Purple Urkle - DWC - First In Awhile

Hi @PurpleDreamz! I'm also a big fan of the mainlining method, however I don't use any scrog net after the training is done. Here's why: 1/ The net will make it hard for you to work on your babies. Once everything is tie down to the net, you can't even rotate a container. 2/ The net could be useful to control plant's height, but the mainlining training method already has a big impact on the preflowering stretch, by dividing the main apex to 4 - 8 or 16 colas, you will also reduce the stretch phenomenon. 3/ The main goal of the scrog, besides controlling the height, would be to increase light penetration onto the buds. But light penetration is already very good on a well mainlined plant. Rotating your mainlined plants everyday will help the colas to get homogeneous amount of light. 4/ Scrog implies a lot of daily work, to adjust the new growth and tie everything down, whereas mainlining by itself implies a minimal work. 5/ I've seen some mainlined plants "cracking" when tied to a scrog net, in some circumstances the manifold won't survive to hardcore bending manipulations and you'll break your main stem. So to summup, I'd say that the net could be useful in some cases, not as a real scrog net but more as a stem support, if buds are heavy and stems are weak. The net could also be great if you have a height constraint, but as mentioned earlier, there are other ways to limit this height. It's up to you, now you have all the informations to make your choice and move on. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date, and happy growing! 👊

Nutrients that have coloured dyes in them tend to stain the roots. Its no big deal generally the stain will wash off the roots anyways . How ever if its root problems they will just break , they will feel slimy the wont be as robust lots of signs to look for when your looking for root rot or the beginning signs of . A good way to assure yourself is that your leaves don't look burned or damaged in any way which leads me to believe that your roots are also fine because usually the damage you would see on the top of a plant would also be the damages in the root mass as well and based of the pictures i see in your diary your rocking and rolling ! I hope this information helps you to understand the dyes some companys use for their products and the signs or rotting roots . -Happy Growing!
