Need Advice Grow #2 ScrOG

[Px9023]

Yea I might try switching to those. Most of the nets I find when i do a search are 4x4 though.

I built mine using those blue plastic garden stakes made a jig then just drill them then bolt nut and locktite.

Your canopy is spot on, love it.
I like using 4" x 4" for my scrog when I do them, one shoot per square, in late flower, the shoots should put a lot of weight on so they tend to be 2-3" thick if the have the space and light, you don't want the shoots packed too tight or you get of stretched thin cola's.
thin the plants out antill 3 weeks in flower 12/12.

My canopy or Holla's?

I did 3.5"x3.5" for my spacing. I did the 3.5" for building purposes. I made a drilling jig and used a 2x4 to quickly build out my grid only have to measure once that way.

Thank you! So it should start stretching good vertically? Should I keep limiting the height at this point by tying and tucking? Or let just grow vertical? That is my last point I'm stuck at.

Just keep weaving as they stretch that way you have a even canopy laid flat then your buds will all grow up utilizing your light and plant to it’s fullest , nets a bit high though but will be fine and the shwazzings the way to just defoliating your lower leaves at the right weeks to optimize stress in a good way and really push your plant

 

[Markshomegrown]

Just let the shoots grow vertical, you may have to swap the shoots around at times, to keep the canopy level. the stretch will stop about 3 week in flower, main stretch is week 2

I make up my own soil mix with dry plant food and top dress week 3,4,5 in flower.
have you tried top dressing your plants ?

A true SCROG is very flat and even a few inches high, I like a screen full of 1 foot high colas (just let them grow if you have enough height)
depends which way you would like to grow.

So I haven't top dressed yet. Soil mix is amended with rock phosphate, blood meal, bone meal, bat guano, kelp meal, fish meal, azomite, epsom salt, EWC, and fresh compost browns, greens, composted horse manure, chicken manure (pasteurized). Recipe base is from subcools super soil. Changed ratios and added a few things.. What do you recommend for top dressing?

 

[Markshomegrown]

my soil mix is nearly the same, you need the n.p.k something like 2.5.6, so I use 1/2 tsp of potash of sulfate (0.0.48 ) is very hot and 1 tbsp of seaweed
meal as it contains everything else the plant needs.

Looks good, if you have good seeds and your environment is just right the rest is easy.

Is seaweed meal the same as kelp meal?

One of my plants in veg, as I am potting her up.

So here is day 6 of flower. Should I do some pruning on top side? Or just keep letting the vertical growth go?

Bottom side screen.

 

[Markshomegrown]

They look perfect, I wouldn't do any more pruning.

 

[lusidghost]

I pruned the hell out of mine this time. I took off most of side branches and shoots.This is day 17. I am also running more plants than usual, so the branches was harder to evenly spread because they are getting in the way of each other below the screen.,I may have pruned a little too much, but we’ll see.

 

[Markshomegrown]

your screen looks good but you want to tuck the fan leaves under the bud sites .
