Indoor Growing Scrog

[Carl_Crane420]

I started a separate thread for my grow, but I got my inspiration here. Lots of great grows! This is my second.

Flattened her yesterday. Second picture is one day later (today).

OK newbie here. How is this for an idea to get around the access issue at the back for defol?
SCROG single plant in a square tent.
Lazy Susan table (big say 50cm or even larger for huge plants). Pot on top.
Two hoops, maybe floral hoops or even hula hoops. They must be slightly small than lazy susan.
They are mounted to the table around the plant, one above the other.
They are held up (like a cylinder) with pvc pipe or similar.
They form the SCROG frame.
You can weave twine in a square pattern (like a tennis raquet) across the top hoop.
For schwazzing/defol, just rotate the SCROG, along with the plant with the lazy susan.
I have not put much thought into how to build this yet. I am not the tradie type who knows the best way to do this sort of thing.

Next best way but much easier, is just to use a stand under the pot of course, to give a little room to work under.
I like the idea of a PVC jointed rectangular frame for this. Twine can be made very tight and much easier to remove from plants at harvest.
I have not tried this yet but want to use the schwazzing method in my next grow, having been inspired by Sensai.
My last grow was full of larf and I got rot too.

EDIT: A rectangular prism with square base would also work and much easier to cut to size with PVC tube. Hardware shops also sell joiners for these.
EDIT 2: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005225614259.html yoga hoop fits in my 4x4 tent
Buy a turntable and add a plywood base of appropriate size. LOL motorise and spin it around for equal light.
Buy PVC tube. Cut into lengths. Drill holes top and bottom.
Secure to hoops with zip ties.

They make tents that open on all sides, or at least 3, pretty convenient and you dont need all that contraptionry.

Day 86. Harvest in about a week, she's still adding buds and drinking about a half gallon a day.
Yep, I've done my first trimming 'on the vine', about 30 mins every day for the past week.
Have no idea what she might weigh in at, dry. ?

That's awesome. It's like a sculpture.

Can't be sure why a plant that was advertised as being typically "short and stocky" got so stemmy, and with so much distance between nodes. But I have a clue: I've read about "DIF", and this lady spent about a week in veg with at least 10 degree temperature swings between day and night -- lights were off at night, and unexpectedly cold overnight. I wonder if 420 has wider day/night temperature swings with his outdoor plants vs indoors, and if he has noticed a general tendency for his outdoor plants to have longer legs. Although she hogged tent space, her buds
did develop nicely along all the sides, almost zero larf, and she has been super easy to trim in place.

I haven't heard of "DIF", but in my experience, a lot of legginess comes from CO2 exposure and is a little less reliant on (overall) moderate temperature swings, at least in Veg. Obviously temps are super important, and there's big reasons why outdoor grows prosper at a particular time of year, and that variance would be seemingly fairly common in nature.

That all being said, I'm going to go look into DIF now and glean some additional info so thanks for letting me know about it!

Day 76 for now these Sawney Knightmares, still ph6, ec1.3. There's still so much leaf material to pluck and it's a daily challenge to keep up with her.
