1250 Watt 4x4 Hydro ScrOG Dutch Passion- Think Different Auto

So, here's my new project.
5 Think Different autoflowering plants from Dutch Passion. THC content is supposedly 18%. Seymour pulled 365 grams off one plant.
Let's see what I can do with 5.
Time to get ScrOGgy.

Day 32 from seed.
Hydro- 4x4 Ebb n Flow table. Flood every 1.5 hours for 15 minutes when lights on.
Lights- 650 watts mixed HPS-MH. 19/5 Will finish under 1250 watts.
Nutes- GH Flora-Duo, Cali-Magic, Floralicious+, Liquid Koolbloom in Flower.
CO2- Liquid Cooled CO2 generator. (I don't have a controller, just run it 4 minutes twice a day) Probably doesn't do much.
AC.





These plants are 32 days old. They are growing FAST!!! These things should REALLY put off some weight. I learned from my first grow that light distribution is EVERYTHING when it comes to hard dense even nugs so ScrOG seems perfect for my situation. Everyday I have to stretch the ScrOG more, and new bud sites and branches just seem to pop up overnight. I think by the time it's done I should be able to full most of this 4x4 screen without a problem. Can't imagine what kind of yield I'll get, but I'm aiming for a pound and I think that's very realistic. I've been sharing this on another forum, and I figured I'd share it here as well. Let me know what you all think. I'll be adding more pics as time goes on.




Here's some pics of the TD buds from my first grow. Few weeks to go, but looking good, eh?

Day 40. (yesterday)


Got about 70 something decent bud sites. DEFINITELY going to get some weight off this one.
Added another 600 watt HPS which puts it to 1000 watts HPS, and 250 watts MH for a total of 1250 watts on a 4x4 table. Gonna run this the rest of the grow. The ScrOG is shaping up nicely, and I'm expecting a pretty good haul off this one.
Switched to Flowering nutes: General Hydroponics FloraDuo A/B with Floralicious+, Liquid Koolbloom, and Calimagic.
1.1 EC (550 PPM)
PH- 5.7-6.1. Only having to adjust down every 3 days. Really liking the larger reservoir(35 Gal.) in regards to stable PH, and EC.
About a third of the bud sites are already Frosty with Trichomes. Much better than my first grow.
Shitty Computer pics for now till the camera comes home.

Another Update:
Day 41.
EC- 1.1
PH- 5.7


Had a bit of light stress after adding the extra 600 watts, so I raised the lights a bit and things are really filling in nicely. I can start to see how things will take shape now. I will still have a good deal of jogging things around and spreading the bigger buds out so they all get good light, but the net will most definitely be full. Each plant has it's own personality. They all look good, but definitely their own personality. I have one that's super Frosty already and a couple that are only showing the amount of trichomes I would expect to see. Either way, I plan on taking these plants to 90 days, so I'm almost halfway through with this grow. I Definitely want 30% amber trichomes this time around. Looking for that couchlock, put me to sleep body stone. Harvested my last stuff with about 50% clear 50% cloudy. Good clear headed high, but I want that devastating do nothing smoke, lol.
Here's some pics.

Thanks, I'm hoping it puts out good as I've got all my lights tied up on this right now. I was moving to a perpetual until my bro laid these beans on me. 4x8 tent with 4 2x4 flood drain tables. Total of 8 plants, two plants per table, and a 2 plant harvest every 3 weeks. That's the plan, and I'm sticking to it. This won't be my last auto grow, but I want to pick out a good mother and use clones for the perpetual. Each plant on the table has it's own personality. Perpetual can definitely be done with auto's, I'm not saying it can't. Just want really consistant results, and clones are cheaper than beans. :peace:

Yeah, I'm going to take the 250 watt MH out. Need it to start some clones, and 1k should be more than enough. Spread out the ScrOG some more today, and REALLY got the net filled. Everything is nice and even and Full on great budsites. Can't wait for it to really start budding, and putting on weight. Should be a good show.

Nice grow +rep

Is that bud drying in your bloom room? Light breaks down THC after harvest.

Yeah, I got it all into jars now. Problem is it's been 75% humidity here for over a week (always humid here in the south) other than the grow area. I'll have to make a lightproof chamber for the next grow. Thanks for the Comments!

NICE SCROG! Some people would argue that autos are not suited for SCROG. These people have never grown a sativa dom auto. Best of luck, tho you DON'T need it. Stay Crunchy!

Thanks a lot man. I knew this strain would stretch big time after 3-4 weeks so I figured it would work out. I wouldn't have tried it with just any auto, but I just know TD has the potential for MASSIVE weight in ideal conditions. I just had to do it.

Update:


Day 43.
I've stretched the ScrOG even more, and the entire table is even and full, All 5 plants are out of their pre-flower stretch and just starting to flower. Had I done more than 5 plants, it would have been too much. I've pretty much got everything where I want it now. I'm sure I'll have to move things here and there to keep everything right, but they have stopped vertical growth all together now. The buds sites are just getting bigger. Sorry for all the updates, things just seem to be happening fast up until this point.


Time to sit back for the next 6 weeks and watch things get Crazy :pimp:
Here are some pics:

Update.
Day 46
PH- 5.7
EC- 1150


Man, stuff really happens quick in Hydro. The net just seems to fill in more, and more each day. The whole screen is just a mass of cola's. I only got one of these per plant on my last Think Different DWC grow. This ScrOG is Fing INSANE! I plan on taking these past 90 days so I'm not even half way through this grow, and it's already looking pretty ridiculous for 46 days. I NEVER imagined it would work out half this good. There's still plenty of time for shit to go south though, lol. Seeing some (very mild) calcium def spots on a couple older leaves on the smallest plant. Bumped up the cal mag a bit since PH is steady, and I'm definitely not overfeeding them so I don't suspect lockout. Just the down fall of growing plants from seed and not clones. Every plant has it's own personality. I love TD, and will probably never stop playing with it, but a table full of clones would be easier to dial in on. NOT complaining, loving it every step of the journey.
Let me know what you think.
Peace.

Looks like a nice setup you just need to get some better yielding strains in there. That autoflower how does it smoke? A nice og kush cross is what I would go with something with some stretch to fill in the screen faster and you won't be let down with the potency either like a lot of autos.

Looks Tasty! I would like to try an AUTO SCROG myself. NICE setup Taviddude!

Haha, yeah it does look tasty. I grew these out on my first grow, and the smoke is killer so I know what's coming.

Yeah, a lot of people don't think that auto's can yield, but they can. The record for this strain was like 14 ounces off one plant in a bubble bucket under 600 watts of LED light. This particular strain is actually a very heavy yielding strain, and thc was measured at 18%. It's big, and potent for an auto which is why I figured I could get away with a ScrOG. I wouldn't have tried with a different auto. I'm going to move to something like you suggested after this grow. I want to grow from clones and really get dialed into them. Growing from seed is a bitch in ScrOG. Each plant has it's own personality and nutrient needs. Each one wants something different. Some are begging for more feed, and some want less. I guess it's just an art of playing the middle and trying to keep em all happy at the same time.

Keep checking in man, I'll keep throwing up new updates. I've actually got pretty dialed into TD if you have any questions. I learned a lot a bout it on my first grow in bubble buckets where I could watch movements in EC, and PH. TD will put out as long as it's got enough light, and does particularly well in hydro. TD does SUPER well in a bubble bucket setup. Like it was made for it.
