White widow grow 5 weeks flowering, topped, Scrog AND LST

[billybob88]

why dont u scrog from the beginning? like veg the plants into the screen until its 60% full then flip flowering, continue training til week 2 then let all the tops go. it spreads out the plant horizontally and like u said each top has its own space. i have some branches that grew 2+ feet horizontally along the screen. i did a rough count of how many tops are in my screen. over 200+

Where would the branches go? Theres hardly any space now with just the buds poking out the top. My goal was that all the branches are jsut long enough to be where they are right now, theres lots of smaller bud sights from the branches just below the top buds but allready those get very little light because the main colas are taking it all up.
What you said would work if i let the two main colas grow into the screen and take up all the space. It would work but i think theres hardly any way to get more colas in that space where all get enough light than there are now.

What light and results did you get?

im in the process. I am using 2 600's and a 250mh. 8 DP strawberry cough and 4 DP blueberries in a 9x4 screen. i vegged for 7 weeks then flipped and continuted to train to week 2 of flowering. i trimmed everything underneath the screen. the screen is 100 percent full. Sunday will be week 4. I am estimating over 3 lbs. https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/41321-i-call-billybob-scrog.html

pretty sick man, ill check up on your grow every now and then

 

[billybob88]

yeah its coming along. 4-5 more weeks.

 

[valuablevariable]

Haha, we should compare grams per square foot ratio in the end.

 

[billybob88]

def and watt/gram ratio. im hoping for 1.2-1.3

 

[mal_crane]

I too am interested in how your grows compare. Are you still only using two plants like you did on your last grow valuable? And if so, how many plants are you using in your setup billybob? I think I read your journal and saw approx. eight correct? Can't wait to see how the two grows compare using slightly different methods!

LUV THE BUD GOT ONE MYSELF IT'S IN IT'S ON IT'S LAST TWO WEEKS

 

[valuablevariable]

Somewhat of a sudden early harvest, maybe a week more was planned. about 54gs dry




These little buds are small but they look the best:

 

[vespa17]

nice looking buds! I want some!

 

[Cearid]

Nice job man. Hope mine turn out that good.

Hey man I just looked over your first grow...everything that you did looks amazing...you really had some incredibly creative ideas...I especially enjoyed the cereal box for drying!...When I move out of my small ass dorm after this semester I'm gonna try to do something just like you did but maybe on a little bit larger scale...I can't believe you got over one and a half ounces with such a small set up thats awesome...Remember that asshole Richard who called u a pedophile hahaaa? I bet he's pretty pissed off right now...Also, how has your cloning box worked out for you? Did you wind up growing any of the clones or just starting up the WW?

 

[StayLifted]

Your setup looks fairly similar to mine, may I ask what kind of ventelation your using? I'm struggling greating with heat issues

 

[jackinthebox]

Nice grow mate. Just curious, why the early harvest?

 

[valuablevariable]

The next day after flushing the one plant was half dried up and didnt recover, the other showed similar signs a few days later.
Staylifted, i have one hole for air to come in and 2 with fans blowing air out. The intake hole is on bottom and the outtake holes are on top so the hot rising air will get sucked out. Its about 85-90 right by the bulbs where the buds are, lower down its probably 80 maybe lower.
Whats your temp?

 

[StayLifted]

My temps with the door shut are getting up to 80 or 85 directly under the bulbs... so I've been leaving the door open durring the light cycle with a fan blowing at the cabinent, which is keeping it right around 75. Everything I have ever read says 72-78 is ideal

 

[valuablevariable]

Psh, ideal.... up to 90 is fine, 80-85 is great. Dont worry bro your plants are very happy

 

[StayLifted]

I'm not second guessing you by any means, I can see the pictures of your widow and you clearly know what your talking about. But can anyone else give me a second opinion just to clear up my worries? I've always been told 72-78 is prime temp, over that will stunt growth blah blah blah. If my box is running at 80 while the lights are on, and room temp (73-74) with them off, will this be an issue? I mean, everything will obviously be slightly cooler durring the summer when my a/c is on rather than heat, but I can always take fans out. I have them on a 16-8 lighting schedule.

 

[InvaderMark]

That won;t be an issue at all. its when you get into upper 90's and beyond that really hurts.
