Too late to scrog? (pics)

[hot cheetos]

I was planning on scrogging this but I ran into some issues that threw me off schedule.

What do you guys think the best move would be with these plants? What would YOU do with these if you were in my shoes?

I was thinking about super cropping and monster cropping/lsting them all down as far as I could and pulling a screen over the top.

Thoughts?

Scrog those bitches, just set a screen height of whichever gives you the best canopy. You should do very well they look nice! Good luck

Thank you I really needed that confidence boost I'm tripping the fuck out

So you saw what they looked like up there. Here is what i did to them. The nets are temporary, im going to make new ones today from pvc so that the net is stronger and so i have room to freakin move in the tent lol.

They look hectic lol. What should i do to make it look more like a proper scrog? Do i just have to wait for them to grow through the tent and they will look right?

More importantly, you can see how full the screens are already, i have shoots going past the screen. Do i need to flip to flower ASAP?

2 tables are very full. The one over there has the 4 runts (thankfully) the still look like they need a week or so in veg. The table without the net is the monster plants that i need to really chop up because they are too big.

Yes I would flip now because your netting looks good to go, those are going to blow your mind in a couple weeks! Good luck

This was my last scrog to give you an idea what to expect down the road. There's a 24" tall netting that you can't see in the picture and this top netting was set at 36" for just extra support. Good luck

Looks awesome brother.

Thanks for the replies guys. I installed the real screens a few days ago and I officially flipped to 12/12 today. I couldn't flip earlier because I had an electrical issue, electrician came and got it sorted out today.

I'm kinda shitting bricks now because of how full my screen has become. I was vegging with 600MH light and at the heighest height, which was about 18 inches from the net. Now I've got the 1k HPS and I can't take the light any higher.

How tall do the plants and colas get and how far do I need to keep the light from them?

Right now if I place my hand where the canopy is, it doesn't burn my hand. It's hot but it doesn't burn...it's like if you put your arm out in 80* sun, maybe a little less. The lights are air cooled and I have oscillating fans blowing all over.

I could probably hack up about 2 feet more distance between the light and the net. I could put the lights directly on hooks instead of hangers. And I could place the flood tray practically on the floor instead of the stand. It all depends on how much more my girls will grow :/



These pics are from yesterday night after i finished tucking them. This morning each tray had about 30-40 new growths sticking out again. I tucked all those away too so the nets are a lot more full than these pics show. I'll take pics tomorrow and show you guys.

Wow you have a very nice looking set up you keep things very clean
I highly recommend you dropping those tables to the ground if possible you're going to run out of room very quickly I would do it before things get out of control Adjusting lights up and down is much easier than messing around with those tables late in the game


Great job looks great you're going to be very impressed at the end

Your definetely gong to have to raise the lights or lower the table if you just flipped to flower as that last set of pics were taken, even with your scrog, they are going to grow way above that screen, possibly almost need a second screen for support. Id imagine moving the lights would be the easiest option

Take a heat reading with a meter on a stick and find out the max height the canopy is aloud and make the calculations by that..if your air cooled lights are with really with strong exhaust they allow canopy tops to be closer, if you have a sativa dominating strain they will stretch even that 40 cm, but there is always super cropping to be done, but yep I agree for sure that for starters you should lower the table,(if it is possible, then you can always lower or rise lights after that depending of the stretch . with the second net+ super cropping
you can easily bend and control heights (of course you don't want to block too much light from anything underneath...
+ the overall heat control is very much of the intake exhaust + out take exhaust...
mine is similar setup and even with 2 x 800cm3 exhaust the light where blown with a very strong wind the room got MUCH cooler with the active intake exhaust a 350cm3 TD-Silent ..
