New grow show. Scrog with CFL's. Need input!

Hey jd, hows it goin you fellow Iowan you?

As for your girl, looking at the pics in post 14 she looks root bound IMO.

The reason I say this is the leaves all appear to be in "canoe" form with all the fingers curling downward. Secondly, you said you noticed that she hasn't been growing as fast as usual. This could be because she is through the "stretch" also too.

Don't think a transplant would be possible with the scrog, plus your 30+ days into flower now. But she looks great overall and I hope it turns out for ya.

Not sure on the flush, I try to flush about 2 weeks before harvest or earlier if I think she needs 2.

BTW what part of Iowa are you from? You don't have to be too specific if you don't want to. Right now I'm up in the North central/western part finishing up my last year of school. About 2 hrs. north of Des Moines.

Anyhoo, looks like you got your shit together. If you wanna see some pics of my last grow just let me know, got some beans from Cali. and they were GGGGGrrrreat! as Tony would say. Peace bro.

Lit Up Reviewed by Lit Up on 11-19-2008. New grow show. Scrog with CFL's. Need input! Hi everyone! Been trying to get get some good buds going since June. My first attempt withered away 2 weeks into flowering because of a mishap with a home recipe for insect control. I had a favorite plant that I took a clone from and now am back into the swing of things. After the clone started taking off I let it veg for 6 weeks under a 2x4ft screen. I was concerned about the plant getting pot bound in its 3.5 gal pot so I switched it into flower when the screen was about 50% full. After Rating: 5

I listened to your advice about the plant being root bound. Didn't want to fuck around with a lower yield so I busted out the wire cutters and trimmed the screen. It was root bound, not severely, but still root bound. I disturbed the roots as little as possible so we will see how i t goes, hopefully well. So now I am doing a LST grow...lol
Still need to do some more training but otherwise all is good.
Lit Up~ I am in the north eastern part of the state, by the Mississippi. Thanks for steering me in the right direction!

Good, good, I hope she perks up for ya. I like that bubble wrap insulation, I use the same stuff, got it when I ran the pig farms awhile back. I'm using the white side but prob flip it to shiny side next time around, but it prob won't make too much of a difference.

This thread appears to be Iowa dominate hehe. Good to see Graham is flying the flag these days.

JD - hows she doing?

[GoldenGraham84]

yeah, i'm southwest. just outside keokuk. i could probably spit into missouri. or illinois.

Well it is day 33 into flowering and all is looking good, well it looks like a big mess of buds without the screen, but I can't bitch too much about a "big mess of buds" can I?

The leaves are looking really light green and a lot of yellow ones are present too. Is this normal with flowering? I know some is. It is just happening to the fan leaves. Any help?

[hydrocannabis]

what about putting a few long floro lights under the plants to give the bottem of the plants more light. I heard that will really fatten up the buds from both top and bottem of the plant.

I can see that u have the room.

well they do look very very nice looken.:thumbsup:

[magiccity445]

bro your grow is freakin amazing. i think i might scrog next grow if it turns out as goods as your is...

Hydrocannabis~ I tossed it around about adding more lights under the canopy but I was doing it SCROG and didn't need additional lighting. I am more then half way through flowering so I think I am just going to stick with what I have and see how that turns out. Thanks

Magiccity~ Thanks for looking, the SCROG is a lot of fun, give it a try, just don't use a small pot like I did and have to end up LSTing it the second half of flowering. Live and learn.
