Grow Mediums Think Different ScrOG. 4x4 Flood Drain table with CO2.

have you got both lights on yet dude?
Yeah, total of 1250 watts although I haven't been using Co2. Too much heat from the liquid cooled generator. So this is basically a straight up General Hydroponics grow. No root stimulator at all on this grow, and the table is just a Mat of healthy white roots.
 
They don't look like that Taviddude :crying:? There is something wrong with this foto :)

Think different is a monster of a plant and you have 5. I just can't imagine what would it be :hot:
Haha, yeah I took a picture right as I turned the lights back on. I don't know why I even posted that, they look like shit, lol.
Looks like a dying crop, lmao.
 
got a bit of a fright meself lol are u removing fan leaves under the screen:peace: sj
 
can u give us a picture under the sgrog. did u use any ties thanks:peace: sj

Yeah, it's pretty much a nescecity now as it's really turned into a jungle of leaves. I'm going to spend tomorrow really stuffing leaves everywhere I can. I did remove the undergrowth on two of the plants to see how they do. I know auto's don't like to be stressed like that, so I'm just kind of experimenting to see what works.

Sure, I'll get some pics up tomorrow. I just started using ties to bring down some of the larger shoots. Some of the colas started growing into their own plants. Some of the plants never totally stop stretching it seems.
 
Update:
Day 49

Here it is after a MASSIVE leaf tucking work over. It looks a bit uneven now. Now that I tucked all the leaves I can see where I need to move and start to tie a few more things. For the last few days I was seeing some deficiencies. Did a rez change to make sure everything was good there, but it didn't seem to help. PH was spot on, and EC was good. I was starting to get pissed at the thought of having to just write them off as nutrient hungry phenos as it only affected the two front plants which were the taller less bushy plants. I couldn't figure out what the feck was going on basically. I routinely check the reservoir for root aphids as I had them once before in one of the bubble buckets on my first grow, but didn't see ANYTHING at all in any rez change I've done so far. Long story short, I pealed the plastic back, and sure shit I had root aphids on the front two plants. :no: It didn't seem to affect the rear plants at all, and I'm guessing it's because the table is on an incline and the plants toward the front are on the low end where there is about an eighth an inch of standing water between floods giving the root aphids what they want. :confused: It's my only guess, but I can tell you that the higher plants had MINIMAL infection, while the front two had it bad.
Anyways, I BLASTED the mofo's. I used 120 ml's of Bayer Tree and Shrub. Using a 1.47% solution of Imidacloprid I actually only used 2500 milligrams(2.5mls) of pure Imidacloprid. in a 40 gallon Rezervoir for 12 hours. No way of knowing how much the plant took up, but I'm personally not worried about the minuscule amount that may make it's way to the buds, and the plants are just starting to flower anyways. I'm not saying that everyone should use this, it's just what I chose to use because I know it works and I had it laying around. From now on I'm going to use nematodes, and some organic stuff as preventative measures since this is my second grow and I've had em twice.
Anyways, after 12 hours the rez was full of dead root aphids. I upped the water level to totally cover the entire root mass and an inch up the stalk of the plant so I got em all. This stuff totally wiped em out last time without any recurrence in those buckets, and I expect it to do the same this time.
It was a relief in a way to figure out what was going on, cause I was stumped. The system was flushed for 3 hours, and replaced with fresh nutes so I'm sure the deficiencies will work them selfs out in the next few days. Onward, and upward. :toke:
Armed with a new sense of optimism I did a major Leaf Tuck job because it had TRULY turned into a jungle in there. Looks a little scraggly now, but I'm sure it'll perk up and fill in again Quickly. Some of the colas are still stretching, and some are already packing on weight. Can't wait to see it a month from now full of BIG BUDS.
Here's some pics.

Day 40.

Got about 70 something decent bud sites. DEFINITELY going to get some weight off this one.
Added another 600 watt HPS which puts it to 1000 watts HPS, and 250 watts MH for a total of 1250 watts on a 4x4 table. Gonna run this the rest of the grow. The ScrOG is shaping up nicely, and I'm expecting a pretty good haul off this one.
Switched to Flowering nutes: General Hydroponics FloraDuo A/B with Floralicious+, Liquid Koolbloom, and Calimagic.
1.1 EC (550 PPM)
PH- 5.7-6.1. Only having to adjust down every 3 days. Really liking the larger reservoir(35 Gal.) in regards to stable PH, and EC.
About a third of the bud sites are already Frosty with Trichomes. Much better than my first grow.
Shitty Computer pics for now till the camera comes home.

Holy crap is that a lot of light!!!!!!! Back in the old days a 400 watt was considered right for 4X4. How many hours per day?
 
Yeah, I'm trying to pull a good load this time around. A 400 will work on a 4X4 area, but 600 would be a better choice. 1250 watts? We'll se how it works out. :cool:
I've got the lights running 20/4.
 
thanks dude,will you keep an eye on growth for next few days, even measure a lighter against a bud im realy interested in the next few days of ur grow (im interested in ur whole grow to):peace: sj
