Hello growers! I haven't seen anyone post anything about supergreen lab yet so I decided to make a grow journal. I was planning a outdoor grow earlier this year but I had to cancel my plans because of police raiding where I live, the police said they'd come by to see if I have anything which they did twice but since I didn't grow anything they just asked some questions and left but I've decided to once again grow a little indoors. I do own a grow tent, fans etc but with my family I can't setup a big tent so I'm resorting to a smaller grow hidden in furniture or something, I want it to be hidden in plain sight so I came across Supergreen Lab, I've been messing around with a raspberry pi and arduino before to monitor variables as temperature, humidity etc but the supergreen lab can control lights, fans, co2 etc and collect data like temperature, humidity, co2 etc. It has a function which I've been trying to mimic manually with my grow tent which is that the light schedule changes gradually like in nature but with the Supergreen lab there's function which does that. I haven't decided what I'll be using to grow in but I'll keep you up to date, I've been looking at a old fridge, a big freezer box, a coffee table, a drawer, big bucket (spacebucket) and other things I can grow in. The point is building a microgrow so I can grow one or two plants which I'll scrog to grow in a small compartment

Hi Everyone As promised i got a bit of time today to do i DIY on the individual scrog pots i make. I will not go into measurements as they can be adjusted to suit anyones needs , i personally have 420 x 420 screens lol They say necessity is the mother of all good ideas , i am limited for height were i flower and limited in working area so i always though i would not be able to scrog as i need to move my pots around . i also grow perpetually and like to grow many different strains. All of these things were a roadblock in my quest to scrog . I had to come up with a design that was cheap easy to make , durable and could be moved around. Wood was out as it attacks mould and fungi unless really well sealed. I also didnt like the idea of a steel mesh as it wouldnt last and may rust. I started to play around with pvc pipe and this is where i got to i hope you guys enjoy Tools Needed: Drill 4mm Drill Bit 20m 2.5mm Lacing Twine Saw 20mm straight pvc joints pvc pipe bender screws 2 x 20mm lengths pvc pipe measuring tape if you do not have a pipe bender you can substitute the bends with store bought 90 degree elbows I like to use this type of screw as it works well Step 1: -Cut the desired length of pipe eg. if i want a 420 x 420 screen you would want to cut the length to 1.8m -mark the middle and make your first bend Step 2: -Mark the desired length for next bend eg for me i want it 420mm , i would measure 400mm taking into account the extra 20mm from the width of the pipe -Make the bend Step 3: By this point your pipe should be looking like this -Repeat step 2 to create your next bend Step 4: Your pipe should now be looking like this -Once again repeat step 2 to create the last bend Step 5: Your pipe should now be looking like this -Cut pipe down to correct size and use a coupler to connect the 2 sides Step 6: -Mark a piece of wood to create a template to make the holes -Place the frame on the template and mark the holes Step 7: -Drill Holes Step 8: -Thread the twine through the holes don't cut the twine, start by threading through on one end and just unroll as you need , we will cut at the end to not waste any -the twine must be in an under over configuration as it holds together better -Tighten up the screen and tie off Step 9: I keep all my screens at the same height but pot height differs so my leg sizes differ -measure and cut legs -squash the ends of the pipe in a vice or heat up and flatten Step 10: -Screw legs onto frame Step 11 -Fasten frame to pot DONE Hope you guys enjoyed it and if i can make one persons life easier i am happy Cheers Reaf
