Thanks. An especially sweet compliment coming from a Marijuana Expert. How do I get that title? Lol.
edit:
And I'm not sure how comfortable I am with the idea of inspiring someone, but again I'll just take it as grand compliment. Dog Kush has an edgy ring to it. Let me tell you, if it's a stretchy bitch like many OG Kushes, then scrogging is a pure joy. In fact, a shorter bushier strain isn't as well suited for snaking through the trellis. I'm discovering all these things on the fly as it's my first scrog.

I think you have to while away many hours on riu, has nothing to do with gardening skills, lol.

I'm pretty excited to see this one bloom myself. Seeing all the different colors you're getting just during veg. I'm sure it's going to be a light show once flowers pop. This green crack I have going, I see where it got it's name... the stems on this gal are neon green. It's rather alien looking at some points.

Great. Thanks. Yeah, I love it when people contribute their photos. Just spices up my journal and tends to increase traffic by cross linking to your grow.Since you don't mind other peeps pics lordjin, here's what I just threw together from the greenhouse for the dogscrog
bit ghetto, but it'll do the trick.
paws crossed all goes well.
That''s functional. It looks like that has a similar plant structure to OG. It pretty much has the same leaves as mine, but yours just isn't purple. Interesting.

Funny you should say that, Jin. My wife was a neurologist in Russia before she came to the US. And she always told me that my pain flare ups were partly triggered by the weather changes here, but for a long time I told her that was just superstition. But over the years I've come to believe it myself after noticing that there really is a strong relationship between changing weather and my pain. So I think that those 19th century doctors were right. I almost always get pain flare ups just before it starts to rain. For that reason, I've wanted to move to the Southwest for a quite a while now -- California in particular because of the pot laws. The only problem is that I can't sell my house because I don't have the money to pay off the loan. And if I walked away from it, I'd lose the credit I'd need to finance another house. So I'm stuck here unless the house burns down.

It's interesting also that you mention Russia, as I was thinking Dostoevsky and Chekhov when I mentioned the 19th century literature. Yeah, I'm a stoner who has read Dostoevsky and Chekhov. What are the odds, right? Lol.
Just lay low and take care of yourself, bro. We'll see better days.

Man every home owner I talk to in this country sounds like you. I'm so glad I don't own... Free to go with the breeeeezeeee... Plus I already live in cali... so why would I want to move anywhere else?Funny you should say that, Jin. My wife was a neurologist in Russia before she came to the US.

Those are really taking off. That leaf curl thing is minor. What's important is that you have a vigorous branch structure... and you do, so everything is peachy.

I like that idea.Man every home owner I talk to in this country sounds like you. I'm so glad I don't own... Free to go with the breeeeezeeee... Plus I already live in cali... so why would I want to move anywhere else?
Born free...
As free as the wind blows...
As free as the grass grows...

I'm interested to see how tall they get... For a sativa though... I'll tell you, I looked at some other green crack grows and these buds get super dense. I'm pretty stoked to read shit like that of course, I want a good end result.

Just keep a handle on your environment. If you keep things in good control, you should be able to bring out the characteristics of that strain pretty well.
These indica / sativa hybrids are tricky to figure out sometimes. The Tahoe I'm growing is viney and stretchy like a sativa, but they're developing indica-like broad fan leaves.

Astounding growth Jin,
I literally come back every few days, to find a different plant completely.
Alien growth.
In my opinion, good branches get those fat bubbles at the base.
When I say good, I mean really good.
I don't know if you'll use this trick, but here;
You can take a razor blade and cut out branches before they develop.
See how there's side branches that reach your screen?
See how those branches, have branches?
If you remove those now with a razor blade, while they're still rediculously small, all that unspent energy
goes to the remaining growth/colas/branches/budsites.
If can turn several colas with several lower nugs, into several rediculously jumbo large colas with no lower nugs.
Check out my grow for the proof.
Once again, don't know if you want to do this, and I know there won't be such thing as tiny nugs in your grow.
But that's what makes it even better.

Your suggestion is interesting. I'm seeing, however, that those little sub sub shoots are reaching right up perfectly to occupy the screen holes. I'm gonna veg for at least another five days, so I think I'll let those reach up and become legit nugs themselves.
But I do realize I will have to do some prune maintenance under the screen sooner rather than later. Don't worry, I'm not gonna let any small underscreen scragglers survive... But I don't see much of that in the future the way this plant is scrogging.

Looking really good there. It is filling up real nicely. You def could clone those mothers really easy. Out of all different strains I have grown. The Tahoes root real nicely and quick. Its just one of the fastest growing plants I have worked with. With medium length of flower period.

Thanks.
These strike me as a bit more challenging and the nuting is not intuitive at all. I'm just a little over quarter strength according to AN's nutrient calculator... and they still burned.
I'm gonna ease back on the Nitrogen when I change my water today.

Nutrients are a thing of debate... I've read in a few different places that less is more. Rather than burn and risk shrinkage, I've seen a guy that flowers under 420 ppm. That's stupid low, but he has much success from what I can tell. Also, my ppms haven't rose much at all since I planted them due to the fact that there is some babys in with 2 weekers. Which is ok, because lower nutrients doesn't always mean lower growth. It's a good lesson to learn I think, that plants aren't rockets, and more fuel doesn't mean a higher achievement.
