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'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.

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. :)
dammmmm weedhound ur garden looks great as hell.
kind of makes me wish we were neighbors. U'd get to teach me to grow like that. and I'd be able get some killer clones on the cheap too.:D
cant wate to see how ur scrog turns out.:thumbsup:
Wow, that's pretty!Quote:

Thanks JD.
If Carrie yields less than 4 oz. of bud, I'd go for the scrog.
If she tops 12 oz. I'd leave well enough alone. But then, I'm very lazy.
I hope you do this Weedy.
It is extra work, but with Hydro and your growing skills it should be impressive.
If you can beat your vertical-grown yield by even 20% I'll go "back to work" and scrog myself silly.:jointsmile:
It seems even ancient Lizards don't know everything.;)
Weeze
It's been forever and I've missed your rants, raves, and grows. :D Glad to hear you are doing well and beating that F'ing cancer. I'm no longer living in a place with MMJ laws so life sucks without my medicine. Just wanted to say hello and tell you I've been watching...
BTW, what strains are growing now and which are planned? Be safe and well.
MVP :jointsmile:
Hi guys, just wanted to drop in and say thanks to weedhound for the inspiration, looking at your grow has fired up my enthusiasm for popping some seeds once again. Loving your work, keep it up!
Time to draw up a shortlist of new beans to try. Suggestions welcome (as long as there not rude lol).
P.S. Hi to MVP and the rest of the guy's too. Long time no see.
Take it easy and take care. :thumbsup:
MvP.....how good to hear from you.....but sorry you are without the blessed herb. I remember both you and Opie were very talented at this sort of thing.......any tips?
Flameon; good to see you; you're probably not around as much because you're still out walking with that beautiful lab arent you? I am feeling GOOD and am walking a mile a day myself and wearing the footpads off one of my shepherds......but she loves it.
Just wanted to give ya another :thumbsup::thumbsup: on your grow...I admire your technique and style...
As long as I have your attention,I also wanted to say that I hope you're feeling O.k and compliment you on your wonderfully generous donation of a lap-top to the member who is in the hospital...Most of us will never see each others faces,but I don't need to see you to know you're a special person with a beautiful heart...
On a lighter note,I met a person at "TY" who's privacy I'll respect...We talked about this site and he said he used to be here under the name "Jack Herer"...He spoke highly of you and said you helped him along the path when he was an inexperienced grower...
A pleasure watchin' you work weedhound!!!
Much RESPECT 4 ya...:hippy:

DT, I remember Jack posting about a year ago.
good ole Weedy has been a help to many around these here parts.
I'm not sure what I'd be doing today if it werent for the patience of Weedhound.
I know I probably wouldnt be facing the current population explosion in the flower room:woohoo:
Weedy, u know I'm one of your biggest fans.
here's a big 'Thank You' and a hug from across the web:computerlove1:
I would agree...WH is a compassionate soul, As I'm sure many you have found...
Three Cheers for WEEDHOUND Hip, Hip, Hooray; Hip, Hip, Hooray; Hip, Hip, Hooray.... as Mrs. Hound is hoisted onto the collective shoulder's of Cannabis.coms' members....:thumbsup:keep doing your thing girl...And a Happy Holiday's to all here at CanCom......
d4 never does things small I notice.....:D
Aww, you guys are great.....I couldn't have taken on my health issues without the support from everyone here. It's kind of funny because I know someone else who used to be on the board alot and now no longer posts and I have a feeling it's because he got some bad news healthwise. (no, it's not X-Crispi who does still drop by and post here and there.) I miss his posts and his presence but when I got my news I absolutely HAD to share it with the cdot community. I really NEEDED all you guys and everyone came through for me and dealt with my moods and my insanity until Mr Hound and I were able to at least see straight again. Not to mention that growing has become "what I do" now since with my immune-compromised state I can't work as a vet tech these days. Hope to be back to work within a few months now, hopefully.
PS....Also saw cannabis.com mentioned in high times as one the BEST INTERNET SITES regarding medical marijuana. Wowzer......
hey hound, long time no comment. Been busy but what can i say, wow. Carrie looks amazing and that scrog seems to be coming along. I'm sure this may be a learning experience for you and others watching so good luck :thumbsup: and definitely awesome news in high times as well...i<3canncom4life lol
hope all is well,
mgm
Mrs Hound who you talkin bout OY, cuz I was wonderin' where he has been...hope all is good for him and his family, OY if you are out there lurkin, we miss you here at CanCom...
sorry for the jack WH
That's exactly who I was thinking of d4.....and I do hope all is well with him and his family. We miss him and his razor sharp sense of humor.
On my was to my "last" chemo treatments......then a pet scan right after X-mas to see what's up.
Later all......love you guys..
wh.

Weedhound, I thought that's who you were talkin bout' after posting that I went to one of his threads and posted... His last post was in Sept., and last activity on this site was in Oct. ( OY, I wish you the best man)
WH, hope your Dr. visit goes well, I'll be saying some prayers too for your after Christmas scan even more....
Hope the extra attention were getting over here, ie; High Times - doesn't cause this site to fall off grid like OG...even though I'm not sure exactly why OG went down...
Weedy, we love ya:computerlove1:says wifey. Im glad we could help, and still wish we could do more. Glad things are lookin up.
I do miss opie as well. Ill email him see if I can get a hold of him. Hope all is well...
good vibes
Sorry I'm a storyteller, it's my nature...I just can't seem to tell a short story, I gotta go around the world and back again..shit here I go agian....just gimme one of these :asskick: when you've heard enough from me...Quote:

O__O
i want.
Is it Carrie you are cutting down? Looks good. When I saw those pics of you holding up the Bic lighter by the plants, I laughed. I was wondering if the plants knew what a lighter was.....hope you didn't Scare her.....:D
Sorry to hear about the chemo. My Dad is going through chemo too. He had a new pet scan few days ago. I hope you both get better soon. I keep trying to get him to use my medicine, but he's not a believer. It's a shame the damn Reefer Madness syndrome is still in effect. Can't even get his doctor to prescribe Marinol......it's the devil's drug seems to be Dr.'s attitude.
Say hi to Mr. Weedhound for me.....:hippy:
Hi Lola, Thanks for stopping by the thread.
The lighter is just for reference these days since we don't smoke any more (I was toking spottily before my lung cancer diagnosis as was Mr Hound) but go the cookie and capsule route. We also both quit smoking cigs a year and a half ago....yet there still seems to be lighters everywhere you turn here.
I'm very sorry to hear about your dad and his chemo.....but I certainly hope the chemo is doing its job and getting rid of his cancer. If you don't mind listing what type I'd love to know but completely understand if you don't want to tell your personal life to internet folks. :)
Well, alas Carrie did not come down today.......we checked trichs and while they are almost all cloudy there are VERY few ambers and we like about 20-ish% amber for these girls so we're going to wait just a bit longer. Today is day 69 I believe and she has been on RO water and Cannazym for about a week so far. I think the cold weather here is starting to slow down the plant's growth etc.....and between Mr Hound AND myself we still forget to turn the heater on for them at night. Probably we should get a timer. :cool:
Thanks Revanche......here you go...... :joint1:Quote:

The cold temps are definitely slowing things down. We have a little heater inside the grow area to help at night and the central air so believe me between the two of us we ALWAYS skip at least one. The central resevoirs are in the regular room so they are affected the central heating and not the little heater in the grow area.
things are still lookin nice Mrs. Hound....:thumbsup:
Hey WeedHound, I don't mind telling you, my dad's cancer is lymphoma and pancreatic. Pet scans show that there is no longer anything showing up. But, being a nurse/science geek, I'm paranoid.
I knew the lighter was just a reference, but thought it was funny to think the plant might be scared of it.:D I tend to think of plants as sentinent creatures, we just don't know how to communicate with them yet. I hope I don't learn how, cause I can't eat/smoke my friends:wtf:
Can't wait to see the photos of the big harvest...I sometimes wish I lived in CA too. Ya'll are Lucky dogs to be in a cool MMJ state.
Hey Weedy,
you know you got my vote on the "wait for the trichs"
you watched me impatiently harvest only to realize it too late.
i will be taking a last check this weekend before taking down Wanda.:wtf:
and i'm totally with you on the lil heater, and YES get another timer!
you also watched me 'chill' n stall one grow, i think one of the thai's.
i use a lil heater at nite in winter and keep the place a lil warmer in general.
slightly higher heat bill, but less risk of chill.
Lola, sorry to hear about your dad. All my best wishes out your way:)
Wow that is GREAT news Lola!! Tell your dad congratulations!! Terrific work!
Rock, its supposed to snow here this weekend.......if we can only remember to turn on the heat at night.......
Its supposed to be an animated one too....lol. Guess not! Thought he would help trim some...
good vibes
