Yeah, I definitely appreciate the advice. I've been a bit heavy handed already, I accidentally topped my bigger plant, which luckily turned out pretty well, and I snapped one branch doing LST, but it seems to have healed after being taped, and is starting to bounce back. There's a lot to learn, I'm just taking notes for the next grow at this point. lol
It's actually pretty amazing what a plant can bounce back from!
I’m a new grower just got a small tent so I’m going to have to scrog so I wanted to know for reference purposes mines is 2x2x4 
That's awesome, I'll definitely check it out for sure. I put the net up about 18 hours ago, I started out doing LST, and planned on just doing that the whole way through, but the plants got a bit out of hand, I figured it would be much more efficient to put up a SCROG net. LST is easier when you're dealing with a topped photoperiod plant that's super symmetrical, that you can defoliate the hell out of, without having to worry about the stress too much, but autoflowers are on a timeline, and stress can set you back a bunch, so im just tryna to be as efficient as possible.
My tent is a 4x4. If you stretch 1 plant a bit, you could fill a 2x2 pretty nicely. I could a fit 4 in mine and filled the tent. I'm certainly not an expert tho. lolThat looks like a pretty good scrog to me but I was wondering what are the dimensions on your tent if you don’t mind me asking
Appreciate it! Growing has been my happy place lately, it helps to keep me grounded. lolGood Job!
You're going to want to lollipop everything under the canopy that doesn't reach it. Whatever growth you have going on below the canopy line will rob energy from your canopy flowers.
Yeah, I plan on doing that in a few days to give some of the lower growth a chance to stretch, and possibly reach the canopy. Whatever doesn't, will be chopped.
Looking good! You’ll want to remove all leaves and bud sites below the net, looks like you’re around week 2 of flower, usually around day 21 is a good defol point, check for any herms in the lowers while you remove the leaves and bud sites , when you’re done you’ll want no leaves from the dirt level up to about a inch or 2 below the net, you may remove those later but I like to do it in stages, im just gettin ready for my next run once my 4x4 finishes then I’ll load up the other tent
Good looking out, I'm definitely learning everyday! That's a hell of a setup you got there, are those autos, they look big as shit? Those branches up top are reaching like crazy. lol. If they are autos, what week of flower are they?
These are photos, that pic was about week 2 from flip just finished stretch (over stretched but worked out great
) I’ll look for some pics of it late in flower so you can see the difference
OP, the above frames are a great way to scrog if you want to allow the scrog net to handle the lst for you. By that, I mean you’re gently tucking growth under the net when growth is taller than one square of the scrog net. The net functions as lst clips in this scenario. Here’s a tent-clippable 5x5 frame I built recently. The hole spacing size (3” below) is very important for easily tucking branches before they get too stiff.
I appreciate the input, it all helps. Yeah, I know this is more of a trellis grow, as opposed to a true "SCROG", I put the net up late, bringing it down to the canopy, as opposed to letting the canopy grow into it. I did it moreso to maximize light, while also helping with LST, seeing as they got bushy, and in an effort to not stress them out by doing too much defoliation, this is what I came up with. lol. Next grow will be better, and so on, as the cycle continues. I'm learning the habits and temperaments of autos, stress threshold, etc., that way I can dial in, and get the most out of my next grow.
Those look dense as hell, good shit! I'm working with a 400w led this grow, hoping I can still get some dense buds. That's why im using the trellis, I wanna maximize my light. This is my "test" grow, next one will be a proper SCROG with 6 girls in a 5x5 under a 720w light.
At what point should I stop tucking on an auto SCROG, I'm at about week 2 of flower, so the buds are already developing?
