My tent is only 4' tall so I run a SCROG to control the height. You have an extra foot but if they get really big they might get too close to the light.

I've thought about putting together a SCROG system. What do you use? Did you make it yourself? TIA!

I made my own screen. I went to the hardware/home-improvement store and got some nice thick string that doesn't cut into the plants, aluminium u-profiles for the frame and then I bolted them together using 90 degree brackets. I then put some shrink wrap around the joints so it doesn't slide and also doesn't scratch up the tent poles. It works well and doesn't take much space around the edge.

I just popped over and looked at your current grow @dirty budster! Very impressive. I like your screen and it seems pretty simple to make. I may give it a go! I sure could have used it in my current grow. Those plants are bushy and full of huge leaves.

Thanks @MediJane , it's pretty easy to make, the tedious part is drilling all the holes. I think having the screen made up of string instead of a net is an advantage as you can pull on it to make holes bigger while pulling the branch through instead of having a fixed hole size with a net. I used holes that are 5x5 cm or 2"x2" and that is perfect.

Thanks @Loud Pipes. Do you have a journal going?

Nope I don't have a journal but I can post a couple of pics on Saturday if your interested otherwise I'm going to post acouple of harvest pics. I'm really liking the way the TD is growing

Makes sense to be able to adjust the openings. For sure!

Here's the pics I promised. This plant is 34 days old today and just about 18" tall and in the middle of a pretty good growth spurt. Anyhow heres the pics. Mars hydro, soil and TD
