Subscribed, nice looking grow. Sorry about your loss. How did the stem snap if it was supported in the screen? :confused:

I always take the top of the plant and bend it under the screen and let it grow sidways ...not a tight bend but enough to make the growth tip go sidways under the screen.. well were the bend was it buckled and bent so I decided to cut right above the bend so the plant can get on faster .. I found pineapple express dose not like to bend very much... some strains you can bend around like rubber and some are more stiff and dont want to give much..

Here you go its kinda hard to get a side view, I half to stick the camera up against the wall then shoot blind but this will kind of give you a idea... after about the 3rd week Of flower I will remove everything that dose not make it up threw the screen all flowering growth and leaves will be above the screen everything else gets trimed off..

cool journal. i was going to ask about the lower growth. Almost semms like the screen should be lower but I'm sure you know what your doing and will probably strecth anyways. I was planning on gettin some PE but I ended up getting blue cheese instead. Good luck ill stay tuned.

Would it be better to not trim the leafs below the screen since when the plant is flushing, it uses up the rest of the good stuff in the leafs?

I Like it somwhat high so I can poor in my nutrients and water in from below the screen just makes it easyier to have some room, plus if the bubble wond gets caked up I can romove it for cleaning.. but yeah we will see how she turns out Ive never done PE but so far I can tell you one thing its almost a pure Indica..

Yes thats why i will leave them on for awhile cause between 3-4 weeks of flower there will be no light penitrating the canopy down there they will actually start to yellow and die off by then...

yeah that makes sense not only does it make it easier to manage for you it will increase airflow giving the plant CO2 and all so It definately isn't going to hurt em.

I just read through the thread. Very informative. Do you put your germinated seeds straight into the hydroton, or do you use rockwool?

I might decide to get me one or two of these waterfarms to use in my 2'x2'x4' tent with a 150w HPS and 125w Daylight CFL. How often do you change the water?

Yes I germinate till tap root is about 1/2" long using a wet paper towel in a sandwich bag... then I dig some hydro ton out the center of the water farm so water dripping from the ring flows to the center.. I place the tap root inbetween a few peices of hyroton in the center.. just make sure it stays wet where you put it.. after a day or two you will not have to worry cause the tap root will already be a few inches long.. as the growth tip comes up even with the rest of the hydroton I then pile the hydroton back around the stalk..

oh and for a 2ftX2ft growroom you will only need one trust me it will fill up the whole thing if you vege for more then 3 weeks.. and would probly go with a 250w CMH or HPS for that setup.. IMO

THe resivor is 2 gallons and when I top off with 2 gallons of fresh water the following day I will change.. and as of right now its drinking almost a gallon of water a day so about every 3 days or so right now... thoe you could top with nute water if you figure out the plants exact needs and flush once every 2 weeks just have to get the plant dialed in and use your PPM or EC meter.... Ideal would be to see the water drop down and the PPM or EC stay the exact same... if you PPM or EC is going up when the water is going down then it wants more water then nutes.... If the PPM or EC go's lower with water drop say 1000-850 then the plant wants a stronger mix of nutes... I have had great results with both methods... hope that helps

Ill add one more tip and thats keep your nutrients simple I use GH Flora Nova BLOOM only threw the entire grow ONE bottle dose it all If there are any old scholers here From overgrow you know this as the Lucas formula.. I use no additives like koolboom, kabloom, epson salts, dark energy, etc... nothing but Flora Nova bloom.. it has everthing the plant needs no need to add a bunch of gimicky additives cause from what ive learned it has never raised my yeilds or trich production.. Keep it simple and try not to ever overfert... the more healthy them roots are the better the end product will be...

+Rep for actually taking the time to answer my questions thoroughly. Really appreciate it.

"then I dig some hydro ton out the center of the water farm so water dripping from the ring flows to the center" So you basically just make a little crevice in the middle of the waterfarm and then place the germinated seed under some hydroton and after 2-3 days, it will sprout?

When you change the water, how do you go about doing so with the SCROG screen in place? Lucas formula is 300ppm for seedlings, 800-1000ppm for veg, and 1100-1500ppm for flower right?

I had a 400w MH/HPS that I used for 2 grows, but I have to downsize to a 150w due to my living situation. I should have bought the 250w, but I gotta roll with what I have.
