Is it too late to start a SCROG

[Syntax747]

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

Yeah, you just upped the game a lil bit .. I'm still a basement dweller using a 4x4.

 

[Syntax747]

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.

Smart, but you wont last long lol

 

[catdaddy516]

The bigger the pot, the bigger the plant.

Yeah, I went bigger but not big. My first try and really didn't want to overwhelm myself. Once I get some experience down with this style of grow and the genetics I'll push even harder.

Lol. You just might be right.

I’m about ready to get things kicked off. Plants are about 3’ from the floor and was wondering where to place the net?
Thanks in advance.

I would bring the net about 8 inches from the top of the pot. that should give you the flexibility you need to weave your plants and enough stress on them to keep them pushing outwards instead of upward

Place it where you want your height to be at. I usually put my net in up high, bend branches, then lower the scrog to the canopy. If you don't intend on filling the scrog, just put it in now up high, lst, then lower it to the canopy, and let the plant grow into it, just keep the stretch in mind. I dunno what your height limitations are, but the stretch could end up fucking you.

If you can go ahead and bring the net down a few more inches to put a little stress on the plant and open it up the point of a scrog is to weave thru the net and create even canopy right now it’s just going to support your stalks as they go up and not out bring that net down a few and start working those branch’s out before the stretch

For sure. That's my second scrog. I pretty much filled the first one,


the second one was just to support after the stretch...


Granted, not the most even canopy, but I'll take it.

Ok I got you. At first I thought ya'll meant 8" above the canopy. I was over here thinking, shit, how is that even going to work as a scrog and I'll be out of room by time the stretch is over.

Yeah, I only have about 5.5' to play around with and that's counting from distance from light to top of canopy. And I see exactly where you guys are coming from. Thanks for the pics.

That run finished a lil over a month ago. It was only 8 ounces, and a couple ounces of larf. It's for headstash though, so it's plenty for me. Lol

 

[catdaddy516]

Should I sit them on anything for catching runoff or should I just lift them and place them in saucers whenever it's time to feed/water?

Which strain do you guys run and do you scrog them all or just certain ones?

With some training and bending, get the plants stance as low as possible. Branches are usually pretty easy to bend when they're small, just pinch around the area where you wanna bend and loosen it up some. Bend it slowly, and carefully.

Once it's scrogged, there is no moving until after chop.

 

[Hiphophippo]

Idk about everybody else but when I scrog I don’t put my net on after it’s ready to flip. I grow the plant into my netting. For example I start in solo cup and transplant into a two gallon pot after about 7 to 9 days. Then I wait about 4 days and top it, sometimes 7 days then wait a week or about ten days, then transplant to thirty gallon fabric bags. the nets about 8 1/2 inches from the top of the pot. The plant is just touching the net when I transplant it. Then as it grows I weave it thru the net, vegging the plant for 90 days weaving it as it grows I see everybody just adds the net later after all that vertical growth that’s basically just heavy lst training next time try growing your whole veg thru the net you’ll get more from your light and space and a much higher yield

Also helps if your doing the bending the day after you water as you stalks are more flexible and forgiving

I was talking in regards to watering. Like pick the pot up off the ground a few inches to place the saucer underneath it.

Yeah, this was a last minute decision. I really didn't think they'd get that big in 2.2 gallons of medium. Also, I've been seeing a lot of grows with scrogging lately, which highly intrigued me, and at the last minute I said why not give a try.
Believe it or not, but the limbs on them are very pliable, so I shouldn't have any issues with bending them.

If you can slide it under it okay if not I’d just shop vac it up or let evaporate over nite or soak it up. I have a plastic catch basin I built in mine. I used 2x4 made a frame lined it in 10 mil plastic with staples. it catch’s all run off which I try to keep to a bare minimum so not to waste food and micro biology

Not knocking yours at all it looks good I was just wondering why a lot of people do that as opposed to vegging it thru the net try it on your next grow and compare the differences
