Yes. That is why i am not a big fan. I am going to sog for both my flower rooms. Yu can make single plant screens and move the plants.
My led screen is out of control. 5 more weeks and i will start a sog.

There are people who do it WAY better than I do, but you can achieve mobility AND ScrOG. I rotate mine every watering and enjoy being able to see the backs of my plants, though it's in a tent inside a closet. I am power tool impaired. Some of the true stoner-engineers would surprise you.

I have a very small room (5×7).I have hooks attached to fhe walls so I can unhook the net to change my DWC buckets. I grow my SCROG very very short only about 24 inch plants everything above that is bud. I used t-5 because of the small room and lack of ventilation so I can put the lights right down on them. I use silicon heavily during veg to promote heavy stem growth. Only my buds are supported by the net the plants will support themselves until the buds get big and heavy.20141128_104053.jpg20141128_104053.jpgThis Iis my girls 3 weeks in. Girl Scout Cookie strain.

I'm feeding a modified Lucas formula. I flower 4 at a time and they'll fill the room by week 8. This particular strain has a good bit of indica in it so it takes a little longer to flower, about 10 weeks or so. These girls are cut I do not grow from seed. I'm from Colorado and clones are readily available so there's really no reason to ever grow from seeds here. seeds are actually harder to get here than clones lol. I've added some lighting and have a little bit more room so next time I think I may go to 6 plants and see how that works.

Looks good. Those containers are massive. Are they like 10+ gallons? Sometimes, it is hard to judge scale, and they could be only 5s. I have had little trouble getting a 30"x30" ScrOG filled with 1 plant in a 3 gallon bucket. I started at 5 gallons, went to 3, then ran 2 in 3 gal (each in their own- totaling 6 gal for 2 plants, which is what's in those photos above ^^^^) under the same dimensions, before deciding that 5 gallons was more than enough, and probably best for about 3'x3' (in a 50/50 hempy bucket - my drain hole is about 2 inches higher than yours to allow a reservoir of sorts). I know that's all over the place, but essentially, you will waste less money on nutrients and such (and have less hassle) in a smaller container. Your containers MIGHT be overkill. Of course, you MIGHT know exactly what you are doing for your conditions or be TRYING to grow 6+ foot monsters - who am I to judge? It really depends on what you are trying to accomplish, and how messed up my perspective is...lol

Hey all just wanted to throw this tidbit out to everyone. I used to lay brick and block and can tell ya from experience, the best string for scrogging is masonry string. Has enough stretch to tighten up perfectly! Good luck y'all! I'll be going back scroggin after I finish this round of Auto Berry Bombs.

Not sure if you meant more indica in them. Sativa dominant strains have longer flowering periods!! Anyway looking good bro!

They are 7 gal containers. I didn't think 5 gal would be enough for an 8 week veg, so I went with 7 gal. I guess we'll see if I guessed right. LOL

You're right about the nutes, though. I didn't think about that. If I guessed wrong then it'll be a waste. Just hoping for 10-12 zs per plant.

Not sure if anyone has thought of or posted this but i used those plastic coated square screens used for closet organizers.
They are cheap and available at ikea or most dollar stores. They can be connected in many configurations.

Great thread btw its what made me go scrog and im not converted lol

It'll be fine. 7 isn't that big. Even if they were 10, your plants would be good, but I'm glad for you that they're not. 8 weeks from seed, or 8 weeks following a 21 or so day seedling period? (I'm guessing from looks that they're from seed, but I can't say 100%) I bet your screens are full in about a month from now if you're running 18/6. I'd flip at about 80% if you're running something heavy on the sativa side. Sorry if you've got it all under control, and I just sound like a backseat driver. I like the mix & match lighting, and I envy the space you have available!
