Scrog question?

[Mrblunts420]

Whats up guys quick question for you all. I'm running g 10 23w cfl in a 10.28cf box, I want to scrog the crap out of it to utilize the area in the box with is 24x24x37 in.
1. What kind of material should I use for the net that wont stress out plant?
2. Would a regular 2'x2' square or V/U design to utilize the side walls of the box?
3. And what is the best size square for the size of my box...2 1/2"x2 1/2" or 3"x3".
4. Same 12" spacing above the soil?
Any advice or recommendations would be amazing.

What's up buddie I can help with you scrog questions. How many plants do you plan to run? Just one? I just used some string and made squares about 2x2 inches big on a pvc frame. I would just do a standard scrog. Depending on the variety you are growing might dictate how high the place your screen. Generally 12 inches is a good place to start. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I bought chicken wire in the garden section at Walmart works great!! I like the bigger holes much better.

Nylon string doesn't stretch bad and it's really strong.

[Why Doe]

Whats up bro thanks for the quick reply. I'm not to sure if you did any checks on my other postings , only asking cause I do not know how to add all of it into a link on here yet...lol...

I'm working with a 4sqft/10.28 cf DIY cfl grow box. I have made the SCRog net simple pvc and string approx 3x3 inch squares. Not using it yet, I have 3 plants growing right now; 1 is 7 weeks and the others are 3 weeks. I was thinking once the smaller ones get about 5 weeks then putting all 3 under it. ..

I have more to show you but reception is wonky AF right now

My scrog

My new one is adjustable in height.

Great job on the scrog. The beauty of the scrog is making a smaller number of plants fill a larger space with even light distribution. I think that one plant(the older one) underneath that scrog would fill your screen soon enough. By the time the others catch up your screen could be well on its way to becoming full. . Just something to think about.

Why do you have holes on the side of the pot?

Weezze! Great question... Well since I am growing on a small budget I took a $0.95 1gal and turned it into an air pot .

Only problem I could see with that is roots might try and grow out

Not at all actually... The roots air prune themselves which causes more roots to spread to that area.

Same thing with my smart pots. I love them!!

My future grows I will be using different pots to compare root growth and health and size of plant growth

Thanks for asking the SCROG question - I was wondering how and what to use. You have all given me the answers. Can I ask what the advantages are ? Does it force the plant to work harder and spread it out, making for a bigger yield ?

 

[Why Doe]

Scrogging allows you to get the most out of your grow area. By spreading out the plant not only does it keep them short for height constraints, it allows more light to penetrate lower vegetation. So end the end yes higher yields.

They also allow you to have an even canopy and get the light right over top of all of the buds, making all the buds grow like colas.
