She'l Smoke - If possible, switch light hoods. Use something with a foot print similar to the size of your screen. Light intensity meters will help here.

Thanks for the post, good to see contributions to the thread again.

Thanks for the reply woodsman, its a 600whps with cool tube got the little cooltube reflector on it but thats it. The frame is 2.5ft by 3.5ft. If you have any suggestions for better light distribution let me know, thaught for the size of the screen that would be sweet, will know better when the buds start forming i supose. Great thread and thanks again!

RuchaYolanda: Thanks for the post, looks like you will have bud! Take some time if you have it, to read back through some of the thread. In the recent past we discussed screen shapes, sizes, designs etc. The topics of Vertical, U Scrog, V, and Stadium, were included. This will likely be of help to you. There are links to videos of very similar screens that you may care to compare with. Enjoy! Keep up.

Meaning the mother is in Soil?

Yes sir. I'm thinking it would be a pain in the ass to add a hydro set up. Actually, I suppose I can just put the mom in 1 of the 4 and then use 3 arms to fill the others, that'll work..I want to try it to see how it grows, if it could be a viable way to beat the #'s and be worth it but if it were to be done full scale, it would take a good while to get rolling. The mom is going to take a while to be of worthy size before even getting to the beginning of training her and then flowering her.

Light Hood Link: http://www.discount-hydro.com/products/C.A.P.-XXXtreme-6-Reflector.html
Unfortunately, manufacturers are not including the foot print in the product description. What can be purchased fairly cheaply is a Light Intensity Meter or LIM. LINK:http://www.discount-hydro.com/products/Sunleaves-Digital-Light-Meter.html
By measuring the loss in intensity of light at various distances, you can determine where your hood lacks in its ability to reflect produced light. You can then measure what the "foot print" of your hood is and at what distance it can be from the screen while still providing equal lighting to all parts of the canopy. GL

"Great thread and thanks again!" My Pleasure, thank you!

I was just thinking about this the other day but how is that an extension of aluminum create just as powerful of light as the bulb itself? I dont understand how metal can reflect the same power as the source its coming from other then the fact that the naked eye can see it doing so.

Not really clear on what your asking ? yes, reflected light will be of less "intensity" in direct comparison to that which is being produced from the light source. ie. 95,000 lumen may be produced, but less than that will be reflected.

I've read so many posts on this thread tonight that I think my ass has become fused to my computer chair. I remember one post, and I can't remember which page it was on, but someone had asked about weaving the branches that are touching the screen, through the actual screen such as over the wire, under the next wire, over the next one, etc. Hopefully you guys understand what I'm trying to explain, like I said, I've been here for quite a while lol. Anyways, I THINK the response to that post was not to do it that way. If you're not supposed to weave the branches through, how exactly do you train them then? Just keep pulling the branches back under the screen so that they bend and move towards a different hole, in which case you push it back under again, etc?

Lastly, Woodsman, if I ever had a father figure to look up to regarding growing, you would probably be it, even though I don't know you lol. You've provided so much knowledge and wisdom to so many different people, I'm sure most of them can relate to my words. One of these days I'll have to thank you by posting pics of a beautiful SCROG when I get mine up and going in a few more months.

jamiesname; How very thought full and kind of you. You are right on the money my friend, pulling and placing is far superior to weaving. Simply put, without regard for the logistics, imagine cleaning your screen in the end....

The time you have spent researching within the thread is a credit to your intelligence. Your time will be reflected~!

We look forward to your presentation jamiesname.

Hey fellow scroggers. Thought id throw my hat in. 150w hps, 130w's of cfls, and a uv light in a stealth scrog grow. These two Northern Light X Skunks are on day 75 and day 31 of 12/12. First grow..
To jamiesname.. The 7th pic is an under shot so you can see how they are trained.

I have that same thermometer and have not been able to be sure of its accuracy.... since it cannot be calibrated, is it that precise?

It is.. I have two thermometers in there. One for canopy and one for intake temps. The canopy one is a digital thermomter and to test the cheaper one i put them in the same place and the temps were the same. It is a cheap looking bastard huh? RH is accurate on it too somehow.

Just thought I would drop an update since I hadn't in a while. Screen was set in place 2 days ago.

And a couple of seeds I cracked from a breeder friend, these are the two of the 3 that made it, they won't be screened this round, don't want to go thru the trouble in case they are male or if they are not keepers, just a test run to see if they earn a permanent spot on the team.
