BC's 150 watt HPS/T5 Scrog Cab

Thanks for stopping by Zest!! there is at least 20 bud sites now( not all big ones) so things are going to start getting fun!!
Thanks funknug420!!! the Fimmimg did'nt work as well as I planned but now I know what not to do next time!!!
I was'nt being realistic thinking I would fill the whole screen in a month but 2 plants will and I have 2 clones waiting for mom to finish!!
as I did say though, there are 20 sites already so even if I get 20- 5 gram buds( I am hoping for LOTS more!!!) thats 100 grams which is very acceptable:)
Today is the second day of 12/12 and I am tucking and tying and bending like crazy!!!

she'll fill at least 65-75% of the screen ) hopefully!!) in the next little while:tiphat:

I should say how much she LOVES those T5's....:)

this is before tonights training:blowbubbles:

and of course her happy kool-Aid( BudBlood) which promotes earlier buds which means bigger ones in 60 days:bump:

Hope you all stay tuned and thanks again for the help and feedback...
take care

High there! I was wonderin why the screen? Looks like it'd be a real pain in the butt tryin scrog in such a tight space. By the looks of yer wonderful LST method, you don't need a screen at all. I think life would be a lot easier without it. Once ya tie a branch down fera week er so, it prudy much stays put on it's own.

I hope ya don't think I'm knockin yer grow, cuz I'm not. Jus tryin ta help. Btw, the plant looks healthy and happy. She'll make some nice buds! Best of luck! BC

Thanks B.C!! I mounted the screen too low so thats why its not up too par..it does help keep her in place though!!I used LST in my last grows so I thought I would use it here too...hope you stay tuned bro!!!
I also have 3 clones already rooted for the next run but with the screen higher...I don't like stressing the plant out so much so maybe I'll do a SOG? I have time to make lots of clones before this TW is done anyways...
I'll be back with pics tonight..
it should be interesting to watch the BudBlood do its thing
thanks everyone

Hey cheese!!! Thats okay though...now you know about it!!! It works very well....
you can use it for the first 2 weeks when you switch to 12/12 if that helps...
try to find the small packages which are in bags instead of bottles...you'll save a ton of money..
back later with pics..i am dying to see how she's doing too!!!

:)Hey christoph!!! nice to hear from you bro and thanks!!I have 4 24 watt 6400k full spectrum T5's alongside the 150 hps too!!!
Thank you Pancho Buddha!!! she's really filling out now...
Hey cheese!! thanks bro....you'll like the BudBlood...try to get BigBud and Carbo-Load packets too...they all work very well together
Thanks lowrydergrower!!me too!! hows yours coming??
Its now day 4 of Bloom and she's happy and so are her clones...I think I might lose 1 but thats okay...
here are some pics for your viewing pleasure:tiphat:

just took this one today:)

picture.php

two seeds or clones would have filled this whole screen up no problem...next time:)

picture.php

after a little bit of training:thank you:
picture.php

and this would be before I trained her...why do I always get it backwards:comfort:
there is 24 bud sites now which is always a good thing in my books.....
should I just leave all the leaves alone under the screen??there is quite a few...
I am really liking this cab though..
I ordered a dayton Axial fan to replace the Nidec....the Dayton runs on 115-120 volts and it REALLY pushes the air...ten times more than the Nidec anyways..
looking forward to any and all feedback as usual and I hope you all keep coming back:)
thanks and take care
 
momma's looking beautifull man and dam that sounds like an intense fan! :D

im not too sure if you should remove the lower leaves, but if some upper leaves are blocking light to lower sites that have potential, ide say remove some big fan leaves, although with all that HPS power in there, u might not have too :p

ur bud, christoph.

thanks christoph!! she's getting bushier thats for sure!!As the leaves yellow, I'll start trimming them...she's under stress being bent around so I'll play it safe...
I can already see small pistils forming! wow...that BudBlood is great..that means 7 weeks to get nice and fat...
I'll be back with pics later..
take care

I guess this is my 1000th post!! Hooray for me...lol!!
:rtfo::groupwave:
hey everyone...
Its the end of week 1 of bloom and she's reaching for the lights now!!!scrog work is done...whew...I guess my grow is more of a LST/Scrog grow isn't it...that screen could be used as something to hold the plant down as you LST if anyone wants to try...its very easy this way...
Here are some pics for your viewing pleasure

picture.php

all the branches seem to be on the same page...for now anyways:)

this i
picture.php
s a shot from the top...to see all the tops:jump:lol...I don't think you can see the pistils now growing...crappy pic..they are though and its only day 7!! BudBlood works again:dance013:

picture.php


can you see the branch with the orange pipe cleaner? looks like an S does'nt it...I'm having tons of fun bending and what-not:)

looking forward to your feedback everyone...
take care

Thanks StealthDragon!! I probably have WAY more free time than you bro!!!
Thanks labtec!! I've been reading your 150 dresser thread!! pretty cool how you went through all the things I just went through but 2 years earlier!!great thread!!
Hey Ghost!!! So nice to hear from you buddy!!Thanks!!! I'll pop over right away!!
Here we are at the beginning of week 2 of bloom and its funny how she is drawn more to the T5's than the HPS!! she is growing up but also to the sides at the same time!!:)


picture.php

this is a pic with just the T5's running...nice and green:tiphat:you can see the future budsites better too...see how the shoots are drawn to the sides??

picture.php


momma's little baby:)I figured I'd throw it in to see what happens...
picture.php

she's getting pretty bushy:thank you:tomorrow I start the BigBud and Carbo-Load along with PureBlend Bloom....

picture.php

do you think I should just leave her as she is now?? meaning no more LST/Scrog??
thanks for any and all help...
looking forward to hearing from you all again..
take care everyone
 
wow man, your baby is looking more and more amazing each week, i managed to get one picture up, due to the computer problems, should check it out :D

how much more room does she have on either side of the walls, to the left and right when you take the pictures? is the canopy maxed? seems like it :p

cheers man,

christoph.
