Wow. It has been entirely too long since the last update. So here we are. The plant is dead.... In a good way of coarse. The thing took a few hours to trim, id say about 4. It was a tedius trim considering the amount of leafy, just okay bud, i ignored a lot of small not even popcorn bud. In the end the large colas were large, and thats the idea of a scrog. I could have used a bit more room above the canopy to capitalize on all the sites i had. I could have also used less canopy like some had suggested. But like i said, i feel its important to do things one way consistently, then apply the gained knowledge after.

Things i learned:

A better understanding of when to flower a scrog
a better understanding of what to trim
a good idea of what a small led can do
etc

ok now the final parts you all are waiting for... YIELD!

Well i just dont have it yet. The plants are cut and drying, so it will be about 4-5 days before i can even get a rough estimate. If i had to guess, i would say 3z, possibly less, possibly more. I definitely have about a zip in good shake, and another in cottonball buds that i just tore off and jarred for cooking/other. Of actual desirable bud. Im guessing 3 even, some of you had the same guesses.

Here is another long overdue update.... PICS.

These are the final pics just hours before harvest after about 3 days in the dark. the final pics are of the harvested plant, but its hard to see the size and extent of all the bud. There really was more than i was thinking towards the end.

As you can see, they also dried out a little before i chopped. This was not on purpose, but is not really a huge mistake either. Too close to the end.

Below are some harvested pics

Ah forgot to say. Its hard to see, but personally this is the most resin packed/ stickiest plant i have delt with in a long time. I have heard this is common with LEDs, only a smoke test will tell what the difference amounts to.

I will try to get some nice macro budshots soon.

What's your ventilation like in this cab? I am inspired as usual. I'd imagine that LED puts out very little heat, do you even have ventilation? I am thinking of a LED + no ventilation and CO2 boost cab but not sure if it's the right way to go.

great thread and grow...wish i was ere sooner...nice fat buds...rep...
Thanks, I will link here for the next grow. It's an experimental grow, should be fun.

I do have ventilation. Before i added co2 i was running two pc fans. One at the bottom pulling air in, supplementing the passive intakes, and one fan at the top sucking air out. Once i added co2 I closed the bottom vents and had both fans up top to ideally just pull out the hot air and leave most co2 on the bottom.
AWESOME! can't wait to get my progrow 180 in and see what I can do with scroggin a bigger plant ;)
Yeah I really like the led mini scrog, it's a great fun to grow. I would err on the side of trimming too much if i were to do this setup again. I was a bit disappointed with the amount of subpar bud. A staged harvest could have helped, but i don't have luck with those.
