Scrog And Big Autos... Any Body Have Experience???

[Midwestjay]

I've been growing monster autos going on 5 years now. With a few photo grows here and there. I've scrogged one time with a photo, and had great results.
I also have been topping and lst'ing my autos for a long time, so I'm a firm believer that they are a lot tougher then people give them credit for.
My question is has any body else scrogged autos, if so is one topping/fimming enough or do I need more tops, and do you have any other

tips?

you could easily get another in there.. i start pulling slower and outer branches down to train them before they reach the scrog use small bamboo or something like that. i just hate to see all that waisted space what kind of light do you have going right now and how old is she?

Lol there's two plants under the t5. She will have friends. But I easily fill this tent with 1 auto. As long as its not one of those baby ass autos . Not exactly sure how big this strain will get. But most dinafem will fill this tent one plant.

looks sweet dude i know this is an old thread, was just wondering how you go about doing a water change in your bucket... do you switch to a spare cleaned and ready to go? done aero with a res. so no issue with access to the res.. curios?
oh and love scrog thats how i learnt to grow... but mine were normal 12/12 loving girls.. (although i grow autos at the same time in another room or the same room thats the beauty of them) ..they would be sort of main lined under a 2x2inch square screen.. getting about 18 oz from under a square meter. but reckon i could get 30 with the use of hydroguard... anyway peace...:smug:

My buckets have drain tubes connected to L shape fittings. Let's me see water level and drain. I usually just slide the lid over to pour in. I keep the buckets elevated a couple inches to make emptying a lil easier. If you elevate a lil higher then that you can just pull the bucket out. Put plant empty one in while you clean and dump other. I usually do that every 2-4 changes any way. Rinse with tap and my hand. And put plant back in. A res bucket makes it a lot easier. No pump needed just bubbles in both. Plant will drink down Gravity will fill the plant bucket. You can elevate res to maintain water level as it drops if you want. A small pump and res is best case scenario. Small pump from res to plant bucket. Gravity will fill the res. Just have to balance flow with drain.

That 2 bucket rdwc is what I have my homie running and he's pulling out 300-400g autos out of it.

This plant food is available on eBay for anyone in the U.S., this is good for people that are tired of paying high prices for inferior products, you can also save 10% by purchasing directly from me.View attachment 617994

I think hydro really makes a difference with autos. With them it's a race and nothing grows plants bigger or faster

i agree was the same in my aero setup...

Same thing. Just not soil. You can grow decent autos in soil. But not monsters. At least I haven't seen any

If you had a 4 x 4 and a light and were used to soil how would you grow autos to fill that space ? Should i make 4 tote buckets and do it with hydr0-ponics?
