Hey BB, what nutes do you use? I am sure I have read it somewhere once upon a time, but being a stoner and all........:sleep:

You think I will have issues hitting the lb mark per plant under a 400w HPS? I was getting 3/4 lb off 2 plants before using just straight up GH 3 part! I added some AN Big Bud and Overdrive last round to a crop I sort of stressed all to hell. Regardless, I definitely got much denser nugs by adding those 2 supplements to the reservoir mix! This grow, I have the full line of AN to get the hang of them and do some trial and error experimentation. Using a screen and knowing each strain's needs once I have them all dialed in, I honestly think I will be pushing the lb marker now that I have doubled my lighting! Only time will tell! There is still a long way to go for 2012! :bigjoint:

yeah watch out dawg, looks like your screen is way too small. if they stretch anything like my girls, you could center that one on the bottom left, flip it now, and still fill out the whole screen. mine were from seeds though, idk about yours.

No. 18/6 for at least 1 more week maybe two. I want to fill the screen as much as possible before flipping to 12/12

If you fill it out too much then you will overcrowd your screen. Fill it out about 2/3 then flip and fill it in with the stretch or you will regret it. But another week should be fine.

I use AN Sensi Grow A & B with Overdrive, Big Bud, B-52 & Voo Doo Juice. I think it will be tough to get a lb per plant under that 400 w but it can be done under the right conditions and a long veg time. I got 9 oz dry off my last plant and feel I could have gotten a little more.

Well, from my previous grows, I am very confident that I will be able to get 3/4lb per plant for my 800 Watts total! The screen is going to double my output at the very least. I figure 2 week veg under the screens at most from now on when knowing the strain! That is not including my cloning and veg under my T5's just in case you are thinking I am totally crazy! I should be able to move in plants that are 1.5' tall with some good sub-growth and spread out fairly well now that I am understanding what I need to do to utilize this screen thingamajiggy.....:eyesmoke:

ps. A suggestion if you are using AN. There is a place on fleabay that is selling AN for dirt cheap with free shipping with orders over $85(isn't hard with AN). They are including with that purchase: 50g Big Bud, 50g Carboload, 40g Bud Bloood! Just so you all know and may want to place an order!?!(they will match any online advertised price as well just in case) If you place multiple orders, they WILL give you the bonus with each order as well and ship them together!(they did with mine anyways!)

edit: have to edit 10x cause I am stoned when I post and don't spell check.....:wall:

The screen is 4'x4' and the size of the holes is 2"x2". I'm gonna veg until about 2/3 full then flip.

If I were you, I would be thinking about going 12/12 like... this weekend!(unless you know those plants don't stretch much)

Take my suggestion as a grain of salt as I haven't done a scrog until now... but looks like you will be running out of space in a hurry with that many plants and trying to scrog!

ps.....DUH! :peace:

Some pics of the setup would be helpful but for starters you need to get a screen installed in the grow area and let the plants grow up into it and start the training process

that was my plan... i flipped ahead of time (@24 days veg), when screen was probably 2/3 full with 4 plants. then 2 plants turned out male, and the remaining 2 still filled out and outgrew the screen and are now crowding eachother. i wish i had just one plant in the center of the screen now. also iwould move the screen up a lil bit cause mine turned out kinda low and doesn't give the buds at the canopy any support. or you could add a second screen like a foot or so above the first one, cause having the screen low during veg is pretty nice. i put a couple pictures up of my last day vegging on the first page of this thread and also what they look like now.

Well, I have been more than patient with this SCROG! I haven't actually veg'ed a plant in my bud area in a long time now! I am eager to see what this is all about! I am beyond stoked at how even the canopy is now, but just hope I have a prayer of keeping it that way in the next week or two!(added a BK clone to the area just to make sure I fill out the screen completely!(forgot to mention, I am NOT doing DWC this round.... NFT) I will be building a whacked out system that I will be able to incorporate UCWC/DWC in one system to fit my needs.(in the works atm) This will be very small scale btw: 1-2 res, 2 DWC buckets, adjustable as required. I am aiming to be able to do 2 different strains in the same bud area using the same screen. Start off with 1 common res and have the possibility to use just the DWC res's if running 2 different strains with different bud times towards the end. If I start yielding what I think my full potential is utilizing the screen, I may not have to go to this extreme, but on the other hand, think incorporating under current to the setup can only enhance things even more! I am going to hit the lb/plant maker one way or another BluBerry!;-)

Pic 1 is of that BK that was on its last legs! A bit over a week later and it fills out 1/4 of my screen!

Slanty: I would be careful doing 2 different strains under the same screen. I have 2 different ones in there now a 8 wk and a 12 wk flowerer and I don't think I will be doing that again. I will keep the same strain or at least strains with the same flowering period. Good Luck with the lb per plant. I never said it couldn't be done I said it will be tough but you don't have anything to prove to me. Good Luck and Happy Growing!

Looking Good Minz! You're getting the hang of things this round huh? Lol

Supz Blu. This round hasn't been too bad, but I still think I should have trained for another couple of days. It really is difficult to see how I did with all the canopy leafage so all I can do is hope. I'm shooting for 4oz at least. It's not in the genetics to pull more than that I dont think. I've got a ways to go still....I havent pulled 8 dry oz off a plant yet and the closest I've come was the Bubblelicious weighing in at 6.5oz. I've learned a boat load though as usual and things dont seem to be waning away quality-wise so I cant complain at all mane ;)
