OK, I am running 10 PK and 2 MBS ( means mystery bag seed). So I just moved the girls from veg to flower. They are taller than I wanted them so I will be doing some major supercropping tomorrow and adding the scrog screen. I am transplanting to 5 gal smart pots. I am a little concerned about their heigth. I ran into horizontal space issues in my veg room, so I had to let them stretch. I don't want them getting tall enought to get into the lights. Should be interesting tomorrow. I am planning on letting them go 24/0 under the hps for a couple days then switching to 12/12. I had some bug issues in veg and treated with azatro/azamax which seemed to have eliminated the little bastards, but I will be taking multiple preventative measures to try to stop them from comming back.

Ok enough with the novel, here are some pics. Which if you followed my first grow you know I post plenty of them


Here is when they were transfered to coco. the red cups are the bag seed, only two made the final cut





The growth






Some Super cropping



Replaced the grate



The room over-crowded

OK, I know I just started this thread, but I may need to change the title. lol I just went down and looked again and I think it would be to much stress on the plants to supercrop them enough to put a screen over them. Also with the addition of two new strains.. they aren't the same heigth so..hmm I am thinking of scratching the screen this round or just running it over one tray. I kind of like the idea of being able to move them around, turn them and pick them up, which with the scrog screen I can not do.This is where I get some opinions from you guys.:-P
So lets hear your opinion
A) skip the screen this round ( it would be cool to compare my previous scrog grow)
B) scrog one table
or
C) pinch, bend, and do what ever it takes to get a screen up- scrog the whole grow again

My vote goes to C. I'm stuck on scrog's and I guess I just like seeing them since I cant really do one in my space until I figure out a good hydro system so option C :blsmoke:

Yeah, I have to decide in the next couple of days, but the scrog is a lot of work and makes it hard to clean up the middles branches. I still haven't decided yet though :)


So, I just finished transplanting to 5 gal smart pots. My fucking back is so jacked after the last few days and today didn't help. A quick history on why I use medicinal marijuana. I had a parachute accident in 97 as an Army Paratrooper. I fractured two vertibrea and herniated 3 discs. I have since been diagnosed with deginerative disc desease( which is just excelerated arthritus). I have taken percocet, vicoden, muscle relaxers, had epideral injections, traction therapy etc. in the past for the pain management. Now I just smoke weed..lol I do take a vicoden here and there sometimes.Anyway, that is my story.

Last grow I used 7 gal and 100% coco coir, but this time I droppped down to 5 gals and used 5:1 coco/perlite. The last grow took 3-4 days to dry out, so I always had a wet medium which was inviting to bugs. This time I'm hoping they are thirsty every day.

So I was sitting here earlier thinking, wtf, so I got my ass up and put on a net. I am trying the nylon route this time. The ladies went through a lot today with the transplant and installing the screen. I was going to flip the switch tomorrow, but have decided to let the girls recover for a few days.



This one snapped instead of bending. I wrapped with peice of paper towel and tape. I will remove this in 4 or 5 days and show how it healed.


A little weaving. I didn't do much tonight due to the stress they already went through today.



These are some buds hanging from round 1

Hey buddy. :-PI am not sure how you post was made before mine last night and showed up behind me..
Anyway, I was going to do the two methods, but decide to just scrog the whloe thing. I am trying out the nylon net this time. It took me as long to untangle the fuckin thing as it did to install it. lol I think I like the bigger sqaures. I can reach throught the net and it works great for weaving.

You know it man. If I don't cover something, just post it or pm me, which ever you want. I can say this, the first time I didn't weave and my screen holes were to small to get in and work after they came through. This one I am going to do some weaving until the buds show up. I let the them stretch too much before the buds started and it was too hard to get under the buds and over the screen to trim the middle. Hopefuly this time I eliminate that problem by keeping them down until flowers arrive in addition to the bigger sqaures in my net. I will be doing my first lollipoping session either later tonight or tomorrow.

awesome ya cuz the weaving is wat i believe will maximize ur yield by filling out ur canopy with dense colas 8)
last time the screen was more for support but training them outwards to the edge of the screen will give u more budsites and more nug. so we will have to compare yield as well from the previous grow. still no c02?
