Enter The Scrog/Scroggers United Post Page

Evenin' folks of the scrog, hope all is well with everyone. Let me start by saying I have never done a scrog but plan on my next grow to be a 36x68" screen under two six hundreds in three gallon smart pots. These will be feminized sativa dominant beans. I have not decided on four or five plants but the selection of strains so far is this. Neville's haze and Hawaiian Snow, greenhouse seeds, Shackzilla and Killing Fields, sannies seeds and if I throw a fifth into the mix it will probably be a Laughing Buddha by barney's farm. I'll be using botanicare's pro soil nutes, veg and flower. For soil I use a mix of Scotts premium potting mix for containers mixed with some peat moss, perlite and worm castings. Once the plants have rooted I start giving them a brew of mycorrhizae, worm castings and molasses. I'll start my beans in the beginning of february and veg them for a bit in my tent under a t-5 with two 4100k and two 6500k lamps. I've noticed over time vegging under the t-5 keeps my plants very compact. I put a casey jones under my hps and into 12/12 on the eleventh of this month, it was maybe a foot tall, after six weeks of veg. In two weeks I've supercropped the main stem twice and tied it down the second time. If I hadn't it would be three feet tall by now in just two weeks under the hps. Anyway enough of that, I'm here to learn a trick or three about scrogging before my first attempt.

I've never understood the fimming thing, why not just top?

i used to think the smame thing...then i got two clones (same strain) and toped one and F.I.Med the other to see the differ..the F.I.Med plant grew alot slower and was bushyer in my case. the toped plant did what it always did...i think it whould work good on sativas right befor flower IMO

Hum, interesting meangreen! +REP for the info! I might have to give it a try one of these days.

Basically the same thing just a matter of where you cut, topping will typically result in two main tops where there was one, FIMing will typically result in four or more main tops.

also As far as fimming goes. ive never done it right before. as my understanding goes. its trimming 20% of a node at the apex meristem. I feel as though i have done this but I've never gotten more then two emerging tops. if you had a pic or a step by step link/advice.

Here's a technique using a bent razor blade I ran across that seems more consistent for me

Here are a couple of pics I had laying around that might help

Take a look at post #865 in this thread, a repost of cannabis training overview from GrassCity - a really good read and a great pic on FIMing vs topping

got a plant i just started from seed and im wantin to SCROG it....i usually do clones but i wanted to try it from seed...the plant is growing really well right now...transplanted it into a five gallon bucket last week....the nodes are stayin nice and close and its got new groth coming out of every node so im pretty sure its a female....now my question is should i top this bad boy and let it bush out and train all the new growth around the net, or should i just leave it as one main plant runnin round the net....i just figured if i topped it it would bush out like they usually do and it would fill the net up better....any advice would be appreciated cause ive heard alot of people discouraging from toppin when doing a SCROG, but i think it would give more from the one plant....thanx and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

8 week shots of the PE in scrog. Turned out great, 20 oz under 1k. Scrog is for EVERYONE haha

Thats my inspiration right there haha!!! Nice work SG!

someguy15, that is an amazing garden you have there. Those plants look healthy and happy man, great job. It must of smelled sooo good in there, i grew PE earlier this year, and i loved the smell.

What does PE even stand for? OOO... Pineapple Express, right? How IS that shit, boys? Someguy15, you did really well, props to you. Is that hydro or soil? I'm doing a ScrOG from seed under 2000W at the moment, I can only hope to do as nicely as you've done. Congratulations.

Right. I love it, been growing it over a year now, on my 7th round and still running 50% PE. That shot is a hydro setup, Flood & Drain. ty

Damn, I thought I clicked on "legalyflying's" scrog journal and was wondering WTF everyone is posting pics on his journal!!!!! oops..... JustAnotherFriedDay... what the hell... over 1100 post and you have never grown and are asking questions,,, Were the hell you post 1100 post and not be an expert in growing yet? .. Just kinda funny... not shooting you down.. BTW.. Love the avatar smellytreez... +rep Im And SG those buds look DEEElishious ...! Im about to start scrogging these soon... 12-Sour diesel,10-dj blueberry, 6-Big Bud, 1-Jack Herr... 1-ak47 I think I'm going to put the screen 14"-16" over the bucket top... That would leave up to 30"- 32" past the screen to my max light height (1000watters on a light rail)... any opinions on that?,,, It would leave plenty of room for tall bud stretch... I don't have heat issues... Thx for your reply's... Frogster

THanks frogster, +REP to U for a great start and some healthy looking girls!!! I'll eventually make it by your journal lol...

I'm new to this sight, and on my first scrog
Though I've been growing for a few years..

You're right Woodsman Toker,, it's a bit magical...
I love to watch the little babys grow up and bring so much happiness and relief to,, well ME LOL
Can I join your SCROG party??
I've read this whole thread, and don't really have any questions at the moment.

Here's mine from beginning to now.. I'm currently about 3.5 weeks into 12/12 with 3 Shiva Skunk, 1 Sensi Star, and 1 White Widdow...
I LST'd, then set up like a 5 on the dice and added the net and trained tops from in to out and some S patterns, I only had the 7" net on hand, so I weaved with string to make the holes smaller, and seems to work great...
I like the soft net, cuz if I need to move holes or adjust, I can pull the net up, move stem, and drop the net back down on it..
If it pushes the net up (in any one spot), I just climb under and do a little more LST to keep the even canopy..
It's climbing under on my back, but as many cars as I've climbed under to work on, this is only all pleasure.
OK, I'll shut up now... Here's some Pics..

HAPPY NEW YEARS TO ALL...

I know that all of us who see all the good of this BEAUTIFUL HERB hope for the future to be bright, for the ones suffering to get the relief that they so need, and have so long been deprived of because of idiotic industrial and political games..
So for a cleaner and brighter future for our children, and our childrens' children,, I hope and pray the wants of the greedy few to be overthrown for the "RIGHTS OF THE MANY" good and beautiful people who have for so long been oppressed...
Here's to US ALL...
And I believe with all my heart, and every fiber of my soul, this one silly little plant can...

Tomorrow is week 8 since flip to 12/12 gonna start flushing jack herer next week, Super lemon and pineapple look like they're gonna need a few more weeks so probably 2 or 2 1/2 weeks before I flush those.
