TheScrogFrog's 150w HPS

Looking GREAT!! Should be able to hit 3-4oz with ease. I've hit 3+ per 150w in most of my grows so far using many different methods. 12 plant SOG's, 1 plant Scrogs, multi plant LST'ing and/or super cropping. Looking like you're in for a fun ride.

I agree with the PLL from HTG. I'm using it now in my cab as a SOG light and the Strawberry Diesel Kush and Pineapple Express X Cheese N Chaze clones I have under it at the moment are doing PHENOMONAL!

As for the watering issue you had while out of town, I'd suggest looking into Tropf Blumats. They are the single best investment I think I've made. Now that I do no till, organic runs, I barely have to do anything water wise anymore haha. Can leave for weeks at a time without worrying about watering.

For the tents, I don't think any tent out there is light proof. I could be wrong, but from what I've read and experienced, they all seem to have that issue. I have 3 Homebox L and a Clonebox L and all had to be light proofed. I just closed myself up in the tents with the lights on outside and duct taped the piss out of everywhere lol. The tent you're using looks like one a buddy of mine is using, I'll have to ask him how light proof his is.

I'd agree with changing the reflector orientation, I feel you'll get better coverage in your tent with it being rectangle. I was going to run mine similar to you when I was building, mainly for simplicity. The long part of the reflector running parallel with the long part of my cab, but I then read more into it and was advised to run long side of reflector parallel to the short side of my grow area since the reflector reflects perpendicular to the bulb.

I think the Casey's would do quite well in a scrog. Implement that stretch into the screen would help with height issues and create you some more flower sites. I'd love to run some Casey Jones. Have always heard good things about it. I'll be watching. Keep it up.

Thx Cobra, i'll check your grow out when I get some time. I did glance it the other day but didn't have much time. This is my smallest grow in probably 5 years, but it's exactly what I need for personal stash. I'll probably break out the bigger tent this spring, but for now I will rock this little baby. Not sure if I am going to run Casey scrog or something else yet, maybe 2 strains who knows! I'm always undecided. Lol.

3 oz will be a good result for a 150 , not sure on the 'make up' of Casey Jones , I am guessing its something like 70/30 indi-sat , looks like you just managed to keep em under the burn zone ... , let us know how you do yield wise , nice grow :)

Day 44 12/12 Casey Jones

Day 44 12/12 Casey Jones

Been a bit busy, plus not much to see lately. Skyspider yeah I actually have one burnt bud under the bulb that I am about to trim off, it's a side branch but i've bent it down like 20 times and it keeps popping up. At least next time we won't have these issues since we're going with a Scrog. Pictures really hard to tell from, but I think it'll be around 3oz or so, I hope!

Oh, and Casey Jones is a cross of Oriental Express x ECSD v3, as far as I know. Mostly Sativa you are correct. It's a great yielder and smoke and tolerates heat very well too.

I'll take some better pics when it finishes and I can move that reflector out of the way. I need to bend that far right branch down a bit, stretched a little above the reflector. Shit is smelling sweet and sour and killer! Not sure how long I will run it, will see how they look at 65 days.

Those girls are looking all sparkly now, how long do you usually let them go, 10-11 weeks?

they look terrific , and a super strain for a scrog , very 'bendy' , I recon by the looks of them 1-3 weeks more and they will be done ....hopefully they have stopped stretching . Amazing thing about those plants imo is there doesnt seem to be hardly any yellowing ,/crinkly bits, .. they really do look super healthy ... a credit to you :)

I was about to start a diary today , I have some auto's that are fairly big (staggered) and a baby DeLaHAZE , that is vegging alongside them ,the diary was mainly going to be on the dela , and a one plant scrog /..... anyhow ..........
i had the dela balanced on some pots to get it closer to the light ....

you know where this is going right :)

and I closed the cab ... and heard a bang , the poor little week old Dela , upside down with the clay pot on top , I had just watered it so the substrate was like mud

anyhow , I have righted her up and just hope she somehow survives , but it was only a scraggly little baby so I doubt it :(

Will update when things finish up. Very close! Sorry for lack of updates. The upcoming Scrog run i'll try to do weekly updates. Been swamped! Things are looking & smelling amazing! I'm guessing 2.75-3oz or so.

SOON!!!

So is this like a coco type medium? Do you have to provide all nutrient uptake manually? What nutrients are you using? Its all looking v.healthy.

Yeah it's basically just peat moss, coarse perlite, mycorrhizae, and a wetting agent I think. I use maxibloom, cal-mag, protekt, and 250ppm tapwater. It's a very simple method and almost impossible to mess up.

Day 66 12/12 Casey Jones

Coming along fine, been swamped with life, ready to get this shit knocked out so I can move on to my scrog grow. A few dead leaves in there -- I am lazy lol. They can come off when the plants get chopped.

Yield guesses? I'll guess 90g.

Took em at day 69. Probably could have run them another week but I am almost out of smoke and we can't have that. :)

2 rows of Dankass Casey Jones buds, I can't complain.

Yield, Dry shots & Scrog plans coming soon.

Tick tock.
