400w Multi-Strain Grow (LST + ScrOG)

Hey everybody! Was on a previous forum that didnt seem to get much traffic so I decided to move it over here. I'm going to be continuing this journal on here, so here we go.

This is my second grow. My first was in a rubbermaid tote with cfl's and a couple of floros. So here we go! I'm going to try and update this weekly or bi-weekly. I purchased them as clones on 6/18/11 and planted them in 5'' square pots but then decided I should've just put them in their permanent homes so I transplanted them in 5 gal smart pots on (6/24/11) today. I found some table ends that I don't use anymore and used those to raise the pots off the ground to keep them away from the cold air. I still need to add a circ fan though.

I had a little problem with powdery mildew so I bought some milstop and added the 2 circulation fans, and left the exhaust fan on 24/7. Thankfully, the powdery mildew has stopped spreading, and I now have it under control.

Messed the top by plucking leaves with powdery mildew


Yesterday (8/23) I added the screen and watered them with 2 gal of pure water.

Need a little help with this one here. Should I try and let these bottom two shoots grow up to the screen, or should I just cut them so more energy is focused towards the top?

Using chicken wire may be an issue later into your grow. Your screen holes should be at least 2 1/2" - 3". Still early enough to change it up my friend..GL with your grow. What size totes are you using? I have a 6- 4gal totes in my 4x4 tent w/ a 400w HPS. The 4 gallon size are perfect for the root mass and easy rez changes.

I plan to let the girls grow a little bit above the screen during flower. Will the screen size still be a problem? As for the totes, I'm using them just as a drainage system for my Smart pots. Now I can just water them in there instead of dragging them out to the bathroom.

"Should I try and let these bottom two shoots grow up to the screen, or should I just cut them so more energy is focused towards the top?"
--- They seem to be vertically aligned, the top one taking most of the bottom one's light. I'd cut the bottom one (and make it a clone!), leaving the top one to grow
