hello mate, dr60 is 60cm x 60cm x 140cm from memory. i read stuff written by uncle ben on plant topping whilst reading about different ways of dealing with height and decided on scrog as i thought LST looked too much like hardwork. search for "scrog method" using google.... i might try some other ways of growing if i take it up as a hobby, but all i want from it now is maximum weed for minimum effort....i could be missing a trick though so dont write off LST...best you read and decide for yourself, good luck

so, some good news....my plants have decided to show me their sex and what looks like 2 ladies at this stage are doing just good.
here are some new snaps.....now the fun part begins as its flowering time and i've gotta try and pack on as much bud as possible over the next 8 - 10 weeks....now it gets fun!!!!


under the screen....i'll get some better ones when i fully remove all the foliage in a few weeks time...but i have some crazy shit happening under the scrog that i wasnt sure if it would break whilst training them...but so far, so good..



View from the top




and my view as i open the tent to my mini urban forrest lol




sit back and enjoy the ride and cross your fingers for me that i can pack on silly amounts of bud with my little 250 W lol (here is to hoping anyhow!)

Advice if its not too late: Build a scrog that can be taken out instead of built in. That way you can easily take out your plants with the whole setup and work on them much easier.

it's something i thought about quite a bit but was stuck for a good solution....please chip in though if you have some ideas as being able to have the plants out would be really helpful when watering and trimming etc

my floor space is only 60 cm wide and 60 cm long and my pots may be 28cm each giving me no room at all , so i would need smaller pots and they would need to be a good bit smaller too as the door narrows in smaller then 60cm with the outer tent and the raised bottom which would mean also quite a bit of a smaller scrog screen. i estimate the the space at the door when fully open to be around 50cm wide......also would have challenges holding 2 heavy plant pots at the same time and lifting them out in a tight space...i see it as unworkable which is why i left the idea alone, but if you know a way im definately up for listening as thats one of the biggest pain in the backsides about having such a small room is im so limited what i can do in there which is why ive just maxed out my space and filled it as best i could given its only my 2nd grow
if i could take those plants out to water and work on i would be up for it...so pls gimme an idea and i'll work with it

When I did scrog a while back I made this setup that i could pull out. That way i could work on all sides, water, tie down, trim etc with no problem.

Looks real nice. My Barney's BC is 10 days into flower. Instead of taking the time to clone, I decided to flower the plants from seed (after taking cuttings, of course). It made for a real messy screen.

Nice branching, btw.

WOW amazing growth bro, I have noticed my KB's really developing over the last few days too, the pistils becoming more pronounced, really starting to look like a plant in flower. Happy days!

You worried at all about height? Any plans to combat that?

yeah for just 4 weeks from the day they cracked they are booming in my hot little dr60 lol...im happy with them

am i worried about height...yep...you bet, although i learnt hard lessons in my first grow. i grew a sativa dominant strain in a short tent, but also have re-arranged the inside of my tent to give me maximum height. i can get the lamp about 6 inches away and the plants arent burnt...they have a little light bleaching but i can still probably move my light another 12 inches higher so im not too worried just yet and also hoping that in about 2 weeks the stretch should be over and it should be settling down....however, as you can see from the pics 1 week ago, they have grown probably 10 + inches in a week....just hope they dont do that again next week :mrgreen:


here is my first grow...check out the sativa right in the light shade lol.....noob lessons learnt hard and fast! that was my light maxed out and my plant not even close to being done...that cola just kept growing taller as the weeks went one...thank god for string ha!

here is a photo of the top of the tent. before i didnt have the carbon filter on the same side of the tent. i had seen others grow room set ups and had copied theirs...i had my filter on the other side of the room but that killed a good 10 inches of height as i couldnt get the light right to the top of the tent....now i have it all packed on one side i really can pull the light right up there.



im glad i only got a 4" ruck and rhino set up or i would have been smashed as i nealy got a 5" one and a cool tube which would have been a total waste of money as it wouldnt have fit in there lol
