Bumps, Thx buddy I'm freaking surprise my self how it looks lol never seen a scrog grow in real life and I must say shit looks kinda cool haha.
As for the screen I just used some left over parts from a shelf system that my wife got from ikea, IMAG0486.jpg just used some zip ties to keep them in place and some 1" pvc pipes for the legs.

Definitely a nice canopy for your first. Its such a awesome sight when you start seeing the buds form into a carpet. Did you do some defoliating ? I couldn't tell and I was just curious.

just buy trellis netting. or what did you have in mind ? I have made quite a few.

Evo yeah I did a bit of cleaning under the screen, all the small buds that would not go above the screen are gone, same goes for the leaves DSC05083.jpg here's one picture of the bottom part of the plant, can't really tell from the picture haha I left couple of the big fan leaves under the screen but I think they'll go as well next watering.

Yah that metal shelving is nice. Coated and the squares are tight so in veg there isn't to much training. I use two nets when I do it. I use a bigger bottom netting. I just use trellis netting its cheap and good for support later on is all its there for. Then I like to use a tighter netting like chicken wire or w/e you want to do and I keep that on top of the trellis netting so I don't need to train the plant's that much. All I end up doing is lifting the chicken wire frame and putting it back down and pulling some branches this way and that way. Plant trains it's self to hold its weight horizontally so not much is needed to be done.

Just need to remember to remove it after two weeks because pulling buds through that tight ass screen is not fun. I have done it. lol. Trims them up pretty much by the time your done getting them out. lol.

I tried to tell people to just use pvc piping and drill holes through it and loupe what ever you want to make your screen through it. I see people do so much work and i feel for them. lol. I try to make everything simple and the least amount of work possible. lol.

Yeah I like this screen because it fits perfectly in my box, it's kinda heave to lol but I anchor the legs just in case.

I'm pulling the branches under the screen for about two weeks into the flower so about 4-5 more days and then I'll just leave it alone by that time I should be done with the stretch on botch of the plants, last night when I was checking on them didn't have to pull any branch under the screen it's like she know how to grow now haha.

KISS :weed:

I use liquid seaweed through veg and been trying it out as a foliar spray for seedlings and clones. I read its not good in flowering because it can delay or stunt the plant. It was on here that i read it just forgot why. It was enough for me to not continue with it through flowering. By then your roots should be well established anyway so i figured it made sense as well.

I use the maxicrop one. only because it's what at the local shop. I try out a lot of things until I find what I like. We'll see how this crop yields and tastes and go from there.

I was thinking about using this product somewhere around week 6 of flowering and only use it for a week no more, it has similar values to Canna PK13/14 this one has PK15/10

Make sure to still provide nitrogen to your plant during flower.

Thank you Ms. Flame, I know tiger bloom has some low N already in it, that's what I'm using know, but this thing that I got today I'll be only using it for about a week no more and it's going to be at the end of the flowering period, somewhere around 6th-7th week.

Hey buddy, thanks for the rep today, that rep lead me to your grow and then I spent a couple hours reading your thread. You’re doing awesome and the plants canopy looks sweet. Matt is a pretty good mentor.

When or if you foliar feed, you really shouldn’t after the buds start coming, like around the end of two week mark, especially if you have high humidity. You should also try to spray just before lights on if you can.The less time moisture sit on your buds the better, you don’t want the rot bro.

my thoughts are it dosent say organic anywhere on there.......be carefull if your trying to stay organic then go with this

http://www.amazon.com/General-Organics-Bio-Weed-Qt/dp/B007RQSOP8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1360596604&sr=8-1&keywords=bio+weed

i mean this shit looks like liquid seaweed. it would be a great ammendment to a nice flowering AACT along with some high P bat guanno you will be in like flint. im afraid that the plant food you have there is a salt based fertilizer and may damage your soil food web by killing off your microbes.

when you mixed that espoma into your soil you added life to it. if you look at the back of the package it will tell you what it has in it for living organisms. obviously its up to you in the long run but if you kill off all the life in your soil your food web will die off and you wont have anything in the soil to make usable nutrients out of the organic material in the soil.

not sure how much you have read on organics but the food/fertilizer you use that is truly organic actually has little to no nutritional value for a plant. it is essentially food for your soil. you soil then breaks down this organic material to provide the plants with food. like i said earlier a good flowering AACT with kelp and some high P bat guanno with supercharge your soil, you can use it at week 3 of flower and then again at week 5-6 and you shouldnt have to worry about needing any additional nutrients. you can also top dress with the high P bat guano and water in some liquid kelp to add more organic material to your soil. If you yop dress add a thin layer of the guanno followed by a layer of soil, this will make it so all of the guano can be accessed by microbes for proper decomosition.

gonna make me tear up bro :)

and yeah i agree 100% with the foilar feeding thing once flowering kicks in, during veg its fine but once buds start to form the risk outweighs the gain, bud rot is some nasty shit and you want to stay far away from it. if you do want to foilar feed make sure you just spray the big fan leaves and stay away from the buds, this can be benificial if done right just need to know the risks and avoid them

Matt that's what I was afraid of, I knew by doing that soil mixture I'm getting some micro-organisms in that soil and I read somewhere that by adding chemical fert. it will fuck with the micro thingis in the soil.

And I know shit about organics so that's off topic for me. I just got that pocket because I was at h.d getting something and I found that and it cost only 2.99 not planning on using that on this grow maybe I'll try it on some autos hahaha
