Top stuff mate, looking awesome!! I love doing single plant scrogs, keeping an even canopy yields big rewards! How good is it now that autumn is here? Summer here smashed me as well, my grow over summer turned out a joke! Good luck with the grow mate :)

Thanks for the reply and likes @eastcoastmo i was doing some more training and lst yesterday and snapped two stems within the hour ! , was not a happy camper , i splinted them both and wrapped with tape , one survived and one did not , spewing!

It should be okay because there eas side branching down lower on said branch that didnt survive so im guessing that will push auxins down to them , but im sure you know that heart sinking feeling lol!


Yea summer was fucked for me , i caused myself a herm and lost my crop so i rekon you did better then me !
Glad to have you on board , buddy , should stick around for the ride !

KANNA I am running Coco I have a rather large plantI know I should repot it but it's almost done budding. I've tried everything but it still seems that I have a lock up of some sort. I've been feeding or flushing with 25% nutrients. (CEC) The little sugar leaves are curling please look at my pictures and help anyway you can

Oh no man, not great but you are right, at least the lower tops will shoot up now!!
Man, I'm really surprised none of mine hermed, they were definitely crispy. The smoke on all of them was the worst I've ever had, tasted like grass! Sounds like we both didnt fare too well. Here's to better buds now it's autumn!
Cheers bro, I'll stick around for sure :)

What temps do you have mate? It looks like they may be transpiring too quickly and so the leaves are taking the brunt.
Another thing to check is the runoff after feeding, it may be 6 going in but if they arent sucking up the nutes, it may be coming out higher...

@charlestonchunk , im flattered your asking my advice because im no seasoned vet, but from what you have described.... Well to me it looks like to much nitroen coupled with high temps . When its hot your girl will drink more water and less nutes , so maybe just flush through with plain ph water at 5.8 maybe a tad lower , and after you are getting good runoff leave it until its stopped running out the bottom of the container just about . Then when youve achieved that , id go some very light nutrients , and because your media is already saturated , id just go a couple of litres, its hard to give you sound advice without knowing what nutrients your using , maybe you can elaborate

And also , its okay to flush with lots of water , just watch the frequency in which your flushing. You could also be drowning the roots , so give it a good flush and top off with a little bit of nutrient water and give it a day or two , things should get better. Try not to stress as hard as it seems, i swear they can sence that lol

Try not to focus on the affected leaves too much , look to the newer growth , because the leaves that are affexted may take quite some time
To correct themselfes

CEC nutes. 1.6 EC. Taph2o @ 90 TDS ph 6 ish. Over fert is not it because I was running 1.2 EC max but Hydro store dude said they were being way underfed. He stated "cal mag is a crutch), obviously he wants to sell fertilizer and I get that, but there should be enough in the nutrients ith tapwTer . I obviously got some. Small pot massive plant. If I'm careful careful I see no reason I could not put it in a grow bag. They say never Translant plant autos and I've grown them side-by-side with similar results. I think I answered my own question I need to transplant that bitch ... It's not like it could hurt anything

advanced nutrients without the pink are basically what those nutrients are. This is not an automatic obviously but I was saying I've transplanted those without issues

Update time guys and girls

Its been 2 days since some rather agressive lst as you may have read and seen, broke two branches , one survived one did not, was pretty upset with that but not much can be done. The nodes further down the branch that could not be saved are shooting up nice.
This plant is frankly a pain to train , its prob because im heavy handed but when im bending the growth shoots , no matter how much i bend them , they correct themselfes overnight :-|

Anyways
Heres some pics for your viewing pleasure

Cant be too upset with how things are going because it appears to be very healthy , apart from a small bit of " the claw " one one or two leaves here and there.

As you can all see im using this shitty ebay net as a pre scrog screen , but im wondering when i should lace up the scrog i built , and when to place it in the tent , and also how far above the top of the container it should be secured ? Id appreciate any advice here as its the first time iv used a scrog , and although im doing okay, im having a bit of trouble keeping an even canopy at this stage .
And im using lst as appose to aggressive topping right now as its only early days and i want to promote good growth and really get this girl going before i top it too much.

Anyways
Thats about all for now
Feel free to reply to that scrog question i asked as im getting a little impatient and feel i should be doing more to encourage a nice flat and even canopy

Cheers
Kannah

Looking good champ, I'm sure those new tops will grow nicely too!!

I usually put my scrog net in about a week or so after going to flower (after a little bit of stretch) and I generally put it about 5 or 6 inches above the plant to allow for the stretch to fill it. That's just me though, I've seen others put the net in prior to flowering and put it about 6-8 inches above the plant.

Awesome , i was going to drop it in a few weeks before flower and let it grow up and into the screen to fill it

Im just worried about getting this girl to grow sideways not upwards , as i have a m2 to fill. From memmory as a plant matures the space between nodes also stretch allowing me more under canopy space ( im just worried that ill make the canopy full to quick and leave myself not enough room to water underneath the screen )

All a learning curve i guess

Do you defoliate under the screen ?

Sorry if that didnt make much sence , its all pretty complex to explain for me

Im just a.d.d. To the max and learning via text is super difficult and also im a bit of a perfectionist

I used to just vege until i had a nice dome shaped bush type plant around the size of the container it was in and flip the switch to flower. It always worked and yielded well but there were always some large tops and others were small , and id also get heaps of popcorn, im drawn to scrog because you get that amazing symetry and can really take advantage of the full footprint of your lamp and with an even canopy you generally get rewarded with a perfect blanket of budlees :-)!

Im just afraid im going to fuck this up

It's all good bro, I totally got what you mean.
When doing scrog, you want about 70% of the screen (or screen size) to be filled before you flip to flower. So if you put the screen over prior to flip, fill it out to 70%, then flip and as it stretches, keep tucking the tops back under the net as they pop up.

Do you guys think " bouta pound "
Is possible with my setup , i know there are alot of variables , im really going to try to fill this canopy before i flip

Im using a 54 litre container , 600w lamp and a 1x1x2 m tent

It's definitely possible. There is a guy that ysed to frequent these boards named Flowamasta that used to pull nearly 2lb from one plant under a 600w. He used a recirculating hydro system (which I've used successfully as well) and his plants used to be monsters!! So it's most definitely possible...especially with a neatly arranged scrog :)
