If i could rep you 100 times i would.... that post was spot on.
(edit, this journal Isnt about any of that!)
Yes sir i did, was actually pretty damn easy, as long as you have the right tool! As long as you have a saw that's got those tiny tiny teeth then you should have no problem, just dont go at it with a wood saw. Google air pots, you get them in loads of different sizes. Maybe if you want a really wide one thats quite shallow in depth you could get like a 30L air pot and literally cut it in half. Obviously the bigger the volume the wider the pot/base. I had to cut this one down due to the height i got to work with in my veg cab

Lilindian, I haven't grown a chocolate berry so I don't know how they act. I have one concern, with so many bud sites are they going to grow enough vertically to go through your second screen? This may be a moot point since you are letting them grow up right from your flip to 12/12 instead of to keep training them horizontally. I did not let my branches come up soon enough and now I have a super skunk with a load of what will probably be golf ball size nugs instead of nice colas.
This is all conjecture on my part, what do I know? This is also my first scrog attempt. I do have some chocolate berry beans so I am very interested to see how your grow turns out.
Here's a pic of my skunk nugs. I'll post more pics as the grow progresses.

I dont know why you dont switch to flower now!? I was gonna do something similar using gutter screen to cover my pots so I can tie them way close to the soil without having the leaves soaking in the mud when I water... and then let them grow to a higher screen that has a lot more sq/footage than the pot, your plant is already covering the full sq/footage of your box, I cant see how you would get a bigger yield adding another screen ... the bottom section wont get any lights!? just a thought, nice plant, good luck!

he needs another screen because he obviously likes to get high and build things with kinnex.

Appreciate the concern man, i share it with you. It leans more towards a sativa like plant so hopefully it'll have a decent stretch. I moved the light up a couple inches today and am considering placing the screen 2" lower to start getting them into their squares nice and early, so i can let them stretch up and move the screen up if and when need be. Saying that though it'll be easier to get the branches sorted if they were all say 4" long, so i might wait a bit, sort of in 2 frames of mind. I think i'll pick the final height of my 2nd screen after the stretch and leave it at that. I could well end up with loads of little golf ball sized nugs, my (hopefully) cola's will be bunched quite close together so i don't know how much light penetration there will be. 1 reason for the 600W. Thats why i'm trying to space everything out perfectly evenly hence the 2nd screen, make the best of a potentially bad situation, and as legally said getting high and k'nex go well together!
Havn't come across any chocolate berry grows myself but truth be told i havn't looked that hard.
Appreciate it, i'll try head over to ur grow soon, return the favour.

- Gave her a small introduction to Bio Flores today, made a 3/4 veg 1/4 flower mix of nutes. Over the next 2 weeks i'll slowly build up the Flores Nutes, and reduce the Vega Nutes, and at the end of the first 2 weeks of flowering i'll start introducing Bio Boost.
- She's growing relatively well, quite a few branches are fighting for top spot but hopefully they should still stretch quite a bit when the branches above go for it.
- Considering lowering the 2nd screen by 2" and training the plant through it early as appose to later when the branches are longer, just as a precaution so i don't end up with the screen like 3" below to tops of each branch as Heads Up stated. Will sleep on it a few nights and then decide.
- Temps inside are a little high, sitting at 30C. Think i might need to upgrade my RVK to a dual speed 6.4" one, shifts nearly double the amount of air! If so, will consider using the spare one as an inlet fan to suck air in. Will be more affective than the current 2 combined for sure.

this one looks like a pile. The view is unreal. Like massive vine plant, or something from the jungle plants who cover all the surfaces. You should be scared of that it will cover your bed while you are sleeping
Funny you mention that, i was watching BBC life earlier, specifically the plants episode, and they've time lapsed half a year of growth in the jungle into less than a minute. They have loads of shots of different plants growing in time lapse, including vines! Some scary shit. When everything's sped up they look properly alive!

Hey lilindian. I see you're tucking leaves under the screen. I guessed you were doing that in the beginning to allow more light to reach budding sites so new branches would sprout a bit quicker. Are you still tucking leaves with new sprouting in mind or have those tucked leaves just not recovered fully yet from earlier training/tucking sessions? Or do have another purpose in mind?
Excellent grow and thread btw.. following this daily with interest

U guessed correctly. Thats why i initially did it. I wanted to grow out 87 branches. Now i know i have at least 87 tops there's no need to tuck the fan leaves unless they're covering one of the other tops. A couple days ago i cut off all new potential branching i could see, as i dont want any side branches now, i just want the ones i have to grow longer and up. The leaves you see tucked under the screen are just there because its a source of energy for the plant, and there's no reason to take them off. They might not be getting that much light through the canopy but 95% are still healthy and green, so if and when they yellow, i'll take them off. New leaf isn't really getting tucked. In fact i cant tuck leaves anymore anyway as i want her to grow up now, her tying down to the first screen days are temporarily over.
Thanks for the interest.
Cheers man, appreciate it. Thats probably the 4th or 5th different spelling we've had!
