Your under-canopy looks brilliant, proper twisted!

I've made a new screen for the new run, the full 120x120 this time. I had 8 clones that seemed to be doing well, so they're all going under. Probably veg it for 2-3 weeks more I guess then switch to 12/12. I want less going on in the canopy and taller tops this time, so maybe only train for a few days during stretch rather than 2 weeks. 20140518_101140.jpg

I have a sheet of 8x4 galvanized wire mesh with 2" sections, but I was unsure whether the galvanize would have a negative effect on the plants. I wondered about the implications of the zinc (? Is that what galv is) and stems rubbing and maybe transfer through the stems. Then the possibility of iron oxide after prolonged use.
You're right though, it would be ideal in it's rigidity and construction. Imagine an 8x4 scrog under a couple of k, just by lowering a single sheet onto a bunch of lst'd plants. could be the way to go, but not until I've found the answer to my concerns about possible transfer of elements to the plants. Plasticoted mesh may be the best option here ...

Taken yesterday, so a week after the last shot. Up to full 600w on the hps now. Bollox to it. Hang the expense. Let's get these fuckers growing. Might have to look at improving the ventilation though, getting pretty toasty in there. Summer+attic=hothot.

pretty impressive for 150w
Insanely good for 150w. Not sure I'm ready to ditch the 600, but then I havn't had an electricity bill yet...
Wow! That quality with that yield under a 150? That is stupendous!
When you say 'organic' do you mean 'organic bottled nutruents' or a blend of shits, teas and other natural bits and bobs? And in soil presumably too?
Very, very impressed. Still!
Thanks guys, it was actually a little low on yield about an oz less compared to usual with the 150w. Quality was very good though for sure. Still have some left with close to 16 months cure on it now. Smokes great.

It was in FFOF, I dont remember if I added anything extra to the mix that round or not, sometimes I add a little extra perlite, ewc, dolomite, coco, or guano. I think it was just ocean forest and maybe extra perlite that run.

Watered with ACTs and a little bit of Bio Canna Flores a couple times, but other than that just plain RO water and a little molasses for the microbes once and a while. The yield on that scrog run was 2.5oz and flowered for about 8 weeks 12/12 maybe a few days more.

Well I've solved the daytime overheating problem. Plug in the timer and go 12/12.
I think there's enough in there to fill the screen. The smallest plants are towards the middle of the screen, so hopefully the brighter light in the centre should help even that up.

Those plants look decent DA.. you could start them on a flush now , they do look like they could do with another week or so.. But i don't mind taking a plant a early if its suitable..

Thanks brotha

IMG_20140623_085331.jpg Wow, it got dusty in here. Time to reopen this club...

So here's the screen, nicely full and a couple of days under 4 weeks in flower. There's a couple of tops that are a little high in the canopy, but i'm still trying to work out the optimum height to get each top to for the ideal mini-cola size.
I really stripped out a lot of leaf this time 2 days before i stopped training and let the stretch finish up. I thought i'd been a bit heavy handed, but i tried to make sure there was still a full layer of leaves below or on the screen. Nothing died, so i think i got away with it. i had pics, but i've killed that phone. So no pics. Sorry.

These pics were taken on my xoom which only has a 5 mp camera, but you gotta work with what you have.

looks good. looks like it filled in nicely.
i think the best way is to make a bowl shape with tall buds on the outside so the light spreads evenly.
in my one time scrog experience i learned that it's good to have the buds come above the screen about 6 inches or so, those seem to be the fattest tops. the short ones near the screen don't get as big.
yours looks like it's at a good height. but of course, that big fat one near the middle is going to stretch a lot.

here's mine at 9 weeks if you want to check it out... https://www.rollitup.org/t/enter-the-scrog-scroggers-united-post-page.515987/page-234#post-10632715

When i put the screen on i did put the weaker specimines in the middle, but what with one thing and another, it's a differnt story now. The 'dominant cola' is looking like it will out perform the others for sure.
Gotta be another 5 weeks or more to run, so what the final outcome will be is anyones guess.
I'm not sure growing out these clones was as much fun as from seed, so i'm gonna run some regular skunk #1 next time from seed. I plan on saving a male and getting some more seed stock, and i'll play at cloning too. I'm tempted to go nft too...

Can anyone tell me how well or shit fertiloom works...... I'm going to pop some nukeheads seeds soon and I was given fertiloom in soluble nutrient form one for grow and one for bloom, I normally use foxfarm, but this stuff is much much cheaper and if it is as good as they say it is, used from seedling you could max a scrog screen in 4 maybe 6 weeks of veg..... not that I want a 100% full screen In veg, but it is the idea that this nutrient could do it........ so yeah feel free
