Indoor Growing Scrog

[420autoflower]

I think Galaxy Brain is outstanding, very much looking forward to watching you grow it! Having grown GB it will be much fun watching you max that baby out! I must say that even though I don’t scrog or do/use anything else in the 420 method, this is absolutely my favorite thread to follow. Just amazing to see what you do and the true potentials of autos.

Thank you brother!
Looking forward to growing some Nightowl genetics. I’ve heard and seen nothing but good things about their cultivars.
Happy to know you enjoy the thread my friend.
I was sad the other day when I saw your post about taking a break from growing. Looked like you were growing some nice plant with your Autopots and having fun with them. Hope you get the itch to start back up soon.

What is PMK? I'm growing ICH for the second time now it's a good one my last one had some massive fat colas she's easy to grow handles anything I've thrown at it

Sorry Dab… PMK stands for Platinum Magic Kush.
It’s an unreleased cultivar that our one and only Antonio’s been working on. It’s Platinum Kush Breath crossed with Magic Banana Kush.

New run is started!
I’ll be growing Cosmic Queen, Galaxy Brain, Royal Stomper and Electric Qoolaid autos for Nightowl, and I’m also going to showcase PMK and ICH photoperiods for Dutch Passion.
Should be an interesting grow.

I'm sure mine will be pathetic compared to what yours is gonna be; but here's a galaxy brain I grew earlier this year. Good smoke, has kinda a lemon/lime/haze smell and taste. Grown in 1 gallon straight coco with floraflex nutes and no training

Thanks man, this feeling of like boredom or “same old shit” with growing was building up. Can’t explain it but I couldn’t get rid of it. Just time for a change. It’s only been around 4 years but I’ve always had a plant growing so I’m just gonna give myself time to miss it is all. The urgency will surely return when my supply goes from 12 sacks to 2

And I think I the big stash is largely responsible for the lackadaisical attitude by the way.

Very nice Job Did you run 24/0 or 18/6 light cycle in veg?

18/6, 35 day veg from a clone, I run with athena blended, crop steering, sealed room with CO2, about 450w total light

Fantastic looking canopy @miczb!

Thanks

Someone else sent me pics of their canopy about a year ago that resembled your grow with all ties. Is this the first time growing this way?

This is my second grow this way. The first time I ended up with this

I assume you were able to get all the way around her to work on her canopy.

I can only get into the tent from one side but i can easily rotate the pot and have access from all sides

I would think using all the ties is much more work as opposed to just lowering a net over your plant. Easier day to day canopy maintenance with a net and you’re not committed to having 360 degree access around your plant.

That is right but with only one plant it is still enjoyable and I can play with it Your plants looks incredible and I have to try autos and your way

Day 27. FastBuds Tropicana Cookies. 32" tent. 1.3 EC, FloraNova Grow only. 6.0 pH.
45 DLI, 20-4 schedule. She's devouring nutrients. I wish she was a bit more leggy.
I'm doing everything I can do induce that attribute, including using strong red setting
on the light ( made for flowering ), and an elaborate set up to turn exhaust fan on when light goes off,
to get about 15 F temp swing. I was afraid that using the red light setting would push her
to flower too soon, as 420 has mentioned had happened to him, but no pre-pistils yet. I don't know.

Finally, I super cropped her waaaay before her time, only because I wanted to try it, and get over my trepidation.
When it's time to super crop her again at flattening time, if necessary, I will. Although she is already in one horizontal plane.

As always, many thanks to 420 for his advisements!

Im having a similar issue with one of my plants but its hard to steer her due to 3 other plants sharing the place. This one is stressing me out with how compact shes growing. I dont know how she will scrog with such short branches. Im going to need custom squares for every branch. Its also day 20 so Im anxious about flower. Ive had bad luck with the previous 5 autos Ive grown flowering super early.

I'm not a defoliation expert but since every minute matters with autos I just went for it. I took a handful of leaves mainly the ones growing back towards the center of the canopy. Is this too much stress or a bad move at this stage?

Sorry for so many questions. I've only got one harvest and 6 months of growing under my belt. I have been educating myself a ton in that time tho.

This is such a unique strategy along with some "unique" knowledge that I want to learn as much as possible.

Edit: I know this is 420s thread but I appreciate everyone elses help as well.

Ok more spam from me. I just learned about the staggered nodes before pistils when transitioning. The taller plant has the staggered nodes on most branches and I could only find 2 branches on the short one where the very newest growth is staggered. Still no pistils soon tho i expect. I cant catch a break on these things flowering on me.

My question is when do i start counting for the net. Ive seen 3-5 days after first pistils but is that a strict deadline. Like if I check tomorrow and find the very first pistil on the whole plant do i start the countdown?
