Prepare to cringe ladies..

So as I stated I planned to overgrow 100% of my 8x5 net before flipping

In the process of doing that some areas got so dense all I could do is let it grow tall while I continued filling the net.
There is about a foot squareon each side I couldn't fill.
I think this pic is 11 daysold.

So as promised, I took these bad boys in and trimmed it in about 1 min.

I already knew I would have to level the canopy because With the light movers I wouldn't have the head room to flower these plus I want the canopy level.
Here we are after haircut ready to flip.

I will throw another trellis for support and will report back when stretch is over.

Again this had to be done because in order to fill this whole screen prior to flip some areas were full and as a result got too tall.


I still predict a good haul.

Let the beatings begin...
Clippers!? I'm in shock!

Looking awsome in there man

Thats something the rev used to say was youll get differnt expression using a mh color rather then a hps spectrum.

I know i swithed to a blue spectrum bulb for a while and it did great but now im on the gavita so im a little limited on bulbs.

But now im interested in the leds or double ended cmh lights


Cant wait to see whats coming !

I know man I would love to add a couple 315s but with the movers its not practical. I have to force myself to ignore led for a few years more.

When its dirt cheap and less confusing
Im in

The dude finishes his last two weeks with metal halide and swears by it

From what i remember about the rev he said hps brings more citrus smells and mh will bring out the berries better if that mames sense

Either way your scrog is looking HEAVY :)
Im reading his book now hopefully he covers that in an upcoming chapter

I see very few people scrogging "properly", mostly it is just plants growing through nets.

I actually took a few pics while weaving my plants I will post a bit later.

Right now I just need weed to relax my trunk from all the bending over.

It is a totally valid way of growing, BUT, the net is mainly acting as support and maybe spreading out tips so you can get light into the bush.
You can grow some fine weed like you posted above.....

When you want to scrog smaller plants, I suggest placing and weaving the plants one by one, I thought I'd take shortcuts this time as it was only 6 plants, but regretted it.
It has been taking me about a week now to get all the branches weaved.

Now, what you often see, is people aiming to have a tip in each hole...

I couldn't be arsed about the holes until I get at least 2 weeks into flower.

The way I have been taught to scrog a shitty plant to have lots of flowers (other than tipping it and getting lots of side branches) is to weave the branches along the ropes... i.e. not bobbing up and down through the holes but rather spiraling with the rope like you would hang a non-determinate tomato. This forces a shitload of flowers all at the same height give or take an inch or so.

I will upload the pics to my PC just now.

These girls went through hell in my fight against the mites that came on the cuttings.You can still see oil on the leaves from the garlic oil concoction sprayed them with. The one plant also nearly died from drying when I missed watering her. Her revenge was a bush of tiny branches. They also got a bit taller than I'd have liked.
But not tall enough to supercrop.

Starting with each thick branch, I collect all its appendages and try to get it as close to upright as the net allows.
If they are very long, you give them a hard kink or bend at the height of the net so it is easy to weave in at that height in an L shape.

This is A LOT easier when you work from seed as you have symmetrical plants. Clones can be a testy experience. By the time you get to the other side of the net, the tips on the first would have moved again. You end up going around in circles the first few days with competing branches. Nipping out any leaf you cant hide below the net, you want as many growth tips getting light as possible.

I will post more pics later.

The plants look rough, but this is minutes after bending. It will be a bush again by tomorrow night.

Nice, yeah they always perk up quick.

So the garlic spray actually works?
How late in flower can you use it?

My top net is support,
My scrog frame is underneath.

I tucked, weaved and spiraled for about 10 weeks.
I see, I should have read better.

That is the best way, it is a living growing weaving. You intimately get to know each and every crevice in your plant.

I wouldn't spray in flower, I guess it would be fine to spray one last shot before flipping, but I wouldn't spray anything on my weed if it had flowers.

The next batch of clones are clean at least, I dipped them whole before rooting. Fuckers are just taking ages to root in rockwool this time of year.

Ironically the few branches I stuck in the soil outdoors seem to be ticking over swimmingly out in the fucking cold..

I combined my organic pesticide with eco-bb fungus in the same spray bottle. Appart from my wife complaining the garlic smell makes her hungry, it seems to work well, there are a few other ingredients apart from the garlic.
