Scrog complete! Now to install it...
I've finally completed my screen for the Scrog! It took a couple of attempts (mainly due to impatience) at gluing it together so that it didn't come apart under the tension of the string.
I used some wood from my mums garage, measured it out so as to allow room either side to get in underneath it and used Araldite resin to glue the frame together. Make sure you screw in the eyelets before you glue the frame since it's far easier to hold the eyelet in a pair of pliers and spin the wood around to screw it in.
Use string rather than chicken-wire because wire has very little give to it and so the plants may end up budding around the wire itself, making it hard to cut away. Besides that, string is a lot easier to cut and be rid of when it comes to harvesting and it costs little to replace anyhow.
Here's a pic of my finished scrog frame:
And here is the pics of my two plants:
Plant 1:

Plant 2:
They are looking very healthy and the roots took to the re-potting, growing down and out the bottom of the pot once again (does that matter? Seems inevitable to me) They are also very distinct from each other, plant 1 having very sharp, classical leaf shapes and plant 2 being much more curly and messy.
Anyone here knowledgeable enough to hazard a guess at what strains they are? I annoyingly mixed the seeds up right at the start during germination! They are either AK-48, Northern Lights or Papaya (the third being the runt I gave to my dad).
So who wants a crack at being the first to guess?
Next up, fixing wedges to the sides of the box to drop the screen down onto. I was going to nail wooden blocks onto the sides but I think that larger eyelets screwed into the sides will probably be easier. Will keep you posted!
