So much for that idea.

FWIW I have used the same scrog net for years, unless you get serious issues like bud rot then I cant see what threatening issues that it can cause.

Yeah, if ya wanna be mobile with your plants a floater per plant is a good option. Very handy when your growing multiple strains with different ripening times. Also handy in case things need shuffled around for cleaning or a mold or big problem. Can't do that with a framed scrog. Lots more examples on my thread ...

Ah ... I see what you guys meant by a floater. But I don't think that a floater works in my set-up.

But you can move things around with a frame. With the wood trim, I was able to move the plant, bucket and frame as one unit. The branches woven through the taut twine provided enough strength to hold the frame in place while in transit. By this point in their lives, the stems are the diameter of a quarter so there is also good strength in the main stalk. I was fortunate to be able to remove the ladies from the tent on those couple of occasions that I needed to.

This lady is on her way from the VEG shelf to the bloom tent

The frames slid into the notch ( you can see the notch just above the frame ) to keep the frame in place. There was just enough gap to allow the screws to slide in easily. But as the wood began to distort, that sliding in and out became a bit tougher. This was why I was thinking of putting cup hooks on the inside as I redesign the frames.

So I am looking to replace the wood trim with the 3/4" PVC and move the screws/hooks that secure the twine from the top to the inside.

I see what your saying. I just find it easier without the frame. Less weight, less bulk.

I also use smaller ones to train plants in veg stage.

I can fit 8 20x21 floaters in a 4x8 comfortably. Giving each plant its own 2x2 space. At times I'll run 3 12x12 floaters plants in a row making a run of 9 possible. With all 12x12 floaters I can run 12 easily.

Endgame....

I save time on when to flip them into flower. I just placed the floater and flip them. Train them under a few weeks then let them go. Easy scroggin.

Soaked the old net in a bleach solution Monday, and hung it in my lungroom yesterday. I grow in SIPs, and was smelling something going bad and worried one of my reservoirs had become contaminated, creating the foul odor. Well, thankfully the reservoirs weren't the source of the smell, but the old, bleached, now dry netting was. Going to toss it and get a new one. It smells gross. So much for that idea.

Try a cut piece of metal fencing. It won't absorb odor and is easy to clean and reuse.

I use the wire with 2"x3" holes. Cut it to the size ya need and no need to replace nets again.

Another nice way to use the wire is to hang your harvest. I use the large floaters I use for flowering. Pop them off the top and tie on a hanger. I use colored hangers to I'd strains.

Yes, looks like it works for you to produce the results you want, creating a nice even canopy. I'll see if I can find some at the hardware store. :peace:

It's just a small tweak of the scrog method and it works well for indoor growing so I just pass on the info. Maybe others will find it useful as well.

Ya would have been best to have used ISO for the sterilizing, handy for every grower to have.

Never thought of that. Have lots, but it's gone. Figured bleach would sterilize. Oh well, thanks for weighing in. :peace:
