Shot thanks @Heisenberg! Where have you been bruh? I always worry when one of you guys go missing. Maybe I'm paranoid, lol. As for the training, it's really all that scrogs hard work hey. This is way way easier than LST.

@GLO, I'll do so. I'm close to putting them into flower. I've read that some guys start feeding the flowering regiment 7 days prior to flipping. What are your thoughts on that? They claim to get better yields and less stretch in the first week of 12/12. Also, when I flip them, should I change the on/off gradually?

Sjoe guys, avo's always make me laugh hey! My sister had 2 huge avo trees at her place, when I was muuuuuch younger I was playing outside under said tree. Those avo's are hard hey! One of them plikked me on the kop, hahaha! That thing must've hit like an asteroid. THAT KNOB THOUGH!

I suppose cutting the preflowers off wont work hey?

Thanks again for the help Glo. Ja hey, its a bit kak working under that net! I need kiddie hands under there. 

The babies are going, but I fear another one's a male, I can't really tell just yet. Is it possible for a female to get pollinated during veg? 

Alice is branching out nicely... 

How tall are they?

ok, noted, we'll see what happens

You can't use aact with hydro bud

I'm not doing hydro GLO.

@cheese420, the JGS Orgasoilux basically buggered my plants slowly. I just got a bad batch. Everyone else's worked out for them. They yellowed and didn't feed the plant as explained by Jamie. If you check my grow log, you'll see the issues I had.

I'm using this now, https://hydroponic.co.za/hydroponics/coco-compact-potting-soil/ without any issues. Straight btw, no perlite. Wets very easily, even when it's gone too long without water.

@420SA, I bought some of this https://hydroponic.co.za/hydroponics/calcium-magnesium-nitrate/ so i have it incase the need arises. Wanna see how it goes with the trio, aact. When do you use the silica? I'm flipping them next week.

Sup @cheese420

It's my first grow, never used nutes before. They were all started in JGS organic soil, but I had issues with that medium. On the next pot up I put them into "smart garden" compact coco potting soil. They ran for 2 months without feeding. I'm using normal tap water with a pH of 6.8, the medium's pH is the same.

On Monday I fed them for the first time, but I only gave them 1ml of each in 2L of water. NO BURN! Watered them yesterday. I'll feed again tomorrow, but I'll use the 1.4ml as directed on the feeding chart.

Howzit folks

I recently purchased the Nutriplex trio from GTHydro, very friendly guys. They gave me a mixing chart. Thought I'd share it with you guys. Pretty helpful for a noob like me

+1 on what @4207365 said. I germinated alot of beans over the months.  A 24 hour soak and then into the medium seems to work well.

Sup guys. My comeback kid, Alice. This is my first grow, so naturally my first scrog too. Many many lessons learnt. Thanks to everyone who offered advice and helped out with the problems! and and a special thank you coco compact potting soil

Shot @GLO, I've started trimming down on all the plants. Alot of the leaves just fell off when touched. It's a mission to work under there coz the net's super close to the top of the pots. Anyway, I won't have that issue with the next grow.

So it's occurred to me that CFL's light penetration is really super kak. At canopy level, the reading is 55848.78 lux and below it's 116.95541 lux. I plan on putting the plants into flower in about a week or 2. I'll be using 5 x 26w 2700k and 1 or 2 of these 45w 6500k. I'm thinking of adding whatever other 2700k bulbs I have laying around. Would the extras be better at the top or should I put them under the net at the base of the canopy?

The reason behind me thinking it would be better underneath is coz quite a bit of the new growth is coming from the underside of the stem (very little light).

That's where I'd put them if they were to go underneath.

Thoughts? Advice?

Thanks GLO! My flash is always off, the cab is rather bright 

How's your knowledge on scrogging? If I don't trim under then net, would the yield be greatly affected?

These two are now in their final pots. They haven't shown sex yet, so hopefully that'll happen soon. I plan to put them into flower in about 2-3 weeks. I estimate that my net should be 75% full by then. I wish I knew which strains they are though.

@Sir Smokalot, thanks for suggesting the CCPS! That was the game changer

Shot @420SA, I'm feeling lucky 

What happens if you have more than one plant that you'd like to enter?

Update on Alice...

For those of you who scrog, what would happen if I don't chop the leaves on the underside of the net? I have miscalculated my working space.

Noted @kimcarsons  Technically they not scrogging yet. They're raised to the net to get closer to the light. Nothing's tied down, so can move those ones around. Once they show sex, I'll pot up.

Hahahaha! That's not Alice! Excuse me while I rid my cab of this bastard. Shot GLO!

Ok, so this isn't Alice, but it's in the cab with her. I suspect it's a male. Can I get some confirmation please guys.

@Jellytot, if you're planning on growing in your closet, I suggest 1st getting your ambient temp. If it's higher than 25 degrees in there, you could have issues with heat this time of year. Then also, a carbon filter would help with the smell and choose a strain that doesn't smell much. Apparently northern light isn't very stinky. Watering shouldn't be an issue if your pots have those saucer thingies. I drilled a small hole in mine with a piece of pipe that leads into a bottle to catch the run off. Another thing is the extraction fan, a good 120mm silent pc fan can move enough air in a small space.

I'm still a noob at this, busy with my 1st grow, and these are issues I had initially. Also, I suggest getting some of that CCPS as your growing medium, it worked wonders for my plants.

Start with bag seed, just to get a feel for it. 

Fantastic! Now you don't have to start from scratch :-hilariousscrog it! BONSAI!

Shit bro that's a real bummer! I feel you did the right thing though. Imagine getting caught and you're not even a smoker!

Shot GLO. The wood's been varnished, so it should be fine...
