Just set up my new girl in her new home been waiting for my other grow to finish first so she was a bit bigger than I intended.
Using a 200wt led and a 90wt led with some supplementary T5's. 2 5ltr water bottles with yeast and sugar to supp co2 and have a small extraction unit that pulls 80ltr a minute

Made a screen yesterday and have a water dish with a hose attached not in yet for any run off. Wanted to go coca fibre but will leave that for another day. I have 3 other smaller plants but not sure if I will add one or not. It was a bit hard getting the screen over her and threading the branches. the clone is 6 weeks old.

So please anyone has any advice or suggesting please fire away. I will update the thread as she grows. cheers. One question the pot is 10" accross by 12" could it do with being bigger?

Switched to 12/12, Started to fill screen. 21/2 weeks in to flower. Using ionic bloom nute, big bud, silicon, bit of sugar. Learnt from last grow that led lights will bleach out buds if too close. Its looking good plant in 35ltr pot.

Question everything seems ok, but noticed lots of tiny leaves just in the scrog cover curling up and falling off is this due to no light and normal.

some pics of leaves. its only leaves by and around the screen the rest seem fine. One thought is it is a run off so it drains very well I give it 5Lt water evry 2-3 days until half runs off. The ph is 6.5.

Get more leaves chopped of from below and at screen height, some will die of especially if not getting light, i wouldn`t worry too much so long as it aint spreading fast.

Thanks mate will have a good look tommoz and thin it out a bit. Should I keep all the fan leaves above screen. Why do they drop off like this? Is it the lack of air flow + lack of light. cheers mate ur sound.

You gonna get more and more dying of as plant starts to flower, they will yellow and crisp up, even more so when you introduce pk boost and as said i find its those that dont get light more than others. On thinning out id take lots of at the screen too and those just above sitting on the screen i think this is were i fucked up with mine, even more so if they heavy on foliage.

Well going in for an opp next week, and just caught a tiny bit of bud rot on one Kola so decided to chop a week or so early. Happy with the results. Heres some pics from early in the week.

And cut and then roughly trimmed it weighs .6 Kg so recon I should get about 6oz. The trichs are 80% milky and 15% clear and tiny bit of amber, Its a Sativa dominant plant. It lost a lot of yellow leaves this last couple of weeks as the plant took up the remaining nute's so it was almost there I think?

Scrog is the way to go imo but just watch the buds at screen level they get very bushy, and make sure you have a good run off system.
