Voodoo's 600W Top Fed Rdwc SCROG Random Strain

[SWvoodoo]

Then again, looking at the pics from 5 days ago it has filled out quite a bit! Probably end up like a wicker basket under there by the end with the branches all criss crossing!

with a scrog screen you are looking for a uniform canopy where each tip gets the same amount of light, the centre under the light will stretch more though. i would keep tucking and pulling the tips up if you are able to until you see pistils.

 

[SWvoodoo]

Cheers KJC, I will continue tucking then there is still room yet! I'm really happy with the progress up till now . Can't wait to start seeing some budz! I guess the 2 week mark after stretch is when they will start to show?

I feel ya Voodoo, I'm playing the waiting game also.

 

[KingJohnC]

how long your plants take to develop pistils is strain and maturity dependent. it is when your plants develop pistils they will start to stretch.

 

[SWvoodoo]

OH... ok so that could be why Im not seeing much of the supposed stretch yet then... This strain did show earlier than other strains I had in, which is why I chose it but that was outdoors. oh well the more the merrier. I might be re-checking my tent for light leaks just to be sure. I better be seeing some hairs soon then

 

[SWvoodoo]

I'm pretty sure I have some really tiny very very fine hairs started. Don't even know if I could get a photo yet.

I kind of forgot about the last clone left in the bubbler and this is what I found today when doing my new set up.

Not too bad for 12 day after finding roots. Sorry that is a bad photo.

I have decided with having only a "few weeks" until harvest I will try to have a few small plants ready to bloom straight away. So I took 15 cuttings from my mother plant (same strain). Obviously using the same method of bubble cloning again, 5.5L of straight tap water chlorine and all. My water is about 300 ppm 7.0 ph ,double outlet pump only back ground cfl lighting at the moment.
I plan on vegging them under 48w cfls then flower under my 600 hps. Im just trying to work out the best way of having 15 plants in 1.2x1.2m.

Here is Bubbler.2 Still a little ghetto but it worked last time and this one only has to work once.

 

[SWvoodoo]

Pistils!

The canopy

Not quite full but all things considered im pretty happy.

Happy Skunkday SW
I keep training them through the stretch.
it looks as its about to start for you so try and keep everything even and try to resist any defol if possible unless its under the wire.
BTW Very Nice Grow Too

 

[SWvoodoo]

Its strange tonight is the first night it hasn't needed any training. The internodes are shortening right up on the tips. It is hard to resist defol, but Ive taken most of the really low tips out already. Hopefully they do stretch out some more.

 

[SWvoodoo]

Hmm I don't think these girls know what they are doing hardly anything yesterday and pow! a heap of growth today and very hairy.
ec is stable at 2.8 and ph is very slowly rising, they are drinking well.
The leading tips are thick with new growth. One of the tips I fimed has about five tips started. Definitely in the full swing of flower now though.
Bubbler.2 had a couple of leak issues that have been amended with the slightly more compact 4L bubbler.3

 

[SWvoodoo]

Some happy snaps.

 

[Green Knight]

Looking good voodoo. Now they've started to flower they'll really take off mate; next 2-3 weeks they're going to shoot up nicely

 

[fish cake]

Real Nice SW
Happy Weednesday

 

[SWvoodoo]

Cheers Gk and happy weednesday fishy! Things are getting thick fast. what do you think a week or so of training left or let it go now? its hard to be delicate while tucking the newly forming bud sites and it starting to get messy under there, Im losing track of which ones crissing and which ones crossing.

 

[Green Knight]

I stop tucking once the first pistils show and let her go up from there. Once she's in flower I try and leave her to do her thing until stretch has finished and then I'll defoliate.
Clearing out underneath the screen isn't a bad idea if you haven't done it already - the weak growth underneath isn't going to do anything and can limit airflow; everything worthwhile will shoot up and form buds above the screen, everything below will just suck energy and be crap!

 

[SWvoodoo]

Ok GK you've confirmed what I thought. it had its last under screen pluck tonight nothing but sticks up to about an inch or two under the screen. Now to do more of that horrible waiting I guess.

 

[stealthgrow]

Very nice Voodoo, I'm excited for you to see some buds developing on those plants.
