So as per request here is screening 101. Easiest way I can help you understand how screening is beneficial is this, imagine all your plants bud sites at the optimal distance from the light (The Sweet Spot). This is 1 method to help you maximize your yields. So lets move on to what you need.

The screen, easily attainable at any local hardware store often sold in the garden center where the chicken wire is located. You want it flexible enough to where it will be easy to work with but thick enough to give the plant a little added support. Here is a pic of the screen I use.



Then basically you make a frame stretch the screen across it, the frame needs legs to whatever height you want to veg your plant to, mine is about 10 inches off the ground. The frame size would be based on how many watts the light is and what kind of reflector you have, basically each frame is custom per person so I cannot really give you exact dimensions. I use vertizontal hood so i can basically put my light about 10 inches above my screen and the foot print hits my frame perfectly.

Then you Veg the plant up into the screen and when a branch goes above the screen you thread it back down and through and keep doing this till the screen is about 1/2 full. I would also suggest FiM'ing to help increase branches and help fill the screen more evenly. Once the screen is 1/2 full you are going to flip it to 12/12 and make sure during the stretch you keep threading them back down otherwise you won't keep your even canopy.

That is pretty much it, if you have any questions feel free to ask. And if you know something and I left it out speak up!

Oh...! Screen of green! I kind of like LST, to do essentially the same thing, right?

It's very similar, the only difference is the screen ensures constant exact height. Lst branches often grow faster then others with the screen you just thread em back down to the same height

Nice job! If you get that screen filled with nodal branches; you'll have big tops!!!

So has anyone tried it outdoors?Not like FDD is using it,but as a S.O.G?

Here's my problem...I have a 36-site aeroponic 4x4 system and my room is 5x5x7. Can I make a screen that is the whole room size 5x5x7 and will it be big enough to screen 36 plants since the 36sites are only about 6 inch apart from each other? And second will I get more of a yield screening this set up or sogin' it? IYO

Well you could cap some of the sites and only use like 4 of them and veg up into the screen that would be my suggestion, unless you have to use all the sites? Another semi point of screening I didn't mention is it cuts down the number of plants you need under each light, so if that isn't an issue I don't now if i would screen. I happen to be in a non med state, but a med user. I am moving soon if the bill in our state house doesn't pass, but thats besides the point. If you are SoGing with clones off a good mom i wouldn't worry about screening.

k so I could get a better yield w/ 36site s.o.g than not using all the sites and scroging?

I would say they are pretty much the same, if it did make a difference it wouldn't be worth all the time and effort making a screen etc.
