@guyson thanks man :D

@dishinit :D I stand looking at it quite a lot just going yeeeah I love this plant so so much! as to your question about fan leaves I am actually doing that every few days now, only taking off leaves that come away easily though or ones that are blocking slightly shorter budsites. I try to keep it nice and airy up there in the canopy now I think thats why some of the popcorn has grown up into the main cola- :D yeah!
I think you need more confidence in yourself man- Its easy to worry about doing anything to your baby in case you hurt her but seriously these plants are way more hardy than people give them credit for and they really love attention. I was loathe to start pulling off fan leaves when I started scrogging but I soon saw that within this method its actually better for the plant to totally remove ANY unnecessary budsites or leaves, why let the plant focus on something that has no purpose when it can be directing its efforts to making big juicy buds? I know it seems prudent to have more than one plant on the go, I understand why you worry- every day before I open the cabinet I get this slightly sick feeling that somehow I killed her or some kind of mite has got in there or something but trust in your plant, your instincts and your waterfarm! But think on this, you have 3 plants fighting for supremacy, I think with your scrog you cold happily fit 2 in there but you might well be giving yourself extra stress by having 3 and not allowing your other plants reach their full potential. perhaps you have a nice secluded window for a slower budding- I would love to do a hydro plant under natural light but sadly can't in my house. From the pic you showed me you are going to have an absolute beast in there! my plant looked like that not so long ago!
I like your idea of an almost stop motionesque set of pics- I try to take pics every few days but life, she gets in the way no? I did see a couple of quite cool vids on youtube of stop motion grows. its mad especially on soil plants because the leaves rise and fall so much more noticeably! The whole reason I started a thread on growing was, while being able to help other people and learn LOADS, its a really good tracking process of my grow- I can see whats happened clearly with instuctions that at least I can understand even if a am a rambler and confuse other people!

Hey there otter... been lurking here for about a month or so now, and I gotta tell ya - I'm really enjoying your journal of this scrog!! I can relate totally on the personal benefits of having a journal, and I often post small notes in my journals that really only benefit my own knowledge and memory-keepsakes of specific things going on in my grow. Sometime it's just the small, small differences or tests we do in each grow that teach us a lot and make it worth always trying new things! Cudos on such a successfull scrog - as I begin to screen my TD plant in the waterfarm, I'll def be looking back at this journal for tips, visuals and of course, inspiration. We're enjoying some nice KK bud right now from my previous grow and I tell ya - it levels me everytime we smoke it (can't have it during the work week, even in the evenings as it completely disabilitates me..not sure if that's a word..lol..). Cheers man - looking forward to a massive, super-potent harvest - can't wait!! :leaf:

Keep 'er green!

Once again, a wealth of information for me and others to digest. Both you, TDooda & Daytz have been very helpful and forth coming with specific "how to proceed" information.
Again thank all of you.
So with a small bit of embarrassment for my McGuivered Scrog at the last minute (as compared to some of the very clean installation's shown on this forum) here are my girls at day 3 of 12/12. I would like to believe I've given her more room to grow.

@ Dayzt, hey man welcome out from the shadows! :) Scrog is so much fun ent it? I love doing it, and its because of this site that I started waterfarm and scrog so its good to share what you've learnt, you're totally right, each grow teaches you so much and I would totally forget half of it if I didnt write it down! I had a look at your grow journal- nice plant the old TD, things look good at your end! Im glad to hear that the KK is such a good smoke, I chose it because I heard its more mellow (on your head) without losing strength and by the sounds of things it does the job properly! I subbed to your latest grow and am following with interest.

@dishinit I hope that all our onfo is along the same lines as well- conflicting info can be a bugger! It looks as though you are going to get a nice even spread on your screen and Im sure you will pick up your own style quickly- each scrog is different and I don't know why you are saying anything with embarrassment- your plants look beautiful and healthy and your screen has got enough flexibility to take the strain, I dunno but maybe I would pull the screen a little tighter- thats a tough one though- if I had allowed for more flexibility I wouldnt have a weird dome shape in the centre of my scrog! but if it wasnt rigid enough it wouldnt take the pressure from above. these are all things that you will find your own way of doing though. if you look carefully at the pictures of the frame for my scrog you will see how shonky it is! I laugh when I see it- we had to try to make loads of different bits of wood make sense- It kinda does- its seen us through 2 waterfam grows this scrog and I know its going to see at least one more plant before its sent the the great sea of green in the sky.

@Truthbknown back atcha buddy! except that now its not 420 any more but hey :)

After reading your post, I checked my scrog screen, and yes the TD is lifting her slightly in the middle. I am prepared for that with a tie down or two or three. She is already crowding out the other two girls in there and I think she will have no trouble filling the entire screen by herself, so another change up is due on my part. I do intend to neaten up my screen with perimeter PVC railing and that should take care of some of the uneven edges. I intend to let the front & back of my screen rise to mimic more of a parabolic shape to match my light dispersal. All of which I intend to do in my next & final change up. I have some options, some more radical than others, will keep you posted.
Most of what information I have garnered though various grow threads have complimented each other, especially those that are specific to this strain, or to the basics of scrog. I am getting that Scrog is an Art form that reflects personal grow styles & techniques. I am looking forward to developing my own artistic talents utilizing this venue and anticipate many learning lessons along the way.
Now lets see some more pics of your girl.

@ny :D :D :D :D thanks man! floranova, grow, micro and bloom but at the moment only the bloom and the micro. hth :D

@dishinit Its amazing how quickly one plant can take over a screen! I like the shape of your scrog, as you can see in my pics that around the edges my budsites are slightly smaller, I believe the parabolic shape would stop that very nicely, yeah the railing will really help support a lot of the weight when the buds start fattening up as well. :D More pics tomorrow- been sewing all day and have a hurty back now so im going to medicate myself to hell and kick back! also res change tomorrow as my new bloom arrived and its for soft water and I don't want to mix any residue from the hard water version with it. pics related to that coming too if I remember! Have a good un. in a bit...

WOW, that lady looks very nice. Can't wait to see her cross the finish line! I just bought two rain barrels today for only 20 bucks! Got one hooked up before a little storm for about an hour and it filled up the barrel....55 gallons of rainwater in an hour from one downspout!!! Amazing. Goin great with your grow. Nice work!

Hey, thanks for the support again guys!

jethead thanks man! you will not regret the choice to grow kk she is a pleasure i can tell you! will you be waterfarming or soil?

right, down to business:
I am keeping her at about 1200ppm but bloom is my dominant nute at the moment. about 30ml per 5 litres and sticking at about 10ml of the micro. I will be doing a res change on monday anyway as my bloody nute wand is acting up and i cant take a precise measurement at the moment - playing the best of 5 game on the results! I dont really have time to look it up atm but i heard you can clean em up with detergent or something anyone know anything about that? id really apreciate some info.

I had her down to harvest at around the 19th of may but its hard to judge at this point. lookin at her I'd say shes more like 14 days off, id rather take her the full time though- Im aiming for higher cbd than thc. Half the colas cant support themselves anymore! all listing lazily to the right at the moment! im trying to make them support each other but I reckon Im going to have to get out some string and thumbtacks and get myself mightily confused about it all! someone suggested that I get a second screen and place it just below the top of each cola but the screen i have has too small holes for the buds!
I got my trych viewer back today and there are some slightly wonky macro shots through the lens of the crystals and redbeard.
