Hi,
I'm so thankful i used string instead of metal lol all but 30 seconds with a box cutter i had all the string down.
next time i'd recommend going the string route with a SCROG as metal is perfect to make the branches lie how you'd like but getting it separated from your plants is a bitch if they grow over/through. But to each his own I hope it worked for you man!
that was really smart. I've seen set ups like this and I've seen maybe a way to tweak or edit it so you don't have to use screws but basically screwing your pilot holes through the wood and feeding the sting through the holes so it's seamless if that description makes sense. going to do this with my PVC left over from the fist screen
Like I said that stuff is shit. The frame/net I have cost me $3 in screws and 25 min in uh screwing.
I feel you on that. I can see how you'd think that. I was using pvc so it wouldn't be a bad idea however with wood it would probably not be with the trouble. It's why I measured mine and strung her up before then, let my plants grow into the net. Whatever works at home , I like the resourcefulness man! I've always struggled with scrogging and this round was no exception so I'm with you on the struggling part lol. I was personally told to try to grow plants in the corners of the SCROG and grow them out that way so the fill the net and don't leave a middle gap. Another method that may give you more help is training your girls from the jump so you can set them up to be even on the screen. I don't know if you've heard of Northern Scrogger on Instagram but he's a guy whos mastered the SCROG and I've learned a bit from, ill look to see if I can't find the website that helped me with SCROG
It is kinda shitty, but it works. Not as cheap as $3 though.
Yeah this current grow is from clones, which are a bit more difficult to LST from the start. But I am preparing for my next grow from seed and plan on doing some rigorous LST. I was hoping to never grow from seed again, but I think to do LST from the start is best if you're in a situation like me where you have very limited space. I'm going by this guide: https://www.growweedeasy.com/lbhs-famous-4-way-lst-tutorial-plus-topping-sub-tutorialI feel you on that. I can see how you'd think that.

I'd top you uneven ones until your sides catch up seems like the most immediate remedy but it can be hard to do.
I thought of the same but when i pulled my other girl the other night i had to cut the entire netting down and she held surpassingly well, when and if done well your SCROG nets should only require the single SCROG but i know you might be breeding a monster
I wish I didn't use mason line to tie mine up. I didn't think to use zip ties lol thanks for the "next time reminder" I'm going with legs though next time because it was a bitch
that was the guide i was gonna tag here
perfect that you've got a great resource to start from! I do generically agree on that , seeds respond to training better but you cant beat having a custom cutting of meds you know and love. HPS has always scared me as my brother almost burned our hours down when i was 6 with a shitty set up so I've been cock eyed towards HPS but i want one for my indoor grow. Been told it kills it if done correctly, so i want the best for my plants. sounds like you have a similar tent size as me (I don't know if I stated such earlier) 4x2x6 is what i have and my LED is 2000W (lies) and im disappointed with my overall and know i could've come close to maxing out with better light and better feeding schedules.
so no top then i cant blame ya. I loved negative pressure lol it was fun thinking I could run my AC infinity at 7 on the first run... what a fucking noob probably lost a quarter cola from that
Yeah my tent is 5'x4'x2' and I agree about the fear of fire with HPS. That's why I bought an air cooled reflector (and sealed it), so that bulb won't be touching anything flammable.that was the guide i was gonna tag here
i forgot your in flower
