I finally feel like I'm a de-virginized grower now that I'm scrogging. I gotta tell ya, this is awesome on so many different levels. There is so much strategy involved, that it really satisfies the obsessive tinkerer in all of us growers. I'm having great fun planning each tuck. See how each bend gives an optimum position to the smaller branch just underneath? And as the tip gets a little taller, I simply tuck into the next grid square. I'm having so much fun!
See the nute burn on the tip of that leaf? These girls are something else. I dialed it down to 600ppm when I got home, but after spotting that, I took it down to 510-520ppm. That is unheard of for this stage of growth in my experience. But that's what the plants are telling me! The upshot of that slight nute burn is that I know they're feeding at maximum. See everyone? This is the huge advantage of having the trimeter and auto-topper to precisely dial in your ppm depending on what the plants want. Complete and utter control of your plants... you can't beat it.
I was joking around with an old pro at another thread about how we obsessively stare at and mess with our grow areas. I was trying to act all cool, but when he admitted that he still stares at his plants like a noob, I fessed up and admitted that I do too. Scrogging adds just another layer to that obsessive behavior. Good thing I'm a seasoned veteran and so can contain my excitement. Yeah right... there I go again.
Wow, only 520ppm. Didn't you mention something about never exceeding 900ppm with these, Cheeze? I'm starting to believe you. They're pretty big already and I dare not exceed 550ppm at this point. Wild.
The smell isn't just getting stronger, it's changing. This is top notch shit. Not nearly the most monstrous I've ever seen in this here box, but I'm glad for that. I'll take extra long to veg out that screen before letting that orange monster light do its thing.
The screen definitely seems to be making them grow in a slower, more controlled way. Not like these monsters. Platinum on the right. Don't bother comparing to the plant on the left because that's a Blackberry Kush that's entirely different. But they were both out of control. I think Cheezy's clones look more refined even if less monstrous.
Y'see how that Plat on the right kinda looks similar to the Tahoe but not as purple?
