hi guys i need some advice please. i got a 6 ft long x 6 ft wide x 6 ft in height. growing area. would you scrog or normal grow in a space like this. i am going to use a 600w hps for now to cover that space. then add two 300w cfls when they go into flower. duel spectrum. i am going to use 15 litre buckets. was thinking of one plant in each bucket normal grow. not sure about this but 5 plants in each bucket for scrog. what would you guys recomend and i know its hard (i guess) any idea of yeild the cuttings are from a plant called green crack. many thanks for any replys. nice guy. ps or would you put more to each bucket if doing scrog.

Twin 150w HPS lamps filled a screen 42"x18" and took me close to 30 minutes, twice a day, to train the plants to the screen.
You'll need to be able to reach every spot under the screen and hopefully also be able to see the top of the screen at the same time. (helps when moving plants)
I've seen a few modular scrogs that would allow you to pull parts of the grow aside to reach others. Might want to look there.
Scrog is labor intensive until the initial stretch stops... at which point it's basically watching the feed and raising the light(s) as the buds grow in a mini-forest.

Try lst it gives you the ability to grow an awesome canopy and still have access to your plants

I think people scrog to fill more area with less plants. I myself tie the branche down to open up the middle of the plant and fill open spots in the canopy. With low plant count laws it works well.
Scrog will give you more gpw, it can be a lot of work, bending stems back under the Scrog, trimming leafs, ect ect..plus and couple more weeks of veg, makeing sure to fill you screen...you do get to spend some time with ya lady's though lol
Am doing 4 plant Scrog, 5ltr tomato pots under 600hps,
Am gunning for at 1.5gpw, I won't be happy if I fail.....
Keep a eye on the grow section dude I will be starting a thread over the weekend

In your area I would at least choose a scrog method.
If it were me, though, I would probably go for a vertical set up, maybe a vertical scrog or just a doughnut with LST.
The screen just helps to maximize your horizontal canopy, now vertical on the other hand can produce twice or more of the yield in a horizontal grow. If the highest yield is your main goal, choose vertical. If you just want a good yeild, or think you cant fit a vertical set up in your space, then go for a horizontal scrog or just LST/top or fim
