Sativa Scrog???

[Harvest Time]

hey i was wondering if it were possible... scratch that, if anyone had success scrogging a sativa indoors. i was thinking that mabye due to the initial height that maybe they woul be okay to train in a Scrog set up indoors. maybe since it grows high andyways i could train it to cover a larger screen? would i have to keep the screen higher? even so, could it be a prodominantly outdoor strain grown indoors? in short i want some sativas, maybe hazes but can only grow indoors... can i do it?

Sure you can. I do. The key is horizontal growth. Never let anything other than individual buds grow vertically.

 

[Harvest Time]

cool thanks, what about an outdoor sativa? can i tell it tough shit your inside and expect it to cooperate?

 

[Harvest Time]

wow man those are pretty huge? mind if i ask which strain?

Ok here is the part I cant figure out.

Are you simply keeping the plant under the screen or are you weaving it through the openings?

After this is answered I may have a few more questions.

Thanks

 

[Harvest Time]

id say weaving through would make most sense? no?

 

[Harvest Time]

or even keep it under for as long as i can control and get the most bud sites then get a few more by weavin it through.

 

[noone4u]

one would think. But why would just keeping it under the screen not also make sense?

 

[Harvest Time]

I say y not? more bud sites for more bud for me!!! but anyone had experience forcing typically outdoor plants to be grown indoors? does it only require more space?

The plant above is a Destroyer from Canna BioGen. I've also done Thunks at 17-23 weeks of 12/12.

I don't weave. I kept it below until buds form and once allowed through the screen, super crop and tie downs. Note the twist tie at 3 O'clock? I untied and lifted the stem to take the shot. This stem grew into one of the two colas posted above.



I feel it was a mistake to allow my Thunks to grow vertically. Some of the colas were over 20 inches tall. The Destroyer colas were 20 inches "long" but, only 6 inches "tall" The 14" difference represents a HUGE loss of light.

which are those in the bottom pic? thunks? would you say you can yeild more from a sativa in scrog indooors than and indica?

 

[FreezerBoy]

The bottom shot is the Thunk. Which yields more? Too many variables. But, which would you rather have? A pound of weed you love or a kilo of weed you hate? Grow what you like to smoke.

One fair warning about sativa's. Forget about the plant's potential, concentrate on maxing the CABS potential. You'll end up throwing out 50-80% of what the plant could do without the cabs limitations (unless you're using a whole room for a cab)

 

[Harvest Time]

fair enough... true i figured space would be a huge factor...as far as grow what you like to smoke, i think thats the best advice ive gotten yet! hahaha

Great call man! Too many people want yield these days, too much shit is floating around because of that, people need to focus on quality not quanity!

if you check my grow diary there's a 16week+ sat. and some pics of how i trained it to a foot square modular scrog screen ( just about getting away with it so far ), my cab is 3.5' high so scrog is a great way of eating up some of the height of a sativa .

I will germinate a super silver haze tomorrow or the day after. It's supposed to be a bit less stretchy then a pure sativa but it still grows pretty tall . I grow in a 60x60cm (2x2ft) cab with a 250w hps. Should i start 12/12 when it reaches the height i want or should i wait til about half the space is filled? I was thinking the later, but i would hate to have those looong, airy colas.

How long is the flowering period? If its over 14 weeks, I'd 12/12 from the start.

 

[70's rock]

It's supposed to finish in just 10-11 weeks. Fast for a haze.

Oh, i really like the way you use your screen, most people stop training once they switch to 12/12, but your method must be more efficient with stretchy sativas combined with low wattage lighting.

Another thing, my cab is qiute tall, 2 meters so i'm not really restricted because of that, i just want to get the most out of my plant.

a friend of mine weaves them through the net for the first couple weeks in flower and, he has the biggest yields I've ever seen, about 2 pounds per thousand watt light. although I think he vegs for about 2 months.
