I was wondering if I am too late to Scrog here. The situation is simple....my plants are crowded and huge. I am 17 days into flower on 4x4 tables, one of which has no netting yet. This picture isn't the table but to give you an idea what I am dealing with here.
The tool of a trellis is highly valued in the cannabis cultivation industry. As you will see if you have not already(high times, treating yourself, skunk mag, etc.), most all production type "professional" gardens are utilizing netting of some sort to support the ever growing cola size and weight of dense flowers. The trellis also supports the structure in the vertical position which is actually key to proper development. I have used net, web, fence, mesh, etc. to do just everything, most often its SCROG or trellising. Many times I have helped folks improve on there situation and typically, trellising is one of the first suggestions I offer to someone begining to flower a "trained" or manipulated plant that is unsupported. The method of scrog brings several things to the table that trellising does not however, support is by far one of the most overal benificial. Keeping the "keepable" parts of your plant in the "zone" of which you are providing the most energy (distance away from light source that remains within the range of full intensity) means you are utilizing what energy you have paid for. Getting the most out of what we put in, is usually an objective and or should be. In order to do that, our rippening flowers cannot be leaning farther and farther away from the "source". (in a scotts lawn guy voice "Support em!, Support em!")
Ladys with big tops, need support. (we call it our Cannabra, ok no we dont its a secondary support system in my garden... LOL)
