The Scrog Club

Wuzzup integra I just read most of your journal last night trying to learn about dwc. And then ended up goin thru Cropalotapot's journal with the flood and drain tables and saw that you were followin that last year. He sure does nice work. Im goin dwc after a few runs with the current setup. It really looks like the highest yielding method .

Anyway congrats on a sweet scrog you just finished. Im running a scrog right now in the back yard shed. Just started my third week of flower on my first run. Im doing a 3'x6.5' flood and drain table with a 1/2 inch pvc frame attached to it to hold my screen. I have two air cooled digital hps 1000s for lighting, and rockwool for my medium. I had a lot of problems thru veg from root rot to nute burn but it was a good learning experience and they look pretty good now. Heres a few pics from 2 weeks ago.

Lookss like it is coming along great, and mistakes are no big deal as long as you learn from them. Keep it up, I want to see that shen filled with a carpet of buds.

damn quick rip!!love the set up...my wife would never get me outa there..and integ the first pic was veg and the last to are flower..the one og kush has a 3.75 ft canopy at this point and og is a lanky in my opinion unless trained otherwise

sounds like it should do great, but there's only one way to really find out, so keep her sideways and keep the pics coming.

i noticed alot of powdery mildew on one of your pics, could it be your room isnt dialed in properly?-and youre posting in an advanced growing section?-unsuscribed!

Is this guy talking to me? I have never had powdery mildew, and I post my good and bad grows so people can learn. Im glad you are leaving this thread with that kind of attitude.

I dont quite understand the scrog method even after reading tuto's ... Can someone explain me in easy words for +REP

All a scrog is is a grid used to keep your plants growing horizontally in and organized and even fashion. It is generally done by letting the tip of a branch grow through the screen by a few inches and then it is pulled back through to the bottom and move over a slot away from the original slot and then the plant grows up threw the next one. You just repeat this process with every branch with an end goal of having every slot on the screen filled with a nice bud.

brand new ruger sr9c 9mm 19..got the all black full size on da way..nice piece...and a saiga .223 tapco colapsable tactical stock and grip

o yea 2nd week down in flowerin..starting Kushie Kush feedings this week..any ony use this stufff..i know its all bout marketing but thas up ta me to decide if i se a sizeable difference..if not..to the DUMP wit the shit.....

Looking good Green. I hope you didnt get your Ruger too sticky for that pic.

hahah thanx...nah not yet...you cut side two yet??im waitn on da yeilds my man...

No I havent cut the right side yet, Probly in a couple of weeks. By the looks of it, It will be a little less weight than the right. I already posted the weight of the left side but incase you missed it, I got 16oz.3grams. Not bad for 3 plants.

My system is similar and all I do is refill it thru the planters. It can be a bitch when the plants get huge, but a long ended watering can works great.

hell no thatss GREAT!! im hopen that some how by the graces of the kush gods the at least 12...medication is vital

This is my Aurora Indica Scrog, I vegged for 7 weeks flowered so far for 5 weeks. I got my seeds from Nirvana and they are feminized. I am using a 400 watt HPS/MH light, and I am using Fox Farm nutes. I have my plant in a 3 gallon pot and I use Black gold organic potting mix. I also use Humboldt county's own Bushmaster, Gravity, and Snowstorm ultra.
For more info on my grow check out my journal @ https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/303844-aurora-indica-scrog-screen-green.html
I'm subbed!

hey integra, on page one, third pic, i think you made a mistake. it says day seven of flower, but there ain't no way! that's more like 2 weeks or more. check it out....

I should have explained that pic better. The plant in the fron middle is a WW1 clone I used to sex the mother and I figured why pull it out. The other 5 plants around it are on day 7 though. The sexing one is on week 3 or 4.

And that is a sweet ass single plant scrog wolf. Good work.

hey wolf where u find that table??looks premade and perfect for that plant..and im willin ta be you got wheels on it huh??? thats great dont u jus LOVE the creative thinking that comes with cultivating

hey integ..i posted this in the co2 thread but not seemin ta get an answer so ima ask you..bc i think you mentioned you use co2 correct..well i am planning on joining the co2 enrichment team but i was wondering how to caculate my rruuning times to get 1100-1500 ppm in my 64cu. ft. space..they had a calculator but i only made it half way thru the formula and was stuck so....1st question do do yyou think i cud use a 5lb tank for at least 3weeks at a time in this space b4 refills or go for the 20lb and runni it the entire flowr period??? or what about boost bucket??they say they last 90 days with ppms up to 1300ppm/?? +rep for info thanx bud

CO2 enrichment works great, but it is very hard to dial in correctly on a timer. Your best bet is to save up and do it right the first time and just get a co2 controller. They are fairly expensive, but the cheapest one that is worth buying is the one mad by Hydro Innovations. Here's a link for that one.
http://www.growlightexpress.com/carbon-dioxide-co2-31/hydrogen-co2-monitor-997.html
It saves you all the calculating(which is almost impossible to get right) because it is very hard to calculate accurately since most rooms arent completely sealed. Mine for example, I did everything I could to make sure it is sealed, and I still have a leak somehow. Having the controller helps you know that as long as you bottle isnt empty, your co2 ppms are perfect.
As far as the bottle, they dont last long at all. In an average sized tent 4'x4' a 20lb bottle usually lasts 1-1.5 weeks. They are also kind of a pain to get filled on a regular bases, and might raise suspicion if you're in there getting it filled every week. If you can have the space for if a co2 generator is far more efficient. I use the Hydrogen MiniGen and water cool it, but the water part is optional. here's a link for that...
http://www.growlightexpress.com/carbon-dioxide-co2-31/minigen-co2-generator-907.html
It is very small and does a great job. It also geenerates a very small amount of heat(when not water cooled) that is easily manageable. And for the efficiency side, a 20lb propane bottle lasts me 3-3.5 weeks and can be exchanged anywhere(gas station at 2am if need be) and is slightly sheaper to fill than co2. Thats my 2 sents. Even if you can get the generator, you should still use the controller on the bottled stuff and cook up a good excuse as to why you need to get it filled every week or so, for example you use it in an aquarium for underwater plants, but you may have to do a little research on underwater plants because when I used that excuse I had the luck of having someone with interests in that and he started asking questions about how I like to set up the filters on my tank because his suck and he wanted to change it.

My screen is about 2 foot by 3 foot. I am using a portable cheap green house, i just took the plastic off of it. It was a 4 tier green house, I just had it hanging around. It was a day or two after I did some research on scrogs, as soon as I looked at it I was like SCROG I'm doing it. LOL I have seen the same greenhouse for sale on ebay for $35 . And yes, I do love the creative thinking that come with gardening! Thanks everyone for your complements!
Ohh yea , and no wheels on the green house, but that is a good idea.....I'll have to come up with something!

thanx again integ u been a big help... wut do thnk about one of these http://cgi.ebay.com/Milwaukee-SMS12...emQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item35a57690b1 not sure if its the type monitor u mean..i saw the ones for 200 and up but if this werks ima grab this one...cuz they got the regulator combo for 189$ and i got my eye on a 15lb tank for 30$..wut you think..cuz obviously in a scrog sceneincrease is allways a must!!!

and it definatley seems to be doin you justice....

That link is for a ph meter, just has an output to hook to a co2 controller. The one I left a link to is about as cheap as a controller get before they become worthless, inaccurate crap. That is one of the few parts you dont want to skimp on to much.

i scrogged bubba kush last year and this year i am scrogging super silver haze....as she grows uncontrollably out of fashion!

first picture is ssh vegging taken today

second third and fourth are bubba kush flower. weeks 7-8
