My First ScrOG - Young Girls in Bondage

[Gundari]

That is fucking amazing looking. So much so that depending upon the results of my first grow (all i really did was a bit of LST'ing) i may be doing a SCroG on my second grow.

Yes, that is amazing. Real nice.

Just one suggestion though. I know this is your first time and you will do some things differently next time, so I suggest that you get rid of all that foliage and those popcorn buds underneath. They are not getting light, and they are taking away precious strength from what is really important; the buds and whatever is above the screen.

The growth that you can see in the pics is actually on top of the screen - it's foliage that grew after the branches were tied down. At this point, it would be next to impossible to trim it. It's such a tangled mess that it just wouldn't be wise.

Not trying to be a smart ass, but I know. That's why I said it was a suggestion for next time.

Keeps stuff from falling over- you'll have weight supported at awkward angles, and as they fill in they'll want to lay down onto the screen.

Sorry rhizome, I'm just not understanding this. I want to believe, really, but I still don't get it. I guess I'm doing something wrong, but I've never had any of my buds want to lay down. They all seem to want to grow toward the light. Maybe I'm such a bad grower that my buds are not big enough to fall down. Well maybe, but I've found that once I top or LST or FIM, or do anything that creates additional bud sites, those buds end up smaller than if I had less of them and didn't train my plants. To fill in a 3'x3' screen solid with buds only, from 4 plants or so, takes a lot of bud sites per plant, and they get small. Overall a bigger yield, but smaller buds that don't want to fall over.

So please help me understand. I'm not trying to be difficult. Perhaps I'm not all there, but I've never heard of two screens or what benefit they have over one. I always want to try new things, but not if they don't make sense to me.

I guess maybe next time I'll try 2 and see If I can figure out some way to make it beneficial. Since I stadium scrog, would I need a stadium screen for both, or could the bottom screen be flat? Stadium screens are much more involved in the making. And exactly what part of the plant goes in each section? I'm imagining the space below the bottom screen is bare wood. The middle layer is a bunch of topped or FIMed branches with fan leaves that will see little, if any light. The top layer is nothing but buds and small bud leaves coming up all open spaces in the screen. And what about LST? Would I bend the branches down right from the start, or wait until they are just into the second layer?

Any ideas here would be great, because I may want to give this a go for next time, since I have some extra flat screens laying around.

The down side? I imagine it will take extra space vertically, since you've got to get your hands to the back of all layers. I also am guessing that it will take longer, since you are growing them taller.

I read your post a bunch of times and I wasn't sure if you meant trim now or in the future...

Next time I go to the hydro store, I'm going to get the hydro guy to draw me a picture 'cuz I really don't understand the exact purpose of the second screen. What Rhizome said seems to make sense, but you would need some pretty damn big ScrOG buds to need the support. ...I hope mine grow that big. LOL

bongerstonerd00d - Thanks for the comments! Yeah, Santa should be a happy camper this year.

Darn tootn! Me too. I'm picturing it now, drooling.

Well, another week into this and it would appear that, as usual, Rhizome was right. The buds are getting too big and too heavy and I'm going to have to do a whole bunch of tying up in the next few days.

...Hell, I might even try to install a second screen right now. I've got four weeks left and it would be a major pita to try to tie up every bud.
