You can kind of get a sense of scale from the size of the CFL, but i was mainly showing you an example of how someone attached the scrog to their plants container.

Your plants look great btw.

Thanks for the good karma Smoote! :mrgreen:

Took another look at the scrog you sent too, unfortunately we can't attach the net into the soil cause we're doing a DWC... but definitely likin' the use of the tubing. Maybe for the next grow if we're not doing a vertical scrog

.

On wednesday our babies enter the first month of flowering and still no signs of pistils. Any thoughts when they'll show?

No problem.

I was was thinking more of four holes in the lid of the hydro tub that the four legs, or PVC piping of the scrog could slide into. The legs/piping would be long enough to reach the bottom of the inside on the tub and allow for proper spacing of the screen height above the top of the tub's lid. The scrog would then be attached and removable with the bucket, also since it is essentially attached only to the lid you would still be able to lift the lid and scrog off very easily and change the reservoir.

However I'd love to start a vertical scrog revolution. :cool:

Do you mean "entering the first month" as in they're just starting or they are finishing out they're first month and are entering their second month? I just got confused :confused:

That's so brilliant man. :joint:

Hahaha no prob. Nah dude, the first 4 weeks of the plants being in 12/12 is over on Wednesday. So then that means they are finishing they're first month in 12/12... Hopefully we'll see some signs of flowering soon. If you check back in the posts because we only vegged two of the three plants for 4 weeks and 4 days and the third for 3 weeks, Easygrinder believes that the insufficient lack of veg time means late flowering signs :???:

. But we just can't wait to see the fruits (...er, buds, rather) of our spoils begin to show! Can't do anything but watch the weeds grow... :leaf:

Cool, hmmm thats a long time, i hate the wait as well.

Dude, it doesn't make any sense. I know this is a stupid question but are you positively sure you set the timer for 12 on 12 off? I have no other ideas.

They still look nice and healthy though. :bigjoint:

Ray Fox · May 4, 2009

Oh and sorry again for the shitty pics you guys, camera phones are only so good. But we promise better quality pics when they start flowering!... if that ever happens

. And if you can't read the picture above it says "signs of fem sex but still no pistils". Actually they are large stipules and but tiny calyx formations(you can't see them, and we barely can even looking at em)... so we think. Hope some actions happens soon :cry:

... So anxious for :leaf:

its painful!

Hahaha no prob Jig :mrgreen:

. And yes we're sure. The timer turns the lights on at 12 Midnight which remain on until 12 in the morning. We're still riding on Easygrinder's theory that the low veg time has made them take longer flowering but theoretically wouldn't that mean that they would have already started flowering by now? All that's really left to do is wait...

easygrinder · May 5, 2009

you should see some hairs in the next week or two, shouldn't be too much longer now

Ray Fox · May 7, 2009

Thought it would never happen but here they are, 31 days into it, the pistils are here!!! WOOHOO!!! Not to mention the early definitions of many colas :bigjoint:

. Finally!!! WE ARE SO THANKFUL FOR THIS ALREADY!!!

And thanks so much to you guys!

:weed:

Pics Below! Enjoy.

P.S. We're gonna use a better camera now and a magnifying glass for trichs and such. Here's where the REAL fun begins. :eyesmoke:

Thats really od about your flowering time. I grow soil organic and I see pistils by day 10.

Ray Fox · May 10, 2009

Hey everyone so the babies have started developing flowering tops and corners in most of the stems. We still have lots of room for flowering but the problem is that there's just no more room to tie down the stems and if we raised the net then the lower branches that are already tied down would snap off. So... we kinda have to continue as is. But no problem! :blsmoke:

The hairs are very noticeable and there isn't any obvious aroma just yet, except when you get close to the tops and smell them there is a light, sweet odor, with an almost citrus like tang coming off at the end. Its very nice :mrgreen:

.

Also we took some random pictures with a camera for the first time (The macro focus is kinda gay on the camera but the pics came out alright... we'll get more practice). This means avatar upgrade! Check em out!!

MostlyCrazy · May 10, 2009

Not much room in there, huh! Mine don't start to smell from far away until about 5-6 weeks into flower. Since you have the screen where it is, how about taking one of those big plastic coated paper clips, undo it so you have a hook on each end and move those tops around to get as much light on as much of the top over the screen as possible. Just hook one end below the bud you want to move and attach it to the screen below. I use them for "bud manangement" to keep as many smiling faces (buds) pointed at the light as possible. Don;t have a screen so I attach them to each other.

S'pose you can't really tell in the pics but we actually tie them down with twine.

Ray Fox · May 11, 2009

Oh and there's still about 2x2x2.5 feet of space left for the girls to grow... the only thing is we probably gotta cut some holes in the top soon for the lights. Wonder how big the buds are gonna grow in a couple weeks... There are literally buds ALL :leaf:

whats with the "our" "us" and "We" shit? Do you have a twin sticking out of you or a fetus or something? Did I miss something in your journal?

that would be an accurate assumption, bright one :joint:

Lol just messin with ya mane..

yo ray, im jealous how healthy they look!

Now im no scrog grower, but im pretty sure that when you grow with a scrog, your supposed to clip OFF all the little weak branches that are under the screen that get no light. That was all the energy is focused up higher towards the buds above the screen which are getting the light.

I would look into that, im not 100% sure but i do remember reading that in another scrog journal somewhere. Try reading up on it.

thats just 2 plants right??

MostlyCrazy · May 11, 2009

Hey Ray! I see why you changed your avatar! When that one popped up it almost startled me. Ok it startled me! Can I use that as the reason that I didn't catch the tie down! LOL! Nice healthy plants. The rest of the grow is all about light management.

Well Anhedonia, since you are so insist on again asking in your usual less than friendly way, let's just take a moment and THINK shall we? Perhaps Ray Fox is more than one person monitoring this grow and referring to the growers as a collective "we" or "us". Maybe its one person monitoring the grow on RIU, but the grow itself involves multiple people being referred to in the plurality out of respect. If you know your history, Ray Fox is one of the 43 aliases used by Howard Marks. And Ray Fox remains an alias, just like anhedonia. However, it lacks the same sick meaning as the word anhedonia itself. So here's your singular as used by a possible collective: I don't understand why anyone would name themselves after a psychological term for the inability to experience normal pleasure from pleasureable things in life and expect people to like them. Please feel free not to comment on this thread again.

Hey Motif, glad you're back man. And yeah Easygrinder decided to mentor our grow and yup, we took off all the leaves below the net (explains how all those scroggers got their grows so clean...) and shut out any opening that could let in light so thing are going swimmingly. These babies are growing so much every day! :bigjoint:

Crazy, glad to see you too! Sorry for the mix up haha.. Here's a heads up for another avatar change in a couple of weeks for when the buds get really big. Thanks for the love you guys!! :joint:

Plus here's a pic of the tying method and a growing bud being kneaded in my fingers.
