I made a hanging redwood scrog. I used 3/4" ripped pieces to make it happen, 2x10'+3x3'4" to make (3) 3'4"x3'4" squares. Each one of the squares has a 600w above it and the light coverage is about 54w/sq. ft. Below each square are 4x5 gallon (12 total per row) ebb+flow buckets that have some critical kush that's about 3 weeks along . I veg for about 4-5 weeks in a 4x4 tray then it goes into the buckets. I have 2 of those set-ups side by side and get a harvest every month :)

If you take some more time and veg your screen to 75-80% full before you flip, you will quadruple your harvest easily. Another 3-4 weeks would make a massive difference.

Hey Branch thank you so much for the advice :)
Yeah dude that's actually my first flower with that's system, I wasn't super sure what would happen lol. I'll let em get some more time and training in the veg room before I flip next time.

Hey peeps here's the girl at 2 weeks 12\12, I'm wondering if I should continue tying her down a bit longer or let her ride? Any advice? I'm also wondering when would be the time to defoliate the basement? Thanks for any help, this is my first scrog :)

If you have the clearance, which it looks like you do, I'd let it ride. You've got pistils happening, and it looks like your stretch is almost over. You can start tidying up the underside as well. I usually start around the second week and continue through the third. She looks good and healthy!

hawaiian snow under scrog and critical kush beside it lst
day 25 since flip consider it day 4 of flower of the hawaiian snow and day 10 for critical kush.(went by decent pistil formation to go by day one)
these pics are from day 21. still stretching 1-2 inches a day have about 30 inches more i can move my light up.
running a 600w in cooltube in 4x2x5 tent with temps maxing at 78. 6 gal pots of my own organic super soil mix top dressed with a kelp and hi p bat guano. vegged for about 30 days.
this is my first scrog think it will ever stop stretching? i have done very light defoliation not really my thing plus rh is hovering around 20% so mold is not much of a problem. just like some general pointers or heads up if anybody has anything.
hawaiian snow scrog made out of bamboo and 550 cord(expecting heavy buds =)

blue widow lst with paper clips. switched to scrog much easier but cannot take plants out of tent which can be a pain but so far easier to maintain a proper canopy.

Some sativa leaning strains are monster stretchers like that. I had a sativa that stretched all the way up to like day 45. It looks like you have kept things pretty close to your screen, but it's not exactly pistil heavy for the amount of flowering time. (It IS an 11 week strain if it's GHS - probably closer to 12 or 13) It might keep stretching, but I seriously doubt it will stretch 30 inches more unless something else is at play. I prefer 50/50 crosses unless I want something special. When I run unfamiliar (sativa strains in particular), I tend to flip when a screen is about 50% full to avoid having a tent explosion. Keep some ties at the ready, and strap her down further if she gets too lanky.

Hey peeps I got a question should I only use femmed seeds for a scrog grow or could I put the femmed pots in back and put two regular beans in the front. This is my very first time so really thinking about dropping the scrog for now and maybe see how I do with sog. I'm working with a 24"x31" area so this might be too small for 4 plants please help me make up my mind. I was also wondering can you tie plants over in veg and then sex and then put scrog up and start working it? Just an idea that ran through my head but honestly I have no experience at all total newbie! Thank you to any and all replies for I'm just a little lost and not sure how to proceed. Thanks Bearton

Clones are best. Feminized are doable. There is a wealth of information here, please take the time to read it. If you have no growing experience at all, then I wouldn't even get a screen involved just yet.

from earlier in the thread:
---Why clones, by the way? By the time you find out which plants are male and female from seed, it would be impossible to extract the males from the foliage wound into the screen and fill in the gaps with female shoots, without a real mess on your hands. Seed plants also waste several inches of height before a mature stem section is reached from which branching can begin, whereas clones branch right from the medium. Height control is typically a limiting factor in cabinet growing. With female seeds it may be possible to grow a predictable scrog by raising the screen height, making up for the wasted stem length. Seed plants may react differently to forcing as well.

Thanks for your reply that was kinda what I was thinking too so probably gonna just grow some sog this time or just a few till I feel comfortable.

Iv had good results with a loose type sog, dividing the area with twine into lots of uniform cubes and simply guiding nodes and colas as they fill out or stretch more depending on the strain... a loose frame work rather than a wall of weed.

So same concept as scrog but much more forgiving if there happens to be males huh?

Seedling stage was done with 8 26w cfls. After about 2-3 weeks they were move under a 400w led. These were started from seed on dec 1.

Just changed the timer and spectrum. Here is a pic from 5 mins ago

Do you have mixed strains in there? I can't tell from the photo and the lighting if they are as sativa leaning as I think and the space is the size I think (around 2'x2'), but you are going to have a fight on your hands over the next couple of weeks if height is an issue. You will want to pay attention to where the light falls off as far as penetration (things will start turning pale and wilting where they don't get enough light) as they stretch. You will want to remove these areas so the plant doesn't waste resources on them, and may have to watch how much foliage you build up to avoid mold. Keep the ventilation and temps in check as the growth thickens up. :clap:

What kind of LED are you using? I got cfl's to veg and was thinking about getting a LED off amazon a 500w oceanrevive . The LED's really seem the way to go.
