I wouldn't know. I use 1000s HPS for 12/12 and then I use a T5 for three hours on each end of the 12 hours of HID light just to create a veg light cycle. I am not expecting the t5s to do anything other than make the plants think it is still springtime. I overlap them with the HPS to make sure no dark periods occur within the 18 hours. I'm relying on the HID bulbs to fill my scrog. other than that I use t5s in my nursery.

I should have been more specific. I get the concept of the quarantine space because I have such a space to prevent light leaks between rooms and I have worked in labs. what I want is some inspector gadget shit to fog me with anti pollen anti microbial anti insect but totally harmless to mammals. a dark quarantine sterilizing shower, basically.
what organics could you use to accomplish this?
pyrithrins and some anti microbial, right?

well you could wear a full biohazard suit and get sprayed by whatever they use in ebola labs, but it might hurt the plants. but i think if you just take a good shower with good soap and strong water pressure then that should wash away 99.9% pollen / microbes / insects, then you could spray some lysol on yourself if you want to. i used to do that when i was growing mushrooms.

i don't think there is something you could spray on yourself that would kill all microbes and insects but be harmless to you or the plants.

i agree but since I constantly go btwn 3 spaces it isn't practical to take a full shower between rooms

well you could have all the grow rooms connected to each other so you don't ever have to go "outside". personally, i don't even enter my small closet grow without rinsing off in the shower and putting on clean clothes.

Looking good guys keep it up! Unfortunately I decided not to go the scrog route only because I found some pests on a few vegging plants : / so I've been in emergency treatment mode>I got it under control but I just started my first week of 12/12 and I want to be able to easily remove/treat any plants if it becomes an issue. God I hope not!

I'm doing a 'Screenless' Scrog, lol. I'm still bending and pinching to keep the canopy as even as possible.

Just checking in. I had a spider mite issue in my veg room so I opted not to use a screen just in case I need to pull the plants out to do some emergency treatment. This is 2 weeks 12/12, I was planning on using a screen so I trained them in anticipation for that so I still have a nice even canopy. It's my no screen scrog I guess, lol.

At least you will have some hash material this time.
Last time I had about
1 1/2 lbs of it
This time I will have zero.
Wait,
I have to use bud for my hash now B-)

hi fellow scroggers
this is my first attempt so any pointers will be much appreciated, just trimmed up underneath today gunna go 12/12 in the next day or so im not sure if its too early or late? my goal was to fill every square but has taken a bit longer then anticipated.
Ive vegged under a 400w halide conversion bulb and will be flowering under a 600w hps maybe go to 1000w hps if I can get another ballast before its done. ( got a 250-400-600w digi at the moment) the screen is 2.5"x2.5" holes on a pvc frame in a 4'x4' tent.
not really sure where to go from here, do I cut out any of the weaker tips to stop overcrowding? how spaced out should I aim to have colas?

looking very good!8-) go 12/12 and keep tucking a little bit. probably want to aim for about 5 inches above the screen in the end. i would only cut small weak lower stuff below or near the screen. might want to aim for about one fat cola per square. good luck!
