497W CFL Bubblegum Semi Stealth DIY DWC Wardrobe Grow - The Summer of Knickers

Haha no worries mate, thanks for stopping by.
Unfortunately it looks like this grow has come to a close. Due to uncertainty regarding my lease, and as the house is frequently being inspected by prostepcive buyers, I today moved the plants to my mates. Unfortunately due to my inability to put them into flower they're quite large, and during the car trip they boh broke their polystyrene inserts and took a beating fom falling over. They can no longer stay upright without support, and the branches have major droopage and some breaks. They've been supported with some thick rubber coated wire and I'm hoping for the best but it doesn't look promising. I'll clone them if they don't make it.
Chopped my stupid mutant outdoor plant too, it had budded for 6 weeks and then resumed growing so cut my losses and it's drying in the garage ready to turn into some Christmas hash.
I'll let y'all know how it goes, pity they couldn't be finished, their stems are faaaat as.

Alright here are a few shots to make up for the lack in this thread:
This is my two bubblegums after just being removed from their cab and ready to transport. They were well over 50cm tall, however by the time I got them in their new home it was more like 30-40cm they had drooped so much.
These are a few pics of my mates setup I'm helping him with. Done on the very cheap, hence the safety fence scrog screen
He called it SCroOG (screen of orange and green ) and it does the job... chopped it off some that was on the side of the road near his place. The plants are clones of my last bagseed grow and are 2-3weeks in flowering in these pics. Its around a 9 week flower time, so look to chop in 6-7 weeks 
Pre and Post trim
Mmmm
And these are some snaps of my plants before being removed from a couple of weeks ago. They were growing so well

.... yr m8's plants look lovelyBugger theyre still very soft stemmed. I'm struggling to keep them vertical, and have resorted to putting a loose ring of wire around the base which is fixed to the netpot side to give some support, and then stuffed styrafoam round the base to keep it in position. Both plants are alive, but theyve both copped a real beating (few breaks etc) and are still not secure... and I'm not quite sure what to do. I'm thinking of trimming the bottom 3rd of the branches as this seems to be where most damage is, and these are also the stretchier of the branches. I really feel that a 400W HPS would solve all my troubles right now.. 1 light and just tie the branches in place.. but I am so over spending money right now, damn Christmas.

loookin nang mate. Loving the ghetto SCroOG
Well the plants are still alive but who knows how long for now!
They've started flowering under shitty CFL light, they're stretchy as he'll and can't support their own weight and better yet they're still hanging loose in their res and fall completely over with a stiff breeze. Yesterday I dug a hole and sunk the res
about 2/3 of the way outside. The plants look shite, the res can't be fully sealed from outdoor nasties, and they've gone from 12/12 to 14/10 with the summer solstice round the corner they'll go from flower to veg to flower again over the next month.
Bah.

cool shit!, u dont mind that the screen your using is kinda blocking the light?? i mean i kno those cfl's aint kikn out much , but i would think u would want to OPMTIMIZE ur set-up?? rather than using construction gaurd gate, sumthing....thinner?? i would even go as far as to say add a couple below canopy mayb?
Haha yeah I know I told him plenty of times but he never bothered looking for anything else. We chopped this evening actually! He hadn't been taking care of them for the last week as he was too busy with work though so it wasn't surprising to see they had started to hermie as the door and come open and he didn't notice for 3 days. Looks like 2 and a bit zips worth though and smells delicious! Smoke report on the weekend and pics tomorrow.

be good to see wotcha got, best of luck * enjoy
Unfortunetaly I'm still unable to upload pics.
Short story is the plants chewed through 35L in 1 week and caught me unaware. Guess that the problem when your plants aren't at your house. Anyway they got very stressed, and I believe the lack of water/pressure caused the roots to smother the air stones and so even after I filled the res, the plants were still suffering. Of course the next day was a scorcher and 20% if the leaves dried/died, and it's pushed out 3 and 1 bladed leaves from the stress over the last week. Still they are both over 1m tall, and the biggen (which I've cloned) is close to 1.5m and is starting to bud up. I just hope they dot hermie after all the shit they've been through :/
The upside is 100% success with the clones. I did them in rockwool in the AG with yates purple x and Phd water. 24 hr lighting, pumps on 15 min on/off cycle for the first few days, then on constantly. Roots had all popped after 8 days, with 1 plant already having 1.5cm protruding roots.
My mates bagseed scrog of 2 plants with 192w of cfl yielded just shy of an ounce off each of the plants. He has 2 outdoor clones of the same now. One is almost 30cm and should start flowering in the next few weeks, and the other is a runt at about half it's size.
When I can upload pics I will!
