Do you trim during flower? Doesnt that stress the plant? I know what im doing so if you could give me a basic run down I would appreciate it....thanks and hope things work out well for you, come out to cali where things aren't so bad.
Hey Cyclonite,

Maybe I can add some.
I'm not sure how many plants you want to have under the screen.
Are we working from clones?
6 plants per state law... 4x4 screen.
Mother plant + 2 veg + 2 flowering?

You say you first veg them, then move them under the screen when you put them into the flower cab.
Can you build a second screen?

Try and veg them into the screen.
When you move them into flowering, move them with the entire screen.
Possible?

In this link, there are pics of when I did my SCRoG.
In post #71, bottom-left picture shows a cool shot of them getting trained into the screen.

That was passing the shoots through the holes...
but not quite 'threading' the plant into the screen.
Trying to 'thread' the plant, is, IMHO, too much.

It's better to pass the branches through the holes, spaced apart like 4-5 inches or something.
In between, you can use the little gardening wires.
I would cut off a 1.5" piece, and bend it into a "C" shape with a little 'handle' on top. Then I could grab the handle and lower the branch, position the C-clip, and release.

I'm sure you'll do super!
But I believe to veg them into the screen from little is essential.

Hope that helps somewhat.
And I hope Snoop posts... no hijacks wanted.

Best Regards,
