PR1 3 plant scrog 400w cabinet grow soil

[akecana]

This is my first scrog attempt. I have had 2 previous grows in a small cabinet here are the pictures of my cuttings in the soil one week after repotting from the clay balls I got them in. In here youll see my home made cool tube. Probably my best invention yet!

Im going to try and emulate some of the scrogs ive been watching over the last couple of years. I am also going to need advice in some areas because im new to this method/ sort of! Here are some pics of my setup.

looking good, are those clones? the 1 draw back with scrog is the extremely long veg time which is only a problem if you don't have a separate veg space. also if this is gonna be a scrog you had better start topping and lst NOW. the earlier you do the better screen coverage you will get in the long run. the idea is to lst early and frequently so when the time comes to put the screen on you have many many different tops/branches to tie to the screen. this way the screen fills up much faster and more evenly than if you just had 2-3 main branches. with clones i always topped and started lst as soon as they were established with seed plants (which are more difficult to scrog due to not having a uniform growth pattern or finish date) i topped and started lst once they were on there 4th node. it looks like your on your way to a great grow/harvest. good luck

ya good luck man. im currently trying my first scrog grow as well. but im starting from seed. wich is more dificult and i have just started flowering. ill be watchin this thread. ttyl.

[TresLeches]

Ill top these babies in two days time. I grow all this because of a friend of mine smokes a lot of weed due to a medical condition. He doesn’t like to go out much and he asks me to fix him up with weed and I got sick of it, having to pay a dealer who I didn’t like that much and the inconvenience of traveling added up and made me decide to grow.
I don’t sell any weed so I can just concentrate on growing good stuff that’s dried and cured right.

Here is picture 1 2 and 3. the smaller of the three clones is slower than the other 2. One of them has really taken hold well and is looking a ok. I like the color of the leaves.
I cant wait for the babies to start bushing out.

To JUSTASEED yes these were clones 3 pr1 clones infact. And they already smell very pungent and dark. Im going to build the screen at the weekend and then the week after ill repot the plants, putting them into the sunken 5 gal pots. The light isn’t a factor to consider in terms of plant danger zone because the cool tube is so efficient the glass is only mild/moderately hot. Im going to install an active intake to add some more airflow passive has been ok though but id suggest active is best as it powers fresh air and circulates it more.

[justaseed]

i scrogged a good deal and i learned over time that with cabinet scrogs it becomes necessary to have an intake above the screen as well as below because as the buds fatten up late in flower, they tend to form a barrier that blocks air circulation from below to above the screen. it might be a good idea to put one in as soon as possible to avoid any heat stresst problems later. i used a cooltube as well and the upper intake was still necessary. i wish someone would have told me this little tip when i was building my scrog cabinet, instead i had to do it right in the middle of a grow because the airflow got so restricted that the plants began to suffer. the upper intake solved all those problems. keep it up, you plants look great

JUSTASEED////// I have to say any advice from you will be carved in stone in my journal. Hats off to the tricks youâ??ve shown me in your old grow. I am hoping to gain enough experience so I can share with others as you have.
My last grows suffered from the problem you highlight. A lack of airflow between the canopies caused the plant to suffer. What were the plans for your cool-tube by the way, what fan did you use etc. did you use clean air from outside the cab to cool the bulb?
