LaBerlinesa Hi everyone!
Greetings from Berlin 🇩🇪.
I've been thinking of doing this for long now, partly because I could use some community knowledge, and partly cause I am a bit overwhelmed and can use some distraction... and well, here we are.
First diary, first time scrogging, and first run with this new setup. I’m definitely not a pro, I’m starting my 3th indoor cycle, with 2 medium/good results and 1 pretty embarrassing one so far 😅
⚙️ Setup
This run I am upgrading most of my features, so big times ahead!
- I used to grow with only the Boystro 200W Led, but I still felt like it could use some upgrade, so I added 100W more.
- I only had a hygrometer and an exhaust fan with no dimming/controller, I added a humidity-based controller, hoping to have more control on that.
- Added a clip fan to promote strong stems.
- And the one I am more excited about, first time using the SCROG method and LST clips.
- I will start paying way more attention to what I will be feeding, I already got a PH meter and EC meter, both arriving soon.
- I also got a magnifier to know exactly when to start with the scissors.
- And last but definitely not least, I will have a better feeding kit, CalMag, Silica, PH UP/Down and Biobizz Bloom, Grow and Top Max.
🎯 Expectations:
My last crops were not the best, I pulled around 100 g using the Boystro 200W. Roughly 0,5g/W, using autos, with no ph tracking, no PPM tracking, and with no scrog.
II do have some experience with HST (topping and lollipopping), but that’s about it. This time I’m running around 300W, tracking what goes in, and using training properly, so expectations are a bit higher.
Target is 0.6 g/W, so roughly 180 g. Maybe more, but as you’ll see, this won’t be the most efficient SCROG ever
🌸Strains:
Lady #1: Pink Runtz Automatic
Lady #2: Purple Queen Automatic
Lady #3: Special Kush #1
🗺️Plan:
This is the paragraph you’ll probably read again in a couple of months (or weeks) and laugh at how different everything turned out.
Both autos will be germinated and go directly to the final 11L pot, while the Special Kush will start its run in a 0,5L cup, then move to 3L, and finally to 11L.
My plan is either:
- To use a SCROG with all three plants, or
- To let the autos grow using only LST and fill the SCROG only with the topped special kush, once the autos are harvested and drying
that is TBD.
Week 1:
Without further ado, I germinated with the old paper towel trick, never had issues with this part so just waiting for them to pop.
I will drop you all some pictures of old runs and my current setup. Let me know if you wanna know something else!
See you all next update and as we say in Argentina, buenos humos!
