Right so this is the idea. I'm going to build a very similar screen to the one i'm currently using, only with a few extra pieces.
The branches i choose will be slotted into the middle of the blue Knex piece and secured using a tie. They'll still have room to grow thicker. Ive checked and the thickest branch on my last grow fits through this piece, so hopefully, i shouldn't have any problems. If the branches grow and get tight it'll just help hold them in place and upright.
The bud seen in the picture is Barney's Farm Blue Cheese from my last grow, still got a bit curing away but even now its a verrry nice smoke, bit of a creeper but damn good.
Blue Cheese Trichs!
So thats it, everything above the 2nd screen should bud, with nothing but naked branching below. The second screen will sit on 4 legs on top of the 1st screen, and they can be raised easily.
There will be 87 of these squares to utilise, and for my 10oz target that means 3.2g/branch or square. The bud in the pictures weighs 3grams, and i'm sure this plant will produce much bigger buds. So each branch and its leaves have 1 square each, thats 2" 1/4 from white rod to white rod or 6cm. Hopefully thats enough not to get overcrowded!

Had nothing better to do. The legs are just there to illustrate how it'll sit on top of the 1st screen. Had to reinforce the edges to prevent the screen from flexing in the middle. Now it sits perfectly flat, and is pretty strong, so should be good for the job. The legs going down to the screen below will be K'Nex and easily adjustable. Probably going for the flip in a week i'm thinking, we'll see.
Note that when i started this grow, doing what i'm about to do was not my intention. I actually wanted to grow as close to a solid block of bud as i could, but no more. This is due to potential mould problems, light penetration problems (thought i'd end up maybe with a sheet of bud but a really thin one, buds underneath wouldn't grow properly, create minimimal trichs ect). I'm hoping this will look just as impressive though.

You should change your name to Capt. kinex
One thing though... Going to be haaaard to train though the kenex without shredding the leaves up. Maybe not, but scrog through 2" holes is hard enough.
Excited to see what happens. I'm flipping in a day or two

U really have no idea.... must have a next 10,000 pieces at least, probably more like 15-20!
Haha. Maybe "King K'nex". Thats the BEAUTY of using K'nex! I can easily break open a square, take a couple pieces off, stick the branch in and make it all back up! Thats how i'm planning on setting the screen up initially. Once its in place i will literally only have to raise it as the same speed as the stretch, all the nodes above the second screen will stay above the second screen, i wont be moving the screen up the branches, if u get me.. so hopefully leaves wont get shredded. So i gotta make sure where-ever i put the second screen (in terms of how far up the vertical branching) is the right place, cos if i fuck that up then things will be difficult. Would've loved to see a journal of ur grow and those screens filling out. If you got any pics from earlier in the grow please post em in this thread.
Ive kind of surprised myself this grow believe me! Things have gone a lot better than expected so far, especially for an experiment.

Awesome, any chance I can come round and play some time
lolA few years ago I was looking after a (significantly younger) cousin of mine who owned loads of it and I just spent most of the night playing with it myself. When my aunt and uncle got home they said it had been ages since he had played with it, I was too embarrassed to admit it was me that got it out.

Hahaha u joker! Yeh ive always been a hands on guy that likes to build shit. I used to win K'nex competitions and stuff as a yout, even built a gravity driven roller coaster that went round the top of my room! When i was 7 i had the chance to get anything i wanted as a present for getting into my prep school, this is what i asked for!
Built all sorts of stuff out of this stuff, including a massage chair and a pool cue! haha.
My 3yr old nephew came round the other day, so i took out a giant bag of K'nex for him, kept him entertained for about 30 mins, kept me entertained for an hr nd a half! Started building a car!
