thanks young giver...idk like basic fundumentals on it..I have seen pics of people doing it..like when it gets to around 6+ inches or a small hight you tie the near top of it at a 45 degree angle and the near bottum to the other side..like basic procedures..I like the idea of a thick base with a bunch of colass's coming up to a light..especially giving it max light penetration to all the tops

is this a basic idea guys

one near the top and one going other way at the bottum

That is not scrogging. That is called LST or low stress training. You will get excellent results with either method and i'd say LST is a much simpler and easier to maintain method. Just my 2c.

Yes....you can LST to get the lower branches to fill out then train them to the screen.

Pipe Cleaner LST

Pipe Cleaner LST

Here's my favorite LST method. I drill tiny holes around the top edge of the pots and tie down my girls. I've tried different methods over the years and found this to be easist (for me).
The first pic is from my current grow. This ww x bb is bent over so she'll make me some branches I can use for clones.

Here are pics of the canopy. It is nicely spread where the buds can get more light.


I found these extra long (colorful) pipe cleaners at Wallys.


Tie 'em high, tie 'em low.

Straws help out in those temporary situations when you are spreading buds.


This was the results of my first successful grow under 250w CFLs. 3 plants netted 2.3 ounces of great bud. The LST really pays off.
