Indoor Growing Scrog

[420autoflower]

Thx for the warm welcome. Was a bit busy, to instantly reply. But here's

I still use lot of my stuff from 20 years ago as well as what is available to me and does the job without breaking the bank.
Have to order some tubing , connector pieces and some fresh drippers , as my old ones were a bit too done for my taste. But other than that, I guess I've more than enough stuff to use.

For the scrog project I stay indoors with a 140x70x200 tent this time. Never used it , but a scrogged plant is shitty to move and when a maintanence guy has to come for whatever repair reason it's less stressful to just close a tent.
2 150watt led should work in that tent. i've also some left over filmmaking light led panels, which worked surprisingly well for under canopy in the past.

While not needed now, I still found 5 of the metal frame shown below, which looked pretty useful (it's 100x90cm). The metal on top are two fence elements.All could need a cleanup and bit of fresh paint. These fences are heavy and hold everything down but literally any net would work.
I don't think about using this indoors ever, but outdoors one day in the future this isn't that bad to have, especially if the roof elements are added and all 5 frames are connected. But puzzling the roof parts together is pain in the ass with no helping hand , just imagine it for now.
The still tiny outdoor grown zushi below is just to illustrate the idea of the frame better.

Our local "we sell only random crap nobody ever needs but it's so cheap, you buy it anyway"- store had - surprisingly- a small batch of these wham boxes in 36l and 62l for a undenyable price. On top another old pump and some timers.

Looks like you found yourself some cheap hydro parts bro. Always nice to find things at the thrift store or around the house to make your own grow equipment. I used scrap lumber that I had sitting around the yard and cut sections from an old rusty dog pen to make my outdoor scrog racks. Had to buy the casters (wheels) and some wood glue but that was about it.
Your outdoor scrog rack should work well. You can make more areas to tuck by just wrapping wire on the grate in a strait line if you have too much spacing.

She’s looking good @Carl_Crane420!
Canopy is filling in well and you have plenty of top sites for a high yield.
Great job on the defoliation! How often are you stripping her down?

We should get you some of these in the feature : https://dutch-passion.com/en/cannabis-seeds/red-tropicana-cookies

You up for it?

That sounds so delicious! At this point I'll run anything you suggest. I've only been impressed, and would be extremely honored to run that! So trip out, I'll post pics tonight but the SMC is fading purple in rings! Never seen it before but imagine a bud from top view and the tips of the leaves are green, then fade to purple, then back to green, essentially leaving a purple ring on the buds. I should be home by midnight and will post pics then! But yes! I would be so stoked to run that Red Tropicana Cookies! Tell me what I gotta do! I'm getting my iPhone back so will have good pics again tonight when I post!

Oh, didn't thought about that extra wire solution to double the number of free spaces. Good hack. Will steal that idea thx.

Love this thread, it's great information on here. 420autoflower scrog method rocks. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and the beautiful pictures. This needs more attention in the entire community.

I'm trying your scrogging in the next run in a slightly different yet the somehow same way , with some DP photos instead of autos, just not chosen which exactly. Probably it will become another zushi since I have few ready to scrog within next 2 weeks. Yet I'm open for alternative ideas, recommendations etc...
Could be fun to document , photograph and share the progress.

My last two scrogs in the 2x2x4 have been with Dutch Passion Photoperiod ladies and they have done stellar! Really proper genetics, not a bad word to say about em! I say if you're going for that super yield type of scrogs, choose something with a little more sativa in it so you can maximize the potential of all that stretch and cast less shadows from thinner leaves!
