I have abandoned my not so well built PVC structure and bought some 10' wood to make a 2x3 rectangular base the I have easily made the 2x3 base for the screen but I am ignorant when it comes to building things... could anyone tell me what I need to buy in order to nail legs to the base of my screen by legs I mean the vertical pieces of wood that are holding the top base of the screen it would be much appreciated every time I go to home depot there is literally no one there and the people I run to usually just give me dirty looks and seem very unhelpful i'm sure its very easy and standard what I need just don't have the knowledge off the top of my head.

hey everybody, another scrogger here. I do things a bit different than most of the reading I've found in here. There are tutorials in my sig that show my version of filling the screen. You may recognize them if you are active on any other boards, they've been around a few years now. Much of how I do it is the same except I don't trim anything, to me, the whole point of a scrog is to maximize the footprint of the light and to maximize the layout of a specifically manipulated plant (see my lst tutorial). I bring all that lower bud up and turn it into real bud, read more below if interested.

Props to Uncle B for making this resource possible.

Grow 'em up!!

All are looking good. Only tip I would give is maybe next time set your screen a bit higher, looks a bit cramped. Looks like you are watering from the bottom which is fine but that doesn't flush the salts out of the soil. Just a personal preference of mine to give ~12 inches between the soil and the screen so that I can get under there and clean out the unneccessary bits and water. I prefer to water top down to flush the salts from the soil. All in all looking good, keep up the good work, what is the strain by the way?

That's pretty bad ass!! Would be sweet to make the full 360. Have yourself a tunnel of bud. Lol..
I'd like to be a little 2 inch tall person and climb around in there once it's full of budz..

This is bagseed i found from some kush i had not to long ago, apprently master kush, but not to sure on that one..

But i dont quite understand what u mean by watering from the bottom? I usually just water on the soil in the pot, that blue bucket under it is so water does not end up in the tent.

How is that setup that the OP has in his pots?

The garden hose with the holes in it, i know it is to water, but what is the concept behind it?

Thanks

See? Again with the recommendations of stripping bud sites, I just don't get it. Those are all very capable of being REAL bud (but not with a 12" high screen)

It's like saying take 1/4 of your yield and throw it away,....Than,.......

Hey i kind of agree with what your saying but doesnt trimming the bottom promote more growth on the top, aka bigger buds, thus making a bigger yield? That is the reason y i did it, but i kind of regret it now because, well, there is no bud where bud is supposed to be lol, idk can u clarify on that.

My thoughts exactly!! I had my screen set at 6 inches above the plants last grow and had plenty of room to water and cut underneath.
Very little bud was cut from under the screen. I still pulled 8 oz dry from 2 plants.
Most budz were 12 inch long with a couple 18 inch
I just don't understand why throw away an oz or so of budz..
By sitting a screen so high. To each their own tho..

Yes, trim undergrowth and you will get a slightly better swell in your upper canopy. You also get a nice traumatized plant for a few days. My point is leave the undergrowth, make it upper growth and your weight will be better than if you stripped it and just got a slightly better swell. I had a few screens, about 6,7 yrs ago, still in soil, where we ran all kinds of different types of screen apps in the basement one run. We took the best 2 and raced them on the next run. Low screen, no prune but with heavy defoliation above the screen once the stretch is done is what outweighed the others each time.

If your screen is anywhere above 8,10", then I would prune below, the stuff will never develop so no worries for you bud. Try different stuff, it's what makes a grow personal.

True i actully read your tutorial which gave me a better understanding on scrog, the screen is now like 4 inches above pot and now i really regret trimming all the under growth, oh well, live and learn i guess.
