They look good, they will fill in and evenly grow top nugs. A good thrashing makes your plants grow strong. I bet you kill it :muscle::point_up_2:

That looks great! I hated the idea of strings being attached and used a temporary trellis scrog thing made of bamboo sticks and rubber bands. Our grows aren’t very different.

Thanks for the idea, just recently bought the bucket and want to try some first grow but still figured out how I LST them and still can manage to change the reservoir.

here my recently try to scrog my small pot soil plant with garden wired(hard one) and clip to make this

Will a screen like this work? It isn’t too small, too early to add, and the growth will just pop the clips off? If that is all metal wire, if all goes optimal, would you lose a bunch of crystals trying to cut and remove the metal wire?

Just some pictures to update.

Update to original post. I decided on a way to drain and refill the buckets.

I got this
BRINGSMART Mini 12V Food Grade… https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZYKXLSY?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I use the root spa, so it has the sight tube on the side. This tubing,
Active Aqua HGTB25 0.25 Inch… https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007ISXGI0?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share,
Fits perfectly inside the sight tube. The hose provided with the transfer pump also fits over the active aqua line. I then mix everything up in separate dwc bucket while draining the original dwc into an old bucket. Then transfer the newly mixed.
It is not the fastest, but worked great. I only have 2 plants. So this works fine for me.

Five days. Filling in. Just trimming and training. I repositioned/rotated a light, and lowered them to 19 inches.

Hello, can I just keep tucking to keep level canopy until I run out of trellis space? Thanks

I recommend maxing your net out, or as close as you can prior to flip. After stretch cut the branches out that are small or likely not worth while. Have a secondary net to support weight. N then you are set!
