There is a "special" scrog method that I wanted to try. But she is going into flower and didnt get the growth needed in veg. Because there was basically no veg.

From my knowledge is once to the third node you start training with not topping on autos. Some of the autos are just so quick it's crazy. But even with your "special" training it still will be fine. If its smaller than the others. Just prop it up on something to help level out to the canopy of your other girls.

Yeah shes going to be fine.

Some auto strains they yield less per cubic meter. So really you just shove more plants in there lol. If you have a separate tent, get some colloidal silver and a auto, and feminize her to make a bunch of auto seeds so you don't have to buy packs

I used special because its different from regular scrog. Nothing real special about it just different.

Shut the front door! This is a thing!?

GMO day 39. Got a little more frost going. Last time I paid attention it was only a leaf here and there.

They call this stacking right!? I can already tell this plant will yield more than both plants from my previous grow.

Lol yes it is a thing. How do you think you get feminized seeds? Feminized seeds come from a female developing female pollen sacks and self pollination. Using colloidal silver you can force the female plant to do this. There are is plenty of information on how to do this specifically.

 

[pnwbluntman]

And auto is a ruderalis hybrid, so if you self pollinate you will end up with a ton of auto seeds. Feminized has nothing to do with male plants at all. By female pollen it remove the male chromosomes so it will only have the female genetics.

How's the quality of the vivosun tent? I like the vivosuns control hub. Haven't bought any vivosun products, but the visual looks of the growhub setup looks pretty dope.

Dont mind me just putting out updates in the middle of conversations.

Cheesecake day 36. Starting to fill in more. Took the tape off the break. Dont ask about there being 2 tapes. I didnt break a 2nd branch that I was too ashamed to share. Not even there.

Second break she didnt even flinch tho. I mean the leaves didnt even wilt.

Only complaint is you have to guide the flap when zipping or it gets snagged. But I dont have much to compare it to either. I have pieces of a spider farmer tent beside me but havent opened waiting for all the pieces to get here.

Spiderfarmer tents are decent. I switched to using marshydro for my smaller tents. The marshydro has been pretty great for function and very sturdy fabric. I have heard good things about gorilla tents too. But haven't purchased a gorilla tent myself

End of day 16. I decided to step it up a notch. I like to do this early in the lights on cycle but I also want the new growth going the right ways asap. I'll put the pics in order of how i did it. The final pic is me trying to get low enough to be level with it showing how I tried to get it flat.

I started with the lowers and back of the bend. Gently moving the laterals to point away from the bend towards the other side of the pot. But also roughly at the same level.

Next set of branches get adjusted down and out. Trying to get them as low as possible without going over board. Just trying to get things level.

I also want the top to grow out more so I want it to be the high spot on the plant. Sending hormones down the plant suppressing the lower sites. Allowing the top of the plant to use more of the resources.

Its not actually level but I do my best without pushing too far.

Made a trip to the local grow store. This will be the hydro setup. There is suppose to a 5x5 tent in that corner. Which brings me to the tent problem. I opened the 2 boxes I received its the lights and the filtration. Missing the tent and controller.

Did some plant maintenance on both strawberry cheesecakes. Forgot to get the before for the one in the closet. The one in the tent got its last big defol more than likely. You can really get a good look now and she is stacking nicely. I went pretty heavy on the one in the closet. Almost a schwazze but I left the very top canopy.

What type of hydro will you be doing

I think this recirculating drip to drain? I forgot a couple things today so i cant really test it but I was getting it mocked up.

Here we are at the end of day 17. I expected my troll to come out from under his bridge. Not sure if i passed the cannuck challenge and proven myself?

She doesnt look happy about today. Look at the bend. Little bit of supercropping happened. That fucking stem is thick right up until the end. I didnt want to bend her any more. My tiny garden wire wont keep her down. In an attempt to readjust the pin into the right position... shit happens. I managed to find one metal coat hanger in my apartment. She gets the hook in the morning. That thing goes right down to the bottom of the pot.

Besides the training accident the dryback is off by maybe 12ish hours. She cant breathe! I wouldve really liked it to hit dry mid-late day today. Atleast before lights off. Letting her get oxygen overnight and then I couldve watered again first thing lights on. Everything cant be perfect.

I need hydro help! Im starting at my water source. The main factor here is my budget. Ive got a pretty good tab going on this new grow. The 5x5 tent kit, $400 in seeds, and the same in the hydro setup. Plus I have a few more things to get. So I can maybe get a budget friendly ro system that I would connect to the washing machine cold water or if possible to save some money use my tap water.

Heres the info Ive got so far. Turn my tap on let it run for 20-30 seconds 203 ppm. Tested with the blue vivosun meter you can get in a bundle. It says calibrated ready to use but I am getting a calibration liquid. My water report depending on the year says 50-70 mg/l calcium and 3-9 mg/l magnesium. The main question here! Can I add 15-20 mg/l magnesium to get the ratio right and then add my nutrients? I understand that RO is normally the better choice for hydro but could I get away with tap for a few grows?

A water report isn't always up to current date. As well as there going to be fluctuations from day to day. They test multiple faucets throughout that area the water is being dispensed. So your faucet may fall in the lower range, or the higher range for your area. They will have dates on the water information chart as well, if it's recent, it may be a good starting point, otherwise you can buy a drinking water test kit for less than $15 and adjust accordingly. Running tap is fine as long as you are staying up on the ppm in your reservoir. You can get a very affordable ro system and you can get the hoses and the direction t for the faucet from the washer valve and hook up the ro filtration system. If you have 400 for seeds, I'm guessing you afford a $250 ro setup.

My bad on the tests. They have gone up since I haven't needed one in 12 years.
