Just keep tucking the new growth under the net…

Looks like time to trim it down below your canopy :face_with_monocle::v:

Looks nice though - truck and “wrap” new ends into your net “weave” then into it. :grin:

Yeah, I’ll hit that up manana. I’ve got a little bit of time and really concentrating on keeping light on the 30 tops! 1st time running Northern Lights. Pretty hardy fast grower so far.

Do you pull back down and keep the plant under the net or actually weave under and over

How do I? I tie a tight ring of twine around my fabric pots and anchor my stems on them

To fill a trellis you just keep pushing them back under in the direction you want them to grow. Untill at least 80% full then flip. I guess a screen of green is kind of like LST. But they aren’t the same in terminology. Would he pointless to LST and scrog

I prefer actual LST over screens (scrog)

Either way - preference. I’ve tried to weave it, if not under depends.

Ahhhh, you’ve got the “stem benders”? How do you like them?

Way better than pipe cleaners. And with the ability to the bends exactly where I want them I can keep more strength. And removal is easier too ofc. Just slide them sideways.

Thanks! I’m gonna check them out. Right now I use the net and then pull out the tops towards the out side with garden wire. So I use the net/wire tie down method. LoL. But it stretches them outward and right about week 3 of flower, let em go!

That works fine. Not much different than I do. I know I haven’t said exactly why I don’t like nets yet. Not sure why. Was waiting to see if anyone else actually caught the difference., I’ve definitely noticed it from mistakes I made during lst I couldn’t of made with a net. Stop using nets. Learn your plants, hurt them some. They’ll return the favor. I could try and explain it, but someone tried to explain it to me and it was lost on me. But after last two grows in soil and current in coco I know it to be true. If anything a net gives your plant a crutch. If anything she needs the crutch kicked out from underneath.


Above is current Skywalker. Which has received some abuse. For sure. Flipped just a few days ago. Maybe 4? Weeks old. It will fill most this tent by time it’s 6 weeks old. Which leave ~5 weeks to finish. If I used a net add 1-2 weeks to that. If not more.

Nets are for the lazy. Either way you’ll fill a tent… but… time considering she was about 40% of that size 2 days ago
