Screen of green
Cultivation specialist Danny Danko answers all of your burning questions about being the simplest grower you'll be able to be. Transplant clones into larger containers as soon as you see roots beginning from the underside of your chosen rooting medium. Oxygenated compost tea is often used as a foliar feed or a soil drench for a light dose of nutrients. Always quarantine any new clones coming into your grow space in an exceedingly separate area to stop the spread of pests and pathogens. Subject: Screen of Green From: Kind Ray I keep hearing about the “screen of green” technique, but I can’t really determine what it means. There’s plenty of conflicting info online. What exactly is it, and the way I am able to use it to extend my yields? Dear Ray, The “screen of green” technique (also called SCR OG for short) could be a trellis-based plant-training method that maximizes harvests by utilizing all available canopy space. A screen made up of string, nylon netting, or metal meshing is secured horizontally above plant level.
As your plants grow to achieve the peak of your chosen trellising material, you physically guide and tuck the individual shoots and branches into the empty spaces on the screen. As you approach the flowering stage, most if not all of the holes become crammed with shoots that may each become a flower. Keep in mind that so as to use SCR OG properly, you may have to increase your vegetative time to fill out the screen. The additional few weeks of vegging will end in larger harvests, but you need to consider the added time to your growing schedule. Many SCR OG growers remove the lower branches below the cover so as to stimulate more growth up top. Because the buds fill out so closely together, air circulation is extremely important at the cover level to avoid mold and growth stagnation. SCR OG-style growing is additionally an excellent thanks to tame stretchy, longer-flowering Sativa-dominant strains in addition.
Subject: Heat and Lighting From Overwhelmed Husband: I’m a nonsmoker with a hemp-patient wife within the southern lake area. I’ve decided to prevent counting on others for my wife’s medicine and made the choice to grow some different strains for her. I’m a complete rookie when it involves growing weed, though, and I’m piecing together a setup. I currently have a 3′ x 3′ tent that I’m ready to fit into a walk-in closet. I’m getting a 4-inch vent/carbon-filter setup which will vent room-temperature air (68° F) into the tent and out into an attic, with the tent being negatively pressurized. I've got many questions, but I’ll keep it only to 2. First, should I heat the incoming air? Second, what light should I purchase for a 3′ x 3′ tent which will veg and flower? I’m visiting begin with two plants and hopefully get to 6 rather quickly. I’ve weighed my options and that I think I’ve narrowed it right down to LED or CMH. But maybe I’m way off and that I should be gazing MH and switching to HPS to flower? Dear OH, First, you are doing not must heat the air coming into your growing space. Sixty-eight degrees is fairly ideal, and, looking on the sunshine you select, the temperature is also somewhat higher in your space, so act accordingly. Take care to bring the cool air in from the lower a part of the tent. LED (or light-emitting diode) lighting will create less heat, but you'll not be pleased with the scale and density of your buds. CMH (or ceramic metal halide) lighting generates more heat but will end in a heavier harvest of full buds. My suggestion is to travel with the CMH lighting but invest in a fan to get rid of hot air from the upper level of your tent.
