Is it too late to start a SCROG

[catdaddy516]

They’re 2-3” from being 2’ tall and 2’ wide.
My initial intentions were to mother them at first, but I started to add to my collection and decided to just clone and flower the donor to keep all potential mothers around the same size (I received well before the others).

They’ve currently been in these 3 gal air pots for about 2-3 weeks, but I plan on throwing them in 7 gals when the time comes. Should I just tomato cage/trellis them or could I still scrog them out? If so, this will be my first attempt and all help will be welcomed.

Thanks in advance.

It wouldn't be too late for me. Lol

Yes no problem you can still scrog them, on occasion I don't bend/net until the 3rd-4th week of 12-12

 

[Hiphophippo]

Yeah you can definitely scrog wait till the day after you water let the stalks be nice and flexible so not to break or damage joints

Hey thanks for the quick responses.
Do y'all think 7gal is enough or should I do 10's?
Any references, links or vids of setup for a complete Scrog noob to view or look over?

Pot size is gonna depend on a few things.

What medium?
What sq.ft. are you trying to cover?
How many watts is your light?

 

[Hiphophippo]

Built my own used 3/4” pvc for frame, drill holes and put in hooks I made a net using garden string. The net is 10x5’ I do ten plants in it. I run the scrog 8” above the top of my pot I use 30 gallon pots veg for 90 days, trans planting from solo cup into two gallon pot. Usually on week two topping first time then about 8 or 10 days later more transplanting into 30 gallon about 9 to 12 days later then topping and doing lst throughout the whole time . In the end my scrog set up cost about 15 bucks maybe 20

 

[Hiphophippo]

Just the pvc , hooks and string not the whole set obviously.

Promix
5x5
and the wattage is going to be around 650-750. I haven't decided on exactly which light I want, but it's going to be within that range.

Nice. Post up you scrog setup if you don't mind.
And damn 10 30 gals! How do you manage?

I run 10's in my 4x4... apply a trellis on week 3-4 of flower. Average about 8-9 oz/per plant.

I'd transplant into bigger pots then.

Lots of weaving

 

[Hiphophippo]

was using 15 gallons for this ten plants netting was still a little high here I think it was like 12 or 13 inches after this I cut down significantly about four Inches lower

 

[Syntax747]

God.. if i only had that much room

It comes in handy I am clumsy can’t work in small areas I’ll fall on them or something

Crazy setup. Much respect daddio.
How hight is the initial netting?
How do you water and catch runoff to test?

I know right!
The funny thing is that I do, but being that I'm just starting back up after 8+ years of inactivity, I'd rather keep it small and manageable. But looking at his setup is very tempting.

Yeah, from the looks of things and it's only 2 you would suggest at least 10's right?

Was hand watering now I’m using 12 inch halos and misters with a 20 gallon reservoir I built a frame out of 2x4s to surround my net and attached 10 mil plastic all my water collects in there there’s usually not much as I try not to over saturate I use a living soil and the net is 19 inches I think now give it take a inch or so when I make the occ frame I don’t glue so easily adapted for whatever comes up but I run the net 8 inches above the top of the soil level

The bigger the pot, the bigger the plant.
