Scrogging Questions??

[Cory B]

I'm on my first grow, I have 4 plants in a 3x3 tent, my question is if my scrog net is ten inches above my pots how am I supposed to get to the back of the tent to lollipop and prune. My plants are just hitting the net, should I take them out and do some pruning be for they start getting tucked and wrapped up in the net.

You won't need to worry much until 2 weeks into flowering is my understanding. Until then, give everything a chance to reach the net.

For now, do some stretches and follow up on your yoga lol

 

[Snakeskins]

The lower fan leaves are the biggest source of energy for the plants

Honestly I would take the net out and let them grow taller more. Like what was said before^^^^ I add my trellis 2 weeks after I put them in flower.

 

[Leew421]

Also take the rocks out of the trays. It will cause roots to grow out and pull up unwanted stuff. To encourage vertical growth go ahead and lolly the insides up to the last node of the branch. Removing all small growth helps a lot

 

[Snakeskins]

I think the faster you can make all the branches horizontal using your net the better. One of the points of a Scrog is to allow for all the new vertical growth to emerge while still in veg and still tucking and weaving. Just imo. You need to spend your veg time and tucking until 2 weeks into flower.

just to repeat whatSnakeskins just said if your putting the net on when they are already tall your not scrogging your supporting ! scrogging is training the plant from about 8 inches off the medium just like you've got it you will be able to control the stretch and spacing of your sites far easier training from the outset... and keep under the net clear of foliage after you've got some growth weaved into your net, and if you can a fan blowing between the pots and the canopy... a tidy scrog is the best yielding scrog:D... happy growing budski.

I thought with smart pots you need to the off the pans for air pruning to be effective.

 

[Leew421]

You do however having that will cause moisture to be present and it will root out

Hi leew421
You add your trellis after the stretch is over how.
I've never seen this technique.

Do you have pics?

 

[Leew421]

It's still stretching for sure. I have a diary growing I don't want to post pics on someone else's post. Look for plants and stuff

Cory, My opinion is do not lolipop yet.
Keep the thread active by posting pics and asking questions.
You will get tons of help

one other thing i found helped was to pull the growth down and stretch it along underneath the net as apposed to going over and under. only because when things start getting cramped its a lot easier to move the bud sites around. you can twist tie or something else if you need to keep them in place...:D

Cool I'll check it out.

I can't find your thread. I searched plants and stuff.
Can you tag me in it . Thanks

So let um be for now and start stretching out my arms for the future lollipop. I will keep the net set up and keep tucking once they start growing through, trying to keep everything under the screen. Then flip at about 80% full and keep tucking for the first week.

 

[Leew421]

That sounds great. Honestly its all preference in the end. It's how you want it to grow that's important

Different growers have different techniques.
Your plan will work great imo!

Once the canopy is as full as you want it then lolipop. 1-2 weeks into flower.
Don't know how much you prune but dont top anything 2 weeks before flip.

I only topped the three indicas once and some lst on the sativa, didn't see much need for more since it was branching out so well.
