If it wouldn't be a total bitch, couldn't you flip the screen over to position the screen on the bottom of the frame instead of the top to get it that 2 inchs closer if you wanted?
Yo guys when should i flip? Shim i need your input the most here for obvious reasons. I think im going to fill the screen as best as possible to about 75% to 80% then flip. I do want them to grow above the screen a bit, what do you guys think
I usually don't fill most of the screen because in hydro(at least in my experience) they stretch a lot more than they do when growing in soil. Depends on how much height you have too. If you have all the headroom in the world < 4' then I'd say yea, fill up most of the screen, if you're extremely limited like me (2ft MAX) then you probably shouldn't fill more than 50% of it. As you can see with my plant, even if I don't fill much of the screen it still stretched way more than I thought it would and one site is actually above the cool tube glass.
If you can set your hood that high you should fill out most if not all of the screen before flower.
Looks good RL, looking forward to see how it stretches. Mine was a heavy stretcher!
