cheers Verdant. One question: why do you use those sq foot screens?
mad, von, unc, blimey, REDEYE, Strainbrain, apollonio, High Lowlander, barth, K.J, nnep, thanks for the welcome 
OptimusPrime - hi and welcome to icmag! i could write a long answer to your question because there are many reasons, but briefly, the 1 square foot screens are a quarter the size of my cab allowing me to get 4 plants in there - each of which will yeild 2-3+ oz. being individual their heights can be adjusted to get an even canopy. they are small enough to be able to chuck plants in there after usually between 2-4 weeks veg and then fill the screen with stretch (the repot from 1 to 4 gallon pots also encourages stretch).
if that doesnt answer your question then feel free to ask about a specific aspect

right - plants. half the cab is taken up by 4 Deep chunk plants that are not scrogged - for more details check out my thread in the Tom Hill forum. but heres what they are looking like with a week or 2 to go. very odd plants, basically a classic afghan hashplant - no way they could be scrogged from seed but i may try with a cutting as they seem to grow a little more conventionally. i have been doing a 'preservation' seed run with these by keeping pollen from all the males - 5 of them - and using it to pollenate the lower buds on the 4 females, thus keeping as many genetics as possible from this inbred line.
this NL is at 8 weeks and i'll probably chop it next week. i am certain that this has come out more frosty and stinky under the CMH lamp than it did under HPS
nug
and here are the lemon thai vegging up ready for the next round - which will be the 205watt LED grow. these have vegged under my 63 watt unit and have grown pretty fast.
the back right one has what looks like a bit of magnesium def or something which is odd - but as it's the only one it may just be the genetics - i gave them a higher pH watering with a little molasses - hopefully it will grow out of it.
that it for now.

Herijuana is one that's always piqued my interest.....surprised no seed co has it on the boo.
While I'm here.....did you alter the pH of your water for the Black Forrest? I'm thinking ye olde tap water is not totally to it's liking....I suspect it's a little high in the pH.

tricky
great to see you back VG
blimey - i alter the pH of my water for all my plants - i use citric acid powder from ebay and reduce it to around 6. the BF is a bit fussy and mine didnt look hugely happy sometimes when it was young but it seemed to grow out of it. seems to be happiest when the soil is dry.
tricky - thanks mate - its nice to be back!. i was/am very pissed off about what happened but sometimes you just have to try and rise above it - nuff said

Hi again Verdant and thx for the attention
My doubt is: do you let the plants bended like you have in some pics or you adjust them putting the branches in the screen?
i know this screen thing gives very good results and I want to do this but I want to do it the correct way. If you can help me I appreciate your help.
By the way nice work of yours hope one day i'll do the same thing
