2 inch screen is better imo
A little bigger is better. I use 2"x3". Got it at home depot in the garden fencing outside.GREAT pics! I was hoping you had any info on screen size? I'm currently set up with a 1" screen and was wondering if that is too small of an opening! This is my first SCROG, so any info would be GREAT!
Cool, get some pics up once you get it all setup.Soon I will join the SCROG CLUB!!!
Now you've done it, done gone and went batfish crazy,,,,,,,,,just feeded my ladies with the usual fish mix and added some bat shit on the surface of the soil. hope they will love it
Girls are looking bushy as hell, do you keep them under the screen on purpose or are they just not tall enough to grow through it? Keep up the good work and keep the pics coming as they progress. Thanks for the post.pics not great but here is an update of me ladies
Looks like you got it set up pretty nice. If you add about a 2ft tall border/wall around the screen with mylar or something highly reflective over it, that will really help your outer buds get nice and big since the reflected light will hit the side of the bud that gets no direct light. And for flushing purposes in soil it is a good idea to find a way to elevate your pots off of the floor so you can just pour water through and have a bucket or tub underneath them to catch it all since you cannot remove the plants from the screen for the final flush. If you can't do that this round, let me know and I can tell you what I did to get around it on my first run. With all that being said though, the grow looks like it's going to be a nice one. What size is your light? And keep us updated with fresh pics when you get them, I love seing how others Scrog's turn out.WOw this thread has really impressed me. I have heard of scrog for a while and have been reading but this thread shows it's real beauty.
Integra I love your setup you pull some really nice buds out of there.
I have just recently started growing myself. I am in the first week of flower. i just added my screen the day after I put them into flower and it is really starting to fill out nice. I am hoping to get a nice yield from these girls. Right now I am running 4 different strains (white widow, afghan kush, burmese kush, and iranian g13). Please enjoy the pics. Keep in mind these are about a week old right when I put the screen on them. My light is out now so I will have to take new ones tomorrow.

I'm interested to hear this, please. I've considered SCROGing my next grow but the flushing mechanics are something I have not thought about.If you can't do that this round, let me know and I can tell you what I did to get around it on my first run.
Average height for the screen to be above your girls is about 8"-12". I keep mine at the 8" mark. I also dont put my girls into the screen until flower time. And then I use the flower stretch to fill the screen out. Depending on how long you veg them and what the strain charactoristics are you can do just about any number of plants. I have seen a single plant fill out an entire screen, but thats a long veg time to pull that off. I prefer to use 3-6 small clones 6-18" to fill out my 3'x4' screen. The larger the clone, the smaller the numers of them. I just put 6 6"-8" clones into flower yesterday. They should fill out their 3'x4' screen pretty well, but this is just a guess because I have never flowered the strain. But it has worked for me every other time, so Im not too worried. If you want to see how this has worked for me, just click the link in my sig. It has all of my grows in it. The newest best ones are towads the end.I am planning on doing a aeroponic grow with scrog I have read through most of the thread but probably missed some info while looking at the beautiful ladies!!!
what kind of height above the screen do you need average? would 2 feet be enough?
I noticed alot of you guys have 2 rooms, one for grow on for flower, it might be a dumb question but if your plants are all woven in the screen during veg how do they get moved without hurting them?
what kind of square footage can you fill up with one plant? IE how far away should i space them? (1x1, 2x2 3x3 foot)
I realize some of the questions depend on what strain, lights, etc, but just as a ball park...
should i be more methodical about it ..? i just kind of swoop my hand under the screen to move the branches out..lol...oh and im thinkn of switching them wat u tinkThats what I do to. But I have known a couple of guys that have weaved it in.
