I dont allow anyone or any picture taking device in my back room with the 3 other cabs. As far as my friends know, i only have 1 cab in my living room and a veg closet lol. 2 cabs in the room are in full flower along with the cab in my living room. the other cab in the back room has been vegging since march. Im thinking of building a few more cabs. I started with only 1 and working my way up to 5-6 lol. The photo below is the only one i have posted i think. 3 Blue dream sativa doms,flower week 1. I have been for over a decade a full time DC electrical installer and part time DC engineer. I love fabricating my own can bus/most bus/data bus chipsets, fabricate with wood & fiberglass ect..all my speakers counters tv stands ect all built by me lol so you could see how i go cab frenzy when i get excited

Today will be they day she comes down. I can't freakin wait. Gonna chop an trim her when I get off work. She's been in total darkness for about 29 hours so far. I have 6 more hours till I'm off so I'll hit the 36 hours of darkness mark an hour after I get off. I'll post wet weight after I'm done then after she's done currying I'll post dry weight. In the mean time im'a build a pot to fit the bottom of the PC an make it about 4-5in tall that way next run there will be more room for the roots which will hopefully mean bigger harvest next time.

HARVEST DAY64
Harvest time is fianlly here. I only ended up with 68g wet so I'll prob end up with around 15g or so dry which was my goal so I guess not to bad. Was hoping for more but it'll do. Was a pain in the ass to trim those lil buds. Have a shit load of sugar leaves for some hash so that's nice. I'll have another one up in running in the next couple weeks. Thanks for checking it out everyone. It's been a fun grow. Can't wait to smoke her. Will let u know how she smokes when I'm able to.

Think you could increase it by filling out the screen a bit more heavily before flower?

Thanks bro!
Well defiantly gonna try. The left side of this grow was great it was the right side that didn't do so good. So next time I'll put more attention to getting them lil shots at the bottom of the plant longer before I flip them. I flipped this one a lil early so next one will be veg'd a week or two more an hopefully that will fill in the whole screen. Might look for a different screen or try to rig this one up a lil better. There's a few things I'm gonna do different like custom build a pot to fit the bottom about 4-5" up, carbon filter. An ventilation. If u guys have any suggestions on things I could do different I'm all ears. Could use some different options.

Not sure if you kept using the 6500k bulbs but that color temperature is pretty heavily blue shifted, in general people consider deeply red shifted far better for flowering. I'm not sure how much color temperature adds to bud bulk but it's never wise to go against the established paradigms unless you know something everyone else doesn't.
TL: DR- Switch the 6500k bulbs for 2700-3000K bulbs during flower, assuming you didn't do that last grow.
Topping might also help to even up the plant, you said your one side, presumably the side you sent the main stem to was more prominent than the other, but if you top the plant you will have an easier time keeping things symmetrical. Although I'm not sure if topping is against scrog protocol...

Finally! If i were you, just chill on the bud samples lol, She looks to be a good smoke. Dry & cure = potency and taste. If you did try a sample bud, and it knocks you on you're ass then just imagine it cured
. What will you be growing next? For some reason this entire thread was entertaining for me, looking forward to see you're next grow. Id like to see double the height and width with an hps/cfl (6500k)combo

Topping too much will totally jack up scrog grows lol, especially mine. Too much cola's in one area

Yea I use 6500k bulbs for veg then switch to 2700k bulbs for flowering. And I used a clone last time that already had 2 main stems with a couple shoots too so I didn't top at all but I'll prob top this one a week or so before the flip to help with the main stem from stretching up so much. My biggest cola was 12g wet an it was the one all the way to the left. It was about 2inches away from the bulb when I flipped it so it got plenty of light. The other main stem on the right was almost at the light when flipped so it grew above the light which caused it to be a lil airy so that's why I'm thinking of toppin it if I need to before the flip on the next one.

Well idk about the width but if I'm able to put the screen lower it will give me a few more inches in height which will be really nice. An I really doubt I'll be able to put a hps bulb in this tiny lil PC case so I'll stick with the cfl's for now. An I actually held off an sampling any buds I'm going to wait till there cured to try it. I still have some bud left over from my last grow that I'm smokin on so no rush but I can't wait to try it.

I'll prob be growing the same strain. I already have clones ready for it so mise well. An I really like this strain. It's really easy to grow. And I'm glad u liked this thread. I'll prob keep this one going instead of making a new one for the next grow.

Flat white walls should jump the yield. Also, in veg if you would like the tops to even out better you can throw 6500ks over the top and 2700's over the shorter branches to promote stretch. Also careful not to top/fim too much, my scrog is useless in one spot because there is 6 bud sites fighting for the same square lol, i kept tucking during flower till stretch slowed and thats what happened(she grew 4 tops instead of 2) and topped which grew 2 more tops from the same spot trying to poke through the same hole lmao.

I'm debating if I wanna keep using this PC or build a bigger box. The PC is cool an all but the harvest is way to little for the time,$ an effort put into it. I'm thinking of building a box that is about 1.5x1.5x2-3ft. That way I have more heighth an width to work with. Doing strictly scrog grows in it. It would be all cfl's or maybe even a 250w hps if I make it 3ft tall to compensate with the heat. I could easily get 1-2oz with a scrog in those dimensions. Idk yet tho my PC is already put together just need the bigger pot. I need to decide soon so I can get another one up an running. What do u think?

A 250hps would be overkill, 150hps or led are viable alternatives. If you can get away with it then go for a bigger cab, wood is cheap and so are screws...that might be a prono title. Anyways, go as big as your stealth/needs/budget allows IMO.

A 250hps alone in 1.5x1.5 will give you over 2 ounces if not double, depending on how many tops you can bring up. 1.5x1.5x3 sounds like a nice size to pull 4-6 ounces. If you can pull in 70f air it will never go above 80f with a 250 unless you cant exchange the air quick enough. Hell i pull 70f air with my 1000's and end up with a max of 82f sealed hood ofcourse. The trick is to shade the thermometer so you get an actual ambient reading. I will be honest about one thing, the low power pc fans gotta go if you want to use HPS. Look for 12v 4a 120mm delta fans on amazon. You only need 1 for about 40cf+250w lighting, maybe a dual setup with a carbon filter.
