Lollipoping for scrog

[justaseed]

^

not in my experiance though

and how many scrogs have you completed...........

just kidding, but cutting alot of leaves WILL cause the yeilds and quality to suffer.

The yellow ones and the dead one are fine to take. It's the healthy leaves people cut that I am talking about. If you have large fan leaves tuck them out of the way or tie them back to the stock. The plant will use them up then you can take them. No stress on the plant that way.

Any of you lads or ladies know at what stage i should stop tying the plant under the screen and how far should i allow the plant to reach out i am thinking just alocate each plant a 1 and a half feet square each lol.Man this scrog isnt as easy as you think.Thanks for all your input people.I may just post pics here and then you people can instruct me what to do.Later .The postman.
Were are you mobay bro keep missin you . Let me see how your russian is getting on.lol.

Well the idea is you figure how tall you can make your plants at the end and work back from there. You need at least 30 day's for the plant to develope all the antioxidents in proper portuions for a good flower. (If you are growing from clones then don't worry about that). So lets say that they are 24" tall at 30 days. They will end up about 38-46" when finished so you place the screen at 30".

Right i think ive got it now lol.Thanks zandor.ive grew from seed this time as thought i would try a change of strain so i just trained them through veg until they were sexed they vegged for 5 weeks and when they went in to 12/12 and i started threading the screen it didnt look as if they were going to fill out under it but after 5 days they have started to fill out nicely , they are under 1000 watts hps and the screen is 6ft by 5ft and im a bit paranoid that the 1000 watts is not sufficient i have read that it covers 7ft by 7ft but we all know how you can get when you get into the lunems territory lol we end up going mad , adding and adding.Dont want to go there.Heres some pics of them in veg.thanks a lot the Postman.
P.S adding lights i mean not lumens.

a 1000w is really good coverage for about 4x4 is all. For other plants it's one thing but for our plant we pump up the light.

Just remember they will grow almost double the size or more before they are done. You only want the flowers to poke through the screen if you can. That's why you put the screen so high up on the canopy. They grow into it and fill it out 100%. If they get to tall you can tie them back to the screen too.

So if you were covering an area of 6ft by 5ft what would you add to the 1000 watt to aid coverage.Would warm red cfl added to the 1000 watt be ok.Lets say 2x 200 watt full red.thanks for the input zandor.The Postman.

for our plant

I'm not sure why... but this quote rings sweet to my growers' ears...

OUR plant... I like that.... :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

here are a few old pics of how far i used to let the plants go over the screen, about 8-16 inches.

Dave is would still cover the area it's just the sides may not get as much light as the middle will. Raise the light to even it out but that brings stretching too. A light mover is a better idea if that is what you are thinking.
