Bob, thanx! I sure hope you stick around buddy, we need more folks with history.
Will definitely stick around for this grow, but I'm a SOG guy at heart - if it ain't at least 2 plants/sf, I don't like :?

Some guys like blondes, some like brunettes.............but I'm certainly hoping SCROG lets me salvage some of this harvest.

here are some pics of my last scrog a year or so ago, first shot is clones getting ready and the last is under the canopy the screen was a 4x5 with two 400 and two flouros with reptile lights for a total of 870 watts, the 400 were on rails traveling 3ft each and the flouros were ran between the rails, as far as if reptile lights are effective i would say definately yes on this particular strain master kush x bubba kush you could clearly see more trichome development on the middle plants directly under the reptile lights very frosty however potentcy did not seem to change much. the room was completly sealed and kept around 85 F with supplemental co2 around 1600ppm, the plants were grown in 5 gallon bags with 3 gallons of coco, on a plastic sheet made into a tray with two layers of capillary matting connecting all the plants water together, feed was dutch master gold with several different additives and botanicare sweet for carbs, this was set up on a timer to run twice a day until there was run off, the runoff stayed in the tray and with the capillary matting was evenly reabsorbed back into the plants. there was also a very aggresive foliar feed program with dutch master penetrator, liquid light, max-fx, and folitech, two weeks into flower one treatment of phosphoad followed by two flushings. the screen frame was just made of 2x2 pieces of wood and 2x4's at the base and 1.5" plastic chicken wire screen stretched and stapled onto the frame the frame was setup 12 inches from the top of the grow bags and 18" from the ground, this grow room was in an attic so head space was very limited, so using a screen and rails both helped to condense the setup to not overgrow. at harvest i simply cut the stems and cutout 1sqft sections of screen and manicured it piece by piece. all in all the yield was 39oz dry ( 30 dry oz of quality flower 9 oz of popcorn buds ) and 4 marbles of bubble hash

gotta question for you experienced scroggers, as I'm on my first try.

I have a scrog, about 2'x2', with a light about 20 inches away. I have three plants under it, and there lookin pretty good so far. One of em is a little faster than the other two, and is starting to bud quite nicely, almost into third week of switching lights to 12/12.

My question is... I started flowering right when some of the first tips were touching the screen. I figured by the time flowering was over they would grow and fill all the holes. Now two weeks later, theres some colas poking up out of the screen a couple inches, but a lot of the buds are still beneath the screen. did I fuck up? If so whats a good way to fix it? I raised the plant off the ground a couple inches in hopes that more growth will start to build up the canopy. Thanks:bigjoint:

Im working from theory here but the plants shouldn't be flowered until they are trained for the screen. it was too early to put them into flower, should wait at least a couple more weeks or until the screen is full of foliage then flower. The idea is to allow the plant to grow sideways thus alleviating flowers on the lower part of the plant not getting much light. Also for controlling height growth if that is a concern.

so what would be the thing to do now? would it be ok to just not mess with and let it bud, or is it gonna give me some retarded buds?

Well at least now I'll know for my next scrog attempt, learnin from your mistakes is half the fun!!

lol but still the best way to learn, I dont think you will have "retarded" buds but i do imagine it will reduce your overall yield.

ah laaame..well maybe when i get back from visiting the fam i'll lower the screen, or raise the plants up..cheat a little, but maybe get more light to some of the smaller buds underneath. god damn, the plant reeks though!!! its great, wakin up in the morning and just gettin a huge whiff of chronic growing..lol. thanks for the help, will see what i can do!!
 
got another q for ya's all!.....................What next? lol. I moved my girls from directly under arc to back of light. Do i want to start going left or right or forward,then turn?
