Scroggernaut by BudXs

Welcome to the Scroggernaut - either you're scrogging or you're not The story: Wife didnt know about my growing past when we met, but I was upfront with her about smoking. Slowly showed her some pics and explained I used to grow illegally indoors and outdoors for profit. She is completely against the plant, but has always been supportive of my consumption so long as I keep it away from the kids and out of the house. When it came time to ask her about growing, she was very reasonable. 1) Cant be at our house 2) Cant be seen or discussed with our kids or family 3) We're going to Disney. Fine, the words were barely out of her mouth before I grabbed my keys to head to the native reserve to look for clones The Goal: 1 dry LBS of sugary sensimilia. This should cover my consumption until its time to do it all over again next year The Strain : I have a few favorite strains from a decade ago, but everything in growing has changed, from the strain names to the light sources. I have to rely on what the boys at the native reserve tell me the clones are. White Widow is what I purchased, but some of the clones differ in stature. They also already have mites and require some TLC. If time allowed it, or I asked my wife sooner, it would have been some indicas from Barney's or FastBuds. The Growspace: Cant be at our house, and I have nowhere outdoors to grow and to tend to. I have a sweet backyard for growing, but the kids are there, so no way. Luckily, I own another spot with a garage that I do not allow my tenants to use. So I set up shop the same day I got the clones. Pulled out some old boxes with grow lights, went to the hardware store, and I was off to the races. The garage is not ventilated or walled, but does have the amps required for my grow and then some. The technique: I will focus heavily on keeping a very low and tight canopy. The HPS I use has a very deep penetration, and so when I combine HST, LST, lollipopping and SCROG, I get very little larf, and many tight and compact buds. I start HST from day 1 on the clones, bending them at 90 to show them what the rest of their life will be like. I will keep HST and supercropping well into flower to keep the canopy spread and the light footprint maximized. Half the room will be scrogged, and half the room left free to compare the results for future grows in this room.
