Hey guys gonna post up some notes here, would love some feedback. particularly on implementing ScroG and the associated trimming.

Chamber: 2x4x8 closet lined with emergency blankets
Genetics: From cuttings, 2 hashberry, 1 sour diesel, 1 strawberry cough
Lighting: 2 125w 6500k farmtek cfls, 2 42w 2700k cfls, 5 75w fluro tubes (3 red spectrum 2 blue spectrum)
Medium: Fox farms ocean, vermiculite, perlite, rocks on bottom for drainage. 4:1:1 ratio
Nutrients: Grow & Stabilizer formulas from local hydro shop
Temperature: 70's at night, upto 86 when really hot out.
Humidity: 30% to 50% normally

These clones are about 7 weeks old at this point, and were recently transplanted. After transplant I flushed and fed distilled water for 3 feedings. Have been fed twice with nutrients. After flushing and transplant significant growth occurred.

I have an intake fan pulling cool air in from the basement through the floor and wall with two 250 cfms. I cannot exhaust out the ceiling into the attic so I recently bought a door at lowes for $20, only had to cut an inch off the bottom. I plan to hack up the door and exhaust hot air out the top with a fan. Currently I leave the door cracked during the day to keep temps down, but I want to be able to leave it closed and not worry about light leak. Hence the door!


I've implemented a ScroG that is hanging from my light hood (plywood covered in mylar with lights mounted) but am yet to attach the plants to it.

I'm planning to veg for another week or so before switching over and tying everything down. I wanted to get some advice on how low to bring the screen down on the stalks, how much lower stalk trimming I should do and if I should top, fim or trim any of the large fan leaves?

When i trim I plan to take some cuts, so I will be spending the rest of today creating a veg chamber for clones.

Sorry for not posting pics directly in here, but I haven't completely figured it out yet. heres a link. Note: The pics are in chronological order (oldest first)

Goodluck with the grow man. A couple of your plants look a little sick, it seems that parts of the leaves are dead. Make sure you check into that. The ScrOG looks very good. Hopefully it all works out for you man.

Cool set up biglen.I dont have any scrog experience but it looks like your set up right Two weeks after 12-12 you should have bud sites everywhere.Good luck with it and I will be watching

You have a nice set up goin', but some of those leaves are lookin' kinda bad. I see that you didn't make any mention of your ph. Where do you usually keep it at? Here is a link to a thread that will help you diagnose any issues you might have with your girls.

No point in mentioning these bats I thought, poor bastard will see them soon enough.

the pics of the dying leaves were old ones from just after the transplant. Currently all growth looks healthy. pH tester says between 6-7 on soil. thanks guys. heres some pics from yesterday







Build a crude clone/veg chamber today for the tube fluoros, should suffice. Not quite done either. Heres some pics. Basically a moving box reinforced with wood and mounted with light rack with more emergency sleeping bag tacked to sides.

Nice set up Len. Good luck with your grow. The new clone/veg box will do fine too. Keep us posted on the progress.

hey thanks everyone for all the overwhelming support. am i hearing that I should wait for flowering before tying down to the scrog?

Hey Len - Do you know if all of your plants are female? It will be more difficult to remove the males if they are woven in with the females in the Scrog.

they are all female clones

I would start weaving the plants in and out of the Scrog as soon as the plants are poking through enough to do so.. You are going to like the Scrog... it is a little more work, but nice yields and buds!

here's a link to one of FreezerBoy's threads over at ICMag.com. He is a gifted
grower and an entertaining and informative writer as well.

although he grows hydro inside an old freezer, i mention him and point you
in his direction because he runs an awesome little SCROG.

here also are a few pics of his work to tease you, lol.

Shots of the canopy



i broke branch lsting, hopefully it will be ok


I have tied down the main stalks and really expanded everything in preparation for the scrog. still anticipating a good amount of stretch. in flowering day three. need to change lights up soon more 2700k. any advice on inexpensive 400w aircooled hps systems? thanks yall

Good work Len I was wondering how it was going for you since your last update. You would love a 400w hps added to this grow. Can you say Ka BOOM there goes those plants now. LOL

Check it out depending on where you are there are some gr8t deals out there. Good luck and keep us posted.

well i bought a vanity 6 bay light bar today on clearance for 5.00, as well as a bunch of splitters and 12 cfls, six 23w & 6 13w. I removed my two 125w 6500k cfls and installed the light bar. pics to come. I figured this can serve as an inexpensive solution until I can get a hold of a hps. Spend about 35 today
