SCROG ?.......

[puff4twentynow]

I think i know why my last attempt didn't go so well. I read somewhere (don't remember where) that the top 1/3 of fan leaves needed to be removed, so me like a dumbass, i clipped away. Well now with more advice and reliable info, i hope to have my first hydro harvest. Thanks Z. I will be starting 12/12 in two days and i can use all the help i can get. More threads to come with more questions. This time i won't be a mole just looking around for answers and not asking questions. Thanks again.

puff4twentynow Reviewed by puff4twentynow on 11-26-2005. SCROG ?....... I'm attempting a scrog and was just wondering how long i should let them grow through the screen before putting them on 12/12? These pics are of day 16 veg. These are clones. Should i top them so the under growth has a chance to catch up? Any input is appreciated. Thanks ahead. Puff :) Rating: 5

It's the top 1/3 that hold more then 1/2 of the Trichomes the plant will yield.

Puffy just ask away dude, good luck with your next round.

puff4twentynow + zandor,

I have the same General Hydroponics Rainforest system that I saw pictured in your setup. I would really appreciate it if you could give me a little background going into my first multi-plant grow. I would like to collect enough info to create a system-specific growing guide, but at first I really just need help with my own grow. I have established a new thread here:

Thanks in advance for taking time to answer any questions that you can. I know you don't have to and I appreciate your time.

So even if you have several lights hitting the side buds ... the BUDS themselves will grow however the potency of the lower 2/3's of the plant isn't on par with the Kola? Or isn't as "concentrated"...?

I was lollypopping my ladies again today to make sure i do that as best as possible and i noticed that the fan leaves had trichomes on them. They were clear and few but still they were there. I just put them into 12/12 three days ago. Has anyone ever noticed trichomes this early? This is the first time i notice trichs this early? Anyone?

Yes it normal for some strains. The THC percentage is not the same as on a flower but it's still there.

You need to provide the same power of light to all sides of the plant to grow evenly. I'm just guessing but I bet 98% of the time people only light from the top and that is where they get their numbers from of the top 1/3 because that's how much light penetrates in a normal grow.

The mail stock will hold more trichomes and a higher percentage of THC in them then the other parts of the plant will. The cola is where the antioxidants are that control a lot of the growth and other characterâ??s of the plant. (Itâ??s like the general in charge)

That's why when you crop the main cola the plant stays short and bushy.
