Well Its been a while since I have had the time to take some pics and then actually sit down and make a thread. On my last grow I flowered in 5 gal buckets and then just drilled holes in the bucket and tied down all the branches. It worked okay but wasn't fully utilizing all the light/space. I had really liked what two people did on his site, Tranoble with his flower beds and justaseed with his awesome scrog work. I thought what if you combined the two? I have a medical grow and my plant count is limited so I can't do a SOG with a lot of small plants. So I'm still using a bed just with fewer but larger plants, then using the screen to utilize all the light and space. I had a friend growing in raised beds and having great results so I got a few pointers from him and I was off to home depot. I built the bed out of 2x12's for the sides and then 3/4" plywood for the bottom reinforced with a few 2x4's. It came out to be 3 1/2 feet wide by 7 feet long. I used a 4" shower drain in the dead center and routed it so it was flush with the plywood. Then I lay'd down some poly, put sand on top of that and sloped it so the water/nutrients would drain towards the middle. Then I used a 20 mill pond liner on top of that and filled it up with Sunshine mix #4 with some chunky perlite added in. Then I spaced out 14 plants that had been topped once and vegged for about 2 months under a 4ft T5. I tried putting in a drip system but have yet to get it working to my satisfaction, so lately I just use a 15 gal res with a 500gph pump hooked up to a 1/2" line using it like a garden hose. I let the plants grow on their own for the first 2 weeks of flower then put the screen on. And here's the pics!:thumbsup:
