Indoor Growing Scrog

[Sandor]

Yeah, I made a honeycomb version as well... didn't work out Not what I'm looking for. Generally, I think that kind of thing is the right idea though - just needs to be done (a lot) better.

One of the problems I'm having is that everyone's setup is different, and thus, you'd need a buttload of different versions of the thing... so far I have two main versions, and I can make any I need, but it's work for each variation, meaning time, meaning money, meaning costs. I'm still wrecking my brain trying to come up with universal, good solutions. Have most, still missing some.

And then you'd need to make it all in the right material as well, PLA (3D printer default material) will do for a while, that's what my prototypes are made of, but in the long run that would most likely make for a low quality product.

Size is another issue of course, most 3D printers aren't all that large and combining prints comes with its own issues.

Making the things in a factory is not on the table, the costs for a single mold are 5 figures. No chance I'm doing that

But hey, maybe once I gave it all a bit more thought I'll post something and see how much interest there is, might make a small first run of the things and see how it goes... but only after I'm satisfied with what I can offer. Might also come up with some kind of a package deal to make schwazzing/harvest a blast entirely, if I can figure it out, also still missing some parts there... we'll see. But I always wanted to go into grow accessories, so fuck it, why not

I think it's most of everyone's issue even 420 has mentioned the amount of time he spends maintaining the plants. Would love to see something to make life easier would spend money on something if it was available. I've looked for individual scrog frames but not much available found these on amazon before but haven't tried them but the only thing I've found.

Milion dollar idea.Prolly the simplest solution is just using the tent frame with high cfm kits to add rigidity.Would work in a lot of situations. I've actually done this and it was still a little flimsy

For whatever it's worth, I've been able to make the Vivosun netting work in an un-planned-for-larger-than-expected footprint, 4'x2', by double netting. ( Single net only shown in this image. ) I used 12" zip ties, to offset the second net. If it's necessary ( don't think it will be ), I would just add a third net. Why not? Someone suggested 1/2" PVC slipped over the tent poles. Has worked well! There is still some flex to the poles/PVC, but definitely good enough as is, and I've pulled the nets very tight.

( And regarding the extra work with defol etc ... I find it kinda' soothing. Before dawn, coffee in one hand scissors in the other, Satie or Brahms on the loudspeakers, and marveling how these plants know how to do what they do. )

So my issue is getting to the back for defoliations I'm lucky if I have two sides of the tent to access. That looks like a dream to me beautiful

Yep, these are the nits that it would be great to try to document for new(er) growers. Really need to sent your tent up with 3 side access if you're going to do 420 method.
