[hazydreams]

nice job Blynx! the screen is sick on the lavender plant. Beautiful genetics as well! R+

 

[blynx]

Thanks #1cheesebuds and hazydreams

The scrog has come down!

Sweet Widow Lavender

Day 58 Flower

Here's all the plant parts after the scrog was chopped and trimmed

and some various bud shots

I'll post the final yield once the buds are dry.

great grows here blynx, been lurking your grows around here for quite some time. i can safely say you have motivated me to build a little cfl scrog cab and give this growing a shot. keep it up.

 

[blynx]

That's cool Jiffgin, glad to hear you're going to give growing a shot.

My motivation for this thread isn't to show insane yields, it's to show that anyone should be able to grow great bud in a small space with CFLs.

Since the Sweet Widow Lavender scrog is done, I decided to start another.

Remember this C99 BX1?



Here she is after two and a half weeks of recovery



I had another C99 BX1 about the same size (she's on the left) and will use both in the scrog



I transplanted them, got them in the cab and started their training

Day 00 Veg

I'm using a larger sized goldfish box than I usually do. These boxes aren't watertight so I used contractor bags to line the them and then taped the bag edges to the box.

Here's a shot showing size difference between two types of goldfish boxes

Glad to see that the c99bx1 recovered Blynx. Lol, I love how you use goldfish boxes. I swear, every time I look at your thread I get a craving for some goldfish. Take care dude.

Hey blynx. Good job. How's about the lighter in the scrog pics for scale?

 

[Strangely]

I think there's one piece of vitally important info you've neglected to detail for us...

What's 'Goldfish'?!

You're scrog harvest looks mouth watering Blynx!!

Some of the best stoner food ever. So addictive and deliciously saltycheesycrunchy. They are best after a few bong hits, though I often end up in a situation where I'm alternating between grabbing and munching enormous handfuls of the things. I suppose it's better than doing the same with swiss cake rolls, or gummi bears, though. mmmmm... gummi bears...

Ok! What was I talking about? Oh yeah,

Goldfish

Blynx is using the cartons for his containers. Very creative use of something that would otherwise end up in a land fill.

Nice work as always, Blynx. Do you ever defoliate during veg or early flower? Any opinions on the proess?

confidential, in one of the previous pages blynx says:

"Not really. I don't like pulling leaves off plants until they are dead or so yellow and wilted they literally fall off. I do tuck leaves out of the way. "

hope that answers your question

Thanks Jiffgins!

I'm gonna have to brush up on the ol' reading comprehension skills.

 

[blynx]

Thanks jiffgins, I was going to link to that post.

jcUK, here's a pic of the scrog with a lighter in the picture to show scale.

Here's the dried buds from the previous scrog run with the Sweet Widow Lavender.

and the final dried weight

I got 63g dried from 1.6 sq ft with cfls.

I was hoping to hit 2 oz, which I surpassed, so no complaints here.

I never know what to say when people ask me why Blynx is the only ICmag member that I send naked pics of myself to....now when they ask me that I can just send them link to this thread.

You're doing a great job, Sweetheart!

Wow, I thought I was the only one. Blynx has that effect on people.

Sincerely,

Not a problem confidential, lots of things to read on these forums easy to skip over or forget some things.

Excellent harvest from that scrog blynx, looks mouth watering!

Can't decide if I want to scrog or LST in a little cab... Would scrog even be efficient in a 1'x1' or would I be better off building the cab a little wider?

I don't think a scrog in a 1'x1' area (screen size < 1'x1') would be as efficient as a 1'x1' scrog (screen size = 1'x1') in a slightly larger area.

If you don't mount the screen to the wall, you will lose growing/flowering space on all four sides due to a frame for the screen.

I also think a slightly larger cab allows for beneficial reflection to the outside buds instead of having them press up against a wall and get a lot less light to those sides.

Thanks for the info, I'm a little hesitant to mount the screen to the actual cab due to this being my first grow i don't want it too high or too low and not be able to adjust if need be. Trying to think of the best way to go about things prior to building it
