One man and his bush - 1 plant SCROG in Stealth Cab - Chocolate Berry

Heads Up

Lilindian, I can tell you now I'm looking at around two and a half ounces dry from each plant maybe three each. I'll give you a smoke report in a few days. I can tell you this about the chocolopes, I should have let the branches come up through the screen sooner with this strain. It needs a lot of direct light, anything in the least bit shaded does not thicken up at all and becomes very leafy. I'm running hps's in my room that have an increased blue spectrum in them. No dual spectrum lighting.

The colombian gold was insanely frosty.

Good luck with the rest of your grow, your baby is looking better.

:leaf::idea:That's amazing :clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

Wow...
I never knew you could do this...

Do you think chicken wire would bring similar results?
Yes but it's harder to pull the plants through. I started scrogging with chicken wire in my old journal. New one I made legit screens outta thread. Lots of ways to accomplish the same goal.

Right so she's not the highest yielder in the world then, no problem, yield is never my main concern when picking strains, just a bonus. I hope like hell my plant dusn't have characteristics like yours in terms of needing lots of direct light. The canopy is thickening up quick, trimming the yellow leaf tips has really helped with both light and air penetration. I reckon even in scrogging some pruning can be extremely beneficial.

You running a digi-lux bulb then? I looked into these after buying my 600W Grolux, so maybe next time. I'm also considering running a 250W MH cooltube alongside my 600W HPS, but i'm thinking thats like serious over-kill for the space i've got...

The colombian gold looks like something else man, aint seen bud that frosty in a while now, congrats.

Cheers for the support!

Thanks very much man, i also didn't know this was possible.... until i gave it a go! As i said in week 1 veg, nothing ventured nothing gained. It could all still go mouldy and shit so i'm not counting my chickens just yet.

Chicken wire would work indeed, the only problem is the plant will start bending it and pulling it up and out of shape ect. The thing with K'nex is its super strong and doesn't flex, soft on the branches/leaves and very very customisable. All these things have helped to achieve what i got now. Maybe if you stretch the chicken wire real tight it could work in exactly the same way. Give it a go!

Cheers, ur one of the few ppl on here that have some sort of idea of what i look at every time i open my doors! I've got some wasted space back right of my cab that could have been utilised by more branching but i reckon it would be another 2 weeks at least of veg to fill the space. Plus now its being used to bring fresh air up to canopy level before being blown across it.

Ur not one to read updates eh? Haha. Yeh i definitely want to get some UVB up in there, get a full spec going so i can join ur club! Really wanted to give Mega-ray a go but don't want to go for the 100W internal ballast ones due to the heat they put out. Due to filaments in the bulb they're also more delicate. the 60W external ballast bulbs sound PERFECT, shit-load of UVB and little to no heat, yes they're sort of spot lamps as apose to flood lamps but with this new reflector, moving a little 60W bulb around my cab could have been done with ease! So yeh now i'm looking at a tubed UVB bulb and reflector like you, gona be hung in a similar fashion, but on the back side of my cab where there's space.

Pulling what through? thats the beauty of this method, the plant stays on top of the screen from day 1, and branches that are too tall are just pulled down and tied to the screen below. Nothing was ever pulled anywhere, everything was trained in place and size.

Yes, you did this right.
I didn't realize she had a 14 week veg, that explains it.

Don't worry, I keep skeletons too!
Annnnd, to be even mroe coincidental, I just did the same thing!
That was the motivation behind the crazy LST in my signature journal.

I'll get a shot of her skeleton while I update the little clone tonight.
Yeh, 14 week veg and all of a sudden its not as impressive... u'll still bow down to me right? haha.

I kept my first skeletons as they were my first grows ever, i kept my second ones as it illustrated the effects of topping and LST'ing pretty well. Now this skeleton will take things one step further. Every grow i have to show some sort of advancement from the previous one.... u no?

lookin forward to the pics, i'll post a few up of mine when i get round to it.

Thread works? I bet a bunch of stuff would work then...

And I misunderstood also. This makes sense.
I think some pretty crazy stuff can probably be done :)
thanks very much, glad u like it! or love it rather
I love it too.

For sure, this grow has given birth to even crazier ideas for the future....

Oh, well I do the tuck method vs tie down. Pull the shoots from underneath and move them to my desired location...let them grow through again...repeat...IDK less work imo...but to each their own, see great results both ways, so u just gotta find out what works for you.
