Is circular scrog possible?

[Guest 248960]

I was wondering if it was possible to do a circular scrog (not spinning)

I have illustrated my idea below.

possible ? yes.
reasonable ? unless you have height limitation in you grow area, i cant see why its better then a VSCROG.

for start you have less access to buds and the air movement (much easier to make the hot air go up and out) will be better in a vscrog.

Should i then just make the half-circle and keep reflectors on my cooltube?

not a bad idea...
i think it could work

 

[jungo]

why don't you do it vertically ?
this is what i did ( and i am very unskilled in DIY stuff) :

3 plants creating perfect tube around the bulb.
you can do it with 2, 3, 4 and more.

My cabinet is 120cm wide, 85cm deep and 180cm tall.

Wouldn't the colosseum scrog be better suited for a square room?

 

[Guest 248960]

With my idea, i figured i would have easier access to the plants

hmm I go with jungo, look at a v-scrog or weed doughnut unless your just set on being "different" which is ok, I don;t think a lot of us are going to have much experience with that particular design though...good luck!

But if you do the math:

My current flat scrog net is: 85*120= approximately 1 sq. meter

With the circle: 3,14* 1(diameter of the circle) * 0,85= 2,6 sq. meter.

It has nothing to do with being different. I just want to get the highest yield possible.

Your setup depends on the power of your HPS, and your strains Without more informations, it's hard to help you

you can still do the circle but the vertical way.
with your setup, how will you make the plants stretch up ?

600w hps

I am growing sativa dominant strain.

It's been done. Will run ya about $2k

I saw a much bigger one that rotated around 2 1k bulbs. It cost like $10k

 

[Guest 248960]

I do not want it rotating.

I want it as a normal v-scrog, but with a complete circle and without reflector ofc.

Your plants will be conflicted between two different attractions. They want to grow upwards in a direction opposite to the pull of gravity. They also want to grow towards light, which in this case will be downward for a considerable portion of the plant. Doesn't mean it won't work. DHF often recommends hanging a chicken wire ceiling above vertical grows. Give it a try and tell us how it turns out.

 

[Guest 248960]

I'll try it next time. Atm i am 2 weeks (out of 10) into flowering.

There have been lots of mini vert scrogs, try searching the forums, I've seen lots over the years, I think there is someone in the Italian or Czech forum that done a great run or 2 with an improvised mini vert scrog although I could be thinking back to the overgrow days.

but the colas in a flat or dished/v scrog will pack together much more efficiently than in a completely vert one.

With 600w, why don't you simply use walls as a scrog (like last marlo's setup)? Maybe a DIY light mover for the farest sides but you can use the whole allowed space of your cabinet.
