No just averaging that kind of weight per plant. I need to get rid of this skunk. I've been just letting them grow no training. Just get a small cola and popcorn. I haven't built the final flowering set up due to money but flowering in the stinkbud vegger is doing the job for now. Well see what happens with the scrog. I cut back on the number of plants too.

Then I have blackberry and papaya on the way from nirvana so just gotta hold out till they get going. Get some loot and make my new flowering system.

I hear you Evo.
I don't keep moms, therefore my weight flucts too since I crack new seeds everytime.
To be honest, there's is nothing I regret NOT cloning.
That's a good thing ! lol
Most def learn SCROG.
It will increase your yield tremendously !
I went to Lowes, spent $20+/- on 1/2 inch PVC pipe, elbows and PVC netting with 2 inch square holes (2ft x 25ft roll) for my set up.
Here's some pics of it w/ some Gorilla Grape by Outlaw Grower that I SCROG'd over 2yrs ago w/ 2gal Smart Pots..................

Hey flo I'm on the fence about switching from botanicare to GH. The botanicare has been doing fine but the amount per gallon used compared to GH to me seem way less.

I was curious what else you use if anything ? With the botanicare nutes I use sweet, calmag,pro blend bloom, and liquid karma.

For veg I have been using some GH micro and gro along with techna flora's magi-cal.

I have only used GH Flora Micro and Bloom for the last 3 grows.
Still have a whole lineup of PBP nutes for when I do Pro-Mix, Coco, Perlite and those kinds of soilless mediums.
I do add PBP Cal/Mag (the whole time) and Liquid Karma (for first 2 or 3 weeks of bloom) to my DWC.
Less is more and no plants need to be ran above 700 or 800 in bloom really.
Not if everything is in balance.

Yah I read up on the whole lucas formula and everything along with it off lucasformula.com.

I'm going to make the switch. GH nutes are just more concentrated requiring less and saving you money. Botanicare I'm using four parts out of that three of them use over 125ml and the bloom mix is like 580ml. Compared to GH id be using 80ml of micro and 160ml of bloom.

But on another note I have a question for you flo. With the scrog I have going. I should be making sure the canopy stays underneath the whole screen right ? Then when I flower I can either untie or lift the screen and let them bud ? I've been making sure to tie and train them to keep them under totally.

Sorry I took so long to get back.
Internet been out for 2 days.....

You train each stem/branch along, and under, the screen.
You want a bud site in as many holes as you can get.
When the stem/branch tip grows an inch or 2 above the screen, tuck it back under and guide it to the next hole you want.
I use a roll of plant ties (like the ones on bread loafs) and snip what I need and tie it down.
Depending on the strain and it's stretch, you may have to fill only half your screen or as much as 3/4 before you stop training and just let it grow at that point.
After 2 weeks in bloom, cut EVERY BUD SITE that is not above the screen !

Ah np. Seems like I got it right then atleast up to now. They still got another week or two in veg and then ill flower them.

After seeing what you got with just your 400watt light I've been debating on just using mine and seeing what I get. If they look like they need more light I got the 1k watt light for back up.

Yah so when their showing their bud sites we are training for colas only so cutting all the popcorn makes sense. As much as I trim now I still get a lot of popcorn. Between not doing any type of training when they grow and to many plants in a small space I've been fucking myself. Live and learn though.

Think 10 plants in a 4x4 scrog is going to be to much ? I'm lsting them now so they all grow out in seperate angles.

Most would say NO to 10 plants in a 4x4 area, but the basic rule for SCROG is 1 sq ft per plant AT LEAST.
It's also strain dependent.
Sativa vs Indica percentage in the hybrid really.

I'm growing some skunk supposedly. Not sure really I got a few clones from a friends friend to start off but like I said I'm not happy or impressed with it in anyway. Its a indica mostly definitely they don't get too big. Doesn't yield for shit either

If its one plant per sq ft I should be good then. With them being smaller plants and all. The tent being 4x4 that's 16sq ft so 16 plants should by rule fit in there.
