Let's see those scrog screens

I take cuts at whatever point. I try to take them from the bottom of the plant at least a few good nodes, best to take cuts before you flip to flower but I’ve taken them at any stage it really doesn’t matter I havnt noticed yet in my own grows. Sure is more of a hassle reversing them from flower as it takes longer but still works.

As for how many cuts you can take. It’s a weed it will recover take as many as you need and an extra 1 or 2 depending on your confidence in your cloning skills.

I did mine as every 4" and got ratchets for the pvc frame to be hanging… You might see it soon, but don’t take a beginner’s word for it!

Used self tapping screws, then wrapped wire. I can tighten or loosen up with the screws.

@Abbbian I take cuttings pretty much whenever I need them but from where depends on if I need to top for height restrictions or just general growth maintenance. Bottom is one of my usual spots to get cuttings from .
@Chronickyle has good advice on it. Usually won’t take cuttings past 2nd or 3rd week of flower.

@Shaggy450r that’s my next plan is to try building out of pvc, just gotta have the spare $ to pick some up(have some I had gotten a while back for a project for our turtle tank but the pieces have been scattered and would be indire need of cleaning before I could consider using)

Shaggy man. I like your design. Good idea on the self tapping screws to tighten. Great idea on the wire material as well they should have a very long life. Also agree that 3*3 holes are best. Honestly man wanna trade haha just kidding of course but if I needed to build a screen and didnt have meterial laying around that would work. Yours is what I would build.

Edit. Except I’d put mine on ratchets to raise and lower. Only change.

So 3 it is… though I’ve been getting confident lately, hope I don’t blow it! Folks here have been instrumental in helping me with all that! @Chronickyle, I think I’m beginning to feel like you, too many things to be juggling with only two hands! lol! Thanks.

Thanks, been through a few designs before I liked this one. I have a big one for my outdoor grow. They work great.

Going to have toi check out hemp string.

I use cotton twine right now. Everything sheds so figure thats probably better than cotton.

I like plain white mason line with 4" spacing and knots tied where the lines intersect. Usually train the plants for 1 cola per square. Manifold the plants so you can get one good solid top for sure instead of trying to fill the net with tops from small sicker branches.

I like to use screws so I can double wrap on the ends to keep tension.

Wooden dowels inside the pvc helps with rigidity and adds a little weight for stability.

All right, back on scrogging…

After some cleaning up… 6 plants, including OG Kush mother… Apologies for bad pics…

the scrog…


Considerin going into flowering. Parts of the net are not even touched yet… 8 to 9 weeks in veg…

all opinions welcome!

Looking good. Seems like 9 weeks in veg that they should be much further along, but some strains are just slower.

Personally, if it’s been that long, I would flip to flower and move on to the next grow and hope for some more vigorous genetics.

Hi dear (hope you don’t mind) @nefrella, yep, and in hindsight, I assure you they’ve been stunted by a daring newbie’s too compact a soil. Lesson learned and, like others suggested, flip! Thank you!

I actually have a bunch of garden fencing I’m deciding to not use on my outside garden. Never thought to use it inside… sideways…
Genius. You’re a genius.
