Looking really good!
1inch spacing may be a bit of a pain to weave in though - I imagine it'll be pretty tight to pull your branches through with leaves and all on -- remember, they first need to grow up through the space, then get pulled back down and stuck into the next space... I have 2 inches on mine, and it sometimes even got to be a pain with that double space ;)

Oh and what is that on the floor of your cabinet? Hopefully not mold?
I'd be tempted to clean that before the scrogging gets seriously started...

Cheers :mrgreen:

Thanks for the advice. I was a bit worried about the 1" spacing. At least I can easily re-string for 2" or 3" spacing and the string allows a lot of flexibility with pulling branches through. The Cotton Candy clone that I'm using is really leggy right now.
Oh, it's a rust stain on the floor of the cabinet. Despite it's appearance everything is cleaned and disinfected in this old piece of junk and the pot is in a saucer.

Question for you: Based on the reading I've done, in the veg stage you want to keep branches trained entirely under the screen to fill it out. You're description of weaving the branches is different: "they first need to grow up through the space, then get pulled back down and stuck into the next space". You do this during Veg?

Thanks for the help!!!

well, that actually gives me about 2 more inches between pot and screen than when I was keeping everything under the screen for all of veg

At first I used a 8 inch buffer method between the pot and screen which is great for indicas. now a days I'm running Bohdi gear so I've moved the screen height up to 17 inches and I've found I prefer the larger gap for my training method and over all ease of maintenance. Just food for thought as you get the scrog style dialed.

Yea, they have to grow up so you can train them back out. they will constantly re aim for the light. As they grow up, you can weave them back under. Side nodes will begin to grow up towards the light as well, so those can be trained out as well. Making ever exponential growth and branches

OK. Call it week 6 of veg. Just under the net. The plant has been LSTed.
At 6 weeks veg which is the right ScrOG

Excuse my carpentry work...I used all scrap wood I happened to have, so its kinda pieced together. But all in all, will function for this cycle. My next cycle will be in a new barn, so this just will be one cycle in this setup.

Each scrog has a built in 2 foot wide walkway, that way I can access all side of the scrog, have a little separation. I am going to put some small tester seedlings in the walkway, that I can easily move back and forth outta my way. Will be kinda annoying, but Need to maximize my space.

Its hard to tell from the pics, but there is 2 nets installed per scrog section. One is what that are actually being woven under, then a second net approx 10" above that for stretch. 2 Nets are where I want them to be full wize, one could be more full, but such is life. hard to dial in so many different strains into it all, but did what I could. Can't wait to see the canopy in there!!!!

I like how you filled the space in between . Nice patch . My friend used sun system 1000 hps big hoods in space like that . Those lights will give you weight for sure .

What's up everybody.. Thought i would jump in on this one. On my second scrog. I'm getting better i think. Last time i kept to much stuff below the screen. Which is defeating the purpose I know. But with practice we all get better. Here's some of my girls 11 days in to12/12 today20160114_181703.jpg 20160114_182205.jpg

Pics and Update on my first ScrOG.

CHEA PScreen: 36" x 16" (1.5 hours and $0)
If it works, it's a proto-type. If it sucks, it's a first try.
Built this frame out of some scraps of pine I had laying around. Laced her up with heavy, nylon kite string. It's a little "slippy" and hard to work with but it's thin and strong. Drilled holes every inch. Only 4 screws hold her together!!! I attached one eye screw to each corner - eye screws double as anchors to hand the whole thing. I strung her up, tightened her up, and used some dowel pegs to hold the string. Some evening while I'm smoking and watching the plants grow, I'll carve some cool pegs.

And my final pics - Boom!!!! She's in!!!! Cotton Candy clone. Soil to screen: 12".

Well, here's an update on my first ScrOG after 10 days in the cab. I think I'm pleased, but advice is welcome. I've been tucking branches about every 3 days, so only 2 or 3 times in 10 days. Lots of new growth.

Hi all SCROG people. Here is my first try on this too. My 4th grow in total and as this year all my ordered beans were bad / did not even start to germ! This is my only plant (Feminised seeds C99) this season and trying to get most out of it...I have LST´d and topped her.

I flipped her yesterday to 12 / 12 and installed the screen. Hope doing all correct so far :)
