Micro V scrog

Decided to try adding a little 26w uv cfl. Not sure what to expect but I do notice the OGs like the mh a lot better than hps, maybe thats why, who knows. I got it rigged up right underneath the hps lamp on the light rail. I'll try it for a bit and see if I notice any overall improvements. This is my 3rd run with them so I should be able to see any differences.

The CFL will not make a difference at that distance. The OG's have and will always be a stretcher so the scroging method is the best method, I believe your method will do just fine. Keep an eye on the eagle clawing up top. If it gets worse then you will need to look into it. They look great. I am interested in seeing how they finish with yeild and quality.

@ inhaleindica

I've had this leaf curl on all 3 of my OG grows now. Tried cutting back nitrogen, less nutes, more cal/mag, adjusting ph, just can't figure it out. It always starts when I switch to hps. I think this OG is just a fickle strain. I think the yield will be good on them but I'm concerned about the quality.

BTW the manufacturer of the UV bulb states that it is effective up to 20", they're referring to lizards of course though lol.

I agree that OGs are picky plants. I used to have a Tahoe OG which was pain in the ass to grow but the quality is what made me keep it until a friend threw it out (ahhh). I wouldn't cut back on the Nitrogen as OGs are Nitrogen and Calmag hogs. Just reduce the ppm amount a little. I have had several plants with eagle clawing the first 2 weeks of flower. There is a possibility that the light change could be the factor. I start my plants under T5s then in flower HPS maybe the light penetration is overwhelming?

UV on reptiles and plants are totally different lol. I used to collect exotic and rare reptiles, been wanting to get back into it soon.
 
hello, I have a novice question about scrog, do you rotate the screen so that both sides of the plant get light??, I don't think so but I am not entirely sure. also if I were to scrog with a 1000watt, how close to the plants do I want it when the screen starts to fill in?

Ran out of nutes so I decided to try something new, got the house & garden ab, bud xl, and top booster. I'll probably still veg with gh flora.

Also topped all the veg plants...

Made clones...

The White Widow and Sour Kush P1 are by far the strongest in veg...

Next is the Sour Kush P2's (x3)

And in last place is the OG x God Bud. Its the only one in a 6" netpot (because I had run out of the 3.5") which I believe is holding too much moisture and stunting its growth.

My goal I guess would be to get about 2 oz per plant of quality bud so 8 altogether, any more would be a bonus.

However, if I had to guess on this round I'd say 2 oz per OG and only 1 per God Bud, so 6 total. Not very much but that God Bud is some dank smoke.

Then again who knows, this is my first round with a 400w.
 
Hey, quick question, how did you go about the construction of the walls? Your system looks awesome and I would love to emulate it in my own manner. Specifically where did you get that trellis material?

@ onephate,

The walls were all framed and then covered with drywall, just like any other room in a house. Then I stapled the reflectix to the drywall, then the same with the trellis. All materials used were bought at home depot, the trellis is in the fencing section.

In the last pic the left side is veg, the right is flower.

Can't believe its almost 7 weeks already. Just finished my 3-4 days of top booster. Looks like they won't be ready for 2-3 weeks.

Starting to get some swellage now, they seem to be a bit behind though. Must be the light mover. The buds are more evenly developed from top to bottom so I guess its a trade off.

After 9 weeks I chopped the OGs today. Yield looks ok about 6 oz so not bad. Could've used another week but they were startin to hermie so I gave them the axe (no more bagseed for this farmer).
