Peace GC! How are you all this evening? So since I started growing (150cm high tent) I've been scrogging due to the aforementioned. I took the plunge into allowing my girls to grow naturally (a couple of autos nonetheless as supposedly they're relatively small) but boy I wish I didn't! Anyhow my scrog is currently made out of overflow pipe and strimer wire (pics below) and I was wondering what you guys use for yours? It's quite hard to water scrog set ups evenly because of the dense bush, has anyone managed to overcome this? Peace GC! ️ Sent from my F5121 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Looks good! I'm on day 26 of flower currently. How do you get around watering the bush? Or are you soiless? Sent from my F5121 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Oooh hence the pretty colours! Is the 315w a CMH/CHD? Sent from my F5121 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
To water really dense growth I cut a hole in a gallon jug lid, put some tubing in the hole, and hot glued it so its water tight. All you have to do is put that lid on the gallon jug and it makes it really easy to water in tight spots.
For ease in watering under the screen, I just jammed a length of clear tubing over the spout of a cheap plastic watering can. Just enough tubing to get the reach I need.
My net is obviously made of pvc and masonry line. I use hydro halos to water from outside the tent. I just attach a 1/2" tube from the halo and attach a funnel to the other end and pour while I'm standing outside the tent - very easy.
That's a great idea! So simple and very cost effective. Certainly going to consider that Sent from my F5121 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Again with the tubing! This looks like it's a winner Sent from my F5121 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
The materials for the net at Home Depot - $15 to $20 and I don't remember where I bought the Hydro Halos - somewhere on line - just google it - they're not very expensive.
I have a sub irrigated planter under my scrogs. That's a 15 gallon fabric pot sitting on top of a resivior full of crushed lava rock and water. The sips allow me to go away from home without the need of watering for a bit which is a big bonus. I also use a garden sprayer to mist the soil. My screens are pvc and braided masons line. Braided is way stronger and has less stretch then twisted masons line.....I'm a mason, take my word for it
What kind of materials for the net are needed? Can you use the net system from start to finish? All you'd have to do is adjust the highth?
Pvc and mason line for the net. The net can't be moved once the plant grows into it. I place the net 8" above the top of the pot and that's where it stays.
Mine hangs to save on building legs or buying materials. I can also flip it up and it stands along one wall when not needed. I just undo 2 clamps and zip tie to the other side.
