Grow setup question / "Pre"Grow-log

[nicksevenfold]

Well it's a bubbleponics system, so I can't really make it any smaller haha. I was thinking about putting in an external res. and just putting them in a shorter grow space but I don't know that doesn't seem like a good idea because of less root space. 3 or maybe 4 should do alright for me to have a decent personal and maybe get rid of a tiny bit as well. I should be able to improvise the space a little, as there is some duct-work in the way along the ground, but it doesn't rise above my ponics system so I probably actually have 42" length and width.

We'll see soon though, just started germing my first AK's :]. Got three in a paper towel as we speak.

How does growing with a U-shaped ScrOG work? What are the benefits?

[nicksevenfold]

I'll be starting the log tomorrow probably. I worked with the sq. ft-age and managed to get an extra foot each way. Line up is as follows:
- 2x fem Ak-48
- 2x regular "jack the ripper." (as I've been doing much research, I'm really looking forward to seeing how this one turns out.)

I started with two of each because they both are capable of handing around 1600 ppm of nutes from my research (correct me if I'm wrong, please!) and in some cases more than that if built up correctly. I still haven't mustered up the funds to buy a nute meter (Doh. Blew all my cash on the set-up!), nor built a screen, but i've got at least a week to get the meter done and several weeks to muster a screen.

I've been working all day on my set-up and turned the lights on to 250W to get them started (as they're only used to two 26W lights from my aerogarden that I started them in last week while moving), hanging my sunburst and attached fan about a foot above my bubbleponics. I'll be getting pictures tomorrow, as the lights should be going off at any given moment (as of right now, 20hrs on/4 hours off.)

Gonna go roll a rillo guys. It's been a long day full of wiring issues and broken hps bulbs (sigh, $-70.) Like I said, I'll be updating tomorrow with pictures. Still got plenty of projects to do, like wrapping everything in mylar (sp?)

Good night :rastasmoke:

Also, due to reading Demoreal's Purp Diesel thread, I will be removing the glass from my Sunburst as soon as I wake up in the morning. Someone on there posted an interesting note involving lightwave filtration and glass. I recently did a project in my chemistry class (freelance, and out of sheer interest and for extra-credit.) It does actually reflect light back towards the bulb, as well as filter a little bit of light output (actually depends on the glass "color" as someone said, as that decides the wavelength of the light getting filtered out.)

Anyways, sorry for rambling, just puffing on this rillo and remembering. Peace guys.

post your 6 plant 3x3 scrog on these boards. I would like to see how it turns out.
Are you doing 6?
or are you doing 4, 2 different strains.

[nicksevenfold]

Only doing four (the ones that are listed in the previous post.) I'll be making a new thread in about 45 minutes when I take the pics, so its not misleading. Look forward to seeing you there!
