take a few when lights on in the morning, i`ve only been at it for a little over a year, only three grows in learning and upping the room as i go, first were cfl grows, all around the 600w mark and more than enough lumens but just wasn`t getting the yeild needed too supply my wife and i in smoke and no where near enough to mae some hash or canna butter, so my first hps grow with scrog and hopeing for the best this time hahahaha heres hopeing.....

 

[DrFrankenstien]

yeah, my first few grows were ok... my very first was a test run from really good bag seed.. not bad.. but i just wanted to be ready for my SLH.. i've been getting used to her and what she needs.. and its crzy as you dial in they just look soooo happy

gotta keep it moving... i was fortunate to have to solid strains from opposite sides of the spectrum.. the ak hits you in the face and makes you look silly.. lol but the haze is just outta this world... i have a blue dream haze that i may run next.. super silver haze x blueberry.. i'm just hoping its as branchy as the slh.. it loves the screen!

 

[ae86 grower]

the shanti i grew out last year after being topped was branchy as a mother f......

only topped once aswell.. can`t wait to get things going but as you know its a game of patience this growing...

hey ppl i have a question I have read a whole lot about scrog and it will definitley be my next grow. I understand everything about it except one thing how do u get all those branches read one thing that said to top your plant as soon as it drops its coddling leaves but that would only make 2 tops and it looks like there are 20 branches coming through the screen so how do u get that many branches to come through?

well lets look at a non topped plant, it will have a cola and many branchs under that, when you top it will encourage the two top branchs to grow up to two tops, but the other branchs will still grow too, now top the same plant again and you get 4 tops and so on, or as dr frank, theres fimìng aswell but that practice i`m not good at..



hahahaha so it really is "Fuck I Missed" (fim) for me hahahahaha....

LMFAO!!! yeah it takes some practice but it helps you get bushes from plants that would normally just be tall and kinda branchy if you know what i mean.. i've let some SLH go untopped and au natural.. and shes a beautifull plant very "classy looking" with long delightful looking leaves.. i've also topped multiple times to get some nice bushy plants.. if you could fim and get four braches.. let her go till she gets to the screen level .. then start working her across... or you could lst the 4 branches.. and when you put the screen down she'll already be a little more full...

topping has been my only plan of attack so far, i`ll be F.I.Ming this time round so, i`m starting to lst the three biggest plants tomorrow, simple lst by tieing to the side of the tub is all, i think my circulating fan is doing a pretty good job on stem strenght so far...

i have got it aimed right at the tho..

Well greenhouse says hydro as early as 9 weeks.. however all catalogs have it listed as 10-12 weeks .. I'm planning on giving her the 10.. unless she's showing earlier ... She's fattening up daily...
