Day 84 - building a screen.
After a trip to the hardware store, it's time to SCROG (Screen of green) this bushy lady.
Screen is 50cm deep x 70cm wide. Cut my wood to length, marked off my holes (7cm spacing) and threaded the string through -
Carefully fitted the plant under the screen and spread out as many tops as I could -
There are 70 potential squares to fill with buds, going to try and fill as many as possible for maximum bud sites.
Moved the light up for a photo -
She's now under the 400w HPS and on 12/12. Hoping she will at least double in size whilst flowering.

Thanks. Biobizz should pay me commission!
I believe round pots are better for the roots but not too sure on that. 6.5ltr is fine for an auto but you will need space between them to allow the plant to spread out a bit, especially if it's an auto ak.
With regards to posting photo's here you should be fine I always use someones WIFI though just in case!
What do you mean by 'do a plan for the AK same as this?'

thankjs for quick reply reiss i was thinking off getting a tray with the square pots fits exactly under my stairs thanks for advice i wondered if you could do a guide for the auto like this one The kit:
Soil (to start off) - BioBizz organic light mix.
After a few weeks repotted into BioBizz all mix.
Nutrients - All Biobizz organic. Veg, Bloom, top max, molasses.
Schedule - first few weeks - nothing, plenty of nutes in the soil.
Veg to flowering - BioBizz veg starting with about 2ml / watering building up to 5ml / watering.
Flowering - Biobizz Veg (2ml) + Bloom (5ml) + topmax (5ml) / watering + molasses (2 teaspoons / week)
Watering - when she's dry (going by pot weight) 2ltr brita triple filtered water usually every 3-4 days. I always let my water sit for 24hrs before using it.
Pot size - 8 litre (2.11 US gallons)
Light (veg stage) - 200W CFL Envirolite.18/6 through-out. Like the one pictured below -
She will be flowering under a 400W HPS with cooltube.
Temps - around 26C (78-80F)
Humidity - unknown.
Air - 2 x 80mm PC fans for intake. 1 x 12" desk fan for circulation. 400w HPS has its own inline extraction fan through cooltube.
Space - 2.5ft deep x 3.5ft wide x 5ft high
just for the feeding realy thanks again and regrds from up north

Welcome to RIU.
I'm hoping she'll grow about 1ft above the screen and give me a yield of 5oz +
As she grew 16cm in 2 weeks, that's half way to my target with about 7-8 weeks more to go though growth will continue to slow down.

Ok, so this is turning out to be a thirsty girl.
She now gets 2 litres of filtered water every 2 days. She dries out almost completely inbetween.
Temps are a comfortable 76-78F / 24-26C
The upper set of fan leaves were looking a little pale, so I upped the nutes. She now gets:
1 teaspoon Biobizz Veg + 1 t/sp Biobizz Topmax + 2 t/sp Biobizz bloom every watering. 1 teaspoon is about 5ml. She also gets 2 t/sp of Organic blackstrap molasses once a week.
From top to bottom, she's looking happy & healthy so far.

20 Days Flowering
The buds have grown another 2-3cm in 1 week. She's slowing down vertically but starting to fill out. Trichs are also oozing out.
Getting concerned about the pale leaves. Maybe nitrogen or magnesium deficiency but as she's getting good organic food, I've bought a better PH test kit to make sure I haven't got a nute lockout due to the PH being off.
1 problem using a screen
Want to give her a good flush with PH adjusted water but there is no way to move the plant into a sink or bath due to the buds growing through the screen.
She'll need about 16 litres of water to flush the 8ltr pot, may have to get a small pipe and siphon off the excess as it runs out of the bottom. Any suggestions?
*edit - fitted a big tray under the pot to catch run off, going to use a turkey baster to suck off the excess water.
If anyone is interested, the camera used to take the photos is a Canon Powershot S3.
