Flat canopies rock!!!
And seeing corner to corner green is re-igniting the desire to finally turn those 3/4" PVC tubes & elbows into some non warping SCROG nets.

I have been thinking about something like that. Elastic netting is a bit fussy. Deployment of and working around a rigid structure could have both advantages and disadvantages.

Those "bungee chord" style mesh? Can't use that stuff.
Can you make 'em mobile?

Finally got my scrog trimmed out a bit, haven't done this in a while.
Lots of petite sticky sativa buds.
The bungee nets bulge upward mounted with just 4 hooks. Sometimes you have to reposition it a few days later.
You can run it thru the tent spreader bars ( I didn't) to help reduce bulge and make it stiffer.

I have mine woven through the sidebars. It still mostly stretches around the perimeter, leaving smaller squares in the center. Annoying And it does bulge upward a bit.

Reposition the net? Or the branches?
I waited 10 days into flower when most stretching was complete. Then I broke the mains so they were the same height as the secondary. That was October 6.

Sometimes both depending on stretch.
I'll move some tops to different squares, bend branches back down and lower the net a bit snugger.

Gotcha ... you don't weave em as they VEG.
When I SCROG, I do weave to lock the parcel twine (zero elasticity) and rigid frame to the hardened branches. After 2+ months in VEG, some of those early weavers have turned to wood. Then the plant and frame are moved as a whole unit.

Figured out why all the blotchy leaves - the space heater slipped a while ago and was pointing more towards the root mass and not the canopy. This is the 2nd crop that did that and I analyzed the wrong symptoms. Thinking feed - D'OH! That has been resolved 4 days ago and the heater blows across the top again. The new growth is the proper green - welcome back ladies.
