I have not SGROGed yet....will you take those main branches
and try to get them to go through the holes farther out with the
idea that their sub-branches will fill the holes nearer in?

Or let them stay in the holes they are near now with the idea that
the lower down, side branches will fill the outer holes?

Good luck!

Yup, ill wait till those main tops are about 2" above the screen then tuck'em under. ill keep doing this until i have all the holes filled. she got 10 branches total and the bottom 4 dont look like they'er doing much so ill prob cut'em off.

Looking like she'll be nice and branchy, should be a real nice canopy on her. I usually cut anything that doesnt reach the screen by day 10 of flower. Shes looking great SS.

Sweet man. Glad my journal helped to inspire someone to hempy. It really is a simple system that produces great results. Feel free to bounce any questions you have my way, I will try to help if I can. You can also check out the crew here at World of Hempy. I'm on there alot and there is a wealth of hempy knowledge from some very cool people who really try to help. We are over 420+ pages and not a single instance of trolling to date lol.

Post us an update man let's see how she's doing. I am going to flush mine tomorrow and get some pics up. I'll see how full they look and I might be throwing them into 36hrs of dark tomorrow or soon after. I seem to amputate at least one plant per grow and I somehow hooked one of my training strings and snapped a top off the permafrost. I guess the good thing is she could most afford it at least. Anyway peace man I'll check back.

you should use your 250 for side lighting if you do not have heat issues, i added t5's at the lower half of my grow and some ppl say it wont make a diffrence some say it does. But i can say i have seen a diffrence, so if you use a hps you will have better results

stoneslacker- Thanks for the link brotha ill be sure to check it out, with no trolling of course lol. prob tonight before the light goes on ill snap some pics for a little update.
NICE! so pretty soon you'll be seeing those frosty green mountain tops man, good shit.
that sucks about the permafrost but at least it was during veg not flower...that would be devastating :wall:

twistedj420- i would most def be using my 250 along with the 400 but the powerbill costs, space, fan noise and everything else that comes with installing a hps just doesnt allow me to do so. i think fluros work really good too and more light is always better. its just i think the 400 is plenty for my setup. the screens the same size as my hood so it gets covered perfectly with light.

well i was looking at my girl last night and noticed some little with pistils. its a bit sooner then i woulda liked but i think ill still be able to fill about 90% of the screen. shes still growing fast and has a pretty strong smell coming from her already. i grew this strain last summer, i started her outside till she was about 8" then i brought her inside put her under the 250 and she blew up. she was prob 2'x2' when little crowns started forming. then one day i start to notice the lower leaves were dying, but it didnt look natural. i looked closer and seen the plant was covered with these tiny white bugs. i got so upset about the whole thing i ended up tossing the plant in the trash, cleaning up my grow spot and starting over. since then i bought this stuff called azamax, i havent had to use any yet but i hear it works good and if any insects come back i can get'em early.

I hear good things about Azamax.

I have not had bugs yet, but I am sure that it is a matter of time.

Good luck,

shes looking a whole lot bigger and drinking a bit more water too. these pics were taken yesterday, shes filled about 70% of the screen so far and still has some shoots popping through. i was pretty surprised to see the first razor leaves were still there (just about dead now) but still its the longest ive went with keeping'em alive. im so impressed with how good this hempy run is going...if this keeps up i dont think ill ever go back to soil unless its outdoors.

She is stretching really nice man. You're keeping her nice and level, should end up with an awesome canopy of bud bro.

The hempy bucket is really a great way to grow.

nice little update here. shes still going strong since the last pics posted. ive got about 40 bud sites now and 100% of the screen full, should make for some nice pics later on in flowering. i trimmed pretty much everything under the screen last night and took some pics SAM_2835.jpgSAM_2834.jpgSAM_2833.jpgSAM_2836.jpg

I took her out last night so i can really get at the whole canopy. really make it nice and even so when she starts crowning ill have nothing but bud from the screen up. i just bought some cal/mag cause i see my leaves are a bit lighter in color then i like. and, i got some liquid koolbloom. heard some good things about it so why not give it a try. im thinking ill give her a nice flush tonight with some florakleen, then on the next watering ill start the koolbloom.

Looking nice and full SS. I love the liquid koolbloom it really adds some bulk in my experience. Start the koolbloom light, around 1.5-2.5mL per gallon then around week 4 bump it up to 5mL.

Gonna be a sick canopy bro, nice job.

Thanks man. Does the koolbloom increase or decrease the ph at all?

man this girl can drink! i flushed her with 2gallons of fresh water & florakleen the other day, and in two days after...she was bone dry! i seen the leaves dropping so im like...did i over water or something? cause it just seemed too soon for her to be dry...then i thought, hmm let me see if she actually drank the water that fast...sure as shit she did. and now for this i have dubbed her camel...cause this bitch drinks more water then a fuckin camel...Yesterday i gave her some fresh nutes and i added 3ml of koolbloom and a drop of superthrive to the mix, she loves it of course...i took some pics right as the light was coming on today, shes gonna really start budding up these next weeks i cant wait!

Wow congratz man. That shure looks like a devil ;) Yeah keep up with the water. I remember not looking at the girls for 30+hours and the water had gone from 35Liter to 20 something. That fucks with the ph :(
Good growing m8!
