Grow Room SCROG Frame : Fixed in Place???

[Give Pizza Chants]

Okay Weed Wackers:

Here's my first-timer bright ideer: (try not to giggle)

I was thinking of building a scrog frame attached to the walls around the perimeter of my 3'x4' closet.

The frame section at the front door would be removable when not in use.

I would insert wood screws every 3 or 4'' apart along the top of the frame to lace thick string back and forth to form a scrog GRID.

This grid could be cut away when no longer needed.

So here's my question:

Let's say my bag pots are 12'' tall (because they are.)
I'm gonna be running (4) 3500k auto cobs / growing in Roots 707 & Mega Crop.

How high from the floor would I want to install my scrog frame??

OR

Is this the most moronic concept since shake weights and I should stick with smoking banana peels??

Let me Google search, 'SCROG distance from seedling'


"You are effectively “training” the marijuana plants to grow in your desired direction without having to do anything harsh that could affect growth adversely. The distance between pots and the screen should be 20 to 25 inches.

Just read this in entirety.
Excellent guide.

How come you don't scrog?
Is it difficult?
Don't you get more yield per sq ft?
(noob dunno...)

Keep in mind that most searches and tutorials are based on photoperiod strains that veg for months.. Some autos don't grow over 2 feet tall, so you may want to adjust that a bit. I put my diy net about 10in above my plants and adjust it as needed. I cant say that there is a set height. Every plant is different. One may be taller than the others, or grow faster than the others. Gotta take all that into account. If possible, make it adjustable.

uhhhh-HUH.....
That's what I was afraid of.
This strain is Northern Lights and it was said it can get pretty tall.
But I know nothing first hand like you old salts.

I really wanted to make like a net cuz I thought it would be easier to work with than a 2''x4'' wire screen.

Do you count pistils or whatever to determine where to set it??

Stick to your plan bud! Just keep everything in mind when your building it. Pistils are the white hairs you see during pre-flower and flower, no need to count them. Most people with a fixed height screen/net install it at the begining of the stretch period/pre-flower, and start training at that point. Your question really is a tough one to answer when you really think about it. There are a lot of variables. How much height does your space have?

Pistils- what a first class rube I am.


I meant the branches as they fork out.
Whatever that's called....

Bear with me- last time I smoked pot it was about 3% thc and all mexican brown in 1985.
The only "pistils" I saw were on the cop's hips.

How much height does your space have?

9 feet to the ceiling.
