Ah a man talking as if seeing through my eyesi,m at the point where some damage is starting there,s so many stems under there "that,s not a complaint
" i,ve been under and rerouted a few stems it,s getting to be a hassle however as you say another 7 to 10 dys and that,s them normaly ? Thanks for the encoureging compliments chaps, i,ll keep all up to date. P.S Do they look leggy in that photo ? i could not understand why the chap advised me "If you have the room, raise the screen a bit, that buys you a lot of room, great advise from the guy above
Hi TCD, I send you a PM.
Raising the screen a view inches without initially raising the light will buy you a view days worth of growth (space wise). If you do raise the light at the same time the plants will accelerate their stretch something like that: "Hey now, where did the light go, everybody lets grow faster it is trying to get away", sound silly, but that is what I hear them saying to each other lol. Once the stretch is done, the light can be adjusted to a more maintainable distance. I not iced that you do not have a 'cooled hood', how do you maintain canopy temps & humidity in that tent?

There,s a fan blowing between the light and canopy there,s is also an ecotech x2 150 fans imo masive overkill i can keep my room at 28c even in the hotest of weather, and i,m only running the fans at 30% trying to keep any Noise from my neibours.

Don't know if I'm butting in or not here guys... just wanted to post my scrog setup. It's my first ever grow, and I decided to go with scrog due to height restrictions. I'm having great success (at least, I believe I am), having just flipped 2 weeks ago. Here's a couple pics, and a link to my grow journal as well. Much love to the community, everyone...
Awsome, blessed are the basements ha. My climate zone is a bitch, AC, dehumid, chiller etc. all needed if I want to grow year around
Cheers! I think as long as it has something to do with scrogging you can bud in all you want. Even though in my book, as long as you put the bud in, you are always welcome
Looks great, and you have plenty of room on your screen.

Starting week 6 on Monday! Got 4 different strains in there lol, 3 of them just kind a bud in so to speak. The 4 in the middle are Blackwater, the black pot on the outside is a hindu kush, then we have a Romulan and a bubba in the blue pots. The Blackwaters are starting to turn dark, I'm contemplating lowering my night time temps a bit in order to help this out a bit. My humidity is higher then usual, but so are my growth rates, just got to watch it closely he he.

As long as your hood gives a good light spread and it is all bathed in light u will be fine. Your hood should be really shallow and have a slope on all four sides to cover that kind of space.

Thought I would share a few more photos of my scrog. Feel free to give any input. This is the 9th day after the 12/12 switch. Cheers

ScrOGers unite!!! Theres a tun of great ScrOGers here on RIU, its great we have a place to share. Heres a few pics of my scrog progressing to current date!
LST to get them ready for the screen:
built the screen myself from wood and twine, this was the only way I could get the screen nice and tight and to my exact specs (2.5 feet by 2.5 feet with 2.5 inch squares):
Switched to HPS for flower:
And finally, here they are as of today at the very beginning of their 5th week in flowering!

1.5meter = 5x5 feet, that might be a bit much for a 600. I run a 600 as well, my screen measures 4x4 feet and on the outside of my 4x4 I get about 20k lumen. Within the 3x3 I get 50k+ lumen. Keep in mind that under the light they are about 16" away, and on the perimeter they are about 29" away (corners).
Here I took some pics of what buds look like under vs. on the outside of the screen at 5 weeks:
View attachment 2115582 I changed my hood and added a light spreader to the socket this grow, and for the first time I have no burn going on under the light
View attachment 2115581This is a Blackwater bud @ 5 weeks under about 20,000 lumen (corner of screen)
View attachment 2115580This is a Blackwater bud @ 5 weeks under 50,000+ lumen (close to center)
So, there is a big difference here, in fact I think we could make an argument for switching to a 1000w if I want to maintain a 4x4 (1.2mx1.2m) screen or possibly go to 2 x 600w and size down the screens to 3x3.
I hope this answers some of your questions. A lot of this is trial and error, and logging our experiences, and learning from one anothers mistakes ha.

Yeah, tuck them under until the buds have formed, and the stretch is close to done (about 2-3 weeks into flower depending on strain light etc.)
When you think, oh man it's getting hard to put them under, put them under once more at least lol.
You do NOT want leggy buds that are 1-2 inches apart from one another, they will be severely under developed since they do not get any side light to speak of.
Looks great man!

Yes i kinda thought that. I think the next time i,ll use two 600w a 1000w would be most convienient but the output of two 600,s is to much to ignore imo. thanks TCD
WOW wait a minute i have my reflector hanging on a light mover + the parabolic = not a clue ? comment welcome. TCD
