Trying to learn how to scrog I’ve watch several videos and read articles and I still have questions


When do you start scrog?

Do you use multiple nets or just keep moving the one net up?


I have 5 plants going in 5 gal fabric pots in a 48”x48”x80” tent

No you don't move the net. The point is to train a plant up to it and then under it in a horizontal fashion to create a blanket of plant that when flowered the bud sites will grow up through the net and give a nice even canopy of buds all the same size.
Scrog has been watered down and many people think using a net is a scrog but its just a separation method and a support screen.

End of the day what ever works for the grower.

Check out the link and use the search bar on here, there is a massive thread dedicated to Scrog.

You can use a second net above your main first net as a support trellis. But that first net doesn't move.

During veg, the branches are woven through the first net to promote lateral growth and not vertical. You spread to fill the net and utilize the entire grow space Lots of branches and bud sites. Once you flip to flower and the stretch has completed, you could use a second net about 16" above the first net to help to keep the buds from falling over as they pack on their weight in the final few weeks.

That picture does not really illustrate a SCROG since the lower net looks like a support trellis. There is no weaving of branches through the mesh.

You can start weaving as soon as the branches start poking through the first net and are big enough to bend and weave. Just keep weaving every couple of days to keep the canopy even until the net is filled. Here is a picture of a SCROG net with the branches woven through. The plant is spreading laterally:

They will look like they just lost a fight. But the plant will always grow back towards the light. The same SCROG 3 weeks later at one week of 12/12:

How high above the soil is your net?

... How high above the soil is your net? ...
I set the height of the net from the top of the bucket itself and not by the soil level. I go 6" above the top of the bucket which is, I believe, 14" tall. So the net is 20" ( ... maybe 21" ... ) above the floor. That 6" is just enough to let me give my ladies some of that TLC they so desire during flowering.

I've had my net at different heights above my soil, all work, but factors to consider include:
- if you can't lower your light all the way, you'll want to grow vertically enough for your canopy to be the ideal distance from your lights.
- if you have concerns about hitting your maximum tent height, this is the main place to make your scrog plant shorter.
- a canopy very close to the soil can make it hard to water evenly.
- more space between the soil and canopy allows more airflow to both, reducing mold risks.
- more space between the soil and canopy allows you to crawl in there for slightly easier trimming of unwanted side shoots.

... Sorry to but in.. but this is my first scrogg ever, does it look ok to you guys ...
Looks good to me. You can see how all of the tops look like they lost a fight in the first picture but have turned back towards the light like they should in the second picture.
