Welcome Icha,
Good to see you again my friend!
You mean physical location?
Not a good state to get caught growing, even for your own meds.

USA?

I asked where you were because if you are in the USA you can go here to get crop netting cheap.

Get the 6x6 not the 6x7. It is much easier to cut to size.

Thanks,
My hydro store guy gave me a package that is 5' x 15' that is 3.5" x 3.5" and I will be able to cut to size.
6" x 6" would probably be better but it was free. He gives me lot's of stuff and his prices for Canna products are damn near as cheap as the online stores with no shipping cost. Plus they are cool folks, they like the fact that I am a 70 yr old cannabis grower for my own meds.
I am thinking attaching to to base of the frame and gradually raise it to force all bud sites toward the screens, then attaching to the top of the frame. I am sure this will need to be loosely hung, just enough to keep them buds off the lights.
Well that my theory or guess, LOL. Oh, and he gave it to me for free, big factor.

Day 41 12/12
Day 38
Day 41
This was day 41 group shot, Critical Kush
in the middle and I am not please with this plant at all, have grown it before and it performed about as well the last time. Very wirey, slow bud development breeder say's 58 days, no way will it be ready in 18 days.
Day 42, now the G13 says 74 day average, that's another 32 days, those bitches are going to be hugh and heavy.
Still manipulating the branches around to fill blank spots, got a feeling really don't need to with the increase in bud size I am expecting. I do hope.

What are you going to do if the buds above the top of the screen get heavy and start to flop down? I built smaller screens that can be attached to the top of my larger screens just for this reason. I installed PVC tees at the screen corners and the small screens just slid right in.
Some thing to think about.

Things are looking really good in there!
Not all strains will do well in any given setup. I ran and discarded plenty that didn't agree with mine. Don't feel bad about cutting those that don't do well in favor of those that do.

I had a strain called X. Fucking shit grew over the top and then bent over and back down 2.5 feet. Shit pissed me off so I got rid of it. Then every one was like shit I need some more of that X. Haha glad to get rid of that fucker. Floppy ass shitty plant that one.

Maybe it just needed topped more often?

No all this was after going into flower. It stretched about 3 feet in flower. Not a good choice for vert.

I've topped some stretchy strains two weeks deep in bloom and they did well.
But if it won't behave and yield in the space alloted then it's not a good choice.

I could have put it in smaller and let it fill in but it was the first time I grew it and I was new to growing so let it go. Now if I had it I could run it better but there are better strains available.

I have some netting I plan on putting one the plants to lift them up and away from the light;.]

Thanks bud, I know they will be fattening up a bunch.
Yeah, thiis is the second time I I tried running this strain in vert, last time thought it was all my FKups, but will not run it in vert again.

I find that when the buds sagged like the pic I posted above that they got light on the backside and filled out better.
I may have had more room than you do and maybe I'm attributing the results to the wrong cause, YMMV.
In any case, I'm thoroughly enjoying watching what you're doing right now.

I like them to sag as well to get light in farther. But you have to make sure the branch does not split where it joins the main stem.
