What up fellow Scroggers? Been tinkering with a better way to scrogg, i personally hate having to deal with the current systems and am hoping for your feedback to ultimately help each other out!!!

The cheap netting (plastic or thread) sucks IMO because it lacks proper support, is always flimsy and loose, one time use, and sucks to harvest around it.
Setting up heavy duty wire supported scrogger is much better for the support aspect but sucks harvesting around and entails beefing up the base support as well (2x4's etc, again IMO too bulkly and cumbersome). There is got to be something better and i really hope my fellow ROLLITUP members have been thinking along the same lines.

Scrogging is an awesome way to help your plant maximizes the available light and get the best possible yield from a plant, hands down. But the current systems are lacking IMO, please tell me what you like, dislike about your current scrog setups and what we could do to make it better!

Ive been growing for 3+ years now and have recently begun working on a prototype for a new, simpler, adjustable, less cumbersome, reusable, specific to the indoor grower and overall much more suitable for the new age growers! Please help with you feedback, i will be looking to finish my project in the next few months and would love to give them away to fellow scrog growers to really put it to the test, but that is down the road and for now i ask for your support in the R&D.

iv always just bought metal fence from my local hardware store cut the size i need and depending on the strain i use eather 1" x 2" holes or 2"x2" holes. its normally like 7-20 bucks for the screen and if you want you can just cut it up and buy a new one at harvest to make everything easier. i also just zip tie my screens to the corners of my tents and its always been a breeze to move or adjust.

I did a U SCRoG with PVC and wire mesh. It is hung from the top of the tent and is heavy and rigid enough to hold it's shape.

Me personaly I took pvc and then drilled holes all the way through it and took contractors twine and built my own net like a soccer goal. Because I can stretch it and tighten it, it gives great support. Take a look.

I replied in the scroggers thread mate :) netting is fine just use a couple of layers ;) you can't beat it really it's so simple a kid could do it, i have it attached to the tent poles by cable ties and the whole unit slides up and down as needed. Pull the corners tight it's plenty of support for even the biggest of plants! if you don't believe check out my thread. Wire and all that is tedious, time consuming, hard to move/pull down/harvest... Why do you think the pro gardeners only use netting? because it's all you need. Below....22 ounce plant... 2 layers of red nylon netting.

sorry if i worded it wrong in my thread, im A FIRM believer in the power of the scrog and have been doing it for 2+ years of my 3 years of growing. i know its extremely simple to run 4 pvc pipes up the side of my 4x8 trays and throw a cheap net or two across. but i dont like it, and want something better! its simple but a pain in my ass to work around the netting and grooming the plants, IMO, and then cutting up the netting and harvest from thru it and then picking up all the netting and throwing it all away, reduce, reuse, recycle, ha, im a hippy at heart. im thinking along the lines of retractable reuseable lines!! i know aerogarden already makes the lines but it doesnt have the best reviews. i know yall have some good input and experience and really wanna know what you think about making something simple but betterl

thanks rollitup!
peace

I use pvc pipe, "T's" for legs which are adjustable. Drill through threading vinyl coated clothes line. Large diameter line, gentle on the stems.
