Indoor Growing Scrog

I'm going to try a double screen with Vivosun 3.5" netting, offset with the zip ties.
No idea if it will work. We need 2" or 2.5" inexpensive and non-elastic netting.

That sounds perfect, do you think you'll be able to cut the ladies free at the end with the right tools, that would be a big plus over my heavy rack The biggest issue I have is cleaning it after each use

You cant cut the plant out whole, but thats a pain in the ass anyway, just clip the branches where they come thru the net and lift it off after, if it gets covered in resin ill just toss it, i got a whole roll and it was super cheap like 50 ft x 2 ft.

I couldn't find any so I made my own with a PVC frame and nylon string I went 2.5". I had everything I needed besides the string so it cost me like $6-8 besides that all you need is 3/4 pvc pipe and fittings and 1" dry wall screws. Then I just zip tied the frame to the tent poles

I might do the same. Has 2.5" spacing worked well for you Dab?

Yeah I liked it even though its weaved its not like the bought nets you can move the string little bit side to side if it lands on the head or something. It definitely wasn't too small could have gone to 2" probably.

Thanks DOA! I will do my current seedlings' light similarly. Had too much light on them last grow and the main stem had no reason to stretch. It was so short and woody, at top-over time it ended up on the side of the block at a 45 degree angle. Will also use plant ties
to hold the 'top-over' wire tight against the stem below the bend, to keep it straight and centered on the block.

In case anyone might be interested ... I hung my Migro Aray in the tent, one 2x2' light, and took readings at 16" ( 40 cm ) and 20", ( 51 cm ). Light at 100% ( mine uses ~125 watts at 100% ). Using Photone and diffuser to measure. These numbers would be slightly higher with the front wall of the tent closed ...
24/7 on: At 20": 340 ppfd, 30 dli. At 16" from top of canopy: 480 ppfd, 40 dli.

Anyone have thoughts on this? ... Day 14 for top plant in photo, Dutch Passion Auto Power. Day 11 for bottom plant, FastBuds Lemon. Indentical situations from placing sprouts in wool. The top plant has had splotches like that since the first true leaves, although it seems to be getting slightly better. Watering 6-8 times a day, one or two shot glasses each time. The blocks were presoaked for pH and then presoaked in nutrients too. All distilled water, all along the way. pH has been 5.9-6.2 since day 1. I'm using a good pen. I'm following Dr MJ Coco's nutrient recommendation this round ( after having burned too many plants along the way ). Numbers on the chart are ml per gallon. Waiting on delivery of Diamond Nectar ( grayed out on the chart ) ...

The first scrog i ever ran i did the same!

Ph could be slightly high your on the upper end of range for hydro I thought most rock wool guys went to 5.6. I'm in coco and go to 5.8-6.0 could also be pen calibration when was the last time you calibrated your pen?
