Glad your back!

I would like to thank you woodsmantoker and all of the others who have contributed to this thread. Here are a few pictures from day 58 of flowering my first scrog setup. I just started flushing today but wanted to take the time to let you know that I appreciate the information contained in this thread.

Those look so damn good Tman, what strain?

Pic 5500 & 5502 are Barneys Farm Red Diesel. It wasn't doing very well when it started flowering but it pulled through ok. 5503 and 5505 are Jack Herer (was given these seeds not in breeders packs so not 100% sure). 5519 is an unknown purple variety (last run for it though) and the rest (big screen, close ups and single shots) are ununknown strain from the Portland Oregon are that has been around since the 70's (that I was lucky enough to have been gifted about 5 years ago) which is perfect for scrog. And thanks for the compliment businessmen, I can't wait for the final products.

tman42,


Congrats on your first scrog and welcome. I am very pleased to have been able to provide you with this resource and thank you for your contribution to it. Bringing what you have learned back to share is what truly makes this thread the resource that it is, and I could never have gotten this thread where it is today without the resources that folks like you provide. Thank you!

You're work proceeds you my friend, I agree that you have a very fine looking crop to harvest. Enjoy!

I mentioned Vortex as a fast becoming favorite of mine, and how well suited for scrog it truly is. I didn’t mention that I am not the only one who thinks so highly of it however...

Beware of the Vortex:

Glad to see that your back, I read your posts that you got in trouble didnt see a problem, but what do I know. I wouldn't think a bunch of stoners would be so sensitive.
I've been thinking of ordering some tga seeds, and was wondering what that vortex high is like?

Hey guys, just stopping by. I came across this thread looking up info on scrog. i JUST finished going thru all 61 pages...and damn you guys have a lot great info. Been scrogging on my last 2 grows and picked up some really great knowledge from everyone participating on this thread. Here are some pics of my current progress on my 2nd scrog. These are pictures from the first week of flowering.

any feedback or comments are welcomed...=)

i am just getting ready to try my first scrog and first dwc grow. i 2 have read up alot on it, and you look like it's going perfect, i guess i have 1 question for the experienced and maybe some info for us both (ghostrider). looking at your screen grid i think i read you try to fill from the outside in and it looks like the center is going bigger on your pics and i can't tell if you've bent the stems over to the sides to do that, like i said i'm learning and that is a perfect picture of why i'm asking. all suggestions are appreciated,,,woodsman and other pros especially.

Vortex is a very up high, medi great!

I have been working with two pheno's. My mother plant is of the largest of the pheno types. The second one was found in the same pack of 10 that my mother was in and it is a very small plant. The larger plant has a very unique smell with large dense buds. It’s a VERY smelly finished bud that got me into trouble in a restaurant a few weeks ago. I was asked to leave...That smelly. LOL I smiled and proudly left knowing I only had a single bud on me, and that it was smelled through the med container.

The smaller pheno is the most powerful we have found. It harvests very little yet has twice the punch and almost no smell for the majority of the flowering period until it gains a very sweet mixed fruits and flowers smell that delights the senses. I keep these two very different pheno types due to the differences in medicinal quality of each. Though the smaller pheno produces little, it is only a small amount that you need to be satisfied. The larger, a longer felt day smoke that keeps pains and spasm at bay.

ghostbud;

Glad to have ya buddy!, I see your flowering prior to filling the screen, any particular reason?

I fill from the inside out...I think that was your question..?

AK49th:

I actually train the same way woodmanstoker does. I train inside out. In those pictures I have two strains, 3 being Power Plant and the other 3 are OG Kush. My method was I let the plant grow about a little under 24 inches then placed the screen on top and started poking each individual stem/node thru the screen. The top cola was center and the other branches were trained quite often to keep them stretching to fill the screen. I could have saved some time by fimming/topping the plant to fill the screen faster but I was unaware of how to properly employ that technique until I came across this thread. Always trying to learn something new.

Woodmanstoker:

From my standpoint I figured that at least 75 - 80% of the screen was filled. So I was estimating that the other 20-25% would be filled during the growth spurt of the first to second week of flower. The pictures posted don't do the OG's any justice. They're so skinny you can barely see them in the pictures. Currently, there is a lot of new growth and the screen looks fairly full and healthy but should I have filled the screen 100% then flower?

Will upload new pics soon.

I think so. The question is how? I would suggest training bushes as I often do. It is strain dependent as to what you can do as far as training however. If your OG does not train well, then I would suggest using another method for the plant. It may produce more heavily under different circumstances. A few runs with it though and you will know what it likes. The Power Plant looks like it will fill nicely. Looking good friend, keep us updated!

Woodsman,

One guideline I have read is to only begin flowering when the vegitation fills 2/3 of the screen. The last third can be filled with stretch.

Here is my latest crop just before the screen was put in (3 plants, 4 sq.ft.); the second picture is how it filled in after 18 days.

Nitegazer,

Depending on the strain that you are using, "pre flower stretch" can be timed accordingly and used to train/fill the remainder of the screen. I recommend to first timers however, that they fill the screen prior to flowering.

You're screen looks nice! Keep us posted!

Thanks. It's 4 sq.ft. cab grow under a 250W HPS. I will be building a new grow space under my basement stairs, more than doubling my flowering space to 3'x3'. I have a 400w/600w ballast, and hope 400W will give me adequate 3x3 coverage.

Have you grown under a 250W? How different will the experience be under a 400W (other than the need for better temperature control)? I have a cooled hood, so will be able to have the light pretty dang close to the plant tops.

Nitegazer,
I have, the 250w will not have the intensity that the 400 provides. The harvest will be a bit lighter and have a bit more fluffy buds. I have seen some folks do amazing things with a 250w! GL and We look forward to seeing the completion of your project.

Woodsman or anyone else with some experience in this growing method what size screen would you recommend for a small 1 or 2 plant grow ?

Thanks
