Scrog canopy

Hi folks. I'm trying a scrog for the second time, this time i used a pretty firm wire mesh, last time i used a flimsy plastic one and it was not good. Anyway around the 3rd week of veg i really start to get overwhelmed with the number of shoots i had popping up. Keeping up with trying to fold them all down (under a hot light) was starting to look like a full time job! My mesh is 10cm by 10cm so I found myself adding more wire to fold down all the new shoots. It was quite... exhausting! :)

I let it go 1 week into bloom and despite all that there are still some pesky branches that just want to grow faster than the others.

Any tips on how to tame a scrog'd plant? I let mine grow to about 1/1/2 inches below the mesh, topped it and then ran the branches over then under the mesh wire as they grew out. My feeling is theres got a be an easier way to keep it under control than hand positioning and or wiring each shoot to bend 90 degrees.

Also mabey next time clean up the lower level some more .

You could cut some of the smaller branches that are suckling energy but thats up yo your discretion

They look very happy though nice work

I like to make my canopy only about 6 inches thick

Then i like to pluck any straglers after a couple weeks after the flip :)

Hi mate. Yeah I've already had a sweep through all the bottom up to about an inch above the first wire. I did mine two weeks after. I just seem to have a few branches that are growing faster than the others, they all started out within an inch of each other.

My stretch actually seems to have stopped (week 4). I'm too scared to try pinching them now :) but I will give it a go at the end of my next grow cycle.

Cheers! :weed: This is my 3rd grow. Hoping to beat 412 grams
