would you consider the 22.5lpm of air you are putting into each bucket pretty high? It seems like a ton of air to me but you know what they say the more the better

does anyone know if its real bad to have a real low RH most of the time? Mine is always between 16 and 25 percent...30 at the most....even if i add with humidifier the exhaust takes it rite out, and besides the activated charcoal will absorb it and make my scrubber useless! any thoughts or ideas welcome!
Peace, skunk

You are sure right about getting bushy, the secondary branches are shooting out everywhere! I just hope that the number 3 plant gets to moving along a little faster! Maybe im just pushing things a little and wishing for a little too much...It just looks funny to see all the others dwarfing the small one...even #2 is comming along alot better now, still behind but i cant complain now, looking back at how she looked a week ago..#3 definatly has something to do with pheno...you were right on when you mentioned that...alot of the plant structure is different...everything is alot more dainty, even the leaves are thinner...hopefully she yeilds something? Cant wait to find out!

As always...thanks for all of your help with this Scroger.
Ill get some new pics up tonight or tomorrow!
Peace, Skunk:window:

Scroger, what do you use for your screen?

If I coundent find anything else i'd use chicken wire bro', You can pull the stuff real tight see! i'd use the largest gauge i could find. This time however, ive used rubber/plastic garden mesh,its 2x2", looks like this: Pulled very tight indeed & fixed with staple nails.



2x2" is the best gauge ive used for Scrogging.

Peace.........Scrog' :eggnog:

Stats

Stats

The Girls have been doing well since the last time i left details...for about 4 days my PH and PPM's have remained stable at PH 5.6 and between 420-430 ppm..The nute temp is a constant 68 degrees...Today 12-22-09, the Ph dropped to 5.5 and my ppm's came down slightly to 410...just a slight change, but i think its safe to say things are still stable. Plants are eating..thats a good sign! There is tons of new growth on all of the plants...the secondary branches are taking off like crazy! Plant 1 is starting to make its way through the net, plant 4 is very close...Plant 2 has picked up pace a bit, she is still a bit smaller but really bushy and compact, and then there is my runt....plant 3, she is looking better and may even be trying to grow up a bit! lol, sure wish she would...at any rate all of the plants are doing better...there are still signs of the original nute burn or mag. defeciency, what ever it was....but "its gone now" except for the old burnt leaves! I should finish trimming off the dammaged leaves?

well thats about it for now...If anyone has any ideas about how to get my RH up a bit let me know, im all ears!

Peace, Skunk:eggnog:

Hey Dude,
Raising RH-
A bucket of water or three in there may help a little.
Mist ya plants lights on!
A Fan Speed Controller on ya exhaust fan would be a big help! & of course a humidifier(Best Option). Av i left anything out,??? I'll get back to you if i have.
Peace.........Scrog'

Looking very nice Skunk, I think you are getting great help here! Keep it up!
Your MG def. looks like it is getting better, new growth looks nice and healthy.
I use a $40 humidifier during early veg, it holds like a gallon of water. I'm in a sealed space though, so I do not need a very powerful one ;)
Here is a pic of what you can look forward to, yours will probably look better though :)

Nice scrog Steady! I noticed some marginal necrosis under the light, Did you ever identify the cause of this? I am dealing with similar issues for the past 3 grows, except that mine stunted out and never matured like yours.
