Was having trouble with my old journal, re made this one. Running diesel and bubba kush from Growers choice seeds and DX4 (GG x Chem D) from Mycotek Growing in Organic living soil. Water only soil mix. I spray compost tea every few weeks and also feed with fermented plant juice made from banana flowers. Planted seeds on 4/4/19 Lots of growth plants are starting to bulk up. Plan to flower after 8-10 weeks of veg

Plants are bushing out! Getting ready to start flower in a week or two. I raised my light up to encourage some stretching, I have great side branching but too compact for my liking. I defoliate and tie branches down usually once a week. Someone stole my phone so was able to upload anything for week 6. When I get home I will post some more pictures. This one is from the other day 5/28 update Just started my first scrog uploaded a few pictures. Stalks are getting fat

Just installed my first scrog, planning on flowering in about 2-3 weeks. Looking tips on how to train the best. Should my screen be higher so plants grow into it more or do I want to force horizontal growth and then pull through openings?

Hello! Plants are looking good! I don't know the size of your tent, but I run a 2-plant scrog in a 3x3 tent and I put the screen 8" above the soil. Maybe 9" if I really need the space. I fear you will be quickly running out of room on this run. The horizontal LST should be going before you install the screen. The way I do it is to keep tucking the branches through the screen during veg until I have 1-2 squares at the front and back open, then I flip to 12/12. Don't forget about the flowering stretch for the first 2-3 weeks after you flip to 12/12. The plants are going to shoot as much as 40% of their current height, which is the reason to leave some space in the screen, so you can fill the screen and THEN let the plant grow up through the screen. The goal of the scrog is to have an even canopy with 5-8" of branches sticking up above the screen by the end of the flowering stretch. From there, I would recommend another major defol during the third week of flower to remove big fan leaves that block the bud sites. In your setup, it looks like three plants are going to crowd the screen and you will be out of space very quickly. I am on my 6th scrog run now and each time is different since plant genetics determine how much flowering stretch. I've had a plant stay close to screen height, while it's tent-mate shoots 12" above the screen. When I was first learning to scrog (I'm still learning), I read this tutorial and tried to follow it to the letter. It is a great method and if you stick to it, you will have an even canopy before you install the screen. https://www.growweedeasy.com/scrog-tutorial Have a look at a few of my diaries and you can see how two plants will fill the screen and still be manageable with great results! My suggestion for your setup is to get that tall corner plant moved forward toward the middle of the screen (middle as in front to back, not middle of the tent) and start tucking the branches into the surrounding squares. You could also lower the screen a bit and fill out as much of the screen as you can. If that makes the screen look pretty full, I'd say flip to flower immediately. For your next run, I'd highly recommend only 2 plants in 7-gallon fabric pots and see what you think. Check out my Veg timelapse at the end of my 10th week at this link to get an idea how far the screen can be filled before flipping to 12/12: growdiaries.com/diaries/20242-gorilla-zkittlez/week/104766 I hope this helps! Good luck!

Loli popped my plants and installed a new screen. New veg light for my other tent arrives next week and plan to flower this tent. 6/5/2019 So bubba kush (back right plant that is tallest) decided to flower before light cycle changed. Im not surprised because all the other bubba kush seeds i got from growers choice did the same thing, but much faster flowered at like 3-4 weeks. This happened during my last outside grow. Worried a little that the 18hrs might be stressing ms bubba kush dont want a herm. Starting last night I am taking away one hour of light because i plan to flower next week when my new light arrives

Finally switched my plants to flower! Was waiting on a light for my other tent. Plants are looking pretty good. Gave them a dose of compost tea the other night and I have some fermented plant juice that's almost ready to give them a boost for flower. Bubba Kush decided to flower on her own like a week ago which is why it has buds forming already. Dx4 is looking like it a girl but it's hard to tell because of how early it is. Praying she's a girl only planted one seeed!

plants are really exploding, bubba kush is furthest along probably two weeks ahead of plants on the left. Kush is stacking up frost and smelling super sweet. buds just starting to form on C-99 and Dx4(GG4x Chem D)
