Someguys Perpetual Parabolic SCROG Cabinet grow (trying to actually keep a journal)

[SomeGuy]

looking really nice man

Thanks!! I am excited about this round.

beautiful! i took your irrigation as inspiration and setup a drip of my own for my soil. i'm leaving for holiday this week and need a "gardener" for a couple days.
amazing how well it works. drippers have been tending for me for the past couple days, under supervision. i have no doubts about my rig automating itself for a couple days!

thanks for the inspiration, and as always your grow is stunning! keep it going my good friend!

Glad it helped you man! I am all about others learning a bit. Pretty much the only reason I post on this site at all. Take care! Your stuff is looking good too!

Update. Things came up so i siezed the time I had and took the flouro cab down. Results:

1.5gl container Blue Mystic =54g wet
64oz container Blue Mystic =42g wet
Total: 96g wet

1.5gl container Unknown =114gwet
2-64oz container Unknown =114g wet
Total: 228g wet

Grand Total of: 324g wet ...LOL! so 2.5-3oz.. Same every time. However, I have noticed nutrients make the most difference in the flouro cab as far as their influence being noticeable. I have some new stuff to play with so maybe it can help. OH... Here are the pictures:

Unknown Bagseed

Blue Mystic

Drying rack: Popcorn on bottom. Unknown in middle. barely loaded top rack is blue mystic.

Thats some kool shit brother. You are the "mad scientist" of micro weed grows!

Thanks! lol ... MWahahahahahahahah! My Evil creation will live! Mwahhahahahhah! LOL

Imagine if I just had a little more square footage.

Back and everything looks great. Maybe a little bit of tip burn but nothing I cant turn around. Looking forward to going vertical in the next round with just the god bud. Will try to get some pics soon.

cool man.
so your droppin your light and growin walls?

 

[Shackleford.R]

I'm scrogging next grow. With my setup, it is probably the most efficient method.

Yea, I am gonna point the light straight down and put it on the door side and screen the whole rest of the cab. I will keep the bottom curve but I will also just grow up the whole wall next time. I figure why not...

Thanks Gypsy!! Good to hear from you... I hope to get some picture updates up tonight.

 

[SomeGuy]

Alright. Update time. Took quite a few pics so enjoy. I am pretty stoked at this point. I have 4 weeks left on these. End of week 5 right now.

I will be running the whole line from A.N. next time. iquana juice, Bud Blood, Big Bud, Over-drive and final phase. Along with other goodies.

Looking nice somguy I just have a few questions for you
Are you pHing the mix before feeding the flowering plants?
They are looking a little magnesium deficient so I would suggest upping the dosage if you have a cal-mag additive

Yea, I ph it.. But they were alone for two weeks so the rez probably drifted a bit. I am flushing with just water then I will give them a nice tea that should fix em up really good. I could have probably made the mix a little less hot. I have been using sensizyme and it really breaks the ferts down... so much so I should have given a little less fert in the rez while gone.

I am just stoked they look this good with no attention for almost 17 days.

Oh yeah dude they look great, I wish I could leave my setup for that long

I am still dialing it in. But at least I know I have that much freedom. The god bud is in the center of the curve. It is bomb already, really cant wait for that one.

Working on some other junk too, should be fun for the next several months.

 

[cruzer101]

17 days, Dam!
They would all be dead in my setup. Gotta love that drip irrigation for long trips.

Lookin good man, I see that rear screen didnt do much for ya this round though.
So for your wall grow. Are you going to start them all the same height and grow into the screen or are you going to start some higher than others?

The auto-feed is so great that I am kicking myself in the arse for not automating earlier... LIve and learn.

I think I will just work them up the wall about 3/4 of the way. My setup doesnt allow for too much plant-height difference. I plan on vegging into the whole thing for a month with those three god bud clones vegging away.

I am going to build a large storage bin scrog with the same lights as the flouro scrog. I think I could become very successful with those bins. Plus they are WAY easy to move around in a stealth sort of way.

 

[SomeGuy]

Again with an update. They seem to be recovering from the over-nute from while I was away. I get some extra goodies soon. These will be getting overdrive, gravity and eventually final phase to finish up this grow. My base nutrient will be changing to iguana juice. Pics look good though. Only additive so far has been bud blood.

.... BTW... site is taking forever to load pics... so hopefully these six (can only load 3 at a time!) made it and I will load all the rest a little later tonight.

You da man! Those are some very healthy looking plants! You have me all but convinced to bite the bullet and switch to Hydro nutes and ditch the soil... I know you have plans to alter your setup in the future.. I was thinking for my next run of stripping the hood from my 1000w-HPS and building a similar scrog setup as yours except with four sides.

Since I am not using a cabinet I plan on placing the entire setup on a mechanics creeper so that it can be easily moved and rotated for maintenance. The idea I have in my head is almost like a cone with a tight radius at the bottom and expanding as it grows in height. This in theory would allow me to train the plants around a vertical hanging bulb utilizing all of my lumens rather than relying on a reflector.

I would appreciate your input on this idea.

I have been a fan of your journal and setup for quite sometime now. You have really automated your grow, and I am highly impressed!

I think your cone idea is great. Just make sure you have the right distance from lamp to screen. Cooling the lamp in a tube would help with any problems.

Thanks for the props!
