Scrog screen pic...any thoughts?

Looks good but I don't think you'll need 6 plants unless you would like the veg time to be a little less. But then it really defeats the purpose of a scrog. I used to pull 1lb from a 4x4 scrog and 4 plants about 18-20in tall. under one 1k hps and diy dwc/aero set-up.

Also you may or may not run into a problem when it comes time to chop and pull them through the net. Either way you think your going to pull from the top or bottom you are going to be squeezing the shit out of the bud and what not. Its nice to have small squares to train the plant itself to stay under.

I use chicken wire above a 6x6in trellis netting. I keep the chicken wire on in veg so its less work for me to do. No weaving or tying the branches to the net. I just pick the net up and then place it back down again.

But to each their own. Looks good either way and it will get the job done.

Say your plants are 12/12 no light. you smoke a bowl and get the munches like a mother fucker... You want to cook up some food ... Lights are off..... Lol that's if it is in your kitchen ?

Its the only spot in my house i can grow and i have it loaded with green lights, to do work during the night cycle. But that makes the most sense to have 4 plants and veg longer, less to take care of too.

I will post another pic tomorrow of what i end doing with the plants. The ones that i'm using for the scrog were switched into flowering 1 week today. I have a heavy indica strain that doesnt stretch much.

Does anyone have advice as far as training during flowering. Like what week you do what?

1000 watt raptor .....nice !

I thought Evo8Emperor had some good points in his post above.
With that many plants and a relatively small screen, you won't have much chance to scrog!
Your screen is already almost full. You may want to try less plants and/or bigger screen next time.
Good luck on your grow !

PVC is an easy way to make a scrog screen any size you want. Just drill holes through the pvc at what ever intervals you want for a size screen and just weave what ever type of wire you would like to use through it.

As for pointers on at what time to do what. Fill the net a good 3/4 of the way before you want to flower. Keep them under the net for the first two weeks until the stretching is done and then let them pop up through the net. During those first two weeks you should also be trimming off what ever is below the net and is going to pull energy from the top buds.

Looking good, i plan on having a scrog on my master kush its got 6 tops, perfect for a scrog i think. But i have a 250w hps, so one plant on that should give me a decent yeild.RIMG0079.jpg

screen height looks ok,just make sure you do a good trim just before you let them come through the screen,mine were a week into bloom and still i was able to bring the plants out so i took lots of surplass fan leaves and bulky shaded stuff away,now 2 weeks in bloom all i have coming through is bud and the plants can stay where they are from now on,i couldnt bring them out if i tried.anyway looking good:weed: ...
