Attn Scrog growers

My fiance picked one of these up at Target yesterday for 2.50 which I thought would be useful for anyone doing scrogs.
Measurements are 12" x 10" x 10" high and it folds down when not in use. Check yours out and see if they have any.
Also in the cheap dollar aisle they had plastic beach pails that were about 2 gallon size for 1.00 each.

Looks good, and planters at a buck each can't beat that. Thanks:tiphat:

Don't you guys build anything yerselves? I know it's "only" $2.50 but crud. My screens are bigger and cost less. A lil' pvc, some livestock wire and zip ties. The money spent on this hobby/passion is just insane.

What the hell happened to good ol' American ingenuity?

Don't mind me, I'm old and tired.

Not everyone has such an elaborate set up or one of that size. Myself I'm not one who would claim to be a handyman type and there is others on here that will say the same.
This is something that I thought Hey maybe someone could use one of these and when not needed fold it up and put it away till next time.
So I decided to share.

A little advice.
Get rid of the pic with you in it. Even though you have a hat and sunglasses on LEO does watch these boards and that's not something I would want them to see if it was me.
Doesn't matter if your compliant, the feds watch to and your suit and set up shows your serious which makes you more of a target for them.
Have a good one.

My point.....lighten up man and enjoy doing what your doing your way. But don't sit there and get on others because they may not have the 'ingenuity' that you have.

Let's calm down.
One thing I have learned over the years is how to not run to the store for everything I need. I took the time to get my skills up to this level because I enjoy what I do. Elaborate? No. Well thought out and planned after years of growing outside and a lot of research time? YES.

One of the reasons I started growing this was self sufficiency. To be able to provide for myself. This is my PASSION. I live, breathe and eat this program every damn day. And yes, I enjoy it to the maximum.

I took years making the plans. I placed the order for the lumber.
Three friends helped me put the big one up in one day. Then they were not allowed back. I did all the inside myself. I picked every single piece of equipment out and installed it.

I won't apologize for trying to inspire people towards self-sufficiency.

Good luck in yer grow.

Thank you.

I am to White Foam Insulation as RedGreen is to Duct Tape.
I am Ricky's worst Nightmare, that pig.

Where in Switz? I'll be in Praesto this winter, pay my fare from there? Feed Me? Roll big fat honking doobers for me? Can you use a French Press? Forgive me if I go over budget?

Thoughts to ponder,,,,,,

feral - they look nice, how big is the mesh size? it looks a bit small going one way...

very clean and nice but i think you are going to find that the plants will push those screens and wires up. - unless ive missed it you seem to have nothing to hold them down and, even if there is, the wire looks pretty loose. i think you would be better putting some more rigid welded mesh in there rather than threading the wires as you have. you also need something to anchor the screens down if you havent already. plants are strong.

just my opinion :tiphat:

You and many others have missed it.

Those screen frames won't move up an 1" when they go down. The Livestock wire works best for me and I have tried it all. If I leave a little slack in the wire it helps when I start weaving. The methods to my maddness will become evident.

Good eye, not enough imagination,,,,,,,,,,j/k

so you've done scrog indoors before then? the setup looks like it's never been used to me.
your previous post implies that you have done a lot of outdoor growing but just moved inside after loads of research...

i guess it depends on what you call scrog. if you are just using the net to space the buds as they grow then im sure you will be ok, but if you are doing proper scrog and training onto the screen i still reckon the plants will push the screen up.

p.s. experience trumps imagination. every. single. day. (J/k too )

Madds, that is a sick setup, you and i seem to share the same propensity for cleanliness and
details. cant wait to see that setup in action. send me a message if you get a grow diary or anything of that nature up.

This ain't my first rodeo.

Yes. In a 12x12x12 I can post some pics of the early years as we go along. Inside for 10 years. I just built this lab. It went up June 10th. It's taken a little bit of time to get it ready. I'm a one man show.

I promise to do a "proper" scrog.
Else I might as well move the pool table in there,,,,,,,,N/K

Old age and experience trumps youthful enthusiasm,,,,

and i'm old,,,,,,:jump: Hell I'm still popping beans from 1983,,:dance013:

Check in on me as I get er fired up tonight two girls go in.
I don't rush. I have time.

Thanks for looking out,,,,,

Hey VG
the holes are 3/4" by 1 3/4"
School locker shelf found in the school supplies aisle.
I don't scrog but figured maybe someone can make this work esp. since you can fold it up and put it away till needed again.
