Top them fuckers, the more heads the better, train and tie them until around the second week in flower then let them grow. One of my scroggs I made the mistake and let them grow up they too soon and they ended up about 2 feet above the canopy ffs

ah yeah dude, took it as a joke, haven`t grown mothers yets, have just popped the seeds looking for female from reg seeds thanks to a donor from on here, so when we get one i`ll clone from her...


asking as i only grew with cfl`s and have no idea what to expect from a hps bulb, the difference is supposed to be awesome, and from looking at smokey and har to name but a few i`m going big ;)


i was thinking 6 plants as it would cut down on screen filling.. don`t know much about scrog myself bill...hahahahaha....
But you could be cloning shit and won't find out for weeks and weeks and weeks. Why don't you do some 'highgrading' from the seeds you have? It will take longer but atleast you will know what your growing and what to expect before wasting time on what could be really poor genetics. In future you just grow from clone and will save yourself so much grief and time.

right so where were we....

i can avoid a mh bulb by just changeing hours on the hps say cutting to 12/12 when flowering and 18/6 until the screen is filled....

3oz a plant is possible.

so at 3 oz each i`d need 6 to 8 plants to make enough hash and butter???

Did you say that ur screen was going to be 1m x 1.5m? I would consider a higher wattage bulb or adding another one for best results.

two 600w i`ll be running dude, to cover the whole screen, from what i can make out, and i could be wrong, but it looks like an 8 plant scrog 4 plants for each 600w, so we should achive a quick fill of the screen ... theroy i must add, i`ll know more closer to the time itself....

also theres a possiblity of extending the screen into a double u shape or close to it, a small vert scrog if you like, again just to increase the chances for good yeild...

mental capacity aside tho, ;) how far off am i....

run down of how it will go down:

clones under scrog net, in 10 litre pots, hempy type...

veg under mh, until sreen 70% filled, screen will measure 1m wide by 1 and half long so 6 plants....

flower under dual 600w....


yeild estimates please....
I am doing 1 plant under a 400w HPS and I will hit 10 zips, more likely 12 if I got a good yielding pheno, so your figure can only be bigger than mine :P

I have to keep it short, I only have about 3.5 feet of usable height to grow in before it gets too close to the bulb, and its with about 6 weeks of veg but it may be shorter because the roots are really in the rez of this hempy now and the growth is massive and quick. It's actually just as fast as my last dwc in veg growth. Alos only watering every 5 days at the moment, it's so hands off which gives you more time for other activities.

Hey lads. No Internet for ages.
Hope ya's are all smokin it up


ae Have you chosen your scrog'd net.
Make sure you can get your hand through it
So you can make adjustments from above
in early flower. I've broken too many stems
trying to reach thru.
Also, instead of 2 lights, have you considered
a light mover. Cheaper to run, good light
distribution. I was running two lights for a while
but had heat issues in summer. Results are
just as good IMO

DUDE!!! Exactly what it say on the tin. It moves the light around. You can keep the lights closer to tips and distribute light better. Simple and very effective!!
