So my first scrog was a mess
Did a lot wrong
But I learned more
For my second attempt I've already made mistakes and don't even have the seeds I'm scrogging lol

Thats where I messed up.
Have 2 girls in my flower room
But my flower room is my scrog room.....
I need to veg my barneys beans under the 1k just cause its a lot of hassle otherwise

I digress
My first run I rann3 strains under one large screen
They all crowded one another and I had issues with rot
Think i have a new plan

I'm using 5 gallon fabric pots
Last time i had to just let my run off drop and shop vac it up
This time I am setting my pots inside empty milk crates.
This let's me get all the air flow but now have a stable base. The fabric pots just "melt" to fit a shape so i couldn't put a drip pan under them.
Now I am able to set the crates on top of 2x4's and can slide a cookie sheet under when i water woot!
Also with the crates I built individual screens for each plant this time
I only have 16 inches of play between the top of the pot and the screen but that's an issue for my next run
Still have to string the screen
Have screws every think it was inch n a half or every 2 inches. Cant remember
Looking forward to learning more from this run.
PS.
Havrsted 1lb 9oz off my messed up scrog attempt
looking to double that this run

if you don't mind a Lil bit of advice, I'd suggest next time using a lil bit bigger pots, from the looks of the size scrog your running, I think they will be root bound or at least run out of room, before she is really hitting her full potential! just my 2 cents!

Hey guys and gals I need some advice...this is my first scrog and my first rdwc run...I feel like my plant is looking good, but my question is if I have too many tops going...I'm not sure if they are too crowded and if I should lose a few of them

Strain is blackwater, flipped to 12/12 6 days ago

Thanks everyone!

looks good to me! I'd suggest a lil defoil. but that's up to you! I just went ham on mine yesterday! I recommend it in the first two weeks of flower, then no more! but many ppl will argue that, so it's your decision!CM190114-063058004.jpg

Yes I took everything off under the net a couple days before flip, and I will do a final defol as soon as she quits stretching...don't wanna stress her out until shes done reaching

while you may be limited by space, .......i would get a bigger screen, and run it closer to the plants, looks like a lot of space between the plant and the screen.

I don't think that's an issue, I could be wrong, but looks to be about the same amount of space that I have! I have zero proof to back it, but I feel they need a good foot at least, if anything just so it's easier to get underneath!

I have noticed with cleaning up the underneath area, I have a lot less of a bug issue to deal with, seems when I don't "lollipop" I always end up with some kinda mites on the lower leafs.

his screen is full and it looks like the plant isn't finished stretching yet. he already has at least 6 inches of growth sticking up through the screen....kind of defeating the purpose of the screen. he could use a bigger screen.
as far as height above the plant, you need a reasonable space, but it's dead, non-productive space....why make it bigger than it needs to be? i'd stick around 8 inches personally....then you don't have so much larf to get rid of, it's above the screen turning into buds...look at all the branches he cut off under there, could have left half of them and gotten them producing if the screen was 3 or 4 inches lower

that's pretty much my goal on what I'm doing, nothing below the net, and 8-12in stalks, with golf ball nugs up and down them!

I’ll be keen to see what the produce is. I’m solely for me so don’t need a large amount but am still keel on maximising the area. Will see with the super low SCROG I hope / guess.

Great system your running......How far off the ground is your scrog net? When your sip needs water how do you tell? Are you adding Labs, and ferments directly in
the reservoir?

I would have to measure the net for you, but I believe it's about 20inches above the top of the tote.

here's a link to my journal/experiment/ just what ever thread lol, there a few pages, but some good info if you don't mind reading! but remember I'm still working on this, nothing is set in stone, and the recipie is for sure still changing, so some of the original info on the first page or 2, may have been changed!

https://www.rollitup.org/t/greens-gorilla-glue-4.979073/

and here's a link to the sip pot design...

https://www.rollitup.org/t/diy-sip-pot-sub-irrigated-planter.979706/#post-14589325

and as for how to tell when the sip is empty or full, if you look closely at this pic below you will see, a small hose sticking out the bottom and going up, all this is, is basically a grommet with a tube attached. I drilled an extra hole and shoved it in. this way depending what the rez water level is at, I can clearly see from the outside, also if u noticed above that(don't know if you can see it in this pic) but I have an over fill hole, it's basically just a hole, below the inch air gap, that let's the water spill out if it gets too full!
