Wall SCROG

So here we are at the end of week 1! I have two original Amnesia growing in the two smart pots from Dinafem Seeds. I'm using a living soil mix and so I will only start giving nutrients a week or two before flowering. From experience this soil can easily support the plant through veg. Excited to give you guys weekly updates on this insane grow. I plan to bend the one OA over completely and do nothing more than supper cropping and defoliation and the other I would like to top once as well and see the difference. main techniques however are supercropping and SCROG.

End of week 2! Got a lot of growth this week, well at least with the two Origional Amnesia! you can see that the OA1 directly under the cool white cfl has a little more of a stretch to it and is growing faster than the OA2, looking shorter with more compact nodes under the warm white cfl. Interesting! I am having some trouble with watering, I water the OA in the smart pots with about 300ml every 2 or 3 days but with every water the plants seem to drown. I believe this is due to the small plant in the large 5 gal. I think maybe I should start giving 100ml a day every day? But then I'm also scared of my roots venturing into dry soil? some tips would be great! Otherwise all is well, temps fluctuate between 22°C and 28°C throughout the day. I've done well at keeping my top soil dry and am spotting very few surface flies and gnats at the end of this week compared to last. thanks for reading, hope to see you next week at the end of week 3!

End of week 3! It was a good week this week with no complications. I've got my watering down and growth on the two original amnesia is quite explosive. Their nodes on the main stem are also developing real fast. Once the lower nodes develop 3 or 4 nodes themselves I'm going to try clone them and maybe this stress causes a burst of growth to the rest of the plant? not changing anything as of yet, just some LST on the OA1 as you can see in the pics which will eventually get topped and scrogged around the walls and the OA2 I'm leaving until it has enough height for me to super-crop its main stem to the wall and I hope this stress causes explosive growth in the rest of the nodes. all is good and I'm a happy grower! I decided to LST the OA2 (see pics) instead of supercropping it towards my cage I am going to super crop it along the cage if that makes sense.

end of week 4! (Sunday) The OA1 is just blowing up. It is almost out of control and I am going to have the to plan my training well. As it is now I am waiting for another two nodes or so above which I'm going to top it and from then on LST all the nodes on the mesh. Maybe do some supercropping if growth is still so much faster. The OA2 is also growing fast but is definitely of a different phenotype to OA1 as its just bushing up with small spaces between nodes but it has a lot of leaf. As it looks now I will leave the OA2 and simply LST in the stretch and maybe supercrop just after stretch. On Friday I also got my hands on some black strap molasses which I watered with to make a good environment for the microorganisms in my soil and ultimately (hopefully) benefiting my plants. This is going to be a challenging grow but I look forward to it. I hope to start flowering in 3 or four weeks, until next week! feel free to give advice! it will be greatly appreciated. I ended up topping OA1 and supercropping OA2 (see pics).

End of week 5! things have been changing fast as you can see and hence plans have also changed. I am scared of my space so I have made the decision to start flowering starting tonight. I have already given the plants a dose of bio-bloom to prepare them with a little bio-grow as my leaves were feeling papery a day after watering so I suspect they just need a bit of juice. according to Dinafem, the Original Amnesia need a clear sign to flower and that's why I gave flowering nutes soon. Also I am going to give them a nice 16 hour dark period tonight just to give a jump start and hopefully we see some crazy stretch that this strain is known for. As you can see I have been doing quite a lot of LST and I did HST on a few places. Going to let the strech pass and then start doing some light and progressive defoliation to all three plants. Besides that I will only be doing LST and if things get out of control some HST(hopefully not necessary). Very excited for the plants to explode these next two weeks! please give me your thoughts and criticism!

First week of flowering done here at the end of week 6. The Original Amnesias stretching nicely as expected with pre-flowers popping up everywhere. The OA1 is looking better this week with an increase in nutrients and a slight increase in pH. The OA2 is developing a little faster, already showing some pistols after only one week! they are growing well and fast! Also go look at how nice the supercrop on the OA2 formed a knuckle. very excited to see the main cola develop on her. lets see what another week of flowering brings, I am very excited. till next week.

End of flowering week 2! Let me tell you was this a crazy week. By the time Thursday came around I had already lifted my lights three times. Thoe OA1 especially just took off. I added my LED which I think is pumping out about 600W of light to maybe get a little less stretch. they seem to have slowed now and hopefully the stretch is just about done and we can get some bud development. got some weird curling on the newer growth but she was a bit thirsty so I will see what happens. Otherwise I'm excited for some trichomes and a good stink. just doing bending where i can and will do light defoliation this week coming to open some bud sites to the light. see you next week.

End of flowering week 3! Go look at my last week of veg compared to three weeks later now, crazy growth. I added a 65W cool white CFL to get some better lighting lower down in the jungle. I pray for no more stretch, a little more stretch and ill have to raise my lights to their max height, but at the end of flowering week three now and hopefully it wont be an issue. The OA1 is stretchy and lanky, should start focusing on buds now and I will definitely have to offer some support on those long stems. OA2 is densing up nicely, the nodes are blowing up with pistils and trichomes can be seen on all the close leaves. starting to get some nice smells as well. I have done some defoliation, however it is very light and continuous, removing perhaps 3 leaves every 3 or 4 days. until next week, lets see some bud!

End of flowering week 4, the stretch is done and bud growth is underway. The OA2 is looking amazing but OA1 bud development is slow and has minimal trichome development.. I'm hoping this is due to its more sativa like phenotype and the buds should develop slightly later, otherwise smell is getting really good, the OA2 is really becoming hairy and dense. till next week.

end of flowering week 5! OA2 is fattening up nicely and buds are still growing. OA1 is also started getting some substance but is still small and airy. I accidentally left the lights on for 24hrs... will this have negative consequences? I'm just going to give them a nice long dark period to bring up those flowering hormones. who knows, maybe it is beneficial. i guess we must wait till next week to find out!

End of week 6! buds buds buds... looks like the plants are investing everything into their buds at this stage. OA1(left) is starting to gain some substance, the buds are getting longer and slowly getting more trichimes all over. The buds are however still really airy and not as hairy as I would like. Being a sativa it should produce its important chemicals right at the end of flowering and also hopefully fattens up. OA1 is looking incredible on the other hand. buds all looking dense and incredibly covered in trichomes. It's almost hard to believe it still has +-3 weeks to go being a sativa. maybe it will become a monster. The colas are getting too heavy already and you'll be able to see some support I have done. Both plants have small new pistols coming out all over the buds. so some fattening and growing still coming!! Keeping nutes high now, slowly defoliating (not too much) in prep for the flush and complete defoliation in a week or two. OA1 looks like it may take a little longer to mature. exciting times !😀 till next week!!

End of week 7! The plants are really focusing on their buds right now. Slowly getting to the end now, about 2 weeks left!😬 The OA1 has been showing some crazy bud development. It has almost now brown pistols yet and a lot of new pistols popping out of everywhere. The buds are still airy however and are not that hairy with trichomes, the buds are basically a collection of foxtails all over the place. It is possible that the buds are as they are due to nitrogen toxicity as can be seen by the dark, canoed and curled leaves coming out of them but new leaves out the top look a little more promising. She is also guzzling through water in these smart pots drying out 4 litres ever 4 days or so. OA2 is still standing strong getting more and more dense, many pistols are browning and new pistols are still emerging but there are a lot fewer now. trichomes are still clear so there is still some time. OA2 is not moving much but is looking good, it will probably be ready before OA1 by the looks of things. My nutrients that I have selected is just to get that 😊 as it doesn't allow for a flush (perhaps something to be considered by growdiaries) but I'm just indication that I am now flushing the plants. I have not been able to water until run off in my current setup and suspect some stagnant nutrients in the lower soil and hence I am going to give a good 2 week flush. will keep you guys updated! till next week.

end of week 8! things are going slow... I watered the plants with an extra liter of water this week and they really enjoyed it, still no nutes, on the flush. OA1 is still throwing out new pistils on all its foxtails, a little browning of some pistils is happening but they are still about 95% all white. it is also starting to get more hairy with trichomes, pushing through the nitrogen toxicity, i think the OA1 has at least another two weeks on it although it is throwing a lot of lower leaves. OA2 has basically stoped moving, no more new pistils coming out and buds not really gaining size, trichome still development still seems to be underway at least. the pistils on OA2 are about 50% brown and almost all trichomes looking milky and a few spots of amber trichomes. the leaves aroung to buds have got yellow leaves and we are also full on flushing. so at the end of the week we are looking at a full defoliation for some stress on the plant and followed by a 2 day dark period just before harvest. exciting times, come back next week to see the harvest of OA2.

As you can see we are down to one plant, OA1. OA2 was cut down 4 days ago already and was dry trimmed and is already in a jar. More on the harvest next week as i think this is the last week for OA1 now. OA1 is starting to brown its pistils and is geting hairy with trichomes here in the last stretch. buds are starting to geta real good smell as well. OA1 will most certainly yield more than OA2. nothing special happening now though. looking for full defoliation this week and a nice long dark period before i harvest later in the week. exciting times! come back next week for some harvest updates.
