@dbrn32 yeah it was a little bit of a pain in the ass, but I am one that is always willing to put in the work. And it is worth it havent had to get any in over 4 months and still have some left. So if I have to crawl in a tent I will. All about those results.

Ther only thing I would add to everything is the way I trellis now the screen is not permanent at all.

I use it to train them wide, never attaching or weaving.

Once I flip to flower, I take the net off and let them stretch upwards.

After that I don’t use it anymore unless I need to drop it back down on the plants to hold ther colas upright after they have gotten heavier

If I had more than two plants in each tent I probably wouldn’t use a screen at all

@dbrn32 I just got my 260 hlg in what should I dim them down to for veg or should I even dim them down? They are like the sun, holy crap if brighter then I was expecting.

I can fit just 1 single plant in a 5x5. :crazy_face::crazy_face::crazy_face:

@Nickknowsfunny hey! I have a very similar set up to you! I am having some trouble with my dimmer for the hlg 260. Did you encounter any issues? Anyway you can post a pick of how you got it wired?

@Travis23 my dimmer is on the driver. I just turn a Phillip’s screw in there to turn it up or down no problems.

Ok. I have one on the bottom and one that can be hooked up to the blue and white wires. I think its 30 inches but don’t quote me. Im still learning too. I will search the forum though and try and find out. Thanks for the reply!

From what i can see. Start at 30 inches and if you see stretching then lower it a bit.
