Scrog ! First timer !

Awesome bro thanks heaps aye !! Hope I don't annoy ya with all the future questions I have lol jus warning ya in advanced !'

im gonna hit up the hardware store this afternoon to buy all the stuff for screen and also maybe a couple more oscilating fans !!!
Ill update it when I get it might even do a DIY page on making screens lol will be fun !!
also what is the go with having a curved screen ?

I didn't read the whole thread.
I have the same size tent and light.

I scrog two plants at a time. I top them when they are about 8-10 inches tall and then add the scrog soon after.
I use a garden screen from the hardware store with 2" squares.

I fill it about 80% then flip to 12/12. It gets lollipopped along the way.
I do not trim anything for the first 3 weeks of 12/12 then I do some clean up under neath and remove the stuff that gets no light and clots it up

airflow is important, if you grow fat buds they need fans on them to prevent mold
keep your temps near 75 lights on and off

*all opinions, that is the way I do it. I get near a pound in about 3 months using coco*

Thats heaps good, that is actually very similar to what I'm doin now without the scrog !!
ill build the system over the weekend !!
what nutes u using with your coco ? U adding perlite to the mix ? Also you starting clones for a pound harvest every 3 months or from seed !!
ill definitely be checking out your grows man !!
thanks for helpful info mate !!!

a half pipe screen is nice in a tent cuz then the center can stay low and the out sides can grow higher so te entire top stays the same rounded distance from the light!!!!!!

Is there a formula I should use to build the screen to or jus put my own curve in it ?

i would keep the screen around 20 inches from the bulb in the middle, then as it curves up on the outside try to maintain that 20'' distance, as if to swing a pendulum and hav the same space throughout!!!

I use General Hydroponics with Floralicious Plus, Calmag - Lucas Formulas for coco, no perilite. I have been feeding them 1/2 strength and just cleaned it out yesterday and today. I water to waste every now and then, a sort of flush, but with nutes.

I'm in a med state so I can get clones. I usually grab the clones before picking so they get a little head start.

I don't journal anything, but I can get some pics later.

that actually looks really good and looks as if it would work wonders in my tent !! I might make mine out of PVC pipe instead of a wood frame !! Jus to simple to put together lol !!

My brains working a million miles an hour have taken in so much info today that I've had to take notes !
i also see my self rampaging my wallet at the hydro store !

cheers again guys heaps of help aye !!

My scrog is taped to the poles of the tent. I have one with a frame made out of pvc that is kind of a v shape, but didn't use it this time. Without the frame the screen got lifted a bit on one side.

Strawberry Cough on the left, Fire OG on the left. The OG needed a few inch boost. They both exploded after the switch to 12/12
This is just after cleaning out the screen to get rid of small stuff, dead leaves and anything blocking airflow and not getting light. I was a bit shocked at how much I removed. I do not touch anything for the first 3 weeks of 12/12 unless it is dead.

Day 23 of 12/12




The prettier part.




I made a mistake. Instead of putting the pots side by side I put them on opposite corners. bad idea. There is too much distance from the back of the ten to the front, so some of the stems were a bit long and skinny. I removed some of those and next time will go back to putting the plants side by side in the middle.
