scrog

[tromeros]

Hello everyone

As we all know scrog is for those who use a small grow box and there is a chance the plant touch the lamp..

I dont have that problem but i want to have max yield i can have so.. if i scrog my plants i have more yield or i leave it the way they grow normaly ??

thank you..

Well, a good scrog will get you a better yeild, but you'll need propper topping and training to maximize a scrog from what I understand. Depending on what you're trying to do exactly, maybe look into a SoG method if you don't mind lots and lots of smaller plants. Otherwise just use some 5-10 gallon pots and do less plants, with bigger yeilds if you top them into a nice solid bush.

If you're set on a scrog, I say go for it if you have the knowledge and time to train it fully, you'll get good yeilds from it if you do it right. Otherwise I suggested a couple alternative options. I'm only on my 4-5th grow so I'm no expert, but I've seen a few methods used. It all comes down to what you want and can do without being overwhelmed

So what one did you choose?

I've seen some solid scrogging. It looks like if done right, it can get you some tops that easier to trim at harvest, but the canopy closes light off to the nodes at the bottom if you're lighting from the ceiling down. So, it can have it's pluses and minuses imo.

Well the whole point is to not have wasted light. Its basically a setup designed to optimize light usage and in turn, maximize yield.

Depending on your process and strain, a sea of green without a screen might make more sense.

i think that if you can arrange a mother/clone tent and a flower tent, a SOG perpetual harvest would give you the most yield for time.

If you can only grow one or two plants, I would do scrog. If trained well this setup will give you a great yield using less plants. If you have the room and the number of plants is not a issue, then sog is the way to go.

SCROG is a way of training the plants - meaning bending them in the direction you choose.
You could achieve the very same results by LST because you do the same practically.

In order to have a good SCROG you need to know how much your plant stretches and how it reacts to bending. When you work with a screen you arrange the branches in a way that light is not wasted and then when put to flowering you want your buds to grow upwards, in most hybrid strains about 20-30 cm so proper flower formation could take place.
In order to achieve that you need to know what you'r working with.

If you'r not sure of what you'r doing I would suggest letting the plant grow how it wants and at most top it once or twice to induce bushiness.
The easiest method to master, in my opinion, is to veg you'r plants until they start touching each other, and no higher than 50 cm (if they do reach a higher height you could either top them, LST them or supercrop them), and then flower them.
