BC's 150 watt HPS/T5 Scrog Cab

[#1cheesebuds]

Rock on dude.

Hey BC, looking good man! I was wondering at what point do you stop pushing the tops back under the screen. Being my first scrog, I would like to know your opinion. I'm about a month into flowering and have a bunch of dime sized buds. She is still stretching, and since I have removed a male from the screen already, I have the room. Should I increase the canopy's area or let them grow up? I am looking for over all yield and big buds aren't important to me, especially if they have a gram of lumber running up the middle. Any input would help. Thanks buddy!

 

[OrgAeroMan]

Thanks a bunch BC, I can tell she's starting to get to that point where she's starting to stiffen her branches. Last night was the last tuck. I really appreciate the speedy response Any new pics?!

Damn that cab looks great BC mate. Wish we could get 150HPS lights like that in the UK. We still have to rig em ourselves from parts. Anyhoo as too the Moby I think there is a diary of her over on 420 with my local in its name. Can I ask BC how the temps are? as this is my major worry for when I start a micro grow be it with a small HPS or PL-L's.


Regards, Egoist

Its nice to see the green inside your cab that sharks breath looks like its doing really good in there you can see all of that fresh new growth.

Looking good there BC. Well on your way to a 1/2 dozen fatties.
BTW, you'd have to check, but I think posting that link is a violation of the TOU. Don't want you to get into any trouble.

thanks cheese..yeah, I'm hoping this works...
thanks OrgAeroMan!! no problem and I cant wait to see how she turns out
Thanks The Egoist!! hope my answer helps ya bro!! i'd love to go visit the UK again...
Thanks green.is.good..Yes, the leaves are wild huh?! i've checked tons of pics/threads on this strain and the buds turn purple very late in bloom! This should be fun..lol..
Thanks GrowBox420!! the box is happier when its full for sure..lol..
hello and thanks StupidBoy!!I deleted the link just in case..thanks...
Hello everyone
I'm amazed at how the pot/planter is almost full of roots now..thats a good thing and part of my plan..I figured if I could get her just working on roots for the first 2 weeks, all that root system can now go just to making cola's...time will tell...
the ph of the soil is right at ph 6.5 exactly where the Sharksbreath supposedly likes it..
Today is day 10 of bloom...she's drinking alot more too which is great...i'm giving her light doses every watering so no water at all till the 7th or 8th week....
here are some pics to enjoy

she's really growing now..lol..the leaves look so sweet...

I think I've tucked her under for the last time too..

and 1 last pic with the HPS on...
Thanks again everyone...I look forward to your feedback/comments/help....
thanks

 

[BC Chronic]

Hello again...
back with an update and pics of course
this Sharksbreath eats nutes like crazy...I'm giving her light doses of everything in my arsenal ( lol ) and she is loving it..and thats everyday...
here's some pics from today..Day 12 of Bloom...

I'm trimming the leaves under the screen every few days so she does'nt go through too much shock....

I knew those 8 cola's would turn into 24 ( lol ) but they are all perfectly under the HPS and thats what I want.. I didn't think there would be that many though...lol...

she is the same size as the AK now and the first pistils are showing...
Hope you like the pics
I look forward to hearing from you all again!!
Thanks

Yeah new round in the works, one plant scrog with a big pot has special place in my heart.

 

[OrgAeroMan]

BC, have you considered putting two pots in there and going perpetual? You could use the same screen, cut the veg time in half, and harvest every month The Sharks breath is looking great, dude. What is it a cross of again? White Widow x ? Is it a low odor strain? She looks super happy!

 

[BC Chronic]

Thank you Mind grenade!! Yeah, I'm looking forward to this too!
thanks Chomp!! i can't wait to see your light in action!...
Thanks unthing!! Its funny that I've always done a one plant scrog..2 plants may be in the future!!
thanks OrgAeroMan..when this new cab is done and running, I'll have a wee bit more room so thats great advice! thanks! The Sharksbreath is Jamaiican Lambsbread and Great White Shark..they are both great strains so I'm likin it..lol..
hello everyone
StupidBoy had some great advice for me so I took it...I trimmed every other smaller cola and just left the big ones as I had planned ( lol )...She looked horrible..lol..
Overnight, you could never tell I did a thing
I also got the frame of my newer cab done today so here's pics of everything..

here's all the 3/4 inch MDF cut to size...

a rough put together just to make sure...I have maybe the size of a bathroom to put this together..lol..

This is the shell completed..its such a blast building these cabs...so I will have 24 inches by 24 inches for bloom which is 4 square feet with a 400 watt HPS...lol...I always overdo it...the left side is for veg in the middle and all the hardware up top..

here is the star of the showdown to 8 cola's..plus 1 small one..lol..

the bigger she gets, the more sativa looking she is...she is also the heaviest feeder I've ever grown...
Hope you all enjoy the pics and please ask any questions you want!! Love the feedback!
thanks

 

[Chomp]

Nice BC I like how you're building the new cab bro...looks really professional

You are going to have some fun with a 400W in there, I don't think you'll need the t-5's in there...lol...I see massive colas in your future

Great job!
