Okay, sounds good, I'll give the 'promix' a shot in about a week or so. And try not to mess it up.

Wow... I miss a day and all this exciting stuff happens! Sad that you're not doing the scrog, because I wanted to see how it was done/how it'd go... but for a first time, I think it'd probably be better.
I don't have much input, because *I* don't know WTF I am doing either but your babies will bounce back, I just know it!

hello GP 
pink rabbit found this thread only now (thanks to your postings in LTTG's thread) and there are hundreds of comments and Qs i'd like to write LOL.
i must admit i didn't read every single word, rather scanned through the 6 pages but i guess i know what things look like in your grow shed.
it may make no sense to point this out now but my few pieces of advice for folks who begin their adventure with growing would be:
1. start with soil, it forgives many more mistakes (related mostly to under/over-feeding and under/over-watering)
2. go the easy way and see how the plant behaves & reacts. meaning: forget the coco, scrog and these other techniques (they are very efficient of course but maybe later than in the first grow) - even though my own 1st grow was a micro scrog ;]
but i think you were doing pretty good with the screen, cannot figure out why you didn't carry on in fact. this could have been a nice scrog!
CFLs are too an efficient source of light, you just need to keep the plants close to the bulbs, carefully not to burn them.
anyway princess, your thread is a great story to follow, hope the grow turns out good for you. treat it as a source of new knowledge. you will get better and your plants will get better with every following grow.
oh, 1 more thing when it comes to cloning. there are many methods, but for me a simple pure soil does the trick. the key factor though is the humidity dome - i use transparent yogi cups (preferably) and a dome made of cut plastic bottle ends:
hope this helps!
stay relaxed, chica!

I never use a screen anymore either. They get in the way in my small cab. I also use the wire hooks like you are using. I cut and bend mine from metal coat hangers. I only have 3 plants right now so training doesn't take me very long.When you're doing scrog it is better to use clones from the same mother. That way the plant grow and mature at the same rate. If you really had your heart set on scrog you could do a modular scrog, which is how I used to do it when I had the larger cab.That would allow you to have you screen mudch lower, run different strains and even do perpetual grows.
I don' have any experience with the t-5's but have grown a lot using the t-8's. The t-5's should work better. When I first built my cab the t-5-s were new and not as widely available so I went with the t-8's instead. By the time they became more widely available , I was doing so well with the t-8's I couldn't justify the cost of switching to the t-5's.

Hey LTTG.
Yes, I wanted to go through with the scrog, too. But LST or bending is really SCROG-like... maybe this kind of LST should be called BOG for Bend of Green. But then again I am waxing philosophical with very little experience to back it up. But, yes-whether it's SCROG or LST, I think it's crucial that I find what works as long as I will be running with a T5 set up. It just makes sense to keep that even canopy, however you get there...
Onward!

Hello Rabbit,
How nice of you to stop by! I have already been to your burrow, nice to see you here.
Yes, I like those little clone cups...another tool in my toolbox!
Hopefully I can get dialed in even half as much as you are. You're grow is beautiful...

Tube Dude,
Nice that you had some success with the T8's. I think this is the right speed for me right now. Like the rabbit said, Starting in soil and getting the basics makes sense to me-and so do T5's. Funny how I ended up making the wire hooks just like you. But I do like the idea of SCROG as well, at least in doing it properly and comparing yield to LST w/wire.
Do tell, what is this 'modular' screen you speak of?
Oh, and thank you so much for your continued support. Honestly, you guys are my grow, without this forum I would likely have some flowering or dying plants on my hands...

Modular scrog is when you scrog all of your plants individually. You attach the screen to the pot, If you have 8 plants you would need 8 screens. That way you can move the plant around and get to them better for trimming and watering. You can harvest each plant when it is ready and not worry about disturbing the other plants. If you have a male, you just take it away. It [to me] is just an easier way to scrog.
your cloner is very good. just wanted to point out that pure soil will make do!

Sorry GP, I need to respond
Oldprolg, i apologized if I misread the intent. I am maybe older than you....you don't know me and have no clue where I am in life, magazines, etc...and to be in magazines means nothing, they used to beg for peole to let their grows be photographed...I never said you didn't know how to grow, or don't grow anything meaningful. I will not brag about my so called successes in life, everyone defines success differently.
You are a dick, or you can't deal with criticism well, either way, I am sorry you are so butt hurt, but get over it.
Again, green princess, I apologize for this being in your thread.

LOL ya'll remindin me of you know when you see a single MILF at Home De Pot with like 4 contractors arguing among each other about how to solve her situation best (None of them getting paid or helping really... Fueled entirely by hormone's...), each one discrediting the other. And much like real life, the seemingly younger dude (SunGrown) is way more non-challant and less agressive, while the OBVIOUSLY older dude continue's to drag the rant on and on. Now I ask that you see this from 3rd person perspective (Realize how childish this appear's, and no im not a chick, or being a dick, but your coming off extremely desperate OLDpro!), and both shut the hell up, unless it's adressed to GP directly!
Other than that, good show GP! Loving the ingenuity, did a whole lotta DIY myself back in the day's, now the stoner mentallity kicks in more, and I tinker less and less...
