I do the same Therrion!
I personally find it easier when growing big plants to spread them out a little in veg, makes putting them under the netting a lot more user friendly and I snap less branches haha.

I also use loose zip strips instead of weaving. It does the same thing but much easier. The best part is that if a bud is too close to another, you can snip the strip and move the branch over , and then refasten.

Yeah true! Funny how the simple tips like that can make things much easier! Will definitely be doing that this run!

I have built a scrog but realized I could not do easily what I like to do.... caring for the plants is therapy for me and in a scrog I can’t remove each plant and work with it.....

I made small nets from coat hangers and plant wire...the plant supports the net so if I have to pull a plant out the net comes too, but only that 1.
After topping a few times I bring the all the plant branches up through the center and then tie down to the net.
So far its working fine...haven't had to pull a plant out yet, but could be done easy enough I think.

I put supports on the corners (PVC pipe) for a week or two while its growing and being tied down, but they come off as soon as shes standing strong on her own.
Happy growing y'all :P

I’ve seen some great examples of these Mak’er Grow.
Awesome when growing in individual dwc buckets. Makes bucket changes a whole lot easier!

Here its about $1 a connector and about $8 for the pipe...around $20 or more...mine was about $2...lol
But I do like the PVC...much easier to work with and to clean...imo
Beauty of a plant there btw...great job !

It’s not the price that scares me, it’s putting the pieces of the jigsaw together..... I’m the guy that always has a bolt in his hand when the jobs done!! :oops:

Depending on strain I'll top once maybe twice for four tops and then just supercrop from there to keep the canopy as even as possible for flowering. I know scrogs work but I don't want to deal with tucking and weaving . I just pinch and bend over. Also, I don't want to veg for months filling up the screen. I flower smaller plants for a faster turnaround.

LOL...not really...21" x 21" nets about 6" from panel.
Sick girl atm tho...I have been fighting nutes issues/problems...tried switching brands when this plant was started, but plants dont seem to like it or I just cant find the sweet spot yet, but I'm switching back...anyways this is her @ 21 days into flower...pistols started day 10 I think.

I'm trying to lay it on the screen because I think if I weaved it then come harvest time it will be hard to un-weave it all...this way I just untie and cut branches at main stem and it should come right off...fingers crossed...lol
