My plan is now to take clones on Sunday, 2 cutting from each plant, and flip the switch on Monday.

Can somebody please post a pic of the following:
What i scrog looks like in the early stages
What a scrog looks like filling up
A pic of how long the heads grow before you pull them down for training.
And how a properly done scrog looks like when flipping to 12/12

I know somebody will have these pics to hand from their own grow so would love to see them to make sure im on the right track! :)

Peace

Looking good. I'm doing my first Scrog as well. I have heard many people dissing the chicken wire. Holes are too small.
Should be like 2.5 x 2.5
inch holes. But I'm sure you'll be fine. Sit the screen about 10-12 inches above the pots, as the plants grows into the net, grab a branch and pull it to the farthest point and stick it up thru the hole, then as it grows, pull it out and stick it again in the farthest hole. You have to train it, don't just let it grow into the screen and train itself. It wont happen the way you want it to. As you pull the stem back and thru the farthest hole then it will open up for the lower limbs to grow and do the same with them until your screen is approx 3/4 full then flip the lights to 12/12 and start the flowering process. I dont have pics but I hope this helps you some. Keep up the good work!!

Need some expert advice here!
I was planning on flipping to 12/12 tonight, so it will officially start tomorrow.
Space is getting a little tight in there and i reckon with the stretch from 12/12 the rest of the screen should fill out. Well thats the theory anyway.
What do you all reckon?





Really dont know when to flip!
Plants arent topped either!

Peace! :D

From everything I've read about scrog a LOT of it happens in flower anyways 'timing is the most critical part' seems to be what everyone says, do a search for "Someguy Parabolic SCRoG" that thread gave me a shit load of inspiration and is very clear from start to finish about how he did his scrogs, I would definately have a look at it!

I'm gonna start up my journal soon just documenting the build just to give some encouragement to actually keep a journal again!

Stay Frosty!

edit: heres the link save you a few seconds lol

Switching over to 12/12...
[video=youtube;XbxhFNOanxk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbxhFNOanxk[/video]

One of my pumps has failed, need to buy a replacement, will try and wake up early and get one tomorrow....

Things are pushing along greatly, i just cant keep up, and the stretch hasnt begun yet, so cant wait to see how much it stretches.
Will give it 2 more weeks training and then let it grow. Not sure how many heads i will end up with, let alone how many grams i will yeild...guesses? :D

Let the fun begin! :D

Jesus! Lol that end of the week really made a difference huh? Im just getting into the stretchy part with my grow. I decided to flip once I first started bending my skywalker in the waterfarm, only have room for a 2 by 2ft net and scottyballs swears itll fill up no problem. Your scrogs gonna be monstrous!

I was meant to flip this coming Monday but the growth is just explosive, i cant control it! Growing a good inch a day during Veg, and now ive flipped to flower it seems to have doubled in speed, and my water pump has failed! I NEED to wake up early and go and get a replacement. In fact, i will get 2 dual pumps, 1 as a backup! :D
Gunna scope out some woodland near my area for a bit of a urban outdoor guerilla grow, for a bit of fun! :D
I have about 20 seeds that need to be popped, and why not in the outdoors? :D

Just found out my local grow shop has shut down due to being raided too many times hes just given up and started doing private sales. Poor bloke :(
Now, where to source a pump locally sharpish?

None were open so ended up going to a hydro store, but i didnt have much of a choice!

Got me some HALO too which i will apply some in 2 weeks once pistils start showing and stretch is over so those buds get a good head start! :D

Cant wait!

They look good and have really filled the screen out nicely. Are you gonna train them thru the holes or leave them underneath the screen til they force themselves thru? I'd prob train them thru the holes but either way they look nice and will start to explode here soon

Sorry, just saw your question.
I am going to train the whole plant and all connecting nodes underneath the screen for the next week+2days. I let them grow about 1inch above the screen and move over to the next hole.

I am deffinately gunna make the holes bigger next time as it is a right bloody faff training them through the tiny holes!
Im quite lucky i havent snapped any stems, just accidently super cropped them! Some branches on the OGK do 180 degree bends, lol.

+REP to you my friend.
