I have been asked now by a number of people do to a grow journal so I’m putting this together. This grow that I’m putting in this journal has been harvested already, so it’s more like an afterthought than a grow journal, but my next indoor grow probably won’t start for a couple of months so I’m putting this out there now for all the nice people that asked.

She was actually a clone
I don’t like Rockwool so I have been gently pulling it off of my clones lately to expose the roots
All these pics were in days 1-5 after moving her to the hydroponic system…

Coming up next I will be explaining “the fim” process that I did to her.

“The FIM”
So, I don’t do a conventional FIM, I continually give FIM “haircuts” and let the bottom growth catch up to the top growth, and because I FIM it instead of topping it, I don’t lose my terminal growth shoot.
This was the day I turned the top feed off, you can see the clay drying up!
At this point I had fimmed this spot three times already. All three shoots are growing out evenly
The bottom growth is beginning to catch up as I keep “fim haircutting”
After awhile she begins to take the shape I’m looking for

Veg & The Scrog
I don’t have much headroom and I like my plants short so I set the scrog at ten inches above the Hydro grow bucket.
I don’t really like “tucking” so what I do is I let the branches grow about 6"-8" through the trellis, super crop them at the trellis, bend them over and tie them down
That takes me through most of the veg stage. These last two pics are in the middle of the stretch
You can see is the end of veg and she’s in desperate need of a hardcore manicure.
Coming up next I will cover the flowering stage!!

Flowering
This is the stage where is fun for all of us and I especially like watching it unfold in the scrog but it requires allot of manicuring.
I really cleaned up underneath to try and focus bud production all on top where the light is. Above, in veg, it wasnt near this clean
At one point I was spending about an hour a night tying everything down
Her stalk was getting bigger too
And allot of people have seen this pic
At seven weeks into flower I undid all the tie downs so buds buried underneath could begin to get light also.
Before
After
Next up will be “the finish”

“The Finish”
So, at the end of her life I had real problems trying to clean my nutrient water completely out of my reservoir. Well if you can’t clean it all out then naturally its gonna be a little hard to take your Ppms down to 0 to try an initiate “the finish”, therefore I tried something a little more unconventional and tried doing “nutrient lockout through pH adjustment”. The last week I ran my pH anywhere from 7.5 - 9 causing lockout where I wouldn’t have to take my Ppms to zero. It produced some cool colors

My take is that there is not much value to it because there is not allot of power in those strips, also the wall will be your area of the most intense light because you are getting the light from the fixture plus the walls reflection of the light back to the plant, my biggest buds are always closer to the wall.
If I was gonna do extra lighting I would think about doing it from underneath with some “big lights”.
Leaves photosythesize on the top and “breathe” on the bottom, however, leaves are also transparent which allows them to take in light and use it anyways, although not to the same degree as light on top.
Also, buds that are not on top and down lower in the canopy and are shaded by upper buds, can benefit from under lighting also.
They have these vertical hps setups that I have seen people stretch out on the floor under the plant
See this vertical HPS tube?
This is what I seen people stretch out on the floor for under lighting

I want to achieve your scrog style with buds from top to bottom no lollipop. What kind of lights underneath would u suggest? The light u pictured or if u has a choice something else?
