Questions on my grow - Advice needed

Baked4200 · Feb 21, 2015

Hello everyone,
This is my 4th grow and just want some opinions for the first time on when I should start flowering and if you think I should change anything with my setup. I plan on flowering in a week or two.

Goal:
Maximum Yield
Maximum Smell/Taste/Properly Cured

Strains:
Island Sweet Skunk
Girl Scout Cookies
Sweet Cheese
Sugar black rose (auto flowering already)

Stats:
2x 600 watt Air cooled MH/HPS lamps
Temp - 85
Humidity - 50
Nuts - Lucas Formula (General Hydroponics)
PH - 5.8 (I have a PH meter and correct PH everyday)
5 Gallon Buckets
Overkill of an air pump. (Commercial grade)

Training:
Scrog net (as you can see)
Topped (at 2 weeks old)
HST (formed 3-4 knuckles on every branch)

Questions:
With my current setup, when should I flower? Do I have adequate room to wait for a few weeks or start now?
Is there anything you would be doing differently?

Note:
Sorry for the horrible blurry pictures.

Terry385 · Feb 22, 2015

Every thing looks good i veg. a little longer to fill net more

axosport · Feb 22, 2015

let them veg longer, id say 3 plus weeks

Baked4200 · Feb 22, 2015

Sounds good to me, i'll let the girls veg 3 more weeks at least and update the thread with pics.

How much bud about do you think these will produce? Keep in mind my growing techniques.

Diabolical666 · Feb 22, 2015

about a pound

Ive never done a SCROG, but yours looks good IMO. I might start one next grow..

What materials did you use? just PVC and thread?

AK Grower · Feb 22, 2015

Keep training them under the screen until they are all touching. In the mean time continue to feed for root structure development. The bigger the root system the bigger the buds.

Used 2 inch PVC piping and thread. Screws every 2 inches as well to make 2 inch squares.

Will do, thanks for the tip. I'll be uploading more clear pictures to this thread soon. I just defoliated the girls, allowing much more light to hit the bottom growth.

Just took much better photos of the girls after defoliation. You can see that sweet cheese needed it the most. The lower growth on her is not as superior as the rest of them.

I agree with about a pound and love that attitude too ahaha.
Who doesn't want at least a pound of ganja from their grow :weed:

Using a scrog net + LST + Lucas Formula + Root Formula + Bud Candy = ez pound :bigjoint:

old shol4evr · Feb 22, 2015

you could grow in a shot glass and that girl tell you a pound love her

NorthernHize · Feb 22, 2015

Yea, that's what I thought. The wait is killing me :wall:

but good things take time.

I'll be vegging for about 3 more weeks. I'll upload photos then.
============================================
Question:
Does anyone recommend I do anything else/change what i'm doing to achieve maximum yield?

Thanks for the advice, the majority said at least 3 more weeks, so 3 more weeks shale it be.
