I was considering setting a couple of these autoflowers outside to make room.
Now I'm considering doing a SCROG net.

I've never done that.
Am I too late?

It's a 3x3 space.
How many inches above the plants should I put the net?
Are there pre-made nets for a 3x3 space?

Any SCROG advice is welcomed.

Thanks.

Placing a scrogg net up is really a horse a piece. 6 plants in 5 gal pots id gonna take a lot of work to fit the space well. Maybe not with autos but I was advised in my 3x3 if I was gonna do more than 4 autos I should do them in 3 gals because in 5s theyd be likely to overrun the space and would need heavy pruning and training.

This is my 3x3 1 month and 6 days in. The auto is the biggest plant in the tent on the top right. Started budding a couple days ago but its still going strong. The other 3 are photo. I neglected a net because of harvest times and ease of pruning but the same thing can be accomplished with lst. Which is what I suggest for you.

A 3x3 is a tight space and once the net goes in and your plants really weave their way through, thats it. No more turning them or moving stuff out of the way. You gotta open your tent up fully to be able to get at all the plants.

If your gonna do it I suggest 2 nets, one at the canopy where it is now and another in about 2-3 weeks to help open everything up as they really stretch.

Netting to me is great for 1 or 2 plants in a tent 3x3 or under. Once you go more than that it becomes a huge nest of branches that, to me, are hard to maintain and keep defoliated and stuff. Nets really shine when you have enough space to move completely around the garden being netted. Which will work in a tent like this. But like for me right now. I can lst and defoliate each plant without having to unzip the entire tent, where as when I used my net on my 1 single photo it became such a hassle to defoliate when I chopped it down I chopped the net with it and it was reusable elastic one. It was great to help open up the middle of the plant but otherwise it made everything else harder.
