I'm training individual girls to be woven into the screen and stretched.
Not just placing a screen over them and letting them poke through.

Weaving takes patience and a bit of sativa properties to grow through
and develop bud sites. The more bud sites the better. An indica is to robust and unforgiving for the way I do it.
Got some bushy teens coming that don't get scrogged. May do something wild if I get the timing right.


Do the scrog correctly and the results are huge, even canopies
of nice large buds.

Scrogged these 3 last Winter.
2 gal Smart Pots
Veg for 30 days prior to 12/12 I believe
Screen 2in x 2in SQUARE PVC netting from Lowes & 8in above pots
1in PVC frame w/ tray 7in above ground for drip trays to catch run-off
Net was 20in x 20in
Harvested at 8 weeks and approx 2oz per plant

Notice the first pic. That's how you're supposed to clean under the net, AFTER THE STRETCH IS OVER (2-3 wks)
Anything left below is a waste of energy and time, that could go into BUDS above the net
Also invites disease and bugs if too much dead plant material is down there

I had 3 Gorilla's but got one male and used him to pollinate these 3 ladies:
2 Gorilla Grapes & diff phenos (100 F2's from each now)
1 Magic Merlin (120 F1's ) aka MAGIC MONKEY>>>growing now in DWC Igloo and 12/12 from seed---4 plants.

Forgive me for asking whats probably a noob question, but could you get the same even canopy effect from training the individual plants, or is there a particular benefit to using the net...or is it just the same thing, the net being easier to use...cause I have I'd say roughly a week to make the call...

You can get the same effect with tying, but that is a lot more work and noticably harder to get an even, level canopy. Screen is the way to go. Preferably with around 2"x2" holes.

wow first post finally after months of browsing these forums. Anyway im 4 weeks into my first grow it has 2 150w hps lights in a home depot cabinet thats divded into 2 different chambers. one im growing in regular potting soil and on other side im growing hydro. So far i havnt had any luck with the dro till now because my first plants in the dro were all clones which died, along with my soil clones to, and the second time my water got to hot and algae grew everywhere so i got a new 10 gallon tub from walmart.

ANyway to the point of my post my grow area is only 5 feet tall and the walmart 10 gallon tub is a foot tall. so i was wondering where u got the 5 gallon tubs because they dont look that tall and i think they would do great in my grow room for my next crop. Sorry if u said where the tubs were from in post and i didnt notice.

I got my tubs at Meijers, a store around me but I dont know if they are everywhere. The are actually 8 gal tubs, but I only fill them with 5gal. They are only 6in tall but are almost 3ft wide. They are rubbermaids and cost about $8 each. Hope this helps, any other questions feel free to ask. With a scrog, your height really doesnt matter, I went with my shallow tubs because my room is only 3ft4in tall. You could probly get away with taller ones.

Poon - Reg 5gal buckets are also 12in tall. So is my Homebox Large tent. I get good grows from it. If I dont scrog and grow trees, I have to bloom when they are 12in MAX. Assuming a 2-3x stretch. Or you can keep it low and wide like Integra b/c either way, you'll end up growing YOUR OWN DANK ! lol

Coupe - Think about how you will handle your drainage. Then keep in mind you'll be moving, reaching, bending all in and around your scrog. I give myself 8in from the TOP of the pot to the BOTTOM of the net. Unless your hella skinny, I wouldn't go less than 6in. So once they hit the 8in height, lets say, then you can put the netting in place. You want a bud site in practically ever hole. I prefer 2in x 2in netting. A cola will grow above it and the stems won't be 2in thick. Bend a branch and those growing off of it, under the net as they grow. When the tip begins to poke up an inch or so thru the next hole, tuck it under the net again. You can begin in the middle and work your way out, or begin from the outside and work your way in. When you get 25% - 30% of your netting filled, begin 12/12. Assuming a 2-3x's strech, that comes to 50% - 90% of your net filled after the stretch is over. Once you learn your strains growth (Indica, Sativa,Hydrid) and dial it in, those original % numbers will change. You want an even, as possible, canopy of buds/colas growing. After the 2-3 week stretch from beginning 12/12, you want to cut ALL branches off the MAIN STEM that do not have a budsite in the netting above. These will become a waste of energy for the plant to provide for since they wont receive any lighting from above. Eventually it will die off anyway, and dead plant matter is an invite to some pests and disease. Scrog's are good too b/c you can keep the lights close with an even canopy. I get my 400W Horti HPS 6 inches from my tops.

hello mate, wellcome to riu! :mrgreen: 2 plants are just about enough to fill 1.2x1.2 screen. u gotta flower them when the screen is about 80% filled. screen should be puted about 25-30 cm above the pots. have u trained ur plants? it can help much when u install the screen. happy growin and GL!

I agree with boomer. I have tested and showed it several times, as long as you have a strain with a regular or above flower stretch, you can put barely rooted clones in that dont even touch the screen and have it completely filled out by the flower stretch or even overfilled if you're not careful. The link of long veg being associated with scrogs is just 1 way of doing it.

]Piss & Blue Kush Day 61 of 12/12
Rm Temp 80F
CO2 ppm 1500
RH 50%
PH 5.5-6.3
PPMs 350-700
Res Temp 67-71F





Some Blue Kush Bud Porn











The Piss Bud Porn
















And as promised, Here's the ghetto flower room I built to flower my males,


The Kolossus Male

The Madonna clone for sexing/breeding

And the Killing Kush

Just for refrence, I did almost no upkeep on the ghetto room. I never ph'ed or checked ppms. I just put them in there, checked on them every 3-4 days, collected pollen twice, and refilled the res once. So for no maintenance in a hydro setup, I think they are doing pretty well..
