[botlowsky]

Hello!

This is my 2nd run, and I want to scrog 3 Think Different. The girls are 28 days old, and start to hit the screen. I see many journy in AFN what useing srcog method, but I never see how they corset the main brench in to the screen. I start to flex them before they touch the screen, but I dont know it will be enought or not. If the main brench grown over the scren I need to corset it in to an another hole in the screen, but I'm affraid they will broken... :S
So if someone tell me how can I do this withouth a broken branch I will really greatfull. Here is a pics, but it 2 days old, the girs are grown a lot since I take the photo. Here is the time, when the Scrog magic need to start, I hope I will dont failed... Thanks in advice!

just wait till the shoot rises through the screen then tuck it through a different hole, till be fine anyway. i would raise them up a bit so you can do the same with the sidebranches personally. you want the whole plant growing on the screen, canopy underneath and the bud shoots above.

just keep weaving as it grows. when its properly flowering you stop and theyll rise up to form buds.

the older the plant gets the stiffer the stems become.

Thanks Man, I tought this to. The main stem is looking really thick. I fear if I need to flex the main stem it will broke. I dont topping them, because I think I can do it, but now I see the main stem is looking so strong. I know, there is no other choice I need to try it, but I just asked, manybe someone know some "trick" to this method. Tomorrow I will take some pics. Thx again!

no problem :thumbs: yeh if possible i wouldnt top just cause theyre autos youll lose some time.
you could slowly bend it into position holding it in increasingly bent angles until its back under again maybe?
plants seem to be bendier when theyre droopy before or have just been fed (after a few hours). maybe see if that helps though if its very stiff/woody that wont.

good luck anyway

scrog seems alot easier with the unlimited veg time you have with a photo.
