Redo: 2 clone 4x4 SCROG attempt

These were the two first clones that made it from my first grow, which was Zookies bagseeds, + Pistachio lil later; they both just (luckily) happened to be my favorite/burliest of 2 phenos of Pistachio! I thought the re-veg might be minor/quick, but noob etc she lagged like hell starting off.

The reg girl is absolutely taking off! Re-veg producing regular leaves; made mistake of topping during re-veg, thinking I was almost out of it(wrong). Topped biggie after a good amount of stretch, then LST'd mostly horizontally. Learned alot from topped no topped/str8 LST first grow...

So far I'm loving the switch this run off salts to organic nutes(Roots Organic Terp Teas), ease-wise and learning more benefits as I go. Training is about same as last week, lil m-crop is starting to stretch outa the old growth/height, finally!

The tent!! My older(4 months old 1 grow lol) 2x4 is in the garage drying my first grow still, and knew the 4x4 was otw. I have two Marshydro lil 140w lights new for $25 ea ha had to, so they'll work if i need/really get SCROGin. Training continued, I had topped one more time ea for 3 total tops, obviously hoped for lil quicker lil-girl blowup... gonna be a very one-sided SCROG!

Lots more progress and change once again! I finally unlazy'd myself enough to finish expanding/raising my old 2x4 SCROG. As with first grow I immediately love how easy legit trellis netting is(i had original just net to posts, even in a 2x4 just not the same) was gonna figure later, but did the 5 to 7 gallon transplant; this was later decided based on future size etc, glad i did it! I cut the bottom out carefully of the 5 gallon, then stuck her in the 7 with minimal soil and cut one side, through the soil, n slipped the fabric 5 out. So all in all goodass week!

Bog discrepancies in size with the lagged monstercrop, she's filling in reaching some lower sites I defoliated before, but I'm sure she'll stay much lower like the differences in my first grow. However despite not wanting to wait for lil monst, big girl is pretty ready to flip to flower and still going vigorously. I top dressed with some worm castings and mostly the grow Terp Tea, loving organic switch so far in eeevery respect, we'll see come flower!

These pics are exactly one full week into flower! My big clone stretched atleast 6-8" depending, I'm not adding PVC but I have the basic 4" square(might be bigger, been awhile) trellis white string I'm gonna clip in today/soon. Lil monstercrop won't need that one; I forced a couple decent lowers upwards. So many benefits of SCROG-ing/atleast basic trellising, I get lowers pushed up by tucking real low fans into the trellis, get praying positioned fans while pulling entire branch up, so easy! I made my first tea like 3 days ago; a cup worm castings with my Terp Tea in a 5 gal bucket, and they seemed especially thrilled this morning. I couldn't be happier with progress... got my 140w Marshydro blurple if I need for later flowering, currently at 395w available @ 85%-ish

A whole lota change!, was gona update more pics but I'll be into next week ha. 2nd layer of trellis(no PVC), lil monstercrop reached a couple there too. Upon more(always more) research and instinct telling me, I did an uppot/transplant... under SCROG, in flower! Stress etc risks still maybe, but stretch was over and she's beast, so I built my first soil(!) using Buildasoil ammendments(Coots mix/Buildaflower/castings), with peat, black volcano rock and worm castings, so no more worries about soil and $$! Filled the bottom of the 15gal fabric pot and slid it under, shimmied around, then cut the bottom+4" or so off the 7gal... lots happening and SCROG readjusted so looking good to go

Overall an easy, and very satisfying week. No major problems, just minor defoliation; i took a handful of leaves at a time throughout, then to now a few leaves literally, down to bigger sugar/small fans blocking neighboring budsites ha. My lil monstercrop is getting a bit of the windwhip from fan location, but hardly has colas that made it far up enough anyway. Still mostly white, long pistils, plentiful seems good to me!, maybe a tiny bit of retracting, lil oranging lower interestingly, but I'm still newer and definitely learning a ton, especially tgis flowering cycle being my first full organic. Around week 2.5 i added some Buildasoil Build-a-Flower, has Oly Fish Compost, castings and some goods, plus a small amount of my remaining Roots Organic Terp Tea Bloom which is bat guano based...

Coming along well, defoliation done other than a tiny pluck here n there down lower, and girls are starting to swell up. Littler Zookies bagseed showing the differences, way whiter pistils, shorter stalkier buds, except 5gal pot/lighting etc they staying smaller! Happy with Pistachio girl purpin up
