First Time Growing Scrog

Hi,

So i have been lurking around here on RIU for quite a while and i must say you have som very useful information here!

I decided to start my own mini scrog. I have only grown one auto-flowering WW before so the experience is very limited.

I bought some Trainwreck and Blue Cheese seeds and started them in paper and only one of them lived. The "problem" is that i forgot to label the seeds. (noob mistake i know) I have no clue which one it was that survived.

Anyhow Im using a 90w Led ufo that i got from a guy, and 2 15w 2700k cfls for some support light. And im using soil as growing medium.Its been 27 days since i flipped to 12/12 on the pics below (today its been 32 days but i dont have my camera here). They are beginning to firm up really good but theres no real bud growth at the moment. Ive heard that it can take a couple of weeks for the plant to start really flowering so maybe im just overly nervous since its my first real grow.

What do you guys think?

Yea i think i need some more light to but im pretty broke right now so ill have to work with what i have.

I took some pictures today and it looks better. I actually think i stressed her out to much at 20 days in flower when i cut 2 bud sites that was to far beneath the canopy and didn't get any light. I put them in a bubbler and am trying to re-veg them. They are sprouting roots so im hoping for the best.

Anyways here are some better pics from today.

steal some cfls from bathroom at the library or gas station, your wife's parents house, whatever it takes, and augment those existing lights. And I believe I'm seeing another cal-mag issue. If you got no cash for Calmag, crush up some tums or rollaids,for the cal and some Epsom salts, for the mag and treat those issues. What ever it takes Bro. a Cal deficiency will stunt your plant.

Yea i will see what i can find hehe.

After alot of reading i think i may have to much nitrogen locking out the calcium. I will flush her tomorrow. Will that help with the deficiency? or should i add some Calmag and see first?

you sure nobody is peeking during the 12hour dark cycle? I see this lots in grows that interupt the dark cycle. yes just a minute here and there can reverse your budding. If not, 90w LED and 30w CFL should be enough to bud a plant nicely mabe two not so nicely but you would see buds after 31 days of 12 hours of solid darkeness.

Too much Nitrogen will be easy to spot, as it will burn the shit out of your leafs. Too low of a ph will lock out cal and mag
