I had the same tent. On mine the zipper broke on my first grow, I was probably too rough on it. I was planning on building a larger grow area in my basement after this grow finishes out but I might use this for one more grow after this if we're still self isolating in July.

Update pics are from last night after doing my tucking. I have a lot more control over the canopy this time. I've been really aggressive with my pruning to make sure the tops are all exposed and removing extra tops that would cause crowding. I'm going to set it to flower on Friday night.

I stripped everything beneath the canopy on Friday and started flowering. I did a top up with my regular vegging nutrients, I'll do a full res change next weekend and give it flowering nutrients. I think I've been starting my flowering nutrients too early and that caused a little nitrogen deficiency. I broke a stem where I topped the plant a few weeks ago. it was almost completely snapped through. I put a piece of painters tape around the wound and left it alone. I took the tape off and you can see that it's compelled healed, filling in the crack perfectly.

Nice neat trim job! Do you use oscillating clip on fans above your canopy? I just ordered a small hurricane clip on.

Yes, I'm using the vivosun 6" oscillating fan. I bought two and one failed within six months. I couldn't figure out why my plants smelled like burning rubber lol. The other one is still going strong.


Here's some before and after pics of last night's tucking. They've stretched quite a bit in the past four days.

Thank you! This will be my third time doing a scrog, I love it and wish I started doing it earlier.

So LG, when will you start your “flowering” count? Number of days in flower I mean.
Just curious.

I'll start counting days from Saturday when I first saw white hairs sticking out. So 60 days from May 16 puts me around July 15 for harvest.

Thanks I gotta figure out how to change the thread title. The gorilla zkittlez is causing some confusion lol.

Filled in a lot more since the last pics you sent, looking good!

It got a lot fuller in the past week. I'll take some pics today when the lights are on. I plan on using some training wire to pull the shoots around this weekend, maybe try to fill it out a bit more. I'm guessing it's about as full as it was on the last grow. I think I would have been better off waiting until it was around 75-80% full before flipping with indicas.

How are you doing your full res changes with the buckets sitting right on the floor?
Click to expand...
I have a 1" hole with a bathtub stopper in the top of the bucket. I've been using a small inline pump to move water in and out of the buckets. The buckets are almost empty after five days so I don't think there will be any need to pump out for the remainder of flower.

How far are you keeping your lights from your canopy? If they are too far away at the beginning this could result in more stretch than desired.

I keep them about 18" from the tops when I have them running at full power. I had the opposite issue this grow, they stretched very little in the first two weeks of 12/12. First pic below shows how far they it is from the top of the canopy.

Pics below are 22 days since flip. I started giving them Kookbloom on Sunday and upped the PPM to 900. They're thirsty! consuming close to a gallon of water per day. I have two very unique phenotypes again. the one on the left has a lot more stretch between the nodes and the one on the right is much more compact.

Some chocolate mint og buds from my last grow. They've been curing for six weeks now. Super sticky and a nice couch lock high, great for helping me fall asleep.
