Dick does dank

This is the heart of my entire op: my worm factory 360. I'm very happy I spent the few bucks for this it keeps giving me free compost all year round to amend my soil and make teas with. I keep it just under the air intake for the bloom room to reap the co2 benefits of having a worm farm...worm farts are full of co2.

I got one of those things, they work great!

Haha thanks, yeah it IS quite a journey
Do you have some pix of that setup?
I keep hedging around the question of how to exhaust each chamber adequately whilst not allowing light leaks between the two - thinking along the lines of putting the exhaust fan in a box and letting it pull the air out of both chambers through different-sized tubing (smaller diameter for the smaller veg chamber)?

Sorry was a few years ago so no pics but I used a 6" Y splitter & if you accordion the ducting like a lower intestine or just spraypaint the insides black you won't have a problem...the corner box would probly work too

Ah cool, sounds kind of similar to what I've been thinking -- so that could actually work, not just look practical in my imagination haha

Rolling scrog screens!!!. Excited to see how these are gonna work. First three are the roll-a-scrogs (patents & trademark pending lol) that I just put a purple trainwreck in. She's been trained out flat & tied down to the screen and rolled to the preflower veg tent set at 17/7. Last pic at the bottom is a vanilla kush I just rolled into the bloom room. I'll update when they get buds growing on em in a couple weeks.

Ok here it is again. This critical jack clone has hermed out again like clockwork in week 10. I'm cutting her tonight but it's genetic for sure; none of my other plants in the bloom room have hermies.

Roll-a-scrogs, that's just great!!
Do I see that correctly, that you have those pots sitting directly on double-layered mesh --- & may I ask how big the pots are?

Yeah just stapled some chicken wire on the bottom for support. I use 10 or 7 gal smart pots in these but it would hold a 15 if I squeezed it in. They are 24" square. Want to build them octagon shaped but I can't find PVC elbows at the proper angle at bone depot.

Just a few updates. The first pic is a blueberry OG in week 6/7; smelling just like blueberries too can't wait to smoke this. Got about 8 tops just like this one; gonna be a decent yielder.
The 2nd pic is of a purple trainwreck just starting in flower; it's my #2 roll-a-scrog. Curious to see how this strain does; my homie scrogged out a clone from this plant that's been vegging since March & it was killer. Hoping my results are comparable.
3rd pic is a vanilla kush in the roll-a-scrog #1. So far it has exceeded my expectations & oughta yield some serious bud. The colas are about 12" off the screen; trying to keep the next ones shorter as some of the fans in the bottom are getting shaded out.
The final pic is a step-back of all the plants currently in bloom phase. Not previously mentioned is a super lemon haze & an Afgooey just starting off and there's the bbog finishing in the back in its final few weeks. Thanks for lookin

To add a side note I have been layering my pots when I build them TLO-style. Yeah I know some peeps hate this idea but it is working very well. Many times in the past my mix sorta fell off in the final weeks before harvest & I always thought it was from the plant finishing up. I find you can keep them greener for longer if you put a high N layer in the bottom of the container. Here's what I do:
When my plant has filled out its 5 gal pot I go to either a 10 or 7 gal for bloom phase. I first dump a layer of recycled soil with some fresh EWC at about a 8" thickness. Then I add in some composted chicken manure and some Jamaican bat guano; maybe a half handful of each & mix it in by hand...then a shovel full of soil on top. Then I sprinkle a layer of oyster flour to help regulate ph at the root zone. Then I sprinkle some granular mycorizzea & drop in my root ball. I will then apply extra myco to the sides of the root ball & then fill it all in with freshly recycled soil. A top layer of mulch is added along with at least one preferably 2 jobes organic spikes. Then water only for most of flowering maybe an AACT if needed but usually layering my pots like this keeps them a super green until final weeks before harvesting.

Roll-a-scrog #3 is now in the bloom room. Buddha Tahoe OG; she's a super dark green maybe I should back off on the N a bit for the next container I build


Here's the vanilla kush roll-a-scrog #1 in week 4/5 filling out nicely; smells amazing but not like vanilla; sweet but skunky underneath.

This super lemon haze is the only plant that has this clawing at the newest growth; it's only about 2 weeks in flower and has pretty much stopped stretching. Is it from my mix being too rich or could it simply be overwatering?
I've been watering them a lot recently because of the dry heat even though it's a/c-ed in here. All the other plants are flat and/or reaching towards the sky. Root balls seem light so I've tried to water more often but going light on the pour so they don't get soaked. Is that crows foot something I should worry about?

Ok maybe it was overwatered looks fine now; no more clawing.

Here's the vanilla kush roll-a-scrog in week 5; starting to fill out
Thinking I overvegged her by about a week; you can see in the bottom pic the main cola is super fat compared to the other branches that are all about the same size

Here's my blueberry OG in week 9; thanks for lookin

Wow they look great!

Beautiful set up bro. You've got your system pretty figured out and it shows. I'm really impressed by your modular scrogs. I've always wanted to try it in my perpetual. I'm looking forward to watching this. Stay safe and happy farming.

Nitrogen toxicity creates the claw look. With over watering and when the plant actually needs water, the entire leaf hangs down.

It was only the super lemon haze but she looks a lot better now. Think it's from adding a little too much chicken manure. She's still dark green but no more clawing. Buds are filling out now in week 4 of flowering. You are right though it was not from overwatering I just wasn't sure what to do about it. Organics are so forgiving lol

Whose critical Jack was it you were having problems with? I'm strain hunting and don't want to get that one. Thanks man!

Dinafem. Had a 3 pack but it was just that one seed that threw nanners; of course I made clones from her too which also hermied out. My grow has finally recovered from that mishap: that one plant seeded out all the others in my flower room. The blueberry OG I plan to harvest soon will be the first plant in awhile that has no visible beaners on it. My advice...get reg seed
