Good Job @Ray4x
Now figure out a way to add nutes and you will only need to open the tent once a month to take a look. :thinking:

I actually just added nutes into the res- like a hydroponic system. Mixed up a big ole batch!

If you havenā€™t already, I would add a fish tank air pump with a bubbler in the RES to keep it mixed.

Keep one eye on the pH level :wink:

Im sure he adjusted it before he left. Im just wondering how long the PH will stay in range though. But for a week or so, it still shouldnā€™t be a problem.

Officially 1 week through transition- and officially seeing pisitils! Happy to report theyā€™re all girls (even though theyā€™re feminized seeds, ya never know)

The automatic drip irrigation system worked great for the 4 days I was gone! definitely needed the air stone in there to keep the water from getting stagnant. Cleaned and refilled the res today with silica, sweetner, and bloom nutes! (Ph 6.2 ppm 600)

Itā€™s becoming more difficult to get under the plants to maintain the undergrowth, but spent some time today pruning out a bunch of it.

Looking good @Ray4x
I found it to be a pain in the butt to prune more than a few days pants under a scrog screen
My next scrog run will be one plant not 4 to ensure I can properly maintain the under side as well as above canopy just a FYI
Keep up the good work bro :+1: :ok_hand:CB

Yeah I think lesson learned for me as well. Less is more with a scrog!

I didnā€™t initially plan on doing one.

9/9 update

Hey everyone!

Sorry I havenā€™t updated in awhile- I was out of town for a week and things have been busy since Iā€™ve been back.

I will be 2 weeks into flowering come Tuesday (4 weeks since light flip) and the girls are doing great. While I was out of town I has the girls running on an automatic drop system which worked out for keeping the watered- but ran into a slight ph problem and I think my biggest girl was locking out Phosphorus. Iā€™ve since corrected the ph and no longer have them running on a fill automatic irrigation system. Itā€™s actually quite nice- I fill a 5 gal bucket with water/ nutes and pop in my pump and Iā€™m able to water all the girls in less than 10 minutes while Iā€™m able to prune or do other things. Iā€™m also working to tweet the water delivery system (drip, drip ring, soaker hose, drip emmiters)- trial and error really.

Anyways here are some pics of the girls. The White Widow runt has sprung up and has a nice top cola starting- she wonā€™t be as big as the others but she should be awesome for getting a late start. 2 of the other ones have nice buds starting to form with lots of pisitils and starting to see some triches forming. The biggest one that was dealing with ph issues isnā€™t quiet in full bloom yet- but since Iā€™ve corrected the issues sheā€™s looking way better and starting to get there.

Looking good!

Fantastic @Ray4x youā€™re only two weeks ahead of me! The girls look great, and I also looked into a drip system, but havenā€™t purchased because I donā€™t leave town often. Iā€™ll be paying attention, I also have WW, but not in a cool scrog set up! lol. Awesome work, and more pictures of semi-bud porn. Haha.
