yep its an Apollo 3'x2' and I wouldn't put more than 2 plants in it, during bloom stage. Next run, only because I want to run 2 strains, I'm going to remove the scrog and try 2 Hempy buckets, 2.5 gallons each with all perlite. Im removing the scrog so that I can move the plants around to flush, and drain etc. The biggest downfall with scrog for me is there's no moving the plant until you cut it.

That's what I ran into.. Always want to try different pruning and stuff- scrogs make it pretty hard.. Trying an LED DWC next.

I was thinking of topping the 5th node and then super cropping the 4 way plant so it can grow into my Scrog.

Would it better to LST the 4 branches down or to super crop them?

it really depends on your length and width (sqft) of the area. I would suggest to supercrop anything 5 gallon or over, and LST anything under 5 gallons. Because plants in small pots tend to be much shorter. I think topping at the 4th sounds like a good idea.

Fledgling grower here getting ready for my first RDWC system with a SCROG. I have spent the last 3 days mowing through this feed lol. Sooo many thanks to those who have posted, shared opinions and offered advice, Im learning slowly but surely!. I realize that this question may just require some experience with different grows but is there a "most efficient" size for a SCROG? for example, using a 1000w HPS, would an ideal net for a single plant under that light be a 4x4, 5x5? or is it really dependent upon the reflector and the footprint of the light? if this has been answered already, be gentle, there are a lot of pages to process!

To my mind, the screen size also has a lot to do with the strain and manageability.
A really big screen will be hard to tend to, a really small screen won't accommodate a stretchy sativa.
You can have more than one screen under a light with a bit footprint, the only thing to watch in terms of your lights is that the illuminate the whole screen ;)
just my 2c, hth with your decisionmaking! :bigjoint:

Hi there Calliandra~
I actually am in coco coir....I have it topdressed with KnatNix...
I have had issues with crawlers in coco (springtails mainly, but they dont hurt anything)
I still have springtails tho, but not a knat in sight! lol....thing is, i never had knats. it was just something i tried on a tip from the hydro shop, but it didnt work. I have noticed that there are less springtails...it probably makes it hard for them to reproduce....
Anyway...thanks for the kind words!
this is by far my best scrog to date!
how is your setup coming along?

ohlmao! I actually asked because my fungus gnats are starting to get on my nerves and I'm considering options to get rid of them for good :-D Seems it may be helping at least reduce your springtail population, fingers crossed for you!
As for myself, I'm messing around with autos at the mo, will only be able to start a scrog after I move house in december :( So it's great to be able to peek into spaces like yours in the meantime!
Cheers!:weed:

i see~ i have some autos laying around from when i first started in with growing...i thought autos were gods gift to growers! (and they are cool) i also think its funny that everyone says autos are weak as far as potency goes....shit, i have grown some bomb ass autos! i realize ruderalis is less potent....but it just depends on how green them thumbs are! ;)
anyway...
If your having issues with fungas knats, i absolutely reccomend you to use the Knat Nix. it works wonders. i had them in the past in this same space, but not since i started dressing with this stuff.
oh, one more thing abouut autos...
i live in washington state...summers are prettty weak, and to be able to squeeze 2-3 full grows outdoors in the grow season is very helpful, so thats what i like about them!
What genetics are you playing with?

Yeah I'm still on the fence about autos, not sure they're my thing, despite seeing all the advantages you also mentioned ;) I've got FastBuds Pineapple Express starting right now, A Berry Bomb about to get chopped, and a Mephisto Sour Stomper I just neeeeed to try out, all in a not quite tuned in environment ;)

i see ppl use multiple screens as well, but i never really understood it...i think you would do great, just as is, with your one screen. but idk, like isaid, i nver understood why ppl use two! looks good either way man! nice job on going big! grow big or go home! lol
