Look forward to seeing your scrog. That's what I intend to do in the limited space I have.
Yeah, I have a couple questions to get answered about the SCROG. I'm currently working on building a little cart with the screen built into it, similar to what FarmerRich has going on. He showed me some pics of his grows and I thought it was a cool idea. But basically I wanted to make sure that my plant wasn't too old to start SCROGing. Hopefully the stems havent gotten too stiff yet and are still able to flex easily so I can bend them into the holes. In order to figure out the size of the screen I need to use... I'm just going to use a large piece of screen, fill it with my reveg, and then cut off the excess screen. I figure that'd be the best way to go about it.
Anyways, I just got back to home depot with some supplies to work on this stuff so I better get to it. If anyone has any advice, techniques, or suggestions to go along with my SCROG please let me know. I have never done a SCROG before but it looks pretty damn neat.
There are lots of SOG/SCROG/LST/HST/Supercropping vids on Youtube. Take a look.
Thanks to this post and others like it. I have been inspired to reveg. I harvested today. I also kept the lower two branches with some popcorn buds on them to reveg with. I also cut about 8 inches off her roots on bottom and about 1 inch off the sides..I hope to be taking clones by March. seeds are a rare commodity here.
You should really post some pics of how you are starting out your reveg directly after harvest. At least for me that was the most intimidating part of it. There are several others here that are new to the reveg thing and its great to see all the different pics. Feel free to post them here if you want, I'm not concerned about thread jacking or anything. A group of minds working together is much better than just me hahaha.
:thumbsup: I've just enjoyed reading through your thread from the beginning and just wanted to say what a great job you did/are doing. The re-veg girl looks a real beast and the young clones are doing really well. Hope you have the time to keep this going, it would be fun seeing her scrog and flower again.
Ok well I figured I'd post a few pictures of the first test clone I took from my reveg. Just a little background... I took this one early by itself so I could get it into flower and document its reactions to different things, as well as flowering time and all that since I didn't pay that close of attention when I first grew the plant out. Since then I took another 2 waves of clones that are a couple weeks apart from eachother and are still in veg. I plan to keep them small and do a sort of small SOG type grow with them. Which is why its important to me to figure out precise flowering times for this strain.
The pictures below again are the Reveg Test clone, which is pictured above in previous posts of mine. It is currently 12 days into flowering and appears to be moving along at a good pace. Two days ago it really started pumpin' out trichomes. This should also help determine whether the idea that revegging causes potency and quality loss, is in fact true or not. Its early in flower, but so far I'd say this reveg clone looks better than the original did. Lemme know what you think!

Also, as for the SCROG on the main reveg plant... that is still a work in progress, attempt #1 was sort of a failure due to poor planning. I found it is a lot harder to start a SCROG with a plant as large as mine already is. I need to use smaller mesh, and I don't believe it will be much of a true SCROG, as far as using the screen to train how it grows. Basically the screen will be used to spread the existing growth to allow for better light penetration, rather than continuous training of tops to make new tops. It probably already has 20-30 tops, and they're all relatively even in height. The screen will spread it a little bit and allow the shorter tops to push through, once those tops push though it will be put into flower. I plan to use 3 different HPS lights on it, one 400W and two 150 Watters for supplemental light around the sides. Shes a monster bush right now... and shes got a few signs of preflowers already. I have a big annual business meeting tonight so I probably won't get to posting pics of that until tomorrow afternoon, so if you're interested in it make sure to check back then! Good luck to all who are experiencing revegging right now and hopefully this will provide some inspiration to push it harder!
Nice touch with the venus fly trap! Great idea for airborne pests :thumbsup:
Haha thanks, thats actually part of a project I'm working on, which may have been a mistake because its not a high priority and I've been busier than hell lately so I never have time to work on it. I've been a few days behind on a lot of things and that can translate into problems with plants, thankfully I haven't had any real issues yet from that, in fact everything is doing great. The project is that I bought a few of those venus fly traps because I've always had fungus gnats around and could never really completely get rid of them. No matter what I could always shake one or two out of the soil to kill, which isn't a problem at all, but it got me thinking... maybe I should let them repopulate a little bit, and then flood all open space in my veg room with carnivorous monster plants, (venus fly traps, haha). Anyways, with the few venus fly traps I have I am cloning them to make many many more, and then hopefully they'll have a good meal from the fungus gnats. Then I will just have to focus on keeping the fungus gnats out of the smaller plants with lesser developed root systems, because when they lay eggs that hatch, their larva live in the soil and munch on living roots. And speaking from experience... they can easily destroy a fresh rooting clone or young seedling. I have another post about my evil venus fly trap plan in "Basic Growing" where I'll be posting pictures about it. Check it out in a few days if you want, I should have enough of it done to show off some pics by then.
On a different note... How's my test plant doing for 12 days of flower? I wish I would have shaped it up just a little bit differently, since I would have shortened up the main top a little more to be even with the rest of the tops but oh well. Long as I can pin-point the flower time and what she does and doesn't like for future reference.
You clone from the reveg looks great!
