That plant looks awesome bro! I am currently doing almost the exact same type of grow myself, i thought i was the only one to think of using two screens in a scrog but i guess not haha. I put a screen right on top of my pot like you did(my soil is about two inches below the top of my pot) but ive been tucking the branches back under, but I think you have a better idea of just tying them back down to the screen. Ill post some pics to show my setup you as soon as i can. Im subbed and cant wait to see how yours turns out, im only about 18 days into veg so your a little bit ahead of me. Its cool that I now can follow your grow and kinda get an idea of how mine will turn out. O and my box is 1.5' by 1.5' by 2.5', im vegging with 120w of cfl's(1 65w 5000k,1 30w 3500k and another 25w 5000k on the bottom for supplemental lighting) and will use 150wfor flowering(ill switch the 25w 5000k with a 25w 2700k and add a 30w 2700k), so im working on a much smaller scale than you but doing the same thing. Im hoping that if have a couple lights under the canopy it will help produce more budsights??? Maybe we can kinda compare and contrast results. Looking foward to tyour next update.

Week 10 Veg
- Built up the rest of the screen again to help see how to direct the branching ect. 2 squares on each side and 1 on top need to be filled before i stick her into flower. She's not looking as nice and full as last week... oh well.
- Cleaned up the underside of the screen today, removed old yellow leaves and what not.
- She's on the same feeding schedule as she's been for the past couple weeks, was given a full strength one today.
- This heat wave is bringing lights on temps to 32C and lights off 27C, not ideal, but it shouldn't last long.
- Havn't trimmed anything off all week, just tucked. Trying to minimise on stresses to speed up her growth. If i can stick her into flower 3 weeks from today it'll be pretty much perfect. I'm also letting her grow naturally most the time now, instead of tying down everyday.
- Will give her a spray with Groigen tomorrow to help her along, although the stuff STINKS of warm dry sick.

gd stuff, send a link over if u decide to do a journal, interested to see what u got in mind.awesome.. i am starting one..
Well then, as i said, u got ur hands full! Should be pretty prime come a couple months, if not in a few weeks. Keep the updates/reminders coming.
If all goes to plan, or i could end up with overcrowding and mould issues or something, been there before but for different reasons. Anyway time will tell...
Cheers! I guess keep at eye on this journal and learn from any mistakes i make. My cab is ... around 30inch x 18inch x 6ft, got around 1.5sq ft more than u in terms of footprint, so hopefully u shouldn't need to veg anywhere near as long. I dont know how u plan to grow it regarding topping it ect, but u should be able to get something real nice and bushy in that space, she'll love the 150W when the time comes. I used a T5 light for the very start of her life, left it a good 8 inches above her and she stretched a little, perfect for bending her over to get her going, depending on how ur gona grow her, try and achieve something similar. I'm not one to delve into all the "k" figures, i just keep it simple and generally stick to HID lighting. Adding lighting under the canopy will provide the bud sights lower down the branches with light, if u havn't trimmed them off. I wouldn't bother adding the lights under the canopy until flowering anyway, then at least u can see where the bud sights are and how effective it will be.
She says thankyou

- Did a bit of work on her today, can see good growth since the last time i tied her down. After everything was done i gave her a good spray with Groigen.
- The pictures below kind've give you an idea of how she'll start looking come the start of flowering, except hopefully ther'll be a hell of a lot more bud sites.
- A lot of branching has just started and has been hiding under the canopy for the past few days, hopefully now it'll have a chance to get some light and catch up.
Before: (saturday just before lights on)

Hopefully, however that's not the main target here! A perfectly flat bud canopy is. If i was going for the biggest harvest i'd probably space the branching out more than i'm going to when i train her through the second screen.ҖҗlegilizeitҗҖ;6395446 said:

wow you put in alot of work for her. how long does it usually take you to tuck those in?

U have no idea! when i used to tuck her in on a daily basis things took like 30 mins. Now i leave her to grow for like 5 days at a time things take like 2hrs + to tidy up. Never given a plant so much attention as this one.
Lets hope the end result matches the idea.
