Help with scrog please

[OrganicConnoisseur]

Wow everything is looking great Tiger! Hmm I see. If you wait another 10-14 days there should be no reason to have to touch the screen at all it would just consist of more tucking and weaving and hypothetically by the time you leave they should be the same height ( net and all ) as today ( give or take ) because they will continue to get tucked. I hope that helps.

Do you leave the big fan leaves below the screen or bring them up through with the top?

 

[Greenhouse;save]

U should no the answer to that question. ......?common sense my friend....

 

[Tigerpaws]

I read that you don't really need the fan leaves in a scrog. So no I don't know the correct answer or what most people do.

Does it look like I'm doin it right? Gonna flip the lights in a few days.

Your setup is awesome, after seeing it I've decided to redo my room one side at a time to do the sake type of setup. Going to try that instead of running the same old rdwc I've been doing

Nice! Is that a corner table?

Yes my room is 8x8 split in half making 2 4x8 rooms.
I wanted to maximize space and still be able to move around so I felt like L shaped tables would work best.
The drain is in the back corner and just drains through a hose right back into the resevoir.
I'm using 1/4 line coming from a water pump in the res to top feed all plants on the table..
I dint see a ton of people do it this way and I'm trying to figure out what the negatives are going to be.. so far I see none, but only time will tell.
My 600w hps and 6 inch fan will be here in a couple hours

My last tent was FD scrog 4x4 tray...13 plants,what I found out was 1 screen is not enough support for the weight of the buds...best idea is to add the second screen before it is 2 late to get in there!

So its week one of 12/12 and I've run out of room to tuck. What should I do now?

I think the second screen might be my best bet. They are getting tall and I just flipped the lights 4 days ago and I'm pretty much out of room to tuck without breaking them.

Raise screen a little or tie down some of the taller ones. you could also pinch them bend them over (HST). It want hurt them or your yield.

Doesn't the HST raise the chance for Hermie?

You should be able to just start crossing them over one another until they stop stretching ( week 2 -3 of flower). That is what I do once all my holes are filled, but I have more " stretch time". That should solve your problem. Also what I think ^ he meant was LST ( Low Stress Training ). LST is fine to do in flower as long as it is done softly. You don't want to accidentally Super-Crop in Flower. So cross them over each other and practice some LST and you should have no problems. Hope this helps

One more option that might be easier TigerPaws is to leave the netting in place and then add a second netting on top to help. They are all a pretty good distance from the netting though... Overall if you have the " light headroom " there won't be a crazy amount of stretch left and they are all really level so hypothetically if you have the height you could just let them continue to grow "as is". Just make sure the lights are as close as you could possibly get them to help lessen the stretch and I think you should be fine. Looks great though!

So far all the tucking I have done is below the screen. So when you say "cross them over each other" do you mean above the screen or still below? They have stretched quite a bit in just a couple of days. I fear breaking branches if I try to pull them down through now. I keep trying to upload a side view pic but it won't let me. I'd say they are 6-8" above the screen now. Thank you so much for helping me BTW!

 

[Tigerpaws]

A couple of the taller branches I actually pulled down to the screen with soft garden wire.

The tucking is done below. The problem right now is plants are so far from the screen the tucking might not be a option because they are too tall to bend down . To keep this from happening you have to keep tucking tucking constantly until the stretch is over. Somewhere a long the lines you stopped tucking ( no problem though) If you were to tuck anything then you would have to tuck everything to ensure everyone is the same height. For that reason it may be better to just add another screen on top, but to be completely honest with you. If that was my SCROG and I had the head room for the lights I wouldn't touch anything. They are really level "almost instagram level" and they wont stretch more than another 2-3" max. Less if you move your lights as close as possible.
