400w in a 250w ballast does not sound healthy mate get the proper bulb, I think you'll find you'll be better off.
ScrOG is a piece of piss man XD if your interested look at my previous grows and or my current grow (could use some followers lol)
OR just look at these pics and read this link!
https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/172536-good-scrog-bible.html long read, extremely useful about growing in general too, but if your not willing to read you shouldn't be here sorry to say XD

Basically you let the plant grow through the screen once its a few inches above you just pull it under to the next square along, rinse and repeat, and job done.
Good work everyone else GG nice looking buds man! I see Doob's is filling in with my slacking lol
AND for all you new comers, welcome and all that jazz keep visiting, this is a great useful thread with lots of good minds to pick at if you get stuck
Right off to check on my clones now!
Stay Frosty!
Lol I'm always around, regardless if I post or not. I'm the Mama bear of the club lol. MB is right get 250 lol.
Yea im in love with this GO line. ive never had a plant look like this, i mean she just looks like shes loving life right now, how your grow coming with the GO line are you as happy with it as i am??
It's coming along, there are new updates in my journal if you wanna take a look see. Just click on the banner and it'll take you to it. I slacked on my gigantic mothers, so they are showing some N deficiency. Got some BW clones, KB is still rooting. BBG is growing like a beast, NLxBB is a super heavy feeder. I kept thinking I was nuking it, but it was a big ole' deficiency. She's catching up slowly, will probably have to super crop her with light LST now because she's so far behind. No biggie though, I've done all of the techniques so it's cherry. The GO line is really forgiving especially when you slack, it always brings the green back in a day or two. I really like it a lot.
you know some people will bag on scrog because its not a natural way the plant grows but how can you says anything like that with that happy looking girl there. love your grow MB buds look killer
Lol yeah those people are kind of funny.... I mean nature has all sorts of obstructions that make a cannabis plant have to train itself to get light. I don't think people give the plant enough credit, these plants are versatile and survive a lot of abuse.
I am doing a Hydro Grow (DWC). The temp of res is 68 and the temp in Cabinet is 76. The ppm of the water is 140 ( no nuts just tap water sat for 48 hrs open container). then finally the ph is 6.6
. I germinated the seed, paper towel method. After it germinated i put it in rockwool which was soaked in PH 5.5 water for 24 hrs. Now it has been 72 hrs and i have this tiny little sprout that sprouted in 24hrs and now it has not changed at all....... The seed is Afghan Kush X Skunk. I am using a 250w MH bulb the distance is about 16 inches but have mylar everywhere. Should i just keep waiting of just scrap this and just start over with another seed... or am i being impatient here

Lol yeah.... you're being way impatient. The plant is fine, you've got a good 3-4 months to go until harvest/cure/final product. I can't wait to see it get into bloom.
Thanks! shame those ones are gone XD
And why does everyone's hydroton stuff always look so spherical
do you pick them out and put them on top to make it look all pretty lol, mine look like mangled rocks XD
Your being a bit impatient lol, seedlings are the longest things to wait for ever
they seem to take an eternity to do anything 'cause they're developing a decent root structure before leaves.
Lol I just dumped mine in after I cleaned them, and leveled it half assed. I like them even for soil, I just top my soil off with them. It makes watering easier imho. Maybe it's your supplier?
I changed the fan and handled the heat problem. Thanks to everybody for the help. From the newbies questions never stop and here another one
Is this chart OK I am little scared from over fertilizing and I am giving to my plants half of the dose wrote in the chart..
I am on week 6 now Afghan kush auto, should I feeding them whit 3ml per 1L water BioBloom + 1ml per 1L water Bio grow (4 ml nuts per 1L water) Thanks again !
Go ahead and try to bump it up to 3 and 1, the last feeding was 1.5ml and 1ml at half feed correct? If you're really concerned go with 2.5ml that will only be half a ml more than what you'd be giving her at half feed on week 6. I don't think she'd be too upset with 1ml more at 3ml though.

Thank you very much it has been 2 yrs since i last grew so i dont really remember thank you guys. i dont know what i would do without this site. Also i just figured out also what is causing the prob i am such an idiot. My timer is broken. I just decided to test it now. My light has been running 24/7 my poor seed it has had no time to make a root structure because if i recall sleep time the roots grow and structure. Bought a new on and now going to be 18/6. Hope i did not stress the plant to much
I go with 24/0 22/2 and then gradually drop it down to 12/12 or just leave in the dark for a little longer then switch. Depends on the strain and how finicky it is personally. Roots grow more during dark hours yes that is correct. That is why I like 22/2 or 20/4 most for on/off periods, it keeps the nodes nice and tight. Photo period mess ups are more forgiving during veg, bloom though.... you don't want that happening a lot. Maybe once at max 3 times, but still avoid it if you can.
hello everyone, a little update on my super critical grow, the seedlings are doing great started LST 2 days ago and transplanted into a bigger pot with roughly 1 part worm castings and 3 parts soil ( which is John innes seed) there on there 16th day from planting the seed and probably about their 13th day from sprouting. still having temperature problems but i can control it at 26-28C with the door open and a fan blowing in, going to be buying a new fan on friday (its out of stock till then) so i dont need to keep the door open and have a noisy fan blowing in.
here's the fan >
http://www.greenshorticulture.co.uk/categories/Growroom-Products/Fans-&-Fan-Filter-Deals/Airteq-Budget-Inline-Fan/
it looks like a decent fan they compare it to ruck fans and say its just as good but at a cheaper price.
cant wait to sort out this problem so i can relax and just wait till they flower
.
but yh here are some pics ...

View attachment 2115646View attachment 2115644View attachment 2115639
any advice and your opinions is wanted ,and also because im using worm castings will i need any nutes during veg??
thanks
Wait longer to start LST, you've got it really close to the soil. I like to keep my plants a little higher, about 4-6 inches above top soil. Below that is cut off, or cloned. Either way it's cleaned up at the bottom, it helps provide better circulation and lessens chances of mold and pests. Looks good though, as far as nutes you may. It depends on how long you veg, and how much worm castings you used. If they show signs of deficiencies then start feeding them, until then I wouldn't worry about it.
