Got a thread in the micro grow section but not getting any feedback on how this scrog should be done so hoping I can get an answer here, heres the link to it anyway https://www.rollitup.org/t/1st-ever-grow-using-mr-grow-pro.816045/
About to scrog my blue mystic in my pc grow box!
-Here is just an overall shot of her at 5 weeks in.
- Attempted close up of top but bad camera and 0 skill with it
-Heres a shot showing how close she is to my scrog net, planning to being the scrog soon as she reaches it!
- Just a shot to put the height of the box at 27" into perspective.
- Another shot in the case
- Above shot
- Side shot
- Yellow leaves at base
-More discoloration at base
In my earlier posts I was talking about LST, but did some research and what I'll actually be doing is Scrog aka Screen of green, as the set up is pretty perfect for it.
This is a large Pc case standing at 27" tall and I'd love to be able to utilize all the height available. How should I go about this? This is what I've grasped so far although I could be wrong!
With this scrog technique i'm going to use my net thing as seen above, and just continuously bend her down and around the netting until I've fulled covered the width and depth of the case to create the Screen of green as the scrog name suggests. So do I just stay in veg until I've got the screen as good as I want, then just flower away? What I'm confused about is the height, how can I use this space to its full capacity? Do i just flower and let her grow as high as she can then harvest when shes reached the top? I'm planning to begin the scrog at just before half way as I've read they generally double in height during flowering.
In the photos you can also see some slight discoloration on the leaves at the bottom such as yellow spots, these are very few though and only the leaves at the very base, what is this? Should this be happening and is it a big deal?
I was also wondering in investing in some flowering nuets for when i throw her into 12/12, is this worth the money, note I will be buying them online if i do so shipping and what not are also a factor.
When I scrog it, due to the design on the case im actually able to move the lights from the top to the sides. There are 3 separate lights that can be seen in first thread. Should I say move 1 to each side and keep one on the top or just leave them both there?
Anyway hopefully I can get some feedback if anyone has the time, would help so much!
Thanks

With your height I'm going to recommend flowering when the screen is 50% full then continue to train the rest of the net through the stretch.

What I'm confused about is the height, how can I use this space to its full capacity?
I believe if you fill the net 50% as i said above you will be very close to your max height at the end of flowering, could be wrong though, basically its speculation because obviously i have no idea how much that plant will stretch.

Do i just flower and let her grow as high as she can then harvest when shes reached the top?
I would avoid trying this since you'll most likely end up chopping way to early. You don't want airy pre-mature buds do ya?

Looks to me like a PH / Over feeding issue, others should chime in on this, better to have different opinions

I was also wondering in investing in some flowering nuets for when i throw her into 12/12, is this worth the money, note I will be buying them online if i do so shipping and what not are also a factor.
Yes, of course. I would recommend Dyna-gro or Botanicare nutrient lines, stay far far away from harsh bloom boosters until you are VERY comfortable with growing.

Top lights with supplemental side lighting is awesome man, do that for sure.

Anyway hopefully I can get some feedback if anyone has the time, would help so much! Thanks
You're welcome :blsmoke:

Awesome thanks man!
So I've begun with the scrog, here are some photos, sorry for the bad photos, hopefully you guys can make them out.
IMG_0025.JPG - Okay so as you can see here the top had grown through about 3 inches and figured it was time to bend her back over and through the net. I couldn't quite get here to fit under one of the squares fully so I've secured her with a piece of string, you can see the black string around with steam and where its been tied off. From what I understand, this will grow and ill eventually have her go right under the net and pop back up in the next square then repeat the process? Should I be tucking the fan leaves under the net as well, or just let these do their own thing?

Just some more photos of the scrog for reference.
