Zen’s SCROG Winter 2022 to 2023

[Zen_Seeker]

Soon. Lights at 75%.

 

[Zen_Seeker]

Just waiting a few days after turning down the light & feeding. Still some buds development but slow.

Working with the clones. Set up three in the backup tent.

How are the trichs?? Looks like they still need to go through their final swelling phase :)

Don’t think the tops going to. Heat go to her before I rewired and attached the light to the roof.

Day late, dollar short.

Want some toast?

Flower Day 49 W7:

Some plumping up at the front.

Day 50 Week 8:

Trimmed off most of the cooked leaves and picked off any droopy ones from below.

Damn now that’s a full tent!

Accidentally bit off more than I can smoke...so to speak.

Not necessarily a bad thing.
I wish i could do that but id need to flower all 3 of my tents at the same time to have a harvest i could sit on.

Just 7L water with epsom last night.

Next feeding Wednesday, maybe trim a few top leaves later.

Not as pretty as @CannaGranny SCROG but not bad for a first go.

IMO or so I was taught a long time ago don’t strip any leaves until after transition/stretch. Only chop/lollypop the bottom branches that will not perform until then. Lots of photo strains are up to date 24 before they are done with stretch!

This will definitely create controversy but IMO strip every leaf with a stem off and it should have been done 3+ weeks ago! You are trying to grow flowers right?

One thing that’s great about growing is you can always toss in an extra in case something goes wrong especially early, if I plan to need 3 plants until next harvest I’d run 4, always that freak chance you lose a plant, you’re still on track to meet your goal

At worst you have more bud!

Only stripped as they are so crispy they break off and fall on the foliage below. I don’t normally touch them after week 3 unless good reason. I asked about it first.

Only allowed 4. Got 3 undernourished 2(?) months old in the new tent. If I had trusted my gut a month back or tucked when I had the chance...

That’s what next times for.

No amber yet. Can’t say for sure but I think more swelling all over now. Not a lot but there.

Fed 11L Botanicare Base & Bloom. 5ml & 12ml per 3.5L.

This is Zen 1, clones are in Zen 2.

I might show the clones once this is done. Same mystery strain but it can be so much better.

It’s like the more I know the more I get/find problems to chase.

Took a closer peek at the trichomes.

Mostly cloudy I think, hard to tell when I can’t keep still to take the pic.

I see a few amber & clear.

It’s 5:15am Zen 1 “Topper”

Zen 2 is the clones we’ll see later.

I’ve been manually turning the lights up to 100% 2 to 3 hours after lights on. After an hour or so I turn it down and repeat until lights out or I go to bed.

I have also bought a bigger isolating clip fan and pointed it at the light/roof.

They seem to be swelling rather than new growth as I don’t see many new pistils and almost all are lower. (See last two posts from earlier tonight.)

I’ll put it back to 75% at 6am. Partly OCD, partly makes sense like a sun rise sun set sort of thing. IDK just feels right.

She’s not as frosty as her sister. But then I didn’t BBQ her. Wish I had cloned her. But she’s got a lot of different aromas.

When buds are small they have either a pine or cat pee smell. Later a musky earthy smell. I’ve also noticed a furnace oil smell the last two lights on. (No we don’t have a cat. Gas furnace.)

Hoping things keep going in a good direction. Need to bank some weight in jars to hold us over.
