ScroG vs LST

Tanuvan · #1 11-06-2007, 05:10 PM

I was searching around trying to find a comparison of these two methods. I've found that some people LST before putting plants in a ScroG setup. If one just used LST would the efficiency/yield be the same as ScroG?

Probably not, but maybe someone with a real good LST mind could but SCROG seems easier to do and it really does use every available square foot of space.

Done correctly, a LST system will perform just as well as a SCROG, if not better.

I started out with SCROG and now LST. I find it more flexible and much easier to deal with. Screens and racks are cumbersome - I move my plants around alot for even light. Hard to do in tight spaces with screens.

I use insulated copper wire to hold the branches down to create a nice even, full canopy.

Any picks of the setup? I hate the screens in SCROGs too.

Check my gallery and my journal

Yes, pics would be great as I'd rather not deal with screens if I didn't have to... but I...would make the ScroG sacrifice for larger yields. I also heard that it can be a real pain maneuvering underneath screens for plant maintenance.

See attached. I drill holes in the top of my pots, or wrap the wire around the lip to secure it..

Ahhhh a pic is worth a thousand words!!! That looks much easier than farting around with tying.
