top, and some side buds on the branches with a big hollow void in the middle that has a few wispy buds, the entire plant is covered in smaller buds, pretty much every bud point has a chance to produce to the max!

Overall, I feel that a SCROG plant will out perform a naturally grown plant of the same age.


Pic: Blueberry natural grow,.... Nice main cola,... but down at the bottom there's nothing. :mad:

Ok canni, Im painting. Look at my log and see my box. Ok, now I take a screen and cut holes in it to set the pots in. Bring that up to the ring on the pots and mount. Then LST the thing and tie/twist insert or what ever branches to the screen. Im not sure this would even make a diff.

I like your idea of raising the pots though...Good idea.
Wait till I get pics of the grow table I made from a work bench. Very cool.:thumbsup:

That would work, but would also be a PITA to water. Pretty similar to what I'm thinking for next years outdoor girl.

Height was a bit of an issue last summer, so next year I plan on using a re-veged SCROG, and training it down out of the pot and straight to the sides, I've got it in my head a cascade of buds flowing out of a pot and stretching out to the sides,..... Ahhhh to be able to dream. :D


Lots of work that tho.

Couple shots from Day 65!

Things are looking good for harvest soon, starting to spot some amber in there, but it's still sparse. :hippy:

Hey canni,
Was trolling around on another site and came across a scrog setup that made me think of you.
I thought you might like the watering method.
Here's the pics. :hippy:

BTW, your girl is looking mighty fine. :jointsmile:

Heh,.... That's pretty clever! Whoops up on my half assed extension. :o


Does beg the question how much water it will disperse, and how well the center of the pot gets covered. Also, not much a fan of the main stalk being off set in the pot. the bulk of the roots will be in 1/2 of the pot.


Thanks for the compliment tho! :D

Great job Canni! Durban Poison is one of those strains I've loved forever. Your girl looks sweeet. I wanna bury my face in it! :D

Been a while since I've done a SCROG grow. You've got me wanting to lace-up the screen and give it a go!

Thanks for posting a great log, and the inspiration. :thumbsup:

btw, been following your grafting thread too, great idea!

Thanks DogT!


I planted my face squarely in it tonight as I trimmed out all the big yellow fans and ran an Icewater flush thru her.


All I can smell right now is a sweet desert flower perfume,.... and my fingers keep sticking to the keyboard! :jointsmile:

One more week to go. :hippy: :rastasmoke:

Oh man... those buds look stick icky!

Those are some buds to be proud of my friend...

Thanks GTOD! :D Makes me feel pretty good hearing that from someone such as your self. :rastasmoke:


Pics from tonight after pruning. :hippy:

What is it Day 70? and still no amber? The pruning looks good. the buds look a little airy though....how much longer are going?

There's some amber starting to creep in, Day 70 is Sunday, Planning on running closer to 77 days. She's getting a bit of foxtailing that tends to plump up the buds a bit in the next week.

The down fall of lots of training and SCROG is you don't get huge fat buds, instead you get LOTS of little buds. Most of them are about the size of golf balls, with a few fair size ones about 4" long and 2" in diameter. Individually they are rock solid.

Also keep in mind this plant is really pretty small, and I'm still expecting to pull about 2-3 oz dried. Not bad for a Sativa :hippy:

The pruning was to help reduce the amount of N she can pull into the buds, my last harvest of this strain tasted great, but a little grassy, so I'm hoping to get better flavor out of this one.

Wow 77 days though......hum......After all the trimming I have been doing lately.....the golf ball size nugs...are really nice.....sometimes the huge buds get too big and they get spongy and not real hard....so maybe the scrog is an excellent way....2 to 3 ounces is very good..:thumbsup:

My Scrog should start tomorrow....well if its not raining and I am able to work on the tables:)

Good luck till harvest.

They grow up so quick.

I'm glad I'm in at the ground floor. Every time, every day, better and better.

Really? You haven't figured out your original password!?!? :wtf:

I'm thinking you won't be able to help with this one,... you've got other things that ABSOLUTELY come first! ;)


I'm seeing more amber as the time progresses,...... I really wish my camera could catch it,..... :hippy:

Been too busy to dig down and re-claim it.
That Durban looks amazing though, honestly.

I'm quite pleased that everything is an upgrade, every time. Its such a shame that I was sent to destroy them.

:S2:

So a funny thing happened today,..... This morning the wife mentioned that she was "almost out of Durban Poison" Meaning she's only got a gram or so left of the strain.


And this evening when I got home from work I find a new bud hanging in the drying area! :wtf:

As the story goes, she went in to look at the girls and somehow managed to "Break" that big cola that was sticking off the side of the plant off being a clutz, :o


:detective1: I think it's more :420thought::weedpoke::smokebong:


Pics,.... I'm starting to get pissed at my inability to properly utilize my camera! :mad: There's some purpeling, and some hints of amber to the trics, but I'll be DAMNED if I can catch either in ANY of the pics I tried to snap off of the "Broken" bud... so Here's the best 2. :o

Hahaha, I guess she really wanted a sample. Amazing grow man, went through all 5 pages. Keep it up!

Turn your camera on, go into the settings menu, drop your exposure value -1 or -2, no flash. Your light is overpowering the camera sensor.

had to do the same to get the 'mellow' tone to my LED lit stuff.

Lmao.......my wife "accidently" broke a branch off once while she was watering them and I was away for awhile. She finaly fessed up that she wanted to try it about a month later. Anyways....looking very very nice. Can't wait to see your harvest pics. Peace bro:hippy:

Ah yes!
The proverbial "sacrificial limb".

In this case, good call by da wife!:thumbsup:
That bud is near 100% cloudy.
Looks about perfect to my taste.:jointsmile:

OK
Back to lurking.
Weeze

She's only got another few day's to live. :( Harvest kinda has to be on a weekend with my real job, so this weekend or next! And I'm thinking it should have been yesterday.

I'm gonna run out of jars! :rastasmoke: :pimp:

Man Canni, i sure wish i could say ''im going to run out of jars'', lmao. Heck iv been into my butter bag trying to get something big enough or healthy to clone. I gotta find someone to get my led's up. But im not just going to let anyone touch em, my other lights fell on my grow 4 or 5 times last year, but these are a bit better then cfl's, lol.


Cant wait till harvest for ya bro, looking nice:cool:



:rasta:

major props brother! super sweet, I am building my room for my first hydro grow now,(going to be a SCROG thanks to the advice of others) and hope mine look as good when the time comes. I have some questins thou, even though i know the answer is somewhat strain dependent but...
1) when veging do you top or "FIM" your plants when you do a scrog? seems like this may be beneficial??
2)when do you trim the lower branches? about the time the plant fills the screen?
3)how do you get the plant to fill out the screen? to get the branches to grow up? is it from LST from the get go?
sorry, for the newb questions.. but can't find the answers in any of my books, and not yet on the posts.. but will gladly read any posts, stickys etc anyone can direct me to on the scrog, or otherwise..

ok so onece again i find the answers to my questions while reading older posts.. disregard all questions... but still major props... I will keep my mouth shut till i read for 5 more days or so... after 4 books, mags, vids, internet vids, and all the reading i have done here, i still feel like a puppy with a new toy (not to mention my own limited experience.. agh what experience) again you are all excellent, and the older people i don't see posts from ( i have been going back to oldest posts i can find and working up) all excellent, this forum puts JC to shame, loved the book, but more is covered here for anyone that just keeps reading

+1 These boards are a great resource. And it's always nice to see n00bs who do their homework. It's like anything else, you are never really done learning.

Next step is to start your own thread so that you can dial in all the hundreds of questions that you will have relevant to your setup without hijacking Canni's thread. A gentle nudge...

NP there B2K! Welcome to the fun ;) I'm going to pull her down tonight, as I got word that some of my friends are getting together to turn all they're trimmings to Hash, so Harvest got pushed up 1/2 a day.


I'll try and get pics along the way, but the wife is pretty picky about the camera getting too close to sticky buds! :rastasmoke: Yeah, she's yelled at me a couple times for resin on the camera :o

BIGSBY.. yeah i love the posts.. and point headed :thumbsup:
CANNI-I only hope mine looks 1/2 as good, cant wait to hear the final tally, again well done!:rastabanna:
