Heres week 2 of flower update
feeding around 1100ppm at 5.6-5.8 ph
prob gonna start bumping up my length of watering since the ladies are lookin droopy and using up alot of water im sure since the c02 is pumpin out at 1500ppm still.
pistils and buds are forming now.
for u scroggers out there i need sum advice.
ive been tucking watever branches were long enough to b tucked bak under and from wat i understand the stretch lasts about 2 weeks? so should i plan to stop weaving by the end of this week? shit is gettin packed and im running out of room to weave the branches and actually havin to almost cross paths with other plants. tryin not to get shit too crowded.
also when should i begin to clean up under the canopy? once the canopy is full and minimum light shines thru to the bottom?
anyways let me know watsup guys just been busy workin on shit.
heres the scrog tables
buds begin
temps dialed in
thought id mess with the camera settings sum. c02 generator burning 1500ppm
the generator and my work station

All i can say is wow! its lookin very nice a professional there boomer, As for the cleaning up under my canopy, i noticed with my one plant it took very well to cleaning up right around the first week or two of flower, Then it doesn't try and make little buds below the screen. Im only using one plant so i actually cleaning the bottom over a week so i didn't stress her out to much. Cant wait for a few weeks when theres some nice lighter sized nugs filling that screen. Also how loud is that filter, i was going to get one for my closet because i have the room, obviously not that big lol, but a smaller one, i just dont know if im going to need to make a muffler for it or not. Keep em growin man!

ya i was thinkin of doin minor trimming over the course of the week to reduce stress. and all focus can be on flowering after the week is over and no more veg growth. the 100 carbon can filter isnt loud itself its the fan that u use to exhaust air thru it. i use a 755 cfm fan and is super quiet. maybe can be heard sum within the house but im running a total of 3500cfm upstairs so idk if i can say i hear just that fan lol. but my rooms run way quiet as is. thnks to the investment in good fans

ya i was just wondering how loud those in-lines are, lol not the filter (probably thought i was on crack) probably should have looked at that before i hit post, i dont think ill need a 755cfm probably more like 350 lol so if yours is quite then the 350 shouldn't be loud much at all really, ill take your advice and get a nice fan too, ive been learning you get what you pay for in this hobby. But ya i think removing shit slowly is a great idea, i would remove like a hand full or two of leaves, tiny buds, or whatever else was under there like everyday and i dint notice a change in the plant at all, EXCEPT the nugs fuckin grew like an inch one day! both ways too! week 5 and all my nugs are about the thickness of two lighters and a little taller now, and have more crystals then most peoples i see around this time. I think if i left the lower shit i wouldnt have gotten the 20+ nice big colas of my one plant either, it really helps.

While we're on the subject of the filter...Do you feel that its needed in your sealed room to have a scrubber? I was gonna put a small diy scrubber on the exhaust fan so when it runs at night it wont smell outside, but should I have one running constantly in the room all day? If so why? It would be easy to add to my setup if need be.

i originally planned not to use a carbon filter buuut after considering the security risk i changed my mind. even tho im a legal vendor member grower etc i didnt want my neighbors knowin or anyone who may come by outside or anyone who comes inside the house. i just dont want any nosey people ratting me out to the cops and having to deal with all that bullshit. coops come and take ur shit then ask questions later. but the room is sealed and the timer is setup up to scrub for 15 mins out of every hour while lights are on. then at night i might tweak it to 15 mins on/ 15 mins off/ etc. the reason is cuz during lights out i open my exhaust damper system to vent out high humidity and that will vent aroma as well. the nugs are just now gettin sticky and sum aroma is beginning. but not much. id invest in a carbo filter unless u flat out dont care about peeps being suspicious. ive been thru too much bullshit growin in the past at diff locations so its made me paranoid lol. especially since the sour grape strain is known to be super stinky

im about to start flower on my first grow and everyone keeps talking about the smel ... and how strong it is. can it really be that bad? im adding a 6 inch carbon filter with another 6 inch fan in a day or two but i was just curious how bad it can be. if i have a negative suction in my room from the filter , will the smell still escape?

I defenitely care if it smells. Ive already got a 4 foot can filter in my room now, but im giving it to my buddy when this grow is done. Im only using a 25 cfm fan at night to slowly pull in oxygen for the roots. This will have a diy small 8 inch long scrubber on it, but Im wondering if It really removes the smell in the room to run another all day even when your not venting. I will be pulling air through the veg area with a 4 inch fan all day and could easily make another scrubber for that if it would help to keep the smell down. I guess it doesnt seem like it would do much to air that is being put right back into the room, but idk thats why Im askin.

odor control is a must for any illegal grow and for medical grows like min eit just depends if u want anyone being suspicious. but i would have to say the aroma is also strain dependant. my white widow outdoor grow barely had any smell. then i harvested and they stank hard. so it just depends. it was also outdoors so that couldve been why but certain strains ive been told from other growers seem to put off alot more aroma. might have sumthing to do with the sugar additive products people use. in theory organic is supposed to be more aromatic as well. idk wat size ure workin on but id consider it anyways
i scrub the air off and on all day and more at night since my room is sealed but i exhaust outside at night. it works for my setup. with urs if im correct ure venting outside anytime since ure not running c02? if the smell just leaks out then id run the carbon all the time. idk if ur can is ran in ur ducting or not. mine stands on end on its own in the corner. most run it with their exhaust before the smell exits. u cant have too big of a fan or itll evacuate too soon and the carbon element will not be attached to the odor element and difuse it. in theory thats how im told it works so u need to have the proper sized fan in the grow room. if its too small it wont cycle enough air in enough time before it exits. so measurements count. not sure this answers ur question. if not just reask a diff way

one word: Shitty
haha i mean i guess its not as bad as cruzers journal displayed when he ran the setup the way it comes. but he convinced me to modify mine as well so i did a drip setup but the rings are too wide in diameter to reach small new clones so they got stunted and now im hand watering them. go figure right? anyways i hate the setup and will ditch it soon im sure. the ph seems to be consitant in each bucket but thats cuz its runoff from the drip setup and the pump is in the main rez so it rotates pretty frequent to keep ph balanced. but i wouldnt rec waterfarm to anyone lol.
go check out the new ballin shit; Current Culture's Under Current hydro DWC
thatyll be the upgrade system for the new location
