Even the wee ones are starting to thicken up a lil. .

Lovely!

 

[TurboBucket]

Thanks Grandpa

Can't say it any better than Grandpa Tokin!
The "wee ones" or SOG is GREAT to pack them in for use of space and increased yield.
I did this style outdoors. With 2qt square pots.

 

[TurboBucket]

Yea it was going to be empty space which seemed wasteful so I filled it up as efficiently as possible.

Another Dewey convert! Lol

Big Girls got watered this morning.

Played with some cloner designs over the weekend hopefully I'll have a chance to get into a town with parts this week.

 

[Grandpa Tokin]

Your scrog is just perfect in my opinion. Some day I’m going to do it right...like that. Well done.

 

[Pennywise]

Yes that scrog is looking spot on Turbo

 

[TurboBucket]

Thanks guys. Feels like I got lucky with it. I'm happy with the relatively uniform height hopefully the next one will actually be full. But it seems to be doing its job.

 

[Pennywise]

Nice and flat, next one just train a little longer .

 

[TurboBucket]

Next one will be way easier to judge plants will all be there same age with equal amounts of room. This was a Hodge podge to see how the different aged plants responded and how they would fit in the room. The oldest plant is flowering the fastest but the two youngest plants seem to be right behind her with Mama J bringing up the rear (she had some root zone issues before the new room and during transition).

Knowledge gained from it:
I think the chamber will hold 6 plants under a scrog nicely but I want more room to maneuver.
The partial manifold on She-Ra was awesome to spread the canopy but watering it sucks.
Should have defoliated the bottom earlier and closer to the bottom of the screen.

Corrective actions for next run:
6 plants in raddwc, no more watering.
Stretch the seedlings more with taller less intense lights. More lollipoping earlier on to produce a taller stem before making the canopy arms.

If you're going to scrog dont bother with a lot of training. Top once or twice then use some light lst to get the branches heading where you want them. Then just let them go until you put the net over them

 

[Furcifer]

Looking good and taking notes for next run!

That Chinese light....ever thought about doing a COB HACK on it?
Around $70 worth of COBS. Will get you 50% more....better light. At the same wattage. Operating way...way cooler than that thing!
I need to hit up hortishorti also with this.....

 

[TurboBucket]

Yup I have. I'll build a new frame for better distribution before I stuff that full of new parts. I planned on doing a multi cob build initially but I'll be running PFD boards when I upgrade. Unfortunately lights aren't in the budget yet.
I will be going into town today to get parts for the cloners though. .

 

[Furcifer]

I hear you on the funds AVAILIABLE part.
You will love those PFD Boards.
And, those cheap inefficiency lights are salvageable. Using all existing parts....except the light emitting board.

Looking good and taking notes for next run!

Me too. My Scrog is really just a trellis...LOL!
