Tools wise. I've got a screwdriver set. A basic Dremel 3000 kit. A hammer. And various nails, screws and hooks.

I was looking at some wire mesh with 2.5cm squares. That's the closest thing to inch sized holes I could find. I mean, I could string something up. But I'd rather a drop in method. Than having to restring cord after every grow.
i used cable ties to secure the net to electricians conduit.

aint pretty but should do the trick

Found and cut a frame. 48.5cm x 58.5cm with 2.5cm x 2.5cm squares. Canopy height is about 47cm. And I've got a screw sitting at 54cm (first of 5 to sit my temp/rh sensor- 12cm spacing up the wall)
Now I've just got to attach the frame. 20170708_172448.jpg 1499501304880-1605568699.jpgDon't mind the dodgy fans. I need to replace both of those with the real deal.

I wouldn't know what to do with all that buddage. I'd have to make a third into budder. And try to smoke my way through the rest.

Just a temp securing. This is about 7cm above canopy. Might take some time to get there. Wanted to know if it should be closer than that. 20170708_225047.jpg

Just remember folks. Metal will work but I'd highly recommend a little more flexible material as in plastic or string. Most times the training requires the plant and the screen to be a little flexible. Just my 2 cents on saving some headaches

I'll see how it goes.

To be frank (whoever that is). I can't be stuffed having to measure and screw/hammer in so many points to rig up string. I'm tired of calculating heights and distances and diameters of things. I kinda just want this project to be finalized and fully operational.

I do appreciate the effort to help me though.

How's that height though. 7cm above canopy?
7 cm is close to three inches right?
How many times have you topped her already is my first question. That will determine your screen height. The second part of the equation, is she heavy indica or sativa leaning genetics?

2 weeks into flower, trying to keep stretch to a minimum, lights off temps are dropping by only a few degrees and lights are pretty intense (can brighten them up another 100w though if needed).

To all experienced SCROGers in this thread:

Hello, this is my first SCROG. I believe I understand the theory behind it and just need a little practical guidance. The plants are Dr. Krippling,s "The Incredible Bulk" ~ Day 25 and they have been topped once to provide 6 main stems at this time. My intention is to top each stem to provide 4 main stems on each of them for 24 colas per plant. I then intend to guide the branches to a square space as they grow. All comments and advice will be appreciated. The net is about 10 inches above the base of the plant.

Thanks,
You have the basics. But topping a second time would actually give you smaller bud sizes across the board. I've always thought hormonal transfer as a pie. The more you slice it the smaller the pieces. I could be completely wrong here. But that's just my experience. Other than that you are on point! Maybe run it your way this round and give the clones a round with just a single top. Would be awesome to see. Indica heavy's are a little bit tough for your first run but You'll see it when they start pushing up.
Here's a pic just to give you a Idea of a 4 main top. Hopefully it will zero ya in a bit more. If not we are all here to help!
