Bonsai SCROG Training and Micro Managing

[Miiikke]

Going for a bonsai type scrog, plan is for 128 main colas on a 128 hole scree , each cola in its place and each flower stretch fimmed and control to maintain perfectly flat canopy, will setup each cola in late veg for at least an 1/8 dry on each one, my first screen is 17” x17”. I have about 30 more to top then heading up all level with 128 to the next screen which will be bigger, I havent calculated it out yet but I will continue to build my light further out with more 80 watt bulbs to cover the whole screen, cause I will require surface area rather than sq ft for my light, I have 8 ont there now. it will be kept as close as possible to maintain around 80* while lit. Got alot of shit on rollitup for the defoliation everyone talked trash and when I did back they banned me no one wanted to hear about the success I was having. I studied my first grow thoroughly and I have a very aggressive perspective on training but I have some really good ideas for what Im calling micro managing for bonsai style scrogs, my plant will look more like a flat top tree, Im working on the node branches and structure and foundation of the scrog right now I have have trained the plant from a seedling to require very little foliage, it has a high reaistance and is flourishing, all of these fan leaves woild have been removed adter anyway under the second screen. It is flourishing and growing at a good pace in my opinion. What do you guys think?

Wow. You go hard with that!
Tight screen Less is more,

but some beautiful images there.

Hi Thanks! The first screen is tight so I could “micro manage” I wantes to be able to land or turn up in any location, and it worked out great, I brought over 64 together and topping them all as they are ready. The holes are 7/8”. The next screen will be bigger with 128 bigger holes, they will flower over that screen

So what kind of veg times?

So what kind of veg times?

Im 10 weeks from seed. I know its small but that was my intention. Im happy to be at about 10” tall with an about to be 128 colas going straight up. I will contain horizontal growth and keep the 128 going up as single stem colas. One big fat one on each cola. Ill grow up enough to spread them and re contain the height on the way up and use the screen to weave again to even out the height, Ill grow about an expected three quarters more of my cola height in late vet as a pre flower, and then control the flower stretch with fimming so I stay completely flat until harvest

Looks like you have multiple deficiencies going on. You better get that thing healthy first before you flip. How big is that trellis?.
