Advanced Nutrients SCROG / LED Guide

French__flair Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions! To prepare your solution, in your reservoir or watering can: First, add the base (Iguana) Then Ancient Earth And finally the bacteria MAKE SURE TO USE GOOD QUALITY WATER (EC < 0.2) FOR BETTER RESULTS. I use an unamended substrate to give my plants the best start. It's Plagron's Promix, which has an EC close to 0, that's why I start with quite strong nutrients right from the beginning. The plants are very hungry under high-intensity LED, and rooting is fast. I water about every 3 days with 2 waterings with nutrients and 1 with plain water per week. I don't wait for the substrate to dry completely, otherwise it reduces the effectiveness of the watering, destroys the fauna, and may facilitate mineral crystallization. In terms of watering volume, you should consider 1/3 of the pot size. For a 1L pot, I will water about 300ml. For a 10L pot, I will water about 3L. It's important to water gently to avoid the water flowing straight to the bottom. It's crucial to have at least 15% drainage to ensure all unused nutrients are flushed out and make room for the new ones. IT IS ESSENTIAL TO DRAIN THE WATER AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SAUCERS, as this water is loaded with unused nutrients, and we don't want it to rise back into the pots as it could cause blockages. Regarding the training technique, I immediately perform a FIM that I will repeat as soon as the apex has regrown. The first FIM takes the longest, but the following ones are very quick because the plant gets used to the technique and it stresses her much less. Generally, you should repeat the FIM every 3 to 4 days depending on the vigor. It's a very easy technique to implement and requires no equipment. It's also the fastest way to achieve bushy plants. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about FIM! I also remove the upper leaves (not all, to avoid slowing down the plant) that cover the secondary ones to increase the effectiveness of the FIM on the growth of the secondary branches.

French__flair Follow the advice from week 1. Once the plants have filled the 1L pot, repot them into 3L pots (which we will water with 3L). This should take an average of 4 to 7 days. Monitor the appearance of the plants, the tips of the leaves. Observe the top and bottom. The color of the plant should be uniform across each part; otherwise, it indicates a deficiency or excess. Most often, given the complete nutrients we use, it's an excess. In this case, simply water with plain water instead of nutrients and resume feeding at a lower dose. The stems are a good indicator of the plants' health; aside from specific genetics, they should be green and soft, not hard. We continue with FIM and the trimming of certain leaves that may be bothersome.

French__flair Follow advice from weeks 1 and 2. Last week of growth. We're going to set up the first SCROG net, maybe the second one right after. You need to divide the number of squares in the SCROG by the number of plants to know how many branches to leave per plant. Drastic pruning if necessary. We only keep the strongest branches and remove everything that grows inward. In my case, I have 18 plants in a 120 x 240. That makes 128 squares of 15x15, so 7.1, I round it to 8 branches per plant.
