Hey plantlover, the screens do work in the outdoor for providing a sea of green or keeping a canopy level but with the Sunshine you don't get the small buds half way down a plant like you do indoors due to the light intensity lessoning on way down the plant.
Thanks e4ian, nice pic, I am not too worried about the yeild, think it should be fine.
Right on 420ad, thanks for visitin, all as well as can be. Hope the same for you.
Thanks plantover, the netting is 2" wire mesh from lowe's. It comes in several hole sizes's and length's in rolls. 2" is my favorite, and I have been using it indoors for quite a while now. This is my first run with either cookies strain, so I am learning the stretch and trying to deal with both pheno's at the same time. I also have 2 Chemdog 91' and 1 Sour Diesel in there. Chemdog are the corner plants on the left side of screen, and sour diesel is the front right corner.
I appreciate it, tryin my best to keep a close eye on things. Hopefully it's all autopilot from here. More worried about keeping the canopy well ventilated and too much stretch:rolleyes:.
I am running 16 plants this round. Was initialy only going to be 12 gsc's , but at the last minute I decided to throw in one more gsc , the 2 Chemdog and the Sour diesel. Three total weeks of veg time and today will be day 8 of 12/12. Canopy getting thick, almost to thick. Might have to thin her out a bit?
Thanks for stoppin in. Hope all is well with you, I need to get a visit over there.
I am using Botanicare, been thinkin H16, and just came off 3 years of H&G. Haah! Thanks for the input. I am used to a fairly good stretch with the diesel and dawg anyway. I just keep tucking the forum under the platinum and let them battle it out.
This is the way I've been doin it for 5+ yrs now. Best bang for my buck, and room size. I have short ceilings. It also usually helps eveything mature evenly, no larf. I bet a lb. plant could come that way, but I've never wanted to pay for power to veg that 1 plant the extra time. So I fill my canopy with more plants, shorter veg. and I always keep it around 4'x4'. It is fairly easy to do 12-16 plants at an avg. of 3/4 oz. per plant.
Thanks I am trying my best to kinda shade the tops with other foliage to see if they respond better to more indirect light. I have also used screen material before in times of need to diffuse light.
