Since I was feelin' like a deep fried turkey...


Wonderin' bout my scrog...

Been flowering for two weeks now and I am wondering about stretching during flower.
I have noticed that some bud sites are great and others seem to be stretched.

Is this because my lights are 12" away from the tops?

I have this deflector that is box like and if I move it closer to the tops, the angle of the light diminishes proportionately.
Would a batwing deflector give me better light distribution?


The lower growth has lots of pistils, not as tight as the tops of course, however i don't want to cut it back if it will generate decent buds.

I have stopped tucking the growth under the screen and am wondering if I should leave it or continue tucking back under the screen.

Some pics are attached (sorry for the quality) and any comments and advice on scrog growing would be appreciated.

(lots of drinks and herbs in me right now so apologies if this is a confusing post)

Someone mention food?

Hey Blink what strain do you have there? Any chance we could get a pic of the whole setup? I'd love to see how you worked out your screen covering.

Not sure of the strain, Indica for sure....13 female out of 13 seeds so must have come from a hermie if I understand things right..

8'w x 4'h x 4'd box.
2x 400HPS hortilux
carbon sock on a 375cfm extraction fan
Pails from the dollar store filled with MG potting soil, vermiculite and perlite 1 bag soil:1/2 perlite:1/2 vermicultie

2 x 44" trays on wheels with screen 12" above the bottom of the tray which is made of pegboard to allow drainage onto the floor. Unfortunately I have to shop vac each time I water. Next grow I will adjust so that drainage is easier to manage. (any suggestions?)

Grandmas mollases and botanicare Pro Bloom for flower, botanicare pure blend for veg. Rested tap water until 10% runoff. PH stable at 6.5.

The pics aren't the greatest but here you go.

I veg in a rubbermaid deck box which houses the moms and clones.

First time grow.

thoughts??? Suggestions??
