What Is a SCROG Net?

SCROG stands for Screen of Green, a plant-training method in which branches are guided horizontally through a net. Instead of allowing one or two shoots to grow much taller than the rest, the branches are spread across the growing area. This helps create a flatter and more organised canopy with more growing points positioned at a similar height. A controlled canopy can improve light distribution and make pruning, plant maintenance and harvesting easier. Trellis nets are also commonly used to support branches carrying heavy flowers or fruit.

Designed for 120x120 cm Grow Tents

The Seedstockers SCROG Net measures 120 × 120 cm and is designed for grow tents and indoor growing spaces with a footprint of up to the same size. The elastic construction allows the net to stretch across the growing area and maintain tension between the tent poles. It can also be used in smaller spaces when the net can be securely attached without creating excessive slack.

Train a Flat and Even Canopy

Guiding branches through the individual openings helps distribute the plant across the available surface. As shoots grow, they can be gently directed into an empty section of the net. Repeating this process helps prevent one central branch from dominating the canopy. This makes the SCROG net useful for:

• Encouraging lateral plant growth
• Creating a flatter canopy
• Separating branches and growing points
• Keeping plants organised
• Making better use of the illuminated area
• Improving access for pruning and maintenance

Support for Heavy Branches

The Seedstockers trellis net is not only a training tool. It also provides support during later stages of plant development. As flowers or fruit gain weight, unsupported branches may lean, droop or fall to the sides. The elastic grid gives branches a structure to rest against and helps keep the canopy in position. This can reduce the need to support every branch individually with plant ties, stakes or clips.

Elastic and Stem-Friendly Design

The flexible net moves slightly with the plants rather than holding branches against a completely rigid structure. Its elastic construction provides stable support while allowing branches and shoots to be positioned carefully. The open grid leaves enough working space for training, pruning and inspecting the plants. Always guide young branches gradually and avoid forcing stiff stems into position.

Quick Installation with Black Hooks

Black hooks are fitted around the net for fast attachment to the vertical poles of a grow tent. Choose the desired canopy height, attach the hooks around the tent frame and distribute the tension evenly across all sides. The net should be firm enough to support branches without pulling the grow tent poles excessively inward. The height can be selected according to the plant size, growing method and stage of development.

Bright Seedstockers Orange

The orange net and black hooks give this practical grow accessory a distinctive Seedstockers finish. The bright colour also makes the grid easy to see between branches and foliage, which can be helpful when positioning shoots or working inside a densely filled grow tent.

How to Use the Seedstockers SCROG Net

1. Install the net above the plants before the canopy becomes too dense.
2. Attach the black hooks securely to the grow tent poles.
3. Make sure the tension is distributed evenly.
4. Allow growing shoots to reach the net.
5. Gently guide taller branches sideways into available sections.
6. Continue filling empty areas as the plants develop.
7. Use the net as support once branches become heavier.

Do not pull or bend branches sharply. Plant training works best when stems are still flexible and adjustments are made gradually.

When Should You Install a SCROG Net?

The best installation moment depends on plant size and the training method being used. Installing the net early gives you more time to guide flexible shoots into position. Waiting until branches are already tall, woody or heavily flowering can make training more difficult. The net can also be installed later when its main purpose is to support branches rather than shape the canopy.
