Hello everybody!! I'm ChiefMaryJane. I've been scrolling through these forums for about the past five years everytime I needed help or came across a question.
A few weeks ago I came across a stealth scrog micro grow cabinet in the forums. This was the first time I had ever seen anything like a scrog grow, and decided to give it a try. This is my first grow, so if anyone has any recommendations I would appreciate them more than you know.
I’ve been researching non stop over the internet for the past 5 weeks on absolutely every aspect of cannabis growth. Some of the methods I’ve been studying are LBH’s, Subcools, and I’ve also read Greg Greens cannabis bible 4th edition. I only have enough room for two plants right now, but if I do it right I know that will be more than enough bud for myself. At the second week of growth, I topped both of my plants, and let them grow for another week while bracing the main branches down so the topped branches could grow. They grew well, so yesterday at day 23, I topped them for the second and last time. I was debating whether I should brace them down again, or allow them to grow towards the screen. Any advice on this issue would be very much appreciated!!!
What strain is it?:
Northern Lights Feminized from Sensi Seeds
Heavy Yield
Short flowering period (45 - 50 days)
90% Indica
Compact plant
Date seed was planted?:
Feb 12, 2015
Number of seeds?:
2 planted, 2 germinated
Germination method?:
A propagation tray w/ peat pellets. seeds sprouted in 2 days.
Type of lighting:
Advanced LED 150W Full spectrum grow light. I also have a heating mat under both pots to warm the soil.
Soil or Hydro?:
Organic soil
Pot/Pot size?:
3 gallon Smart pot, removed top 2.5 inches from pots.
What is the soil medium?:
Fox Farm Ocean Forest, Fox Farm Light Warrior, Schultz Horticultural perlite.
What amendments were added?:
Dr. Earth's fish bone meal, Dr. Earth's Blood meal, Pure organic montmorillinite/bentonite clay dust, worm power organic worm castings, Espoma organic plant tone.
Cabinet Temp?:
76 degrees w/ light on, 69 w/ light off
Cabinet RH?:
55%
Cabinet specs:
The grow space is on the side of my computer desk where the drawers once were. I tore out the drawers, turned it into a wooden box, and installed hinges on the far side of the computer desk so you can open/close it. It is very stealthy, and that is what I was going for. the dimensions of the box are 24" length, 14" width, 28" height.
This is the same picture except the door is slightly open
Door all the way open. I purchased MyLar tape and put it on 3/4 sides of the box. looks good!
This is the view inside the box when standing up. I made the screen out of small oak square boards and dolls(long round wooden sticks). The dolls are tied down with fishing line at every other intersection. It's pretty sturdy, and is wedged into place at 7" above the medium. It was put into place on 3/7. I am thinking about raising it another inch but I think with the indica genetics the plant won't get much taller, it is just branching out. Right now the plant is about 1.5" below the screen. Suggestions?
This picture was taken when the plant was almost 3 weeks old. I attempted to use LBH's scrog method, bracing down the 4 largest branches to allow the topped centers to grow. I've since then taken out the metal braces and am allowing the plant to grow towards the screen. Should I allow the plant more time to grow the shoots expected from topping before letting the branches grow towards the screen? Any advice is appreciated.
3 weeks old. Beautiful isn't she?
This was a attempt at LBH's 4 way method after topping.
