SCROG QUESTIONS...

i would run six plants in that space
i run 4 plants in 2.7 sq ft....you have 4 sq ft so i think six would be just about perfect

you could prolly even push it to eight ...but it may be best to try 6 at first
.... with a scrog , max # of plants = min. amount of veg time
this makes for quicker cycles , which in turn = more bud in the long run
good luck to ya

thanks man...any thoughts on how far to keep my light from he screen its a vented hood and has tempered glass....i cant move it though its mounted to a hole and no room from dryer duct in my space so i cant move my light....i was thinking like 20inches from the screen to light?

Interesting way to do it Mtnjohn. Smart.

Vegas, can you move the plants up to the light? I would say you could get up to 6" or so with a 250 and glass hood. Just lookout for heat stress. Plants move away from the light, droop or look dull...
 
i cant really move either the plants or the light the screen is mounted to the cab and the light is mounted up top......well will be once i put in the screen...the cab is about 5foot tall and 2'X2'????i was thinking maybe i could just leave the light about 20 inches from the screen..so i had room for the stretch..?

The further the light, the more the stretch, the weaker the buds.

Can you mount the screen to the grow container?

Did you see mtnjohn's cab and his scrog setup? It's in his sig.

man...i would fix that shit bro....with 5 ft of headroom theres just gotta be a way to make the light adjustable in height, it will be well worth it for you imho

also i wouldnt fix the screen to the cab...that sounds like a real pita to me
you need some kinda rig that you can pull out for training or whatever
something like this would be ideal...you could rig them so that you have 3(or however many) in your cab, with 2 plants in each one

another plus about this is that they can be rotated , giving each plant equal amts. of light or easily pulled out for inspection, trimming etc.

i think i thought of a mod to my cab that will allow me to move the light up and down...im gonna cuy out a 2foot by 6inch rectangle out of the back of the cab and ad a six inch outward extention to it so i have room for the dryer duct...i wish i could ut the duct in the top of my hood like yours but it goes out the side.....so u think i should do multiple with individual screens for a perpetual harvest....someone said i could more off one plant in a scrog then off of many????

will when i can either borrow or afford a digi ...but problem solved ..did it today..did the mod i told you about now its like there is a box on the back its 2foot by 8inch so now i made room for the dryer ducting. im not gonna lie im stoked about how it looks now, now i can move the light all over..im a lil blazed so im even more excited ....i feel like i conquered shit yeahhhh cant wait to get you pics...any other advice now that i have fixed that , im curious about whether i should use my bigger fan to intake or exhaust...they are separate from the one already venting my hood..so i guess i want to know if i should have more going in or out??
 
nice man thanks...ur name indicates u might now about scrogging..any tips?? i was wondering what nutes to use once it is in flowering,,,im soil so i dont know if that means i can only use certain kinds any bloom boost u could recomend for soil...?
 
I grow totally organic so I really don't know much about the ferts for blooming. I use organic teas to feed the soil and let the soil feed the plants.

My setup is alot different than yours. I screen all my plants individually So that i can harvest each plant individually. I try to harvest one plant each week. I've been averageing about 26 grams per plant. I would rather spend one or two hours once a week havesting than one or two days every other month.
