Hi everyone! I waited my mid-forties (and a divorce) to buy me my first growing tent. I choose the full setup by Mars Hydro on Amazon (the one with the digital device), which was the most interesting ratio quality/price that appears to me at the moment. And add it a couple of oscillating fans. We'll see if I need a fourth one. I'm afraid I start with to much plants and that they'll quickly be out of place. Because as the seven dwarfs of Snow White, I decided to begin this adventure with seven unknown auto flowers that a very good friend of mine gave me... Let's call him Mister Smee 😉 He once advised me that it was the best way to start : try different techniques at the same time, eventually screw up one think or two in the process and learn from the done mistakes. It's my very first time, and I didn't wanted to waste some "real" good seeds, that's why I decided to practice with some hybrid ones... Wish me luck on this new journey ! And don't hesitate to guide me a little bit or give me advices, I'll be glad to read it all 🧐

Hello, Growers Sorry, 2 ? in 1 I just wanted to know when the best timing to put the net for doing some scrog is. Is it preferable to wait the plants blooming? I got two plants that grows radically higher than the three other ones.. Does it will help me to readjust the canopy?

Depends a little bit on the goal you have with that scrog net i would say. You could either use a net to give stability to buds and prevent them from flipping over, or use it to keep a low canopy and cover it with foliage as quickly as possible. Looks like you want to keep your canopy low, so i suggest you install the net now and use it to do more light stress training. You can still raise it higher later, it can be a little bit tricky but defnintely possible. Get somebody to help you to make that easier. Or install a second canopy on top of that later. Ive seen people using 3 layers of those nets with insane results. But you should be fine moving that net around later i think! Keep it simple, keep it smart!
