Stoney grows Honey Fried Bananas in RDWC SCROG

You can flip now if you want but your waiting for the screen huh


Looks like that screen will fit right over the top, once light schedule flips, they'll grow right into their squares, each square needs to be filled, collect rent on each tenant.

He’s waiting for them to be higher so the net squishes them down. He’s following CG’s method.

Dayum that's a bushy bitch, high ppfd or blue ratio?

it was heavy blue and white with only half the amount of red.

just today i bumped the red up to a pre flower spectrum. so right now starting today reds and whites are up and blue down half. i'll drop that blue down to just 40% once we see pistils.

most of the wattage of these lights come from the red diodes so just that spectrum change also increased the ppfd.

1 thing came to mind, light penetration to lower nodes when a plant is that bushy and tight node spacing.

yes this could be a concern. one thing i have gong for me is those lights.. CLW uses Osram diodes, the best in the biz when it comes to penetration!!!

nothing is really stretching bad or growing slow so i'm gonna keep the course.. believe me man i never intended to grow them like this, they did it all on their own!!

this whole time i could have been defol mode but honestly, it took me a year of looking at sad dead seedlings over and over so if these plants wanna grow leaves i'm gonna let them!!!!!!!!!

it feels damn good being able to grow them after all this so i'm not trimming anything until i absolutely have to.

i agree, i could. but for this first time ever using a screen and net i asked Granny for her guidance and want to go by her book and just like Zen said, we're waiting for at least six inches taller than the screen to squash and put pressure on the tops. it's that same time when i'll lollipop the bottoms out.. some of the lower branches might not even make the screen and will most likely get trimmed off.

it won't be much longer though man... i'm really hoping for next weekend. and a few friends here have also recently flipped or just getting ready to as well so it will be cool to flower out with close to the same timing.

and the seeds for my next round of soil are getting dropped this weekend!!! all kinds of fun stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would say give them a nice trim before the screen goes down. It'll be a bitch to get to the back part of those suckers once they get the smash and mesh with the screen.

Or wait for the screen and strip everything below it.

I just have hermie PTSD and it would suck to try and pluck anything in the back without a clear path.

for sure man. i plan to set a bucket with solution on a short swivel table and park a comphy ass chair right in front of it and go to town!!!

i need to make an imaginary line around them to have a trim line to go by. you know how that is once ya get rolling with scissors its easy to go to far!! my general rule of thumb with all living plants is never prune more than 40% of the plant, so i have a feeling i'm gonna be close to that and want to have a guide to go by.. maybe pick up some of that spray snow stuff and spray all the stuff i wanna get rid of!!! hahaha

.

something else i need to drop back on is my auto top off. it was working perfect with a small amount of top off solution but now that i've filled the barrel is creates a little too much pressure and even after the pump shuts off the line continues to siphon into the rez. the one night i caught it with like 1/8" of room before it would have overflowed!!! all the roots got washed that night!!!! hehehe

so i need to make a vacuum break in the line, after messing with it for a few minutes i think i can get away pretty ez with an eight or ten inch piece of bigger tubbing to let air past the liquid.

for now i'm just running it only when i'm right there.
