Thanks. I'm pretty pleased that the screen installation came out just as I pictured it in my head. Just securing it to the frame with zip ties now for finalizing. It's very sturdy, which will account for my monster vigor, and the extra wide mesh gives me much room to play around with training techniques. I'm not gonna miss all that string.
I had it in my head to scrog eight grows ago when I first started, but I had my buddy install the shelf too low so never got around to it until now. I'm kicking myself in the head because I realized just how easy it was to solve the problem by making legs for the screen frame to raise the height. Duh.
No worries. I left a post at your thread. And I Loooooove giving guidance.
see me response in your thread. Peace.
Thanks. Yeah, this screen grow should be an interesting one. Even without the plants in there, just by putting the tub in place, I can visualize pretty well how the training strategy will pan out. This is going to be my most controlled grow and hopefully will result in a slightly greater yield (as well as better bud that is less stressed because they'll be lower from the light).
Correct and correct. It's to force the plant's main stalk to grow lying down so that its branches and bud sites are kept at an even level in relation to the light. They also will serve as supports when the colas get huge and top-heavy.
You and me both, doll.
Hey dude. When you start your new journal, can you put in an explanation of how you're going to change your res water? I know that you've used a water pump in the past. Is that what you're going to use the shop vac for? That sounds a little scary because a shop vac can suck pretty hard.
Hi, Dave. Yes, kinda sounds crazy getting a shop vac for that reason, huh? But you may be thinking of the giant kind that janitors use. I'll be opting for a much smaller model running at 3 horse power, which will still suck pretty hard, but I'll just have to be careful. I think it should be okay. There's a lot of room in my res for roots, so pushing aside a clear space for suction is feasible. I'll probably also cover the opening of the vac's suction hose with a very fine wire mesh to prevent accidental root suction.
AFAIK AN's GMB is the EXACT same as GH's GMB *but they claim theirs to be much better. /shrugsI've been doing a little nute shopping and came across Jungle Juice. Has anyone tried this? I'm thinking about trying it.
I've heard lots of people here talk down on AN based upon a perception they have formed through reading what others have written. But I'm afraid I'm only going to take AN bashing seriously from someone who has extensive personal experience comparing directly AN to GH in a hydro environment.
