The Scrog Club

This is a new thread(im sure there's old ones) where I would like to see what and how everyone does their Scrog's. Lots of pics would be the goal and helping people with different training techniques and advice. So come on all you flat plant growers.

Here's a chronological slide show of my grows. I have been growing for almost a year now. Had all sorts of problems but still ended up with some real good herb.

1st plant ever flowered White Widow(pheno3)
Grown in Potting soil(only soil I would do)
Flowered for 12 weeks
Final Harvest 1.75oz

First Day of flower

Week 11 Flower


Second Grow
White Widow (1&2 Pheno)
Flowered 11 weeks
Harvest Weight 9.75oz(5 plants total)

Day 7 of flower

Week 11 of Flower


Third Grow
Blue Kush(Failed Grow, all plants killed in week 6)
This grow was full of problems. First on the list was a hell of a spider mite infestation. I was also trying to run organic hydro for the first time and the plants weren't as healthy as I was used to. And the Final Killer was adding General Organics cal/mag and Bio Root. Plants were alive when it went in, and 8 hours later were dead. Grusome pics, not for the light at heart.

First day of flower

A couple of days before the Bio Root incident

A few Hours after Bio Root added


4th Grow
Mango
Flowered for 9 weeks
Final Harvest weight 1.5oz.
I was trying to see what I could get from a single, fairly large plant, but this grow was full of spider mites still nad didnt go very well.

First Day of Flower

Last week of flower


And this is my current grow
Blue kush
9 week Flower
Final Harvest???
This is my current grow and my best by far. I upgraded from a single 400w to dual 600w's and my screen went from 3'x3' to 3'x8'. I have only harvested the left half of the screen and will be harvesting the right side in a few weeks. I will post the weights when I know them.

First Day of Flower

Day 7 flower for the right side

Week 8 Flower Left Side

nice. i need to hurry up and make a screen. been wanting to try it but shit just keeps happening.

I love scrogs but my space is better suited for a soil sog imo, but I was thinking about setting up a dwc scrog similar to yours in the near future. could you post a shot of the totes you use?

oh yeah, forgot to mention: there's a Scroggers thread probably on the same page as this one.

Beginning of flower.



Towards the end of flower



1 600W HPS, 3 Plants, 3 weeks Veg, Humboldt Nutrients Master A&B. 4x4 Hydro Hut.

The final weigh in is done. I was pretty suprised with the outcome. so heres the low down.

Here you go. I use wide shallow Serilite 16qt tubs that can only hold 5 gallons of nutrients. I use 6 6" air discs hooked up to 2 GH air pumps.
Here's the tubs


and here's the pumps

Looks great Shrub. Should be some great some after your harvest.

It's an apprentice of mines grow. I just enjoy showing it off

I also enjoy smoking the product.

thanks for posting those man. you can turn each set of barbs on/off on those pumps yea? so you more or less use one and a half pumps per tote?
and can you explain how you refill each tote while your plants are all caught up in the scrog? I see you have the waste valve but then you just refill with the tote top still on through one of the open container slots?
sorry for the noob questions, but Im so green when it comes to anything hydro haha, so much thanks for the responses

No problem. I like to help. I actually use both pumps with all the valaves open. if you look closely at the tub pic, I run 6 discs and 2 12" air sticks.

As far as changing the res, its a lot easier than it looks. You can see the drain valve on the bottom right of the tub. I simply hook my inline pump uo to that with an empty 5 gal bucket on the other end. Then I just pump it empty by lifting up the opposite corner of the tub and putting a roll of duct tape under it to make it all go towards the valve. Before I drain it, I mix up a fresh batch of nutrients in a different 5 gallon bucket with a valve on the bottom of it.

So once the tub had been drained, I just hook tubing from the 5 gallon bucket to the res and let gravity fill it for me. The whole process takes about 20min. Any other questions, feel free to ask.

CHa CHinG...you know im in..integra u da man..16?!?!?!?!great job..sorry bout the one plant or deal. im doing the same..i hope ta get at least 8-9 off my og kush..vegged for 5 weeks..then placed under a 4x2 screen and vegged 2 more weeks...now in flower for 7 days...600watt hps 6'' inline' carbon scrubber a few ocillators dwc/top feed usen gh floranva full line with big bud added...integ wassup buddy am i aimin too high for the one kush plant??oh yea addin co2 in a few weeks..heres a few shots

Now that I've gotten a chance to see it, Id say thats a good guess, and depending on how high of a yield that strain averages and how much more she's gona stretch, it might even be a little more.

Good, thats what I was hoping for. Hoping to get a lot of useful knowledge and examples of all the different ways to do scrogs in here.

Wuzzup integra I just read most of your journal last night trying to learn about dwc. And then ended up goin thru Cropalotapot's journal with the flood and drain tables and saw that you were followin that last year. He sure does nice work. Im goin dwc after a few runs with the current setup. It really looks like the highest yielding method .

Anyway congrats on a sweet scrog you just finished. Im running a scrog right now in the back yard shed. Just started my third week of flower on my first run. Im doing a 3'x6.5' flood and drain table with a 1/2 inch pvc frame attached to it to hold my screen. I have two air cooled digital hps 1000s for lighting, and rockwool for my medium. I had a lot of problems thru veg from root rot to nute burn but it was a good learning experience and they look pretty good now. Heres a few pics from 2 weeks ago.

damn quick rip!!love the set up...my wife would never get me outa there..and integ the first pic was veg and the last to are flower..the one og kush has a 3.75 ft canopy at this point and og is a lanky in my opinion unless trained otherwise

i noticed alot of powdery mildew on one of your pics, could it be your room isnt dialed in properly?-and youre posting in an advanced growing section?-unsuscribed!
