Each to there own if you're happy to do it why not?
Imho it's a lot of work for something that doesn't serve a purpose but if were you I'd go for it, the novelty of working around plants has worn thin for me but I can understand your enthusiasm, I used to be and wish I still had it.
I hope it works out for you.

Cheers SD

Generally, SCROG will do great things for yield. It’s a super efficient use of your energy, & no more work than other training techniques. If I haven’t ignored my scrog for 1-2 weeks, I can do maintenance tucking of 17 sq ft in about 15 minutes. Yes, a heavy cleanup after stretch can be time consuming, but so is defoliation, lollipopping, manifolding, choose your poison. The goal is a flat, but complete canopy at just the right distance to light source. All buds are equidistant to light source. If you want to use every photon of light for which you pay, this is the way to go. If u want some buds 10” from light source, some 20”, & some 40”, with associated variance in bud quality & much light wasted, then grow tall plants with a sloppy canopy. (Man, that’s a fucked up long sentence).

Yea I understand that and how it works and the concept of it, I just thought it would be nice to lift the main trellis with the lids from my 4 resivoirs if I wanted to take a peek in then. I am sure I saw someone on here with one built that way

Just a question. Why do you feel the need to look in the reservoirs, while in use?

I flipped a week ago I wasn't intending to screen them only tying but the plants have taken a fair stretch, maybe due to the hps? normally I'd use a mh for the first couple of weeks.
Anyways I'm going to sling a net over them hopefully tomorrow, I don't want tall plants I want wide plants.
