4 weeks in flower

That is how a good looking scrog should look like. I do love this method. if one got the time and patience this way is very rewarding and FUN!
I see even rows with good spacing. You just got to keep updating this one.

Had a few temp spikes here and there where I re adjusted the unit to be canopy level, but over all I'd say it's been a little cold in there due to being in a basement. I've maintained canopy temperatures using a green house tube heater, as I know forced air heaters are just heating the air to have it pumped straight out if the tent (soooo expensive!!.)

Do not forget the temperature in your medium as well

[Raven07866 15]

I've been keeping that around 18-19c. The left hand one just doesn't seem to be flowering very quickly :/

WHat are you using to monitor the temp ?  DIY Arduino, RAPi or of the shelf solution ?

I am about to order the new RAPi3 and try my luck programming some envo-control.

Wait. what? That's not a SCROG, its skeleton support.

Yea what you're showing there is SOG. I have used LST early on and bent the plants backwards, tucking ad I go. The first picture I posted does make it look like it's just a support from the front though, definitely see what you mean.

Just off the shelf solution. The graph there is from the weather station, It's called netatmo. It's linked using wemo plugs Just keeping alot of things nicely automated.

Finally staring to show buds.....

[Tokage 2,156]

I'm sorry, i thought it looked very much like one seeing how you branched them out under a net... Its a screen and its green. sorry for the misunderstanding.

I still think you're right. A SOG is multiple plants flipped early on where is scrog is what I've done. Vegged for longer and tucked under until the screen is full.

looking good?

[Raven07866 15]

Cheers buddy, just poked my head in and it's filling out nicely.

[Raven07866 15]

More Stech

[Raven07866 15]

So tonight I've flattened everything out again yo try and keep the canopy at the same level as the runt. Starting to look like spaghetti junction!!! Next time I'm just going to top one plant and train it into all four corners! Im craving symmetry!

[Tokage 2,156]

I true scrog takes a lot of work. That's why i think that method is more fun above other ways of growing. Once you top and train them in the right way you will be rewarded plenty. Using less plants than a regular grow but with same yield. What will you do different next grow, any thoughts? 

[Raven07866 15]

I'm getting rid of the nft shelf and making the unit into swc, using an air pot with a bubbler under surrounded by a fine bubble air curtain. I'll then use the secondary redundant unit as a main res with pump and back pipe making the unit RSWC. This unit will be situated out side of the tent meaning I won't have to open the tent as much. Also I won't be doing SSH again!! The one on the left looks like it's got another 10 weeks of flower!!

Turning into a fairly sturdy girl! Check out those curves hahaha 

[Raven07866 15]

Left side is still Streching like crazy which isn't an issue, still got plenty of head room. Right hand side stopped taking up and started with the root rot smell. I've given it a 24 hour flush with hydrozyme and now back onto nutes. EC is between 1.8-2 with the added PK. pH slowly rising from 5.8-6 so all is well oh and I added a vertical 400w bulb to reach the stumpy git on the right.

Jeeez,,, nice size for one plant

 

Like it !

[Pi2 301]

Nice  SSH...long wait and lots of work but well worth it.....

Can't wait to see final bud of that "Beast" !

 

Keep Growing man!

[Raven07866 15]

So I think the res temps must have gotten high at one point and the right hand plant got root rot or something. Is it worth keeping or am I wasting nutrients? 

[Raven07866 15]

Okay so the smaller right hand side has been swallowed now so need to sort another tent out. Need to separate them really.
