To achieve that shared goal, growers select the best genetics they can find, carefully research nutrients and watering techniques, and meticulously trim and top their plants. Another incredibly cheap method to increase yields and grow healthier plants? Trellising.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is trellising and how can a few posts or plastic nets help your cannabis plants reach their ideal growth? In this article, we'll cover those questions, plus dive into the difference between trellising outdoor and indoor plants, and give you a step-by-step breakdown on how to best support your plants.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"what-is-trellising\">\n\tWhat is trellising?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In broad terms, trellising refers to using a structure to support and organize a plant's growth. Trellising can consist of wooden, plastic, or metal frames built around a plant to support it or square netting draped over a plant at certain stages of growth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-block-image \">\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/CRTV-932_B2B-Dispensary_1260.jpg\" data-modal-open=\"lightbox_1271\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/CRTV-932_B2B-Dispensary_1260-768x512.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/CRTV-932_B2B-Dispensary_1260.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/CRTV-932_B2B-Dispensary_1260-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/CRTV-932_B2B-Dispensary_1260-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/CRTV-932_B2B-Dispensary_1260-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/CRTV-932_B2B-Dispensary_1260-1536x1023.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 768px) 476px, (min-width: 1218px) 772px, 100vw\" alt=\"screen of green method marijuana\" title=\"Click to see a larger version of the image\">\n\t\t\t<\/a><cite>Photo by: Gina Coleman\/Weedmaps<\/cite><figcaption>Trellising refers to using a structure to support and organize a plant's growth.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\t\t\t<div id=\"lightbox_1271\" data-modal data-modal-hide-heading data-modal-manual-close hidden>\n\t\t\t\t<h2>Image lightbox<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/CRTV-932_B2B-Dispensary_1260-768x512.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/CRTV-932_B2B-Dispensary_1260.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/CRTV-932_B2B-Dispensary_1260-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/CRTV-932_B2B-Dispensary_1260-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/CRTV-932_B2B-Dispensary_1260-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/CRTV-932_B2B-Dispensary_1260-1536x1023.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"100vw\" alt=\"screen of green method marijuana\">\n\t\t\t\t<button role=\"button\" class=\"a11y-modal__close-btn\" data-modal-close-btn>\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"currentColor\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M13.414 12l4.293 4.293a1 1 0 01-1.414 1.414L12 13.414l-4.293 4.293a1 1 0 11-1.414-1.414L10.586 12 6.293 7.707a1 1 0 011.414-1.414L12 10.586l4.293-4.293a1 1 0 011.414 1.414L13.414 12z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The use of support structures in agriculture goes back at least to the Roman empire when trellising was used to grow plants vertically. It eventually gave way to an art form and architecture style built around the tall latticed structures. In cannabis farming, trellising is usually separated into two categories: vertical and horizontal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vertical trellising involves tall mesh frames that surround the plant. The frames are typically built around stakes made of wood, bamboo, or PVC. Horizontal trellising, on the other hand, is trellis netting draped on top of plants. Vertical trellising is usually installed at the beginning of a growing cycle, while horizontal trellising can be installed during various times of a plant's life. The last layer of netting is typically placed over plants at the very beginning of flowering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"why-is-trellising-important\">\n\tWhy is trellising important?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cannabis plants are widely known for their vigorous and wild growth \u2014 hence the name \u201cweed.\u201d But if you're cultivating specifically to yield as many resinous flowers as possible, it is important to organize and direct your plants to maximize their output. Trellising is important because it creates a roadmap for your garden, letting each plant know where to grow.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trellising provides spacing and direction that allows plants to grow with enough space and airflow to promote fuller flower growth and protect against bud rot and mold. Cannabis plants left to their own devices grow straight towards the sun, with branches often clumping together in pursuit of that nutritional light. Without any structure, interior branches will not get enough light to thrive and flowers in the canopy will grow smaller due to overcrowding. Using the equally spaced gaps in trellis netting, flowers are able to get the space they need to absorb light and nutrients and grow to their full potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to opening up your plants to more uniform lighting and giving them space to grow, trellising provides physical support for branches and buds that might otherwise topple over or break off due to their own weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"is-trellising-only-for-outdoor-cannabis-plants\">\n\tIs trellising only for outdoor cannabis plants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Trellising is often associated with large, tree-sized outdoor plants with wild branches pointing in every direction, but indoor operations and greenhouse cultivation sites get major benefits from trellising as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-block-image \">\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CRTV-3705_Cultivation_32A8697-scaled.jpg\" data-modal-open=\"lightbox_3452\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CRTV-3705_Cultivation_32A8697-768x512.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CRTV-3705_Cultivation_32A8697-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CRTV-3705_Cultivation_32A8697-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CRTV-3705_Cultivation_32A8697-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CRTV-3705_Cultivation_32A8697-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CRTV-3705_Cultivation_32A8697-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 768px) 476px, (min-width: 1218px) 772px, 100vw\" alt=\"Trellising cannabis plant\" title=\"Click to see a larger version of the image\">\n\t\t\t<\/a><cite>Photo by: Gina Coleman\/Weedmaps<\/cite><figcaption>Outdoor growers often use rigid metal, PVC, or wood posts combined with wire to build a vertical frame.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\t\t\t<div id=\"lightbox_3452\" data-modal data-modal-hide-heading data-modal-manual-close hidden>\n\t\t\t\t<h2>Image lightbox<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CRTV-3705_Cultivation_32A8697-768x512.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CRTV-3705_Cultivation_32A8697-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CRTV-3705_Cultivation_32A8697-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CRTV-3705_Cultivation_32A8697-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CRTV-3705_Cultivation_32A8697-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CRTV-3705_Cultivation_32A8697-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"100vw\" alt=\"Trellising cannabis plant\">\n\t\t\t\t<button role=\"button\" class=\"a11y-modal__close-btn\" data-modal-close-btn>\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"currentColor\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M13.414 12l4.293 4.293a1 1 0 01-1.414 1.414L12 13.414l-4.293 4.293a1 1 0 11-1.414-1.414L10.586 12 6.293 7.707a1 1 0 011.414-1.414L12 10.586l4.293-4.293a1 1 0 011.414 1.414L13.414 12z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The main difference between outdoor and indoor trellising comes down to size and style.

Indoor growers, on the other hand, typically prefer a ScrOG or Screen Of Green method of horizontal trellising. They carefully top the plants then place a plastic trellising net over them during the vegetation stage of growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-block-image \">\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/CRTV-932_B2B-Dispensary_1436-1-3.jpg\" data-modal-open=\"lightbox_1274\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/CRTV-932_B2B-Dispensary_1436-1-3-768x512.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/CRTV-932_B2B-Dispensary_1436-1-3.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/CRTV-932_B2B-Dispensary_1436-1-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/CRTV-932_B2B-Dispensary_1436-1-3-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/CRTV-932_B2B-Dispensary_1436-1-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/CRTV-932_B2B-Dispensary_1436-1-3-1536x1023.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 768px) 476px, (min-width: 1218px) 772px, 100vw\" alt=\"screen of green method\" title=\"Click to see a larger version of the image\">\n\t\t\t<\/a><cite>Photo by: Gina Coleman\/Weedmaps<\/cite><figcaption>Indoor growers, on the other hand, typically prefer a ScrOG or Screen Of Green method of horizontal trellising.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\t\t\t<div id=\"lightbox_1274\" data-modal data-modal-hide-heading data-modal-manual-close hidden>\n\t\t\t\t<h2>Image lightbox<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/CRTV-932_B2B-Dispensary_1436-1-3-768x512.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/CRTV-932_B2B-Dispensary_1436-1-3.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/CRTV-932_B2B-Dispensary_1436-1-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/CRTV-932_B2B-Dispensary_1436-1-3-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/CRTV-932_B2B-Dispensary_1436-1-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/CRTV-932_B2B-Dispensary_1436-1-3-1536x1023.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"100vw\" alt=\"screen of green method\">\n\t\t\t\t<button role=\"button\" class=\"a11y-modal__close-btn\" data-modal-close-btn>\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"currentColor\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M13.414 12l4.293 4.293a1 1 0 01-1.414 1.414L12 13.414l-4.293 4.293a1 1 0 11-1.414-1.414L10.586 12 6.293 7.707a1 1 0 011.414-1.414L12 10.586l4.293-4.293a1 1 0 011.414 1.414L13.414 12z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Indoor trellising allows plants to best harness the power of the room's grow lights, which typically sit above the beds and do not have the same daily movement as the natural sun.
