Those look beautiful meeks they really blew up you always got some really nice hedge bushes going on very nice work can't wait to see what kind of buds you get from these damn I gotta go grab a pre paid card and order some og gear I can't take it anymore lol, keep up the solid work bro!
Thanks Mitch! I try to stay as consistent as possible, because I am always changing small things, and if I change too much at once I have no idea what helped. OGR gear has been solid for me so far, 12 out of 13 seeds from him have germinated no problem, and the last one I think I drowned so that's not his fault as a breeder. Always glad to see that you stopped by.
Ok it's been a while since I updated this thread. My attention has been more focus on the flowering WiFi, but as that gets wrapped up, I need to start focusing on the White Urkle ladies! Here is what happened after a week+ without any LST and minimal super cropping:
Those pictures were taken yesterday I believe, and since then I have done a few things. First, I finally transplanted them from 2 gallon to 7 gallon root pots.
(Sorry for the sideways photo)
Then as you can see, I moved the plants out under the 1000w Dual Arc. Now both my tables are filled and it feels good to have a full house! Because I let them go so long without any training, they had about 6-8 inches of vertical growth from each of the tops, so I wanted to get them ScrOG'd out as soon as possible. I built the 2 layer individual screens last night, and put them onto the plants this morning. Here's what that looked like directly after:
You can see I made a couple slight modifications to the screen design. The first being that I dropped that crap plastic pre-made screen that I used last round. I spent way too much time hassling with the variations in square size and it didn't turn out nearly as perfect as I had hoped so I decided to scrap it this round. In its place I used unwaxed green tomato twine that I got from Home Depot in a massive spool for very cheap. I tied my own pattern in the circle using the attachment points I had available, and I will tie my own grid across the top before the plant gets that tall.
The second modification that I made is the 'bowl' shaping of the 4 screens together. If you look at the last picture above, you can see a little of what I'm talking about, but it is tough to take a picture in a good perspective. I made each individual screen have a tilt to it, one corner is high, while the opposite corner is the lowest, and then the middle 2 corners are at an equally middle height. The bowl shape should help me keep my light as low as possible, without having the bulb to close to the tops directly below it. The design is only slightly different from my last run, so I hoping to be able to work well with it and maybe we will see some real FIRE!
And for anyone who was curious about the process of making the screen, here is a photo step by step to help you in this very simple process. The first step does't have a photo, sorry, but it is super simple if your have the right product to start with. From Home Depot, purchase 'GrowTall 18 in. x 36 in. Double Plant Support' and for every 3 plant site you want to prepare a screen for, you will need to purchase 4 GrowTall Supports. They are super cheap, only a few dollars, so they will work on a massive scale, but you may want to consider the labor time because it takes about 15-25 minutes to build one of these so that time can add up if you are making 100. Anyways, so the first step is to open 2 of your GrowTall's and remove one leg from the first GrowTall by unhooking the rings and sliding a leg off like you would a key on a key chain. And then add that leg to the other GrowTall the same way you took it off. Now you should have a GrowTall with 4 legs on it, and you are ready to start where my pictures begin!
Step 2: Tie or tape the bottom ring together so it doesn't try to come unhooked while you work with the support.
Step 3: Slide the legs around the ring so that are as equally space as possible. Tape the legs in their place on the lower ring.
Step 4: Remove the top ring by unhooking it and sliding it out of each leg.
Step 5: Bend each leg just above the loop for the lower ring, the bend should be to the height you would like you second screen level to be.
Step 6: Measure your distances and cut bamboo (or a straight object of your choosing) to fit the span between each ring at the top of your legs. This is usually between 22 and 28 inches. If you want a square, make sure you are cutting all the same length.
Step 7: With the bamboo placed through each top ring, tightly tie or tape off each corner to secure the bamboo to the ring and in place.
Step 8: Repeat for each corner, I use string and tape for my corners.
Step 9: Use string or other screen material of your choosing to tie a pattern or grid across the bottom ring.
Step 10: Match the plant support next to your flowering pot size and determine how high above the top of the pot you want you lower screen. Cut the legs based on height desired. I remove about 8" off each leg for my setup.
(Sorry no picture)
Step 11: Slide the plant support over your plant, pulling the tops out as far as they will go as you push it down.
Step 12: Tie a pattern or grid of your choosing across the top screen layer before the plant grows to that height.

Well, I hope anyone who is interested in following my process can understand these steps, and if not please message me, or post here and I would love to help more. Thanks for checking out my journal and stay tuned because I made the flip to 12/12 today so we are about to see these ladies go off! :icon_spin:
