Taken today, this is my first effort @ a scrog. I’ve already done all kinds of things wrong. Was growing these 5 plants (3 Critical Orange Punch, 2 Blue Steel & a Blue Hulk) to be mothers, topped a few times, then decided to flower them instead. They were already fairly tall, & obviously of differing strains. Few plants, when I think SCROG is most often done with a number of plants? Ran out of what I think are 30 gallon fabric pots & put the Blue Hulk in something half that size.
I will further tighten down the net soon as I get some more uber-cable ties. Soon. I ignored them for a week or more, & they’re a bit irritated with me. Running a new Ushio Blue / Daylight bulb, currently @ 750w.Trimmed undergrowth pretty hard yesterday. Today some kelp foliar & added box fan for under the frame. They’ll be ready for a feeding in 1-2 days, & if they start to perk up, I’ll increase light to 1000w. I plan to flip & change bulbs in 7-10 days, depending on how the screen looks. I’ve seen some guidance on this platform, suggesting that a new scrog grower should force early; that otherwise, the bushiness can be challenging. CO2 is @ 1200, with a 250 deadband. Distance between pot & frame is about 14”. I was reluctant to shorten this because the plants had not been trained to a screen, but were still fairly flexible. GH nutes. Day time is 77-80F @ 50-57RH.
