Make sure you have drain holes in that milk carton (assuming you do since it's sitting in a pot) - looks great! Welcome! YO

I have my power strip hanging on a hook on the wall and my ballast sitting on top of a 5 gallon bucket...but my plants live in a shower stall anyway.

Some people report rust...which gets on the plants. I'm using it though - ok so far and I'm 3 weeks away from harvest. yo

If you go to Woodsman's Scroggers Unite page....there's a huge string on what makes best screen. I used chickenwire but am told it's hard to get the plants out of at harvest. I used chickenwire so that I didn't have to build a frame for string which seems to be what most scroggers here...

I use Smartpots and I think it's really hard to overwater...they are made of breathable cloth and the water seeps out...I think the roots get more air.

I guess that could happen...but I wouldn't worry about it too much. The plugs have a little stretch and...since they are always moist...don't seem to break apart. YO

You can't remove them. Why would you want to? The roots grow through the spongy material of the plug and you just plant it as-is. good luck yo

I am just completing my first scrog now...I have 3 plants under a 3'x3' roughly screen. They are in 5 gallon smart pots with the screen bent in a dish shape 10-12 inches from the soil. I think fimming and late topping helped...you're LSTing from the git go - that's the whole point. Indicas seem...

Yep...in my experience it's always the best, biggest healthiest plants turn out to be males. Just wait...the females will catch up and you'll forget all about the ones you had to kill... YO

Febreeze makes a little carbon filter....same idea as the shop towels and carbon - but a little neater. YO

Welcome to SCROG! I'm just finishing up my first SCROG grow now. I think it's going to make a huge difference in my yields from the non-SCROG grows. I have learned a few lessons along the way though. First and foremost....take some time to plan where you're pulling the branches to. I ran out...

so...I'm doing my first scrog now. I suggest you do a search for the 2 scrog threads on this site..one was started by Woodsman. Also, there are some great videos on you tube. I probably learned the most from the videos cause they actually show you how to do it. You aren't weaving the tops...

I wouldn't trip on it too much. Just stop spraying with soap and change your nutes. Outdoor plants have a way of recovering and coming back even better than before. Good Luck YO

I dunno...it does get tricky when you put a seedling in a large container of soil. It will take forever to dry out if you water until run off....I typically water with like a pint water bottle once a day - everyday - until my plants start to grow into the pot. Then I gradually increase it...

Thanks! My last grow gave me a lot of popcorn...figured I'd switch it up and try SCROG - so far I'm pretty happy with the results. YO
