My first whole room SCRoG

if the floor is wood they sell an adapter for the pvc and you can srew it to the floor or get 4 bricks and attach the adapters to them and then glue them on filling with sand would be a waste of energy that scrog is going to start lifting fast

Thanks for the advice.

I’m ok for now though as I can weigh it down if needs be.

few more pics of the screen filling up.

as I mentioned I haven’t been tucking this week but I have been trimming here and there to even out the canopy underneath a fair bit.

Included my hand in one pic so you can see how high the canopy is sitting currently.

Scrog update

EC1.0 pH6.0

25L of mix consisting of
80ml A and B Dutch Pro Bloom
12.5ml CalMag

daily feeding

Day 21 of 12/12.

im going to slow down the updates now as im
Barely leaving any time between them lol.

EC1.0 pH6.0

Same mix as last time.

Just because I took more pics last night. Lol

the pics that I take look a little darker due to me reducing the exposure to get a clearer shot.

Day 22 of 12/12.

first time in a long time I’ve remembered how far into 12/12 I am lol.

EC 1.0 pH6.0 daily feedings.

next week I’m going to purchase the parts for automating the feeding so that I can dial it in on a timer to produce just the right amount of runoff per day that way I can just empty the run off each day and fill The container as I need to.

As you can see I’ve added a 3rd fan near the door frame to blow over the canopy.

so there is an oscillating fan far right
Stationary fan underneath the canopy
And a small usb powered fan above the canopy.

the more airflow the better

I can made the water rings really easily. I would buy a cross fitting and double up the rings. I used some premade ones and ended up with a lot of dry coco on the surface.

Parts ordered to make my own rings.

decided to make them rather than buy them and will update this thread with the how to.

will update pics of room on Friday at some point.

Day 28 of 12/12.

EC 1.1
pH6.0

25L mix
12.5ml Plant magic MagneCal
75ml Dutch pro hydro coco bloom A/B
pH down

Drip ring equipment has arrived and I will be mocking it all up tonight and manually testing how long it takes to achieve run off this evening so I know what amount of control I need on my timer to operate the automated watering.

watch this space.

The dimmed lighting has a sexy vibe.

Ffs.

just been mocking up my rings to find the hose I’ve got isnt as flexible as I’d like as it’s LDPE so quite rigid.

I’ve ordered more flexi hose this time and will use the rigid pipe for the delivery tube to the T for the rings.

Thanks very much.

in 12 years of growing I’ve never dedicated the entire footprint to a scrog so I figured I would this time.

I don’t document every grow that I do, just either when someone wants some explanation on something or if I’m doing something I haven’t done before.

Simply because I know everyone loves a night shot.

Pics from last night after the darkness shots earlier that day.

Day 32 of 12/12
EC 1.1
PH 6.0

Flexi pipe has arrived today so we will see later how the work goes to create the rings etc.

Day 35 of 12/12.

EC 1.1 pH6.0

Dutch pro hydro coco bloom A/B 0.7EC
Plant magic MagneCal 0.2EC
Source water 0.2EC

pic of the rings. Each ring has 5 punch holes in them.

tomorrow I will see how they drip with the pump.

I’ve used the pump and 1.5m of flexi pipe to water this evening and flow was pretty good.

once I know the rings are dripping then comes timing them until I see runoff. Then I may have to stay awake until 3/4am to run a second feed and time this aswell until I see runoff for a twice daily feeding from my 60L tote.

once I’m happy with everything I will automate the feeding using a digital day timer.

Auto drip irrigation components.

4m of 13mm ID flexi PVC hose
60L tote with lockable lid
3x13mm T connectors
Hailea HX-1500 water pump
Segmental timer.

created rings and hole punched them, connected each end of the ring to the T connector.

drill 16mm hole in 60L tote lid for hose to exit.

Place tote where you want it and feed flexi hose into your area leaving enough to reach into your tote and connect to your pump (which should be mounted in the tote at its lowest point)

feed flexi pipe into tote through the 16mm hole and connect to pump.

fit T connector on the end of the flexi from tote into area.

small equal length pieces of flexi hose from T on supply pipe to each T on the dripper rings.

Place dripper rings around your plants base stalk.

connect pump to timer and test for dripping and time so that you can adjust timer to desired run time.

Fill tote and test.

you can if you want to add an air stone or second pump to keep nutrients moving (I’ll be stirring mine each day I empty the run off.

I have a brand new sink bowl to catch my runoff as it Holds more water than my 2L jug I normally use for catching runoff.

I will be connecting this up later and running twice daily feedings using this.
