This is for any of you that are not understanding how the Scrog works.
Pull the stem under and push up thru the furthest hole. Repeat process
You do not want to weave the stem thru the screen. Simply pull and push from under.
This will result in the plant spreading like wild fire and taking over the screen.
Training the plant to the screen as opposed to using the screen merely for support.
Merely supporting the plant with the screen is not considered a Scrog.



I copied and pasted this from RIU member 'BluBerry' and deem it helpful since my last grow was a noob attempt (at Scrogging) and involved a lot of plant ties, this pic shows how its done and thats exactly what I plan to do - STELTHY

Shinning Silver Haze

Shining Silver Haze is an excellent choice for the Haze lover looking for a quick flowering plant. Taking its genes from Colombian, Mexican, Thai, and Jamaican, this well rounded strain delivers medicinal quality buds that produce an extremely relaxing physical high.

Shining Silver Haze stays small and bushy, growing small rounded leaves on sturdy stems. This plant does best indoors, although outdoor gardeners will also be pleased with the results.

Height: 70-80 cm | T.H.C. Content: 20% | Genetic background: Sativa | Flowering time: 9-10 weeks | Yield: 450 grams | Harvest month: late October


I bought some new seeds today... some 'SHINNING-SILVER-HAZE', I'am going to sew just 1 of these seeds.. and see what happens... its a '3-way race' between the CHEESE, the ROYALE-HAZE and the SHINING-SILVER-HAZE, as to who's gonna "pop" 1st and be the 2nd plant in my DWC Grow ?? ...only time will tell - STELTHY

for an area that small, you're going to have to ventilate the shit out of it...have an air intake, and air exhaust. to make it stealth, make sure your exhaust includes a carbon filter! good luck!
PS, i have a 600w hps lumatek in my garage w/o air ducting, and it keeps the entire garage plenty warm...so keep that in mind!

Seriously!!! I have 2 600 w. HPS in my garage and in the summer, I keep the lights on at NIGHT because even with two fans and the gargage door cracked six inches, the temp in there (if it's 90 or higher outside) can go thru the roof. By going dark in the daytime and lights on at night...plus the two fans and the slightly open garage door, I can keep the growroom around 80 degrees.
But in a small space? Whew! man...you are gonna have to get that heat vented OUT, somehow. Can you vent up and into the attic? or to the outside?

Well....what if the one seed turns out to me a male?

The biggest pain in my ass so far has been the bummer of wasting time, lights and nutes on a plant that turns out to be a male. Statistically, I think I read that one of four plants will be male, but in Real Life, you can never tell. Still...Id start 2 or better, 3...... because of 3 you're almost certain to get at least ONE girl. From germination to showing gender will be at least 6 weeks, more likely 8. That's a LOT of time wasted IF your one plant is a male. That might be just me, LOL. I am truly LOUSY at seeing pre-flowers and have to wait until I see "balls" to feel absolutely CERTAIN. Last summer I had a RUN of males. Of six White Widow seeds, FIVE were males. I couldnt believe it. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????? LOL....Jeeeeez.

Hi dude, yeah man that bulb heats up a shit load lol, but bare with me as I am not going to skrimp on this one!... lots of cash is being put to good use I bought the 400 version before but then I thought fuck-it lol the 600 is the best so I'll get that and mod it till it runs cool, how do you rate the 600's performance the one I just got has a boost button too, happy day lol - STELTHY

I know a guy who produces great grows in a closet with a 400w. He vents into a sewer pipe, LOL.

Heat is gonna be your only problem. I think you did good to go with a 400.

Thats all sorted now dude,... I run the 600 during peak Winter months, and turn off my house heating, the exhaust (blown into house) keeps the whole house plenty warm ...saving on central heating costs and I pull cool/cold air in from the loft through the ceiling - STELTHY

They are a 10-pack of Feminised seeds, so doubtful I'll get a male, however if I do... I may cross it with my Royale Haze or separate it and make Ice Hash with it ...Yeah, I have one Female Royale Haze in the right DWC pot at the moment, and I have 3 seeds in Rockwool all Feminised .. Cheese, Royale-Haze, & now Shinning Silver Haze.. Its just a case of which ever should sprout next will be in the other DWC pot the other 2 will either be thrown.. or given to a mate - STELTHY

Yeah.. I alternate the ballast's depending on the time of year and the weather, the 250w setup for extreme Summer temps, the 400w setup for warm but manageable temps and the 600 + attic intake for the 600w setup in peak Winter, I also have 2 Thermostats...one on my In-line fan, and 1 separate one that can be connected to an in-duct attachment leading into the loft to helps pull cold air in at a faster pace.. and it 'is' also attached to 2x 120w Bar Heaters for night time temp falls, I am currently saving for a RES. Water cooling machine, and an AC Unit for my loft space, Once I have both these things.. I will be able to run the 250, 400 & 600 during any month no matter the ambient temp or outside temp, I am happy with what the 400 can do.. but I know that the 600 is the best, and the best things come to those who wait, plan, and execute with knowledge and skill.. I am not worried, and look forward to Winter, the 600, the 600's Boost Switch and a 600w HPS bulb with a high PAR output. Best of all.. I'll document the whole thing in this tread as and when the temps start to fall - STELTHY

Its funny, When I find something I'am interested in my mind goes into over-drive and ideas keep coming to me I wouldnt mind doing a Degree in Amsterdam in Cannabis Horticulture etc... but I gotta lot of other important things to do first. I'am kinda addicted to RIU lol so whenever I am bored I end up on-line and voila - STELTHY

Another thought just occurred to me.. I figured my Odor-Sok intake filter may need cleaning, I took it off and it was propper caked in thick dust!! I promptly grabbed the Hoover and cleaned it up.. now when the doors are closed and the air is being sucked in through the Odor-Sok, more air is able to pass through it and inturn this has lowered my room temp a couple of oC ..........Sweet! - STELTHY

I've been attempting to figure out a way how to cool my Res. and so far have found a propper Res cooler... But it retails for around £200.00 I have come up with a quick fix.. I am going to put in a blue freezable Ice Pack and keep my fingers crossed that works for now! If anyone has any better, affordable ideas.. I am all ears !!! - STELTHY

i seriously read almost this whole thread. Stelthy u really go all out haha. Right now im growin in my dresser hollowed it out by knockin out the bottom piece of wood in every drawer got 2 80w LED lights and i have like 8 plants growing in there right now having a hard time sealing out light leeks without making the drawers impossible to open or fucking up my weatherstripping any ideas?

Glad you enjoyed/are enjoying my thread.. Yep! I have an idea.. take the face pieces (front) of the drawers, mount them on a piece of MDF with no more nail etc.. and attach the new door to one side of the dresser, it may take a couple of attempts to get this right,, but once youve made sure it opens and closes and has next to no light leaks.. you can then target any light leaks with sticky window insulation foam strips.. job done Hope that helps - STELTHY

Sounds like some crazy shit right there haha just might work, so i should measure out how big the drawers faces alltogether is and like knock them off the drawer and leave it emply just attatch the drawer faces onto a big piece of wood that i can attatch to the side that can like swing open or something right? Sorry im such an amatuer lol

GROW-CAB TEMP


RES TEMPS

Fuckin hot weather GRRRL!!!


OMG its been well H-O-T !!! outdoor temps of 27+ oC, and grow cab temps off 33 oC, my Res is 24 - 33oC ....................... Bad times, also non of the other seeds have germinated.. the little Royale Haze is doing well all things considered.. but I know things could be better..


ROYALE HAZE

I have taken some time looking into Res water coolers, I've gained a basic understanding in them and how they work..



However this involves forking out a good £200.00+ and moddifing my Res tubs... So I've come up with another idea... I am going to insulate my Res tubs with plummers pipe insulation and Silver tape..

and..


I've started a thread : https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/452650-ok-i-am-line-ready.html


I am wanting to get a portable air conditioner, that will cool a 14'x12'x10' room and the HID cab thats in it... I have no idea which one to get ??? But have offered up some REP! if someone could point me out some good ones (quieter the better, and pref under £200.00)

If anyone could help asap that'd be fantastic - STELTHY

dam bro she looks good how old is she now? for now until u get something else u could just put a bunch of 2 liters full of ice in whatever space u got in there till new res comes in or something.

I finally sorted the 'warm' temps the weather has been throwing at us, I bought a small portable AC



I drilled a new hole in my boarded up chimney, and used the supplied attachments etc to connect it up, I literally turned it on and the room dropped 4 degrees in under 10 mins My cabs temps are much better now !!

I may still look into Res Water coolers but they are too expensive at the mo... I got this AC on E-Bay, complete bargain at only £60.00 - STELTHY
