If I can level with you ... your tent is already pretty packed with a lot of tops and I am not sure that you need anymore LST. You don't want to overcrowd the area and affect your air flow. You already have the potential for a good harvest.

Just my $.02 ...

It's the weaving (labor) that I'm trying to get away from. The whole intent of a SCROG is to force horizontal growth which increases the number of colas when the side branches become tops.

I was thinking about installing a trellis net (as usual) and then laying a screen directly on top of the netting. This would prevent ANY vertical growth and force everything horizontal with little intervention by the grower. Once I have the screen filled to my liking (4-weeks or so), I would remove the screen and flip to 12/12 and allow for the stretch over the next 2 weeks or so.

I'm going to give it a shot on my next grow. I'll post the results in a few months.

And then are you going to weave during the stretch or just let them grow straight up

Did some top dressing today. Coming along nice. The autos are okay nothing impressive but okay for no effort applied. I shouldn’t have transplanted them and started in the bigger pots but hey love and learn. I don’t plan on running any more anyway.

Day 43 of 12/12.

had to brace the left hand side.

This scrog wasn’t ideal im not what I call proficient with this method yet lol.

I am contemplating a second layer of screen to help with more support when I redesign the scrog to incorporate a decent floor standing frame.

Those are some long branches with some healthy looking tops. I think a second support trellis up top is a good call. And I bet that you will still use the trellis when you do use the solid frame net as well. Always good to provide support up top for fat bud.

First pic...How do you make the roots so happy? Is the bag sitting in a bucket or something? All the white escaping the bag :clap:

These are 5 gallon pots sitting on pot risers (so the pot is never touching stale water)
In the beginning of veg, i try to build the roots by watering just enough.
When flipped to 12/12 i smash out 6 feeds a day.
The roots go crazy during about week 2-3 into 12/12.
I wish i could tell you exactly why/how it happens but I'm no plant whisperer.
