AI WW Scrog

[Megalith]

Alright. This is my first attempt at a scrog so all input will be considered. All advice is welcomed. I made my screen from home depot wire. I basically made it in the shape of a box since i have a tube light. When the light is 10" above the wire it is equally distanced from the sides. I saw flat scrogs but decided I didnt have the space so I went up the sides. I admit after seeing it, the adjacent sides wont get much light so I may take down that wire and just have a U-shape instead. We'll see. I originally had it set around 6'' but I needed or rather wanted more room underneath and have it raised to 12". I'll use the same nutes as always. Dyna pro foliage 936 to veg and then their bloom formula. I use a deep water system except I can have it flood completely or just run under the roots. I do both since I have a stone. Mostly flood since its cheaper to have it turn off. In the 2nd week of veg now.

Looks good , I like the cool tube! I'm subbed~

Fill then flower!

Remove the wings of the hood. Your light say produces 65K and you have all your surface area at the appropriate distance to allow full intensity, your wings will not direct more than 65 in the focus. It will however trap light from reaching the sides of your cage.

Tuned in.

Glad to see ya working the screen! Good luck my friend.

I started to pull them under. There are 3 Widow and ! Aurora. The two on the right are the tops of each mother. The Aurora is way behind them them. Come on hon, tighten up. I must admit I like the Auroa better. I think for the next grow I will need a strain to match the flower time of the Auroa. Any ideas? I'm thinking a Purp. Anyway here's the update. Oh, bumped PPM up to 700 and the ph is stable. I also fimmed them all.Thanks for signing on. I am a fan of both of your work.

Woodsmantoker is the man! I learned about 85% of what I know about scrogging from reading his forums!

Thanks fellas, I enjoy sharing what I know with you as much if not more than you do. Subcool's gear is fast (TGA seeds). Good strong plants typically, with a great deal of information on pheno availability within the strain choices. Cup winners, and most all med applicable in my opinion. See VORTEX for a strain to trump yet compare with Aurora's flowering times. You can find the seeds at the Attitude Seed Bank's site and it can be accessed within RIU.

I agree. I've been paying attention. lol

Thanks for the info. I'll look into it.

Thanks man. welcome aboard. Nice terrier.

Here is a picture of the exhaust system I built. I took two 6" fans and connected them both to a 4" PVC Y fitting. I put a 90 degree fittining and ran it into the ceiling(attic) where it runs through a tube and out through the vent. I put the Two 4 '' fans on the other end. I used some aluminum 6'' to 4'' reducers connect them to the PVC fitting. I got hem at homo depot. I bought 4 and put them on both ends of 6" fan. Then I ran 4'' flex tube to my light. I also put a 50cfm fan in the ceiling. Just in case I needed to move more air

why not run open bulb or tube with no reflector and then the light will hit all sides. looks good though man, Im subbed, Im getting ready to start a WW Sog.

 

[Megalith]

Here's a quick update PPM was too high. Ph dropped hard. Down to 630PPM. I also changed the bulb to HPS. For no particular reason other than to give my MH a break. During flowering I will run a 3:1 or 2:1 MH/HPS ratio. That's 3 days MH then 1 day HPS. I believe it make the buds more dense.

Doesn't really matter at this point. It hasn't grown up high enough that it makes a huge difference. But it is off. I have a reducer 6/4 on the end of the light that connects to another flex pipe 4'' . That runs down to the ground and the cool air from the room is sucked in through the tube. Theres a filter on it to stop all the dust and crap.

Nice setup, That screen is a good idea that ive now borrowed.thanks.

Cool setup dude! Ive always wanted to SCROG

No problem. I should retsate 1 thing. The shield does matter. However, in the early stages they're directly under the light. So I dont have to worry about the deep sides since branches havent reached that far. It's 44 '' long by 26( the grow area). Around the 3rd week I pull the shield. Now this is my 1st scrog. But I dont plan to change anything I do except train them to grow horizontally.
I saw that they sold a grow system that was circular. I dont know if I'm allowed to post the link so if you want it just mail me. Anyway, I started learning about scrogging here by reading what I could. I thought in theory, with this tube light. Since it lights the sides so well, there's no reason it cant grow both horizontal and perpendicular. It will grow over too if light gets to it and it's fed. As long as its behind the screen the buds on the walls should grow to the light as well. So a box made sense, just lower the light into it. Maybe I'll build the circular one anyway.

Thanks man. Just build 1 and try. Fairly simple to make. Let's hope it does what claims too. I read 1 guy got 2.6 ounces a square foot. I built that@ around 13. You can see the math. That's awesome especially when you have fewer plants. After seeing how this has gone so far. I think 6 would be a better number of plants instead of 4. I could maybe even do 8 if I wanted. But I thing 6. Just to cut down the veg time a bit.

Here's a picture of one of my last grows. I had 5 Like this 1 but not as big, almost though.The 2nd pic was another 1. 3rd pic. The seconary's were dense too. The thing had like 16 buds on it. They got so big that they couldnt get any air around the stem and two of the buds got moldy. I hacked it all up to dry but it didnt matter. So I need to grow the same just horzontal so my mutants can get more air.

 

[Megalith]

Put MH back in. Everthings is the same. Have noticeable growth on secondaries since fim.
