Trellis Preference

I’ve been rocking the green 5 inch square trellis for a while now. I Like that it’s plastic but the squares are to big. I want to tuck more. I used to go with the 3.5 inch square trellis but they only. make it from nylon I believe. What’s everyone’s preference when it comes to a trellis? The nylon worries me about getting particles from it on to the buds

Albeit a valid concern, in reality its not an issue.
I've used the generic nylon nets as you describe for years and have never seen any fraying.

Used two layers nylon small squares down low to be used during veg growth and training/ canopy spread. Larger plastic squares a foot up or so to support big donkeys dicks. That way the hard plastic stuff touches your buds and not the nylon.

I have only 1 crop that I have taken to harvest. I trimmed with one of those magnifying hobby lights. I had a nice close look at everything I trimmed, and I didn't see any nylon strands in my bud. I used the secret Jardin 3.5 inch squares trellis netting which i had to cut in many places.

Use wood or PVC to make a frame then set the spacing of the mesh. This one has 2.5" squares and parcel twine used for a lower net to spread the branches:



It's cheaper to re-string a frame with twine - 1500' of that stuff costs me $20.
