Thread: How much height between light and net?

    Default How much height between light and net?

    Hey guys,

    I'm planning on trying a 1 plant scrog. I have a max of 33 inches to play with from top of pot (10l plastic pot) to the bottom of the lights (marshydro leds - 12 inches needed for flowering)

    So I'm basically wondering where to plan to set my net... I'm thinking I'll be setting the canopy at the bottom of the net and let growth tips through during the second half of stretch? I'll be working with a staring that can stretch 2-3 times itself in stretch

    I'm a long way off atm anyway but in general is there a ratio of space use ie 50/50 below/ above

    Tia

    ✌❤

    Have your net as low as practicable! Lower the better but don’t stop access to the top of your soil and be mindful of airflow under your canopy

    I'd assume that you're growing in a small space so you won't have trouble reaching the whole of the net from above?

    If the above is true then as Mick said just leave yourself enough room to still do what you've gotta do underneath. I also have an oscillating fan on the floor to circulate the air beneath the canopy.

    Give yourself enough room to get your hands under for working and clearing the fluff and shit so I would say mines about 10 inches, I would train it all under the screen till flips mate.
    I would recommend making your screen strong as possible so the plants don’t move it because there strong bastards when they get going and they’ll lift the Cunt in the middle for sure

    Thanks everyone. I've gone for roughly 13 inches from the top of the pot. Leaves me with 21 above

    The net is solid garden wire mesh 2 inch squares which I'll be wiring to the frame to hold in place

    Maybe 2 weeks and I'll get its actually started 😁

    Cheers dude. Is only a tiny space so access shouldn't be an issue

    It's just the 2 to 3 times stretch I'm worried about 🤔

    Don't worry about the stretch dude as your gonna train through the stretch, be tricky making the decision when to stop training though if you've not grown them before.
