Otherwise then for sure, more plants fill a scrog faster than one plant. Also, the longer you veg a plant...the more opportunities for pests/diseases to take hold. Also, the woodier the stems get the less efficient the plant gets at nutrient uptake I heard. So really I think multiple plants per scrog is ideal, but 1 plant per scrog is cool and gives you a really nice even canopy. Happy growing!

Yep, I do 6 plants under my scrog just to cut down my veg time.

Not coco, rockwool. Ever heard of crop steering? Essentially there's 2 types of growth, vegetative and generative(flowering). You can promote vegetative growth with lower ec and higher water content in your medium, and generative growth with a higher ec and lower water content in the medium. With rockwool in veg you want dry back to like 60 or 70% saturation iirc, but in flower you can go as low as 20 or 30% water content to promote generative growth. It requires timed watering a little bit at a time starting an hour or so after lights on, then every 2 or 3 hours after that until a couple hours before lights off. The goal is to have a good amount of dry back over night, to whatever your target moisture level is.

Ah i thought you were growing in coco. Yeah dude in coco you dont really benefit from any drybacks, as there is plenty of air at the roots with saturated coco. I have seen lots of rockwool growers messing with drybacks, interesting stuff. Isnt crop steering another word for essentialy just controlling vpd/ec for each stage of growth?

Looking good bro, looks like they really enjoyed that defoliation! Buds for dayzz

Yeah it could use another one, but I want to just let it go right now. Still a lot to learn, but I really like the idea of one moderately heavy defoil at flower week 3. Seems like a great time, you know where the bud sites are, can see the pattern of canopy growth, etc.. and then let the plant do it's own thing until the end.

That is my idea, anyone else concur?

Wish i could do 6 or id do the same thing. Im torn between massive scrog monsters or smaller scrogs and quicker veg times. Just so nice to see massice sea of green lol

Me and my girl go through a lot of smoke so I like to go for larger grows. But now that I’m getting ahead some and have smoke stocked up I have more time to mess around and go more for quality over quantity.

vpd, ec, and water content. With water content essentially you're creating fake water stress to promote flower growth, it's not about o2 in the medium. Rockwool is actually better than coco for oxygen as it's literally impossible to overwater. No matter how much you saturate your block, there's always a min of around 18% air in your root zone iirc. And then when you top feed, each watering draws fresh air into the block.

Pretty cool idea, like mimicking nature and drought stress. And yeah ive wanted to give rockwool a try, but havent cuz ive read its basically like fricken asbestos if you inhale it lol. Makes me think though, when they say "its almost impossible to overwater coco"...so its possible to overwater coco? Is it due to like the prevalence of fungus gnats in constantly moist medium, but then again wouldnt that fungus gnat risk also happen in rockwool?

Yes...I concur, i have defoliated at week three of flower every grow so far and its pretty good timing imo.

Bugs aren't really a concern with rockwool, it's both completely sterile and inert. Also yeah, you don't want to breathe in dry rockwool fibres, but once it's wet there's not really any rockwool dust floating in the air. It's actually used for insulation these days so there's a good chance it's in the walls of some of the buildings in your area. It's not much different than pink fiberglass insulation as far as breathing it in, you definitely want to wear a mask installing either type. But rockwool cubes for growing tend to have a more dense structure and less dust than the insulation variant. It's generally considered safe to work with, just don't go sniffing it lol.

Time for a update.....

Funky Monkey is 18 days old today and giving it her all. But it won't be enough to hang with this group of fine growers.

18 days


I've been sandbagging just a tad. I would like to enter Rosetta Stone. When the contest/grow kicked off she had a sister in the tent with her and did not qualified for a place at the table. A few weeks ago the runt sister got sent packing back to the breeder. This fine plant is finishing up 9 weeks of veg and I will flip her in a week or so. Need her to completely fill the scrog. With a tall tent I'm not worried about stretch at all. Got to get the spread. Easy to raise the scrog if need be in my setups.

I have looked into living soil and its pretty neat, though to get the most from it you still need to add ammendments to the soil, kind of negating the whole "just water till harvest" idea. Build a Soil has some cool products for sure and Jeremy is a cool dude.

I am using the Earth box. The way it is designed you can load all the food into it at the beginning. (Build-a-soil season 1 episode 10 around the 14:50 mark) because there is a reservoir of 3 gallons of clean water the plant can drink anytime without being forced to take up food. So I mounded all the food at the beginning.

Quality over quantity always! These plants already yield plenty so yeah dude, goin for quality over quantity is the right frame of mind

I watched that episode, yeah im liking the build a soil kits, takes away the guesswork with setting up the living soil. Do you topdress feed at all during flower?

Dannnng we got some bangers up in this biz. This was a great idea and it is going to help a lot of us improve. Seeing this many other scrog grows simultaneously is awesome. Every time I check this thread I learn something so thank you.

Here is Puff. I topped her at node 5 and stripped all but the set below. Going to try to mimic "LBH's Famous 4 way LST" 💪

Not this run. I will, however, give her some FJJ or banana tea in a couple 3 weeks, around week 6 of flower for the potassium kick.
