Sweet looking grows man, I really like your setup. Where did you purchase that white screen you used for the parabolic scrog? It looks like it is a lot easier to use than the poultry netting that I have now. If you got a chance let me know... I'm pulling up a chair for this journal dude
Welcome aboard Tom! My wife got them for me. But I think you can get them at walmart. They would be assembled into a sort of cabinet thing but they are easy to bend into shape and they hold form well. The squares are 1.5"x1.5"... about. and each is 14"x14" square. I have almost 4 square feet of screen.

Thanks! This is looking to be the best grow in the cabinets yet. I am excited to see it explode. These strains all run about 8.5 weeks, the misty runs for 7.5. This is the most bud sites Ive seen running this setup.

Here are some shots of the stems of my plants. The first several are of the 3 under the dished screen and the others are under the flouro flat screen. The ones under the flat screen are in 2gl trashcans and the ones under the hps are in 6gl.
BTW, the clones were taken in flower, they do the crazy branching thing like this when you take clones that are budding. and revert them back to veg. Its a really good strategy to get crazy tops.

CLONING in FLOWER.... a how-to
I like to clone in flower since it creates some crazy branching. The lower branches are best but tops will clone. But why take away a top??? I wait till two or three weeks into flower to take my clones... sometimes earlier depending on my schedule... Im on no regime or time line to get things done, which makes it all more enjoyable for me... so heres what I do:
I first get my stuff together:
Rooting powder
Razor
rockwool soaked in solution of hygrozyme, grow big and superthrive
bed of perlite in flat hempy soaked in same solution:
I make a small hole in the rockwool for my clone's stem with a paperclip... sometimes I wiggle it to make it bigger. Then I get my cuttings from the lower section of the plant. I shave the stem and roll it in powder and stick the clone in the rockwool. Voila! CLONED... LOL
Then I nesstle them into the bed of perlite/hempy bucket and cover them for humidity. Then I wait till new growth starts and I screw the lights in above them to help them grow. Clones dont need much light to start with.
Its that simple

I feel in my groove with all these 3 strains so in 12/12 I just kinda feel on auto-pilot. Thanks for the Props!
You wouldn't believe it, but at one point I was really frustrated with the cabinets and wanted to quit. I just couldn't get it to produce and I had some bunk genetics. The closet I had setup before was SOOOOO roomy in comparison. My girl convinced me to be patient and keep at it, so much props to her for supporting my hobby.
I owe a lot to internet research and the people who have cataloged their grows and experiences. I will say that for my purposes SCROG is probably the best thing since sliced bread.

I should give credit where it is due. This thread helped me a bunch and is obviously a big source of inspiration for my setup. Takes time but its worth looking at all of his pics.

I looked through at this one too:

Personally, cabinet growing is hard. I wish I had a whole room to mess around with, but I don't/probably never will. These guys above made it look easy.

SomeGuy,
What is up, just read the whole thing here, and have to say.....WOW!
I couldn't believe reading this thing because I also have two phenos of PPP, from nirvana, going. And have done the re-veg on clones from flowering plants. It is crazy how they branch off!
Awesome grow man, i'm here to watch!
+rep!!
edit: It wouldn't let me give you rep......have i given you rep before?

Hey lilmafia! Glad to have you on board with me. My two phenos are drastically different BTW. One is kinda medium density but the crystal content and taste make up for it... plus the plant is a good yielder. The other one is tighter buds, less visable crystal content and not as sweet of a taste. I did not clone the 2nd pheno this time, so it is on its last round. I also have the bagseed bush going in the veg chamber just for a change of pace. when it comes to bud variety is the spice of life.

True, my one ppp had crazy looking buds.
They are a page or two back in my last grow journal...#1.
Good luck on this journal man, it does get hard to keep updated on this thing.

Thanks man. Good lookin grows. I LOVE hempy. I use all perlite but I think its pretty much the same. SOOOO easy.
I will need the interest to keep me posting updates, so I appreciate you pulling up a chair. This time around is gonna be pretty good I think
. BTW! That bag seed bush is going to be huge by the time I flower it. Its not scheduled for 12/12 till mid august.
MMMM These beers and bags go good together. Maybe Ill take some early teaser pics while I feed tonight.

UPDATE!!! I know what I need to keep ya all interested! PICS!!!
I flushed yesterday, feeding tonight. This is the Flouro flat scrog. Looking pretty damn good if you ask me. All of the girls got big haircuts under the screen. I have to do this with the canopy so dense. If I didnt I would leave my scrog open to mold and other issues. Air MUST be able to travel through the screen. Air movement is critical in a Scrog grow.

Thanks mang. Appreciate the Kudos. This will be my best round yet. I am finally getting this small space growing down. I want 6oz minimum from the hps scrog and 4 from the flouro flat scrog. Think I can make it?
