of you scrog you will still have to use some sort of tie downs to train them, i use cheap string from dollar tree and drill a hole right in the bucket (obviously in a place its not going to make a difference)

i make a loop at one end of string and tie it then thread other end through and put that loop on the plant,,then just tie down the reg end to the bucket. they never come loose.

here took some pics, its a really easy way to tie down and works great.

Matt, congrats on baby girl :) sorry I wasn't around but had some teeth work done and I was out for few days :( But I'm back and sh*t haha
Plant's looking awesome :) My two girls them bitches are stretching like crazy, I'm slowly running out of fucking space...both of the plants are about 13-14inches above the screen so I don't think I'll pull any serious weight from this grow.. oh well haha
Here's one photo of what I'm talking about haha hope you don't mind Matt for posting pic's.

dam yeah man your gonna have a height issue for sure, can you pull them tops down through the screen a bit and tie em? just to shorten em up a bit? you def dont want em on the glass for that light they will burn and then growth gets fucked up, happened to my last plant.

Yeah that's the only thing I'm worried about, height... I still got like 8 inches that I can go up, but I don't know. I'm thinking about scraping this fucking grow and start all over again but then I would loose a lot of time.. so I don't know. What you think? You think I still can pull something out of this fuckers?

some of my best yeilders stretched a shit load, last plant i did stretched so much i had to cut down the 5 main colas because they were burning on the lights at about week 7. abut 1 oz per cola..then the rest of the plant gave me another 4 oz..

LST them, tie down and work em so that they have room..dont ditch 2+ moths of time because they are stretchy lol

get a bag of zip ties, and get into that room!!!!

get under the screen and each branch coming through pull it back down through the screen as much as you can without breaking it and zip tie that bitch...then tomorow do it again untill she starts flowering...then you can dea with under the screen afterwards.

Yeah I'll just leave it as is and try to tie them bitches down some how. I'm just waiting for a bit cooler temps like in the 60's so I can blast my 600w, and that would probably penetrate all the way down to the screen. Oh well I'll just wait and see :)
