In this article I show you track a variety autoflowering made in very specific conditions (in terms of consumption of light) and limited space. In this chapter we intend to demonstrate that cannabis cultivation is possible in almost any space and / or height. In our case we will work with a team of 150w sodium vapor 90cmx90cmx70cm space ( growtent measures DR90Twin).
In this article we will detail how to make a crop such SCROG (screen of green, or green screen). For this we will use a team of 150w sodium vapor and DR90Twin top of the cabinet (90x90x70).
Analysis of the place and the power available:
In our case we have an area of 90cm x 90cm x 70 cm. As is well known 70cm high is very fair for conventional breeding parameters. Plants easily exceed that height and still would need space for focus + distance between it and plants.
Solution to the problem of height:
SCRoG crops rely on the placement of a mesh between plants and focus. This network will maintain the plants, previously entangled in it, at a constant distance from the light.
In our closet , once fixed the light to the top of the cabinet structure , with a team of 150w need a network distance between lamp and not less than 15cm . Network placed at that distance we still have 40cm in height ( 70cm - 15cm Reflector - 15cm distance light / plant) .
Knowing what heights we just , we decided to sacrifice the pot size in favor of increased distance to the network, knowing that this will force us to make irrigation more frequently by the lower volume of land available .
Once ready the space Escojido placed mesh and pot size and just have to decide the number of plants that we use :
The SCROG type usually done with one or more plants in large containers . These plants will be interwoven through the mesh to cover the total area of the network.
From here, epecialmente for being autoflowering genetic varieties (which have a limited growth time ) , we recommend the use of a larger number of plants to streamline the process and make sure we cover the mesh completely.
Once germinated the seeds , put your sprouts in substrate quality and the final pot .
After 24 hours in the pot the young stems begin showing up off the ground as seed cotiledos completely open .
48h after germination and the cotyledons fully opened we ready to do its function.
After 4 days of germination already see the first pair of true leaves fully formed .
15 days after germination observed the growth of the first nodes of the plant.
3 weeks from germination : Plants already showing 3 pairs of leaves and steady growth daily . The network begins to approach .
After 4 weeks of starting plants and are able to fill the space (even if the grower is despita exceed the mesh).
