I would build a frame, you don't want it coming down mid grow, that would be a pain.

Good point. I was also thinking plants might push it up to. I have a 4x4 tent. I'd like to do 4 plants. How high do you put the screen above the pot?

Dirty Hippie · Nov 24, 2016

I use shelf brackets attached to my screen and screwed into my wall. I adjust height by unscrewing and lifting. I adjust at beginning of my grow and leave it. plus I can stand on the side of it if I need to access inline fan or ducting ( which I had to do as one 6" hose fell and I had no exhausting). I have seen some other methods on here. use search function to find,

I have mine about 4" above rim, 6" above soil. I start LST early to restrict height. I have a pre scrog screen for my clones/ seedlings. I find tying down branches to be a pain when they are small as they gown to fast. So a small scrog screen with smaller holes is how I start off.

Do you top and lst or just lst when they are young?

I top early to get paired side shoots, my goal is 4 branches. I spread them out in a x.

this is the tutorial I used to get started. http://www.growweedeasy.com/scrog-tutorial#vegetative-stage
lots of great pictures for the method I used.

I think the screen squares are too large. It may work but ideally you want no more than a 2 inch square. Secondly it seems a bit late in the veg state to try and fill that screen. Maybe a few nodes sooner would have been good.

Healthy lookin stuff though

Dirty Hippie · Nov 25, 2016

looking good, but I would also use smaller squares. I use 2.5". And tighten up the screen a little. my 2 cents

I'm told she stretches 3x so I left a little room around to keep tucking. its getting thick in the middle of each plant now. worried it may get outta-hand. may have to start clear room soon. I also getting some twisting leaves, may still be a ph problem, or could it be the leaves turning to face the light causing this?, first time so I'm not to sure.

You're training them out really nicely!

Not sure from the pix, but have you cleared the undergrowth? Just in case you haven't, nows the time to have that done so they don't waste energy growing larf. There may be the one or other superfluous budsite you want to remove, so it may lighten up those middles you say are getting too dense.

As for the leaves, not sure. I do have distorted leaves but you can see it's from them bumping into the closet walls or from getting stuck halfways in a hole of the screen. So unseen, I'd say if you can't track the distortions back to such obstacles, yeah somethings awry. Just thinking along here... :bigjoint:

Yeah I definitely need to start clearing out some under growth, not 100% sure what to cut yet. I've been assessing it for a few days now. I fear mold problems if I don't. I'm going to start with the smallest and work up until I think I have enough air flow and room for good cola development. I'm going to update my journal tonight with pic's of progress and a few notes. Screen is almost full, yay!!!!! Also all my new leaf growth is coming in straight, ph was the problem.

Dirty Hippie · Nov 25, 2016

Nice, this looks great for tent grower who have nothing to attach to.

I like it but still think a hanging version is better for sake of adjustment and even easier construction.
