Really nice work Billy, certainly testament to patience. Do you forsee manicuring all that a nightmarish task cuz that was the only beef I had w/ that type of growing. You make it look very tempting though man, thanks for sharing.

serotonin-nah it really wasnt that bad. it would be better if i had easy access to all sides of the screen. but i only have access to the one open side. just wait until this bitch starts to really flower. its ganna look great. Mdgtptrl- i am using the Ebb & Grow flood and drain hydroponics kit. came with 55 gallon res, 3.5 gallon controller(the brain), 12 2 gallon pots, 2 heavy duty pumps, all the tubing, fittings etc and a 3 year warranty. whats badass about it is its expandable to 48 pots on one system. It won a stash award this year in HIGHTIMES. downside-$500

you can build one for about 70$

looking damn good man...scrog isnt new but this has potential. sad thing is...those fan leaves contain nutrients in them..and during the later period of flowering time...the plant will use the nutes in the leaves and transfer them to the buds....IE thats why the leaves turn yellow when nearly finished! but i understand the predicamint you are in with the mold and the coldness.

keep up the good work and check out my grow setup....its in the early stages but i will have pics tonight.

not even that. the fan leaves cover up budsites that need to get light. you cant smoke fan leaves. trust me bro, in a scrog u want to trim ALOT. there are plenty of fan leaves still on the plants that they can draw nutes from. yeah i saw how to build the same system. but i am to lazy to build all that shit, find all the right fittings and what not. and plus no 3 year warranty and tech line if i DIYed it.

Very impressive, how are you able to get it to grow threw the screen with out tearing up the plant?

for the 5 weeks i has them training into the screen. you just let the growth tip shoot 2 inches above the screen and then bend it back down into another hole and pull it back up into the next hole, let it grow 2 inches, pull it back down into the next hole, pull it back up, etc etc etc. a very steady and gentle hand helps to not rip leaves and break stems, but lord knows ive ripped some leaves and broke a few branches in this one. some days there was just so much to train i would get in a hurry and rip a couple leaves. but its pretty easy.

very nice pictures, My next grow will be a sog because it seems a little easier. I dont think me and that screen would get along to well. I do alot of rotating and picking up the plants alot to inspect lower leaves and shit like that so i dont think scrog is a good idea for me.

haha if you look at it like that lol, I wouldnt mind doing a scrog. isnt it the same method as sog and your just using the screen? i mean basicly you just put plants 1 per sqr ft than trim the bottom 1/3 of the plant and your gonna have one top cola per plant? Please correct me where ever im wrong.
