Then as you can see, I moved the plants out under the 1000w Dual Arc. Now both my tables are filledand it feels good to have a full house! Because I let them go so long without any training, they hadabout 6-8 inches of vertical growth from each of the tops, so I wanted to get them ScrOG'd out as soonas possible. I built the 2 layer individual screens last night, and put them onto the plants this morning.Here's what that looked like directly after:

You can see I made a couple slight modifications to the screen design. The first being that I droppedthat crap plastic pre-made screen that I used last round. I spent way too much time hassling with the variations in square size and it didn't tu rn out nearly as perfect as I had hoped so I decided to scrap itthis round. In its place I used unwaxed green tomato twine that I got from Home Depot in a massive

spool for very cheap. I tied my own pattern in the circle using the attachment points I had available,and I will tie my own grid across the top before the plant gets that tall.

The second modification that I made is the 'bowl' shaping of the 4 screens together. If you look at thelast picture above, you can see a little of what I'm talking about, but it is tough to take a picture in agood perspective. I made each individual screen have a tilt to it, one corner is high, while the oppositecorner is the lowest, and then the middle 2 corners are at an equally middle height. The bowl shapeshould help me keep my light as low as possible, without having the bulb to close to the tops directly below it. The design is only slightly different from my last run, so I hoping to be able to work well with itand maybe we will see some real FIRE!

And for anyone who was curious a bout the process of making the screen, here is a photo step by step tohelp you in this very simple process. The first step does't have a photo, sorry, but it is super simple if

your have the right product to start with. From Home Depot, purchase 'GrowTall 18 in. x 36 in. DoublePlant Support' and for every 3 plant site you want to prepare a screen for, you will need to purchase 4GrowTall Supports. They are super cheap, only a few dollars, so they will work on a massive scale, but you may want to consider the labor time because it takes about 15-25 minutes to build one of these sothat time can add up if you are making 100. Anyways, so the first step is to open 2 of your GrowTall'sand remove one leg from the first GrowTall by unhooking the rings and sliding a leg off like you woulda key on a key chain. And then add that leg to the other GrowTall the same way you took it off. Now you should have a GrowTall with 4 legs on it, and you are ready to start where my pictures begin!

Step 2: Tie or tape the bottom ring together so it doesn't try to come unhooked while you work with thesupport.

Step 3: Slide the legs around the ring so that are as equally space as possible. Tape the legs in theirplace on the lower ring.

Step 4: Remove the top ring by unhooking it and sliding it out of each leg.

Step 5: Bend each leg just above the loop for the lower ring, the bend should be to the height you wouldlike you second screen level to be.

Step 6: Measure your distances and cut bamboo (or a straight object of your choosing) to fit the span between each ring at the top of your legs. This is usually between 22 and 28 inches. If you want asquare, make sure you are cutting all the same length.

Step 7: With the bamboo placed through each top ring, tightly tie or tape off each corner to secure the bamboo to the ring and in place.

Step 8: Repeat for each corner, I use string and tape for my corners.

7/27/2019 Log 2 Page 7

12/16

Step 9: Use string or other screen material of your choosing to tie a pattern or grid across the bottomring.

Step 10: Match the plant support next to your flowering pot size and determine how high above the top

of the pot you want you lower screen. Cut the legs based on height desired. I remove about 8" off eachleg for my setup.(Sorry no picture)

Step 11: Slide the plant support over your plant, pulling the tops out as far as they will go as you push itdown.

Step 12: Tie a pattern or grid of your choosing across the top screen layer before the plant grows to thatheight.

Well, I hope anyone who is interested in following my process can u nderstand these steps, and if notplease message me, or post here and I would love to help more. Thanks for checking out my journaland stay tuned because I made the flip to 12/12 today so we are about to see these ladies go off!:icon_spin:

Thanks Shady, I wish there was a product that was designed for what I need, but sadly GH or someother big hydro company hasn't made one yet. Out of necessity I made this, and I am pretty happy withit.

Haha creativity is not one of my strong suits, I like growing indoors because there are rules to growingand then the plant does all the creative work for you! Best of both worlds, I don't need to be creative, but I end up with a creative product. In this case, I think I lucked out finding the product I did, andthen sorta just played around with it until I had something I liked. Creative or resourceful, either way,I'm happy I don't have to make any more of them! Thanks for checking things out Kushluvr.

Here is what they looked like tonight before the light went out, not even a full day after being pushedout under the first screen layer.

I just wanted to put this out there so people don't make the same mistake I made. Do Not buy Quantum ballasts to work with Eye-Hortilux's Dual Arc bulbs! I just went into my room to find one of my bulbs blown out for the 3rd time! Luckily my hydro store replaces them for me for free, but the hassle of

having to hurry over to the hydro store to swap a bulb is not worth it at all! I am using a 1000w Eye-Hort. HPS over the White Urkle table now and we will see whether it is my Quantum ballast blowing out bulbs or if it was the dual arcs problem. Just a heads up for anyone interested in the Dual-Arcs, they put out a great spectrum, very natural daylight looking, especially now that I have it next to a 1000w HPS for comparison, but I have no idea if they help yield or trichome production or anything because Ihave yet to do a full side by side grow. What I do know as a fact, is that the combo of Quantum andHortilux Dual Arc is a fucking nightmare and you should never do it.

The really annoying thing is that my hydro store pushed me into the Quantums saying that they hardly get any returns on that company, then I go in and talk to them earlier this week about it, and they say they don't remember recommending the Quantums and would pick a different equally priced brand(can't remember the name right now) over Quantums any day. unch Pretty stupid if you ask me,sounds like I got pushed into clearing out their Quantum stock and now they have a different company to get rid of. . . hopefully I can get all this crap worked out so my girls aren't experiencing any moremid-day solar eclipse.

On a more positive note, the girls are super happy and they will be given the first dose of floweringnutrients today or tomorrow. I will put up some pictures later but there isn't much to see, just the startof some pistil formation.
