First- this is a Medical Grow.
SCROG works. First time SCROG. studied it for years, finally got around to doing it
started with 6 plants, culled one, finished 5 plants SCROG after 9 weeks. 28oz give or take estimated weigh in (depending on how much dries out- already semi-dry weighed in with a 15% margin).
the screen was around 85-90% fully filled in at harvest, after removing one plant early (you can see the right side of the canopy is a bit thin in front and in back- tried to fill in as much as possible).
the first grow was right at 32oz's (normal topped bushes vegged insanely long- 9 weeks or so- finished at 4.5-5ft in a hydrohut!!! that grow had 7 plants in 5 gal soil, which got a few grams shy of 32 oz's), this grow was expected to be 85-90% of full potential yield- which is pretty awesome. goes to show the yield potential of an awesome strain like blue dream. estimate that done with 6 plants scrog, 32oz's is run-of-the-mill with a few weeks of veg.
details:
4'7" x 4'7" hydrohut silver edition
-1000w HPS Sun System Super Sun II air cooled reflector (due up for replacement)
-1000w lumitek ballast
-4" High Output Can fan and Can 9000 filter (i think- its 25" long with 4" duct- my buddy's setup)
-RO filter (pain in the ass slow and wasteful- looking for something better!)
-no pH/TDS meters or adjusting
-Fox Farm Grow Big, Big Bloom, Tiger Bloom nutes used at full recommendation
-FLorakleen flush, with copious RO water to boot!
Couple things:
-will use more Fox Farm nutes in future, including the granular dissolving stuff (Cha Ching, etc)
-The Hydrohut NEEDS a full sized back door, or at least some much larger side access panels!
-SCROG is an awesome small grow/low plant number approach. plants are highly manipulatable.
-Growing is fun. as is producing pure medicine that actually works!
enough of the talk- some pics...
