ps: what happens when I need to cool the rooms in the winter and the compressor is outside?

They still work fine but if it gets real cold they can ice the compressor up. No biggie they have an auto defrost on em. Might be worth asking the questions to the agent though as they do build em for cold climates aswell i believe! Not really something i have to worry about though!

on paper stretch is predetermined by genetics not how long you veg the plant but in my experience light intensity,room conditions and now lighting schedules play a big part in it too. If I remember right your girl is outside so I would say you will probably get lots of stretch.the first hgk I grew was outside and it stretched over 3 times its size. but suprisingly enough in my current grow the pk and the hgk are neck and neck right now and this pk is a pure indica.I ll be posting picks in a bit so you will see what I mean.If scrogging is your style of growing a good rule to follow is to train your girl to have many tops and keep them under the screen as long as you can until your satisfied with the size of the plant.I know that my girls need 90 tops to fill my screen so I just kept lst'ing until I had as many tops as I could and then started several rounds of topping to get the desired amout of tops.once you have that its just a matter of letting the shoots grow up through the screen a few inches and then train each shoot out to the next square and repeat this until your screen is between 70 and 80% full before flipping the lights and use the stretch to fill the rest of the squares.once you get a few grows with the same strain it gets easier to know when to flip. but if your scrogging outside...well if I was scrogging outside I would'nt add the screen until mid august,then you could set it at the right height so all the main branches are right at screen level. once the stretch is done I remove any branches that dont make it throught the screen because they will just clog up the screen and promote budrot because theres no air movement.dont be shy with this bro it will not affect your yield at all if anything it will give you a better yield because the plant will redirect all the energy it was using for those lower spindly branches up to the main branches.sorry for rambling I hope this helps bro:)

aight, well thanks for the reply for starters. okie my screen was about 75% done before i decided to cover her up to induce flower. as the spot im currently in i only get light from 8.30-2pm and the i give a few extra hours with a 150w fluro. i will be putting my 400w hps in there after week four or so. the main reason i flipped is becasue she was growing way too much she is pretty big ( biggest ive ever done) i had already started cleaning lower branches and leaf matter during veg bit by bit im not the biggest fan of clipping in flower. i have on estimation 70-100 tops and its week 2 of 12/12. i deff didnt do enough topping but because she she has been there so long that didnt matter. just didnt want to train her under more and then she stopped stretch and some nodes were still bent under. but i know what you mean now, let your nodes grow a few inches above then retrain them so when you pull to your new hole they are still around an inch above the screen. i get it now makes perfect sense. sorry for typos im so tired had to go out at 3am this morning due to unexpected psychotic wind pull my girl in under cover and spend half an hour tarping up my scrog tying her down ext sigh... im just getting to your updates now everything is looking good, i like the formation of the hgk now. its really looking like a good scrog strain espec when i let her veg out for over 2 months. great work jon!

Man, watching other peoples scrog's develop is almost as fun as developing ones own..
I can't wait to see what mine has in store for me when I get home in a few days..
Hopefully a nice Christmas present, of shoots not too high through the screens.
+ one on the mosquito dunks like Buck said..
They really do work.
Merry Christmas to ya, hope you and yours are having a good one..
cheers.

oh and thanks for the rep brother man.
