Question:

Once the plant grows through the screen and the buds begin to form, for this example let's assume when the chunk and the rezzzzzz start packing between 30-40 on a 60 day strain, do you take out the fan leaves to let air through, or do you leave them because they are,"Food"?

Please assume a totally packed screen. I have found threads on here where it looks like the entire screen is basically weed. This gives me butterflies in my tummy and makes me rub my feet together. I must do this, I must........

You must! leave them because they make the food in a sense, they make the minarals into useable complex sugars and starches through photosynth, it would be simmilar to a solar set up without the solar panels if you look at some scrog photos you,ll see the leaves are like a v shape, there lifting themselfs into optimal light catching area. hope this helps atb Tcd

having so much fun playing with my plants...thescreen is already filling up...no-where near full but i can see the progress...this is great to manage the canopy but for this particular grow i think the screen is going to act more as a stabilizer for some of the lower branches that arent quite there yet

once you flip into flower in doing a scrog you clean bottom leafs, And popcorn buds and keep trimming the popcorn buds weekly cause they will still want to form all this is below the screen this assures you that all of the plants energy is being used for all the 200 buds sites on top

once screen is full and you flipped to flower you should trimm all lower leafs and small popcorn buds that form and continue to trim them so all the plants energy is used to the top 200 bud sites some people use the term umbrella lolli pop there no need to keep this stuff below screen as it wont be getting any light

I'm new to scrog and I have to ask a question that I am sure that someone has already asked before. Do you need to top you plant when doing scrog or do you just train it to grow where you want it to just like the other branches?

hey man, i top my plant when she's only 2 or 3 days old (clone) and again before flowering at around 4 weeks veg, you can really go either way, personal choice really, topping seems easier to me, and more even, you can control the space a little better, but if you just want one big main cola at the end of your long snake of growth then train through the net as a few people have here, i also top to even out the sizes of my top colas, it helps control vertical growth also, so it has alot of advantages.

i feel that the screen IS my LST or topping. why slow growth twice. i'm a firm believer in reaching the screen quickly, and weaving magic there. although this works with clones, better than seedlings. if from seed, i let it get to about 6" and bend it over and pin down. one bend. and then ScrOG resulting tops.

Its a 1.5m x 1.5m x 2m tent and its full ! there under 1 x 600w for both veg and flower, last time i used 1 net with alot of horizontal training and produced 1 pound, here ;

Super Lemon Haze Grow

theres so much more this time, i believe it will be around 2 pound.

Hi All,

Newbie question here and you might see the same question dotted about the forum.


need help with transplanting on a scrog grow. Am I right in saying that my clone goes into a 6" pot, then transplant into a 1 gallon pot for start of veg, Then transplant to a 3 gallon pot about 1 week into veg, Then 5 gallon few weeks into veg, finally 10 gallon for flowing.

1, at what hight to start training under screen?

2, how hard is it to transplant between bigger pots?

3, is it dangerous to transplant that many times because of the chances of killing the plant? If so is there any other way?

Thanks for all the help because I have searched and can't find any information regarding transplanting during a scrog grow.

 

[scroglodyte]

1) high enough to work scissors under screen; long bonsai scissors allow for lower screen.
2)when you start getting over 3gal, they are heavy and awkward.
3)transplanting, done with care, causes little stress, imo

So I will need to finish up on a 10gal pot? Is it neccessary to transplant that many times?

Sorry for all the Q's as I need it set in stone before I start. Thanks

i use 1 60 litre pot and thats it, why transplant if you don't need to? maybe one transplant, thats all i'd do. one small, and one big

I was wondering what size pots you finish in? Also, What is the medium you are using? Finally, how do you water?


My main obstacle is watering my plants. I am in a tight area, and really really wish I had a more efficient way of watering my plants than a 1 gallon, pump sprayer and a wand. I hope to start some soil--Super Soil-- excuse me, soon so I will no longer be mixing nutrients, and that should take time off watering, but I still will have the problem of getting in there(a dr60 2x2) and watering. It looked like you have drip rings?

for those who don't know, i use 100% perlite in a 50 litre hempy style re-circulating system. Cyco Nutrients

Cheers for that but I'm doing 4 plants in a area of 1.6mt x 1mt with 2 x 600watt hps lights. Would you still use one 60liter? What size did you transplant from in to your 60liter? Thanks

you would most likely want to have it setup like Haze 420, he may be back on later..., i went straight from clone (with roots ofcourse) into the large pot.
2x 600's would be hefty for that space...ideally you want around 600 watts per 1 metre squared.
If you have 4 different strains then go for 4 pots, if they are the same strain then you could grow a couple of big ones, or whatever suits your needs really. it is easy enough to set up a recirculating system that feeds automatically. the feed rings up top get fed via a pump on a timer, the pot sits inside another pot, which drains into the bottom pot, and returns to the res tank. The pump auto feeds every 2.5 hours, 15 minute feeding times.
