Once you flip to flower, you should start trimming daily. Start below the screen for the first week make you sure you trim it clean so its not wasting any energy. Then after the first week before the 3rd week I would just chop any nodes that seem weak or are barely above the screen. I didnt and TRUST ME I sure wish I did. I have some nice colas going but the littler nodes aren't going to produce shit and wasting energy!

troubleguy, you're right on, trimming and pruning makes a HUGE difference

Did you top the wreck in veg or just trained it?


Its actually still in veg and shes just been trained flat, If you go back to the first page you can see when I broke her over then down the line tied down til she went into the terrarium.

I was gonna say something about daily trimming too...i think it'd be better to trim 2 or 3 times total, because the plant does need time to recover from it. I usually notice a day or so of slowed development after a large trim, but it makes up for it by taking off after that.


Iv noticed that as well on my last grow, I think i over trimmed cuz they started growing 1 finger leafs. with the TW iv trimmed big 1 to 2 times a month and the occasional water leaf pluck.


ALSO, some pix from today, let me know if you guys noticed growth since the last pic update?

That is a bigger terrarium than I thought when I seen the title. That set up would be super easy to add CO2 to. Imagine the kind of SOG that you could do in there with a Lazy Susan, and a little bit of Dr Bud Greengenes style, not that you are doing anything wrong with the Scrog, I just find that it takes forever, and I always end up running out of smoke long before the next batch is ready(I still run out, but only because I have to wait for the next one to dry). I run perpetual, one in/one out a week, but I am looking at doing two a week. Yep, pulling two of these a week would make my really happy.

Right on man those look like decent sized colas, I just today set up the yeast method Co2 generator so we will see how it works out.

Also im currently looking for one of those Christmas wreath rubbermaid containers cuz they are pretty big and do a shooting target style SOG DWC :woohoo: :woohoo: it ought to be interesting so keep an eye on future terrarium grows

A lazy susaun is one of those jobbers that you set in the middle of of a table and it spins in a circle( you could make one from two pieces of plywood and a chair swivel<< http://tbn3.google.com/images?q=tbn:9x4zTlw9GeWAiM:http://www.daiso.com/Swive_plate-2s.jpg >> ). DR Greengenes style is a, well, starting a bunch(he does six at a time I think) of 3-4 inch rooted clones each week, all in small containers. You should do a search on his name and check it out.
BTW, that isn't just a cola, that is the whole plant, and it was hard to find a spot to cut it down at(buds from netcup to tip of stem)

oh shit that looked like a good small plant, And i was thinking bout using an old record player modded to turn 2-4rpm if my next run in the terrarium is soil

After suggesting the lazy susan thing, I was thinking about how to make it spin(because it is supposed to be good for your plants to move) but I am not sure if a record player would have enough torque to get it moving(or at least reliably). A servo motor w/a controller would work perfect, but it would be on the steeper side. A power drill(I know, you don't have on) with a rubber wheel would turn one of those lazy susan things, an it would be easy enough to replace the trigger with a dial type rheostat(better than taping it in place)

Well after reading your ideas iv thought of using a lazy susan mounted to the floor and make a wooden pedestal with a round base about 4.25ft diam and mount that to the top of the lazy susan, then mount a small 12V motor solid to the floor with a small foam rc wheel on it against the round base. i think im on to some improvements for my terrarium also i think im gonna use a hula hoop for a frame for a new better scrog screen

Well a little update,week 13 veg feeding her Fox Farms Big Bloom at 3tsp per gal with the light on 24/0 iv been having to feed once daily 3/4 to 1 gallon,the very main tips are poking like 1.5-2 inches above the screen the ones in the middle are maximum 1 inch away from the screen im thinking bout flipping to 12/12 when i get that 1000w hps at the end of the month.

Christen23: Thanks and yeah my buddy hooked me up with some Fox Farm Grow Big and shes liking it a lot, In fact I just upped the dosage another 1tsp.

Mr Tony: I'll sure try that I'm always open to new ales, when i got that Great White i also got another ale from LostCoast Brewing called INDICA, BTW very good!!! a bit stronger that the Great White but still very good

Oh crap!!! almost fogot an update :joint: :joint: :joint: silly me...

Ive noticed a lot of growth, I think the yeast Co2 is workin.

Ive been feeding her twice daily once In the morning and once at night, I have the light on 24hrs and Iv been feeding with fox farm big bloom at 5 tsp per gallon every other watering.

I'm trying to figure out when I should flip but I dont have the nutes i want to get yet :wallbash: I actually dont have any bloom nutes other that the flora series 3 part nutes and I dont want to use those, What do you all think? :1help: when should I flip?

PIX!!!

Now aren't you glad you didn't flip 2 weeks ago? :D

I would say you should flip anytime between now and 1 more week. Depends on how the stretch is on this girl. If the stretch is crazy then flip now, if it's slow, give it another week.

Yes i sure am man, You think i should? What about nutes? All i have is the Flora series 3 part and i just found some supernatural bloom terra but i dont know if either will help or do harm. Im only a newb

I use FNB and it's basically the 3 part GH without the grow. 0-8-16 :D

Like I said, if it's a stretcher, flip now, if not, wait a week more. I see she hasn't stretched out a whole lot in the last 2 weeks but I'm sure she'll fill the screen once you flip.

I think that since you are newer to growing you are worried about too many variables. Just relax, smoke a bowl, and flip the light. Don't worry about nutes, you have what you need. Don't make it harder than it needs to be LOL, just watch them grow. :D

And yes, a LB is certainly possible.

Before you flip your lights to 12/12, you should think about taking a few clones from her, and giving it a few days to heal up(it looks to be one of those monster type plants that you always look back and go"dam, I wish I would have kept that going").
