I have a 2.5' x 2.5" x 6' Hydro Crunch grow tent. I'll be the first to admit that I am surprised at the low quality of the tent, and doubt it will make it through a second grow without at least one or two minor/moderate repairs. I also am doing a soil grow, and decided at the last minute to do a SCRoG. I have no idea about genetics or strains as these came from a bag.
1) Anyway... Of course the inside has reflective material, however, I have a lot of brand new Mylar laying around. Would going ahead and taping up the inside walls with the Mylar instead provide at least a noticeable amount of light being reflected back towards the plants? I am pretty sure that the reflective material inside the tent already is not Mylar.
2) Tucking during the SCRoG. I am a bit confused as to the manner of "tucking". One or two things that I have read said that you weave the cola through the strings (or whatever makes up the screen); over this one, under that on, over this one, and on and on...
Then I just found another couple of articles that say that "tucking" really isn't tucking, except for the shade leaves that come off the cola branch. That you leave the cola branch under the screen. When the tip of the cola grows a few inches through that whole, you tuck it back under the screen towards the next whole. This makes me think that there is nothing in place to hold the weight of the colas as they get bigger.
Sooo... Which is it? Do I keep the cola underneath the screen (maybe tying?), or weave it over and under the screen so that it has some support and doesn't ever sag?
