Im working on an auto scrog right now, outdoors. The flood tray is a 4x4 tray.View attachment 4156567
Im still new to scrogging (2nd actual scrog) but common sense tells me that if he flipped to 12/12 a week ago and his screen is literally filled out to the point its overgrowing to the sides and he has two more weeks of stretch then the colas might grow too tall. Isnt the desired cola heights through the net 8 to 12 inches (please correct me if im wrong).

Very nice, I love an outdoor scrog. He has room, he even said so.
Cola height depends on when you stop tucking. Its all about having a flat canopy and even cola sizes.

Bro thats kind of a side shot, of course youll see the pots. Look inside the scrog frame. Can you see any pots now? I would add an extension scrog, wasting light and space that way though. Next time he should flip when its 70% full. Thats just my two cents.

I thought it was about 70% when I flipped. The first pic I posted was the day before I flipped.. could be that bc I have 8 plants in there, it filled quicker. Also I’m not tucking. The scrog holes are 4x6 I’ve been tying them down with garden ties very time consuming not loooking forward to doing it again

You learn from your mistakes man. Dont let this be a negative experience with scrog. Its about experience. Nothing ventured nothing gained. Ill watch your grow, keep us updated.

It’s not a negative experience at all. I just defoliate a bit and started tying down half of the plants before the lights came off. There’s plenty of room. I broke and bent the main stocks to grow around the outsides of the of the scrog border toward the middle of the net maybe that’s why it looks overflowed. I’ll post a pic tomorrow before my vaca

This pic is from this morning before I had to run to work.. I was able to tie down that back right area a bit more before my flight today. Fuckin crazy day haha.. but the screen isn’t even filled, the lights went out before I could take a pic from above. Defoliate a good bit I hope it doesn’t hurt me. Growing straight up from here. Hope all’s we’ll while im gone

Yeah man probably right. First timer out here I appreciate all the input and help. Looks like it will need defoliating. I don’t care if it’s messy I just don’t want them growing too close to the light that’s my only worry

Im guessing your light is at the maximum height? If not raise the light.

I instructed my friends to keep the light 15 inches from the canopy top. The light can go about another 15-20 inches up from where it is now

Nice. Dont you think hps that close without being aircooled is a bad idea?
Click to expand...
It is aircooled actually. Just read up and saw that it’s better to blow than suck and I got my big fan sucking out the window and a small can fan attatvhed on the other side blowing. It’s not recommended to do it that way. Prob going to look into a new set up

Just sucking is all you need. Sucking the air through is the recommended way.
Here is a pic for reference. Filter sits at the top inside the tent and the exhaust fan is outside the tent exhausting the air out of the space. Passive air intake/s (bottom left and right) and a couple of circulatory fans.

The update from back home is that there’s an infestation of fungus gnats. Planning on applying neem seed meal to the topsoil. Any other recommendations?

Seems strange to have them become a problem in older soil. Any eggs would of died or hatched awhile ago.

Im a fan of White oil used at lights off but have found that liberal use of yellow stickie seems to be a great preventative.
