Morning All!

I am beginning my grow in 2x 16l fabric pots in a 1.2x1.2x2.2m tent..

This is my first soil grow and also in this size tent. Previous have been in NFT.

I've seen a lot of scrog set ups, but never actually done one.

Should I do one considering size of the tent or should I just let them grow out considering I have a 2.2m high tent?

Thank you
I am just now starting to do my first one. You will be a bit behind me so you can look at mine and learn from my mistakes.
Or just do it differently and see what happens.

The other day when I was high I solved one of the world's greatest problems.
Unfortunately five minutes later I forgot what I was doing.

I think I'll try LST, seems like that I can get away without topping it as well, which scared me a bit haha

I have fabric pots so I'll try and use those folding paper clamps. Anyone have any links to string or things I can manipulate the branches with?

Cheers

I have tried a scrog a few times and not achieved a text book one on any LOL.

That was first try
Image
This one just got totally out of hand

Latest attempt

as you can see one grower can do things in many ways LOL.

I like LST. I use the green softee wire and embroidery pins to tie down.

heres some pics from my last one, it was blue cheese iirc, a couple of years ago, when i still had a bit of entheusiasm to tuck under every couple of days

when you do it right there are loads of bud sites. topping helps this, and the canopy stays pretty much the same height.
i scored 1.3 kilos from this lot. reeee sult

that's a good idea 💡
