Looks Good ..imo/= I'd avoid growing different stains under the same net

as in most cases all strains exhibit different characters , like height and size

Should I cut the legs down to 2ft? .....Hold off for now

until the smallest is the size to reach the net,

but by then the fastest or tallest may well be a hassle to deal with

stay sharp

peace

I've be struggling with scrog fro 3 grows now. Kept the scrog net as high as you and it get tall plants every time. I have read in a few place cant remember where but apparently 6 to 12 inches from pot. So thats what i am going to try this time around.20150320_175846.jpg

fair play that's a tidy bit of diy there mate i would actually buy me 4 of these if you sold them its ideal and looks very maneuverable i really want 4 of these each one to fit in 1mx1m space so all 4 wud fit in a 2mx2mx2m tent

That's good shtuff! I am coming close to finishing my 1st Scrog now....I grew 2 different strains. Had an even canopy until flower...then 1 shot up well past the other. made things kinda rough.

IMHO....I think you may have too many plants for that area. Again...Just IMHO.

It is actually quite simple but one part is time consuming. Make the pvc fame you need measured out to your specific specs then here is the annoying part use self taping screws every 4in around the frame and take a store bought trelles and cut and stretch it to fit nice and snug.

THC how many plants u do have under your net I usually keep my plants short so I'm hoping it will work out with the 10 plants the other plants I might just keep them on my grow table so I don't have to many under my net but I got good bit of room to grow till they hit the net

Which scrog you trying to build bro his or mine is kinda easy I used 2 in PVC or plastic pipe and a few t elbows his looks same way but on each corner of the first net u need the 4 ended t elbows so u can add ur 1 ft of a straight piece or what ever u wish to the next net then I think nu could get just the 3 piece t connector to each corner to get the square just need to measure the size u need it idk figured I'd give ya my 2 cents lol

Mine was easy I just used the 2 in plastic PVC measured 4 pieces to 3 1/2 then I put the t connectors then I just cut the PVC to the height its easy to make mine then for the net I used twin and I drilled holes every 5in and put the ? Mark screw things can think what they are called and ran twine threw each one

if i remember correctly just 1/2 in PVC piping ,elbows maybe tees if u wanna make a second layer and self tapping screws spaced 4 inches apart. used store bought netting and cut to size and stretched and wrapped netting around the self tapping screws.

Yea I'm not sure about so many plants in a scrog, for me the goal is to use 1-4 plants to stretch out and fill the screen. If it were my tent I might keep the screen higher for this run to support the colas as they swell rather than lower to flatten the canopy.

Nice selection though, I'm running 3 different versions of the critical+ myself atm :) The critical+ 2.0 I have in flower is filling out fastPICT0006 (1).JPG She's only 27 days from the flip to 12/12 PICT0011 (1).JPG .
