Yeah, righto, to v or not to v,...because my grow space is so small it might be the best option to maximize surface area...because I'm only doin 1 girl would it be possible to veg for longer than norm and once main branches have gotten to highest edge of screen, train them back down/turn around and train back to middle? Too crowded?

Looking forward to seeing her fill in ... What you'll notice is the growth that gets trained horizontally slows a lot.. what will end up happening is as you're training to the edges..It's kinda like lst..and all the branching grows upwards

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.

There is no reason to get technical!!! LOL there is nothing wrong with netting IF USED PROPERLY!!!! you don't just tie it up and hope it supports weight!! i harvest anything upto 24 ounces from one plant and use the simple netting. You just pull the corners tight!! simple! and if that's not enough ummmm a 2nd layer!!! WOOOAH!! miracle! twice the support at a different level :) i have used this method the last 4 grows and have never been without support and it hold up over 5kgs of fresh bud. What more do you need? do you want to lay in there with your canopy? Use the Nets properly and they are plenty and all you need. Simple, easy and effective, come harvesting just snip it away....it's not that damn hard :)

Flowmasta - I like that crazy looking stem with branches going every which way.
crazy looking stem?! which 1 :p she may look neat in there but it's a tangled mess! but will be fine. i keep all my trunks.

Looks beautiful Kev!! but i don't think you utilized the scrog as well as you could have :) atleast nothing fell over by the looks! You can always spread the plants and keep them under the screen before flower....have some fun maybe another time, but you got growing down pat mate, beautiful healthy plants, very well fed, Grade A quality & rep+ ofcourse! come on guys! give where deserved!!!

Agreed, I needed to let the plants grow into the screen instead of getting impatient and lowering the screen.... Next time I'll do it right :).

Cheers for the Rep.

I've been doing LST for about 3 weeks from clones and they are only about 8" tall but like 18" across.Should I set a screen and go vertical to it yet? They have at least 12 main colas each going now. It's 4 plants in a cabinet with a 8 lamp 4 foot T5.First grow by the way.

looking good i would say to let them get a little taller, looks like they're mostly indica.. i'd say when the plant is about a foot tall to place the screen otherwise it just grows through it and branches after..

A friend of mine gave them to me,they are blueberry skunk,northern lights #5,pineapple express and one he says is called whampa which I couldn't find any info on. I got them at maybe 3 weeks after they were cut and started LST the first week I had them. So I should set the screen at 12" to 14" above the pots? Should I consider any topping or fimming if I'm letting them go vertical now to get to screen height?

well some say that its better to have a higher screen for sativas and lower screens for indicas.. however they are very trainable and you can make any situation work. i'd say 14" would be good... I fim'd and let my 4 branches grow to the screen height... then they began to technically be lst'd by being streched to each corner. thus promoting all of the side branching that had been growing before the scree to say.. "oh snap lets go up" so what happens is you have a whole lot more sites.. imo.. if you check out the link in my sig one of my more recent updates has a nice undershot where you can kinda see where it all happened..
