First Grow

[canniwhatsis]

Bear in mind,... I'm still in VEG!!! I'm not even gonna try and flower for a while,... need to take some clones first Then she's gonna flower,.... say another 2 months,.... errr, month as quick as the screen is filling! :jointsmile:


Couple pics after tonight's training session before bed time, Enjoy.:rastasmoke:

Figured I'd reiterate the "Still in VEG!!!" part of that,... I"m "pre screening" my eventual ScrOG. Currently the screen is 15"x24" when it fills up I figure she will be root bound in the 3 gallon pot she's in, so I'll transplant her to a minimum 5 gallon pot, then put her into flower!

for flowering I figure I'd double the size of the screen,... so 36x42 ( bit more square) and put the new screen about 9" above the current screen.:hippy:

I could be missing something and failing to understand what you are doing. But I don't think this is going to work. Please bear in mind I highlighted the word think, because I don't know. I am going to be watching with interest though. :jointsmile:

Once you switch to flower the plants stretch a bit, but not a lot. They will not stretch enough to grow into and fill another screen. The second screen will just be sitting 9" above your canopy/1st screen.

Your probably right,.... this is my first shot at growing after all. I'm not entirely sure what to expect as things progress.

I admire your pioneering spirit. If everyone followed the rules and didn't try new things, a lot of the established techniques wouldn't exist. I tend to be more cautious and go with proven ideas.

I think I've figured out what's in my head with the 2nd screen thing,... Veg this screen out, leave the plant in veg and let the canopy stretch up to the 2nd screen and start filling it up. (need to cut clones from somewhere ) Then put into flowering.:hippy:





The main stem is (was) shooting all the branches to the outside of the screen, I need to get it turned in and start getting branches spreading to the inside, so a couple zip ties and some string were involved.

Nothing much else to report, temps and humidity are under control in my little cabinet, grow room is still under construction, need to rent a hammer drill today.

It looks a little bigger now.

Keep a VERY close eye on how tight those zip ties get over the next couple/few weeks. The stems will thicken quite a lot, and a tight tie will strangle your stems if left tight.

Otherwise, get ready for a lot of fast growth, and lookin good! :thumbsup:

I added a pic of when my plant (string) tie back strangled the main stem.

The zip ties get removed as soon as the stem is trained under the wire,... I haven't had any of the ties I've used on the plant for more than a couple days! :thumbsup:

I think you are missing the point of a scrog, but whatever... it`s your grow.

Time will tell. This is only 3.5 weeks at the moment, there's lots of growing still to be done.

I understand that scrog is typically only done at flowering, and is used to keep the canopy at an even distance from the light and allow all the bud points equal light.
