Well I'm going to give this a try. I hope I'm doing this right.there is 4 ,45 gallon smart pots in a pod .the base. Is 6x6 just to hold the pots.now the frame is 8 feet tall. I took the scrog fencing and cut it like 12 feet long then took it end to end. Now its a 5 feet across. And 8 feet high. The screen sets inside the pod 1 foot above pots.the screen. Is tied/ wired to the 2x4 frame So this is my screen donut. The plants are on the inside edge of the screen wired flat out like a turkey fan. The screen is full all around and 4 feet high.she is full.veg is being dun with a 1000 mh. Flower there will be 2 1000 ups.maybe 3 stacked. I see a lot of guys have the plants on the out side of screen,I don't get it.

I'm not an expert at this by any means but here's my try to answer:

How much time it will take you to keep the shoots/tops away from the bulbs and close or tied to the screen? Instead of just taking care of the occasional rebel shoot that goes to the other side of the screen searching for more light.

M you should be fine as long as you have a suffecent fan under your stacked bare bulbs, all mine are inside the screen and tied like you mentioned, some buds are within 6in of the bulb and there is no burn or bleaching, sounds like yours could get alittle over crowded though

Well I will be cutting out suckers and leaving main arms. Thinking that will hold back crowding Avery bud will have its own area. No overlapping or crowding.

having the plants behind the screen is easier than constantly training back to the screen,
I think that's why you see it. i prefer the way you describe. i think.

You know......It`s the little things like the muffin fan beneath the bulbs on the lowest speed to simply assist in natural heat convection so that the exhaust/scrubber combo`s..but.....

Many ways ta skin a mule , and if big ass inline fans above the lights are suckin excess heat and stank out constantly , then it`s all good in the hood.....

Good luck Maina.......Holler if I can help........

Peace....DHF....:ying:......

I will have three big fans blowing air around the room.I do not want moldy buds. This ak l l l have makes monster buds but shit she drinks water like crazy and watering 16 45 gallon pots in one big room at 3 gallons each every other day. When the lights go of it won't be good.I really think before I flip them I'm going to get one of the $2000.00 deh. Santa fe Max dry
