cant find anything on beginning a SCROG setup please explain

[brian8472]

ive seen pictures of this and have been told about it from a friend and i want to preform it. right now i have 2 small sloned almost a foot tall (5 weeks old) so i wanna begin training them for scrog if anyone can tell me/ show me with pics that would help i need to know:

how and when to start manipulating the bud sites through some kind of thin matereal (any suggestions on what types are good?) and how do i proceed from there? ive only seen pics of established scrog setups not how to start or maintain them so any info from a scrog grower would help alot tks

dude you cant make the buds grow exactly where you want them to. maybe i'm wrong though. the point in scrog(screen on/of green) is to manipulate how far out the plant grows. i'm not really sure but i think you do it so you can maximize your growing space and manipulate the lighting easier.....i'm not an expert or anything. http://growscrog.com/home.php

hear ya go http://www.overgrow.com/edge/showthr...light=madrican this is one of the best small scale scrogs ive seen. ill be using the same type of method on my grow, some minor differences, but same light

thanks dread, i kinda know what im doing now 2 things tho, what big name stores sell good chicken netting or whatever it is you use? and the other question: would it be viable to tie them down too so that all the bud branches push upwards? i would assume this would work great because the netting is also there to guide them and prevent them from falling over these things are still very manadable so somone answer fast i wanna tie them down tonight

sup B, i found chicken wiring at walmart and kmarts, i think ace hardware has it also if you have one around you. if you cant find it at any of those places, you could always check with the local feed store. it doesnt have to be just chicken wire. some of the wire i saws diameter werent not large enough to train a plant through. as far as tying them down, whatever you feel works to fill that screen. thats all youre really doing just control the verticle growth.

I just threw my plants into 12/12 about 3 weeks ago but i had a floro that was giving off light underneth my three big plants. they are about 3 feet high and basiclly hitting my lights i am going to scrog and get some 10-60-10 fertilizer this weekend as i was advised by shade 420 but my question is when i put the chicken wire should i pull the plants threw it or let them naturally go since they are so very big???

if youre 3 weeks into flowering, youre too late. your vertical growth has prolly slowed down and will not grow much more. maybe if you did this 3 weeks before flowering, you woulda have got it. you may jus have to wait till next round, and to prepare, if you have sex showing, take some female clones for this project

Home DePOT sells poultry mesh-chicken wire in like 4 different sizes, from 1.5" to 3" holes i think it is... in the building materials dept, by the ladders and concrete mix.....
