Installing the Trellis or Netting

Attach the trellis or netting to the ceiling or walls of the grow space. The mesh should be at least 12 inches above the canopy of the plants.

Training the Plants

Begin training your plants by gently tying the lowest branches to the trellis or netting. As the plants grow, continue to tie new branches to keep them vertical and increase canopy size.

Maintaining Your Scrog System

Regularly prune your plants to remove any unnecessary branches and promote a strong canopy. Keep an eye on your plants for signs of stress or disease, and adjust your care routine accordingly.
