Herrer's Blueberry Coco Scrog

[Herrer Hashassin]

Hi this will be my 1st attempt at a scrog.
I'm still a noob as far as growing goes.
Please feel free to comment I need as much help as possible thanks
Grow:indoor, 2x blueberry dutch passion scrog.
Environment:1.5x1.5x2m grow tent.
Medium:coco and clay pellets
Lightning:1x600w hid 2x 80w cob led grow lights
Nutrients: mycroroot and local hydro nutrients + calmag supplement.i will be getting a coco based nutrient formula by the end of the month.
Plan:germinated seedling using cotton and transplanted directly into my autopots hand feeding ph'ed water until mature enough for nutrients,made the mistake and gave nutrients too soon and got a nutrient burn on both plants, I flushed and am hoping for the best now.live and learn.

You are up and running! And looking good. You came to the right place. Have you seen the blueberry group grow? They are off to some super blue growing.

The nut burn but after the flush they look happier...
Going to connect up the extraction fan control to a thermostat, note I live in sa during the day it gets very hot and hot air can hold more moister so I will be connecting a hydrometer in parallel and I need 2x 24hr timers 1 for lights and 1x for fresh air.just found out my e.c meter is broken so I need to invest in another one along side a ph pen, been using the liquid ph test kit it's a messy affair.

Ye it's so great to be able to grow without fear I need to learn how to grow outdoor and possibly greenhouse I worry about the sewer weeds pollinating my plants lol.....
How high would u make your scrog screen from the pots??? I was thinking about 20 cm,so about 8 inches?

I train them as in top at five nodes or so, then train to geep a flat top until they reach out to 10 gal pot. Then I put the scrog on and keep them along it. Probably more like 16 inches 40cm from the soil. enough room to water and get my hands in to do things like defoliate. Thats me. Others have similar and different ways.

Week2: half strength nutes phed water around 6 and started LST... not sure if I should get the coco ehg nutrients or just add cal mag to my current nutrient mix...

 

[Herrer Hashassin]

half strength nutes some mycrohezial and root hormone.
Still hand feeding will start the autopots after I top.

Some more progress

Turned off the LEDs just running the 600w HID. Might try just LEDs for abit to see how it goes in veg dont want to waste electricity.

So I'm not sure of how bad this is but I found red spider mites on my outdoor moon flowers, gonna take prevention action on my indoor plants just incase they find a way inside and up a flight of stairs and in a tent lol...will destroy them outside aswell...my house has a ton of pest issues from termites to ants plus more, if anyone is wondering my I dont grow greenhouse in my country..... can anyone give me some remedies for the spidermites home brew if possible... oh and can anyone tell me if it's a waste of time running my entire light set up at this point or could I just run 160w actual led draw lights till they get larger...

 

[Herrer Hashassin]

Also forgot to mention my 2nd plant has some weird but awesome mutations on it tried to get a pic but they still to lill to get a good pic...its like it fimmed itself somehow cuz I have 3 sets of leaves instead of 2

Hi HH, these are looking great! I got lost there and got caught up. I wish I knew about mites, have you figured that out?

hay, yes im getting neem oil to spray on the plants outside to kill them off... im lucky so far that they have not gotten inside but the neem oil should prevent any mites getting up there and if they do i will spray on them just incase and to prevent any other infestations hope all is well on your side

That's good. The neem gets used a lot. Good stuff. Preventative maintenance is a good idea. Things are well here thanks, right back at you!
