Feed back on my grow(and scrounging)

A SCROG starting to take shape:

View attachment 4643791

Spreading this plant (and her neighbor to the left) to 2 square feet of bud potential before we flower.

Sorry folks ... so far, all I have seen are support trellis.

Do you build these yourself? I'm on my first grow. I bought some trellis netting with 6 inch squares. What you have here and what I've seen other people with proper scrogs looks the holes are much smaller. I haven't attempted to scrog yet as plants are still only in week 2 of veg, and I plan on going a bit longer. Once they start to get bushy I planned on putting something in.

I was actually just reading this article.

Use the "Screen of Green" technique to create an even cannabis canopy and get bigger yields from your grow lights. This tutorial will show you how...

I am going to scrap the trellis and use this leftover PVC I have to build a stackable PVC scrog. I cant figure out if I want to do 2.5" or 3" between holes though. 3" would make sense because I have a 60"x60" tent, so I will probably go with that.

I might try something like this later down the road.

Yup. 1" x 1" wood trim and 90" angle brackets to make the frame. 1/2" wood screws every 2" to string the twine and make the mesh. That is basic parcel twine to make the net. The wood frame keeps the shape of the net when the plants get large.

PVC works well too. As long as the frame can help the net to remain tight, you are golden

Word! Yea I'm going to stick with the pvc for now since I already started building it but next I'm going to try the floating design I posted in the video above. Thanks for the reply dude!

PVC is even easier to use. You can get fittings that the pipe slips into and onto the frame of the tent.

Could you link what you're talking about? My plan was just to ziptie to the poles.

Im not sure if they make the exact shape im thinking of but if not you could modify this one.

You would just drill/cut a hole following the red arrow so that the tent pole slides through it and then you just slip the pvc poles where they go.

Slick idea. I will have to try that next time. I am using those exact connectors. I already laced er up so I don't think it's possible now, plus I'd have to kind of disassemble the tent.

Yup, best to install them when you are assembling the tent.

My netting needed to be mobile. Space restrictions wouldn't allow a second tent and even though I find "bud stink" is awesome, others here are not so keen on it so I didn't want to flower them in the open basement.

The wood trim frame worked better for net mobility than the PVC pipe. I spread the girls during VEG then move the entire SCROG into FLOWER.

Im not sure whats so immobile about pvc vs wood....

 

[StareCase]

I know that a PVC frame is just as mobile.

But I thought that it was just a little heavier than the wood trim pieces. But since the canopy supports the frame when I move the plants, I just didn't want any extra weight to possibly mess the canopy during transition to flower.

That was all ...

Hey guys, just hoping some could take a look at my current grow and give me some feedback. I am also scrogging on this grow and I’m beginning to tie the tallest branches to the net to promote upward growth. Is this a good idea? I’ve read that beginners shouldn’t scrog and this is my first grow. But I’m not an idiot and have enough background knowledge to know what I am doing to some extent.

How’s this? Built it yesterday for less than 8$

Here's how mine came out...
