@F29. My friend did a great job looking after the plants, will definitely return the favour when this round is over! Got home on the 3rd of January, took my time tending to the plants and lollipopping, but they really didn't need much work. Next time i think ill just do two plants and let them veg a bit longer to really grow evenly into the netting.There were a few leaves with tiny bits missing, but no sign of burns or bugs so im happy! Might of had some light heat damage during the last few days before i got home (not the fault of the friend, so the soil was quite dry, but nothing that looked really bad for going 7 days without water.
Definitely will be updating the diary more in the near future now that I'm back, looking forward to seeing how this one turns out!
Cheers
@F32 Power came back on yesterday, was only out for two or so hours of lights on. Apparently it's not a huge issue, so i just kept it dark in the room so as not to disturb them. Not a tonne to update on otherwise, everything is looking good after the clean. Lots of growth from the lower bud sites and the buds are forming nicely.
@F34 No more power issues thankfully. Getting ready to water the plants again tomorrow or the next day. Got a lot of good pics with my good camera. Hope that the buds really start to chunk up in the next few weeks.
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, thanks, had trouble in a past grow that went awry bc of friends who forgot, so im glad ive got someone i can trust this time. They only will need to water them once, so its mostly just to raise the light and continue to tuck as they stretch.
Looking fantastically beautiful buddy. I love your scrog net and I can't wait for the plants to start growing into it. Looks like you have some amazing plans for this tent. I'm excited to see how it progresses. Cheers!
This is a KILLER looking grow. I see some experience shining through here. Nice job! I am attempting my first "topless" SCROG (trying to bend instead) with 6 different strains right now. It would be cool if you would follow along and make a suggestion or two. - Zannabis7
@schmorgastheborg, Thanks for the information. I have certainly done my fair share of reading up on SCROGing as well. Since I am growing autoflowers, I am aiming to bend early and gently. I'll keep looking in on your grow - hope you will do the same. Thanks again for the response. - Zannabis7
@Zannabis7,
thanks,
There is a little experience, I have grown to harvest 4 cycles. I like to read a lot, so there is a lot of regurgitation of what I read. Truly my first SCROG-- I feel very new at training. I broke several of them.. but the will to live and produce is blowing me away. What I have learned is clones in my area are seriously lacking. Seeds are amazing... so far... I suspect from what I have heard is - "it is all about genetics."
@Aurora_Borealis,
I feel ya, but micro managing seems to pay off. I get over worried (I think) as a new grower. I suspect Mother Nature will provide. I grow outside one a year and kinda just let them go -- and they turn out amazing.. I sometimes think it is hard t screw it up...
@biggreens420, Thanks man, I appreciate the support! This grow couldn't have gone much better so far, very few issues but I was sorta worried that my buds are not big enough for the length of time they've been flowering, but I had to flip them early cause i knew space would be an issue. That being said, i think i'll have a good harvest to look forward to in a month or so (Valentine's day!). Sometimes I tend to get too caught up on the small flaws, gotta focus on the big picture, to see how much i've progressed, and how to use this as a lesson for the next grow.
