man with 600 watt hps, this will be a grow, to go down in the scrog record books. Even tho your using organic nutes, i'd still give it a good flush right before you start flowering and giving flowering nutes. Another thing that's really good is using non-sulfur molasses (aka carb overload nutes), helps microbes break down essential nutrients that the roots need for the plant. +rep for this beast grow. i can't wait till the final outcome, fingers crossed man
Just went and got 2 125W CFL's to hang either side of the reflector, I wanted blue spectrum ones but have somehow ended up with red. I was thinking a little blue light would be more useful than even more red light, something i'm already gona get plenty of from the HPS. So i might go and swap them both, depending on what ppl advise i do, and what would be best for flowering. If i were to add another 250W though i'd rather have that blue than red.
Anyway, thanks man, i hope this does go down in the SCROG history books! Would be mission accomplished. What's your logic for flushing anyway? I was thinking that the left over veg nutes (if any) would only keep the lower foliage greener for sliiightly longer than if i were to flush. I'm already more than familiar with molasses, in fact i use 2 different ones, grandma's molasses and muscavado (sugar), worked a treat last time, will definitely use them this time round for suuuuure. I cant wait for this either, i'm getting impatient and really want to stick the 600 in!
I would seriously consider flipping now. Like right now. They are going to go wild when the stretch.
I would also invest in some good fans. Your going to be battling mold when all those things bud. Not trying to be negative bud I have suffered bud rot in dense screens and it's a painful thing to toss tons of buds in the trash can cause they got rotten.
One more week man! Cummon, agree with me on this one and i'll feel a whole load better! I am preparing myself for some serious deforestation sessions, i'm fully aware just how much of a handful this plant is gona be in the next couple weeks, but i'm ready....
I've got 2 good 6" fans above the canopy, so far they've been on half speed all grow, when the canopy thickens up i'll switch to full speed for more penetration. Below the canopy i've intentionally left space for another 6" fan to circulate the air between the first and second screens. Anyway, ive changed my plans man, i was initially gona try and flower every single top i had at my disposal before i realised i'd be inviting mould with open arms, so that is why i've decided to pick the best 87 branches and flower them! Everything else is getting cut off. Also all the branches will be perfectly equally spaced, so if i get mould issues on 1 branch, chance is it'll hit every other branch equally hard.
I had mould when i grew super lemon haze, main cola's were bigger than my arm, and not once did i think to open them up and check. I learnt the hard way, but i've learnt.....
