Hi Boleman,
Looks like you've got some nice healthy growth there and props on your reservoir setup - very innovative. A couple Q's:
Do you feel the fixed PL-L lighting setup will affect your yield much? Normally I would expect folks to spread the lights out from each other a bit more, and make them adjustable vertically rather than affix them up top so the lights are always ~1-2" from the canopy.
Though perhaps pics are deceiving - with your tall reservoir, there's less vertical space above the pots than it appears, right? Maybe you can get away with it in that space...what are your thoughts?
Also, I've been growing with ScrOG since '00, and normally when I think of one, the screen clearance is ~8-12" from the pots, and all branches are trained horizontally during the stretch until the stretch is completely done; only then are the apical tips allowed to grow upwards through the screen.
You appear to have a very short (low) screen, and there seems to be little horizontal training other than just enough to spread some of the branches out a bit, which appears to be atypical for ScrOG. Is that done like that due more to the limited space available, or have you seen certain advantages to employing a screen like that?
Obviously more tips are 'above the screen' in that configuration so to speak, but with the longer branches you still have the type of shading comparable to a normal bush-style grow, no? Do you feel the PL-Ls are able to penetrate sufficiently into a canopy grown that way?
Thanks for your time. Very interesting, at any rate. Watching with interest!
Cheers,

At least your threads doing better than project reject
