Thanks to The Hemp Goddess.....I decided to do a little SCROG setup. It is mostly self explanatory.
1 & 2-Materials
3-Drill a 1-1/8" hole on each side of the top of the container.
4-Measure distance from bottom of container to top of lid. Subtract 1-1/2" from that and cut 2 pieces of PVC that length.
5-The following pieces will all be glued together. These are the "legs". Take the pieces you cut and put a tee on one end and a male adapter on the other. Cut 4 short pieces of PVC around 3" for the legs. Attach to the end of the tees and put caps on these pieces.
6-Put the legs through the 1-1/8" holes you drilled and screw a female adapter onto the threads of the male adapter until it is tight. Make sure that your legs are aligned correctly.
7-Decide how large you want your SCROG frame and make a vertical and a 45 (if needed) to get a rectangle the size you want.
8-Put your rectangle together (I ran out of PVC so that is why one side is open, but you want a complete rectangle).
9-Attach chicken wire or other mesh to the PVC frame with zip ties.
10-The unit in action.
I like that I can lift the frame and top away from the res and it will sit by itself with the plants to clean the res if need be.
