The Scrog Club

It looks like you got a great deal on that one!

Hopefully I won't need one since the solution stayed clean on my past 2 ebb&flo grows. This was what I found currently for sale...

Same brand, same number but look at the price!

F.A.O. ben franklin:

planted 5 seeds jan first. Bugs in soil, transplanted with barely more than a tap root, killing killing 2. Ordered more seed. Planted 3 on jan 10th. Waterlogged soil slowed growth of original 3. Flipped to 12/12 1st march. Today, my canopy is fucking ridiculous. probably be ok, but I could have flipped a week earlier I recon. Allowing for a week maybe 2 slow down cos of early issues, i'd say a month - 6 weeks under hps veg would have been fine. 6 plants under a 1x1 screen mind! A month would probably have been fine. Oh, I topped everything at about node 7, but they were short spacings due to using as much light as I dared.
Then add flower time..... maybe not much over your 90 days then?

What bucket setup are you using, or did you diy it? There are some starting to show up on Uk ebay now with 'utopia' branding. They look ok, but I don't really know what I should be looking for. I don't know how much cheaper it would work out to build rather than buy a 4 bucket set?

Have you considered a Brummie Bubbler? I run two 90l bubblers in a 1.2 x 1.2m tent and they fit perfectly. I run 2 plants but they can easily be adapted to run more plants if needed.

I've heard of them, think I've seen them on ebay but never actually looked into it any further. Is it a brand or just the design that owes it's name to Brum? It's DWC is it?

you should be able to pull close to a lb (12-14 oz I would imagine) out of a 2x4 scrog (assuming you're running a 400w). My second grow EVER, I scrogged, and had a 250w over a 1.5x2.5 screen...got 8 oz. And those were nute burned and not even vegged properly into the screen. 2x4 is perfect for a scrog!

I believe the name came from a company that made this type of dwc/bubbler, and apparently most of them were being sent to Birmingham which is where they got their nickname from. That may be another stoner's myth like Cheese and G13, who knows? lol

I might do a thread about it rather than hijack this scrogging thread.

What's your version of the cheese myth? I sat at a massive oak table on the Exodus farm and rolld joints from the pile of branches that Guy had thrown out for general consumption. What a host. What an after-party. It ain't hijack if people care to read it! Besides, I'm scrogging some 'Cheese'. Can't wait to see how much it's NOTHING LIKE THE REAL THING!

I'm not sure about Cheese but I did used to work in a top secret government lab and I stole G13 and G14, G13 was rubbish so I gave it away to a mate and kept G14 for myself. I could tell you where this lab is but then I'd have to kill you, and please don't tell anyone as I could lose my job if this gets out!!

Check out my Brummie Bubbler: https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/819090-brummie-bubbler.html#post10357856

Good man. I've heard reports that g13 is meant to be something special. Your's must be a cracker!

I'm off to look at your bubbler...

Nice tutorial. Think I've got an idea to the name, probably refers to the simple nature of the device.

I love my tent. If it wasn't so crowded i'd camp in the bastard.

I thought I'd join this thread as I too am doing a Scrog. This is my first full grow from clone to flower. My last "grow" was given to me in flower already. Here she is when I first built the net and put her under it.
I was told she is a girl scout cookie clone from Berkeley. Hope some prime smoke. I am about to flip her to flower since the clone I took from her have roots and she is almost filling my net now.

Nice sturdy looking screen! I recon you could really pack em in under that and it wouldn't lift or shift at all.

The frame is made of 3/4" 40 schedule pvc and the net is made of 3/16 cord. Was quite the task to build and ended up needing someone to help me string it.

Thanks!

The first rule of Grow Club, is you do not talk about Grow Club. Now you're gonna have to kill and dispose of them.... seriously though, looks good

Believe it or not, mine turned out to be a male...I should be upset...but then again I am playing poker using bagseed. Anyways, going with 2 in the system this time, I've added another bucket. I have a cloner too, so I'm gonna try and keep some clones for a mother plant this go round.

Too bad it was a nice healthy male Hob. I had that happen with a girlfriend once... no balls but she acted like she had 'em. You had a great looking scrog going too. In a 2x4 area 3 buckets should work. That would increase the odds a bit. I have stuffed as many as 7 in my 2x4 tent when growing in soil but in a hydro scrog that would be a real mess. Keep us posted. I have ordered a cap controller and a 6 pot 2 gallon expansion kit and plan to setup with 3 pots.

They look delicious Growan! My grow was too small to camp in but I would close the door to the room, open the tent flap and enjoy the wonderful fragrances for long periods. How many days in flower are they?

Come on! Don't tease us! Show us what the net looks like now.

This is the only photo I have on my phone of the net but it shows quite a bit.

The sides are 5'x5'. As I said the cord is 3/16". First time I strung it I did not have the pvc glued and it fell apart from the tension I put on it. Used pvc glue and the next day I strung it with help. The cord is under tension so the plant does not push it up at all.
