It’s a means of converting a round dripline into a square or rectangular one; maximizing the use of your grow space. I’m a SCROG grower and it is most often used to constrain the height if you are height-restricted. Here’s my most recent one harvested two weeks ago: that plant went into Promix on 6 June and harvested on the 2nd of October. 14+ ounces from a 22" X 36" screen.
I use a 4 X 6" opening with twine, my screen is adjustable in height and is mounted to the fabric pot so I can pick up and futz with my plant. The rectangular opening I feel makes it easier to get plant material through the opening.
‘flipping’ is a slang term for changing the light schedule from veg to flower: usually to 12/12.
@Myfriendis410 A round dripline?
Nice looking plant right there.
How can you adjust the height? Your netting is connected to the pvc frame right?
Looks like the buds would also get more light making them larger and denser. Im still a novice, lol.
So when is the netting first used?
If you look closely you will see the uprights slide into schedule 20, 1" and held in place with a sheet metal screw. Remove the screw; lift or lower the screen. Send screw back in.
I limit the height of my plants: I try to get into the screen when the plant is about 18 or 20" tall. I supercrop to develop 4 distinct tops (FIM’ing) that I can weave into diagonal corners of the screen. Probably around week 6 or 7 in Promix. I don’t use the screen quite correctly but it allows access to side branches along with laying down main lines to turn horizontal nodes into vertical ones. Which all develop into a top. I populate the screen to around 90% before flipping.
Hope that helps. If you are interested here’s my journal:

Thats a great idea there. Smart thinking with the scrog. I plan to make Promix my soil also when the time comes.
What do you mean by super-cropping?
