The Scrog Club

Lookin' great kindone. Well, ya got around one week left of stretch and it looks like your footprint could fill in just a little more width wise, so I'd just train them till they're done stretching.

Hey guys just found this thread as well, I'm posting from an iPhone atm so I can't post
Pics until after Xmas when I get a new laptop. So until then I'll be a reader and advice giver lol.

So I've been growing for close to 4.5 years now alot of which was like most younger growers I used "ghetto tek" fluorescent tubes and what not. Recently I switched to ScrOG to maximize my yeild within my smaller flowering room. Currently I'm running an air cooled 600w HPS, using 6 plants under 3 seperate 2'x4.5' screens. This way I can arrange the screens the way I choose or only do 2 at a time whatev. At the same time I have 6 more plants in a separate veg room under fluorescents all of the veg plants are topped as soon as they root and are immediately LST'd to create as many branches as possible this also allows me to move the veg plants to the flowering room with ease and I don't have to worry about pulling the plant from the screens.

I'm using all advanced nutrients at this time until I run out then I may switch to entirely using veganic nutrients. From what I've read this my be the next step in improving my grow technique.

I hate posting w/o pics but I rather post up what I'm doing and get in the thread other than just saying I'm subbed lol

Just gotta get the comp working

Looks good man, that skunkberry is making my mouth water. I have been looking at bringing a cheese strain into my garden, I have never smoked one. Do you have mothers going of the cheese and skunkberry? If I remember correcttly you are from kzoo, my hometown. If you would be interested in swapping clones, I have OG # 18 now and SLH and grapefruit diesel that will be big enough to cut from in a few weeks. Let me know.

Could someone show me pictures of where you need to top the plant exactly for SCROG? Or even give me some exact info, because i am not sure of where i need to do it exactly.

Also i was wondering if it was still worth it for me to do SCROG because i do not have a height problem but i do think it is a great idea to increase the quantity while you have great quality. So please let me know what you guys think.

Thanks

Hey guys I plan on going SCROG my next grow and I am wonder what the general/rules of thumb is concerning when to stop tucking/weaving around the switch to 12/12 (do must people stop a week before or after or the same day?)

Depending on the strain and the amount of normal stretch. But as a general rule you want 80% of the screen filled. Some will fill completely and flip after a few inches of vert growth. You have to experiment with your strain and ability. The first grow will be a bit blind.

Peace

This should help out

Thank you very much i420

Do most people actually weave the stems under and over the netting or just under?

Would SCROG get me a bigger yield in my wardrobe? Check it out I'm really curious to know! https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/407692-my-new-wardrobe-grow-6.html#post5355819

Im doing a little test at the moment. My dysentery cough grow wa done in a stealth cabinet with scrog. Im currently doing a blackberry grow au natural but letting them get a little bigger. As for thenpost before. I've read that looping stems over and under can reduce the flow of water and nutes to the tips. Hope this helps

new to the method of scrog and got a few questions...
1) do i top or fim before putting the scrog on?
2)do i add the scrog by pushing down on the top portion of the plant with the screen? or do i just let it grow on it?
3) is it possible to twine the plant into the holes during veg?

I top my girls several times before going under. FIM all the time

Train your girl then put under screen. As she grows vertical you pull her under and lay her flat against the underside of the screen. Rinse and repeat.
3) is it possible to twine the plant into the holes during veg?
yes ... do if you like but it is a waste of time and you'll curse it during harvest.

I've seen the canopy lift screens. Train the girls and then let her grow into the screen.

No .... I think most simply pull under. I have had to let stems weave but only because it was too well woven and I would just leave it. I just pull under and direct to an area.

This is a question with relativity written all over it. Scrog will change the shape and growth of your plant. It gives you more potential bud site and brings them all closer to the light source. However ..... you training and veg time will more determine the yield than the plant style. Than being said I relate the yield to the space and the time. Yes a scrog will yield more weight and more quality buds. This of course is determined by the veg and training time.

Here is a crude example of the scrog technique and how it levels the filed for the entire plant. In the first example you see the basic shape of a plant. The bud site at the top has a huge advantage over the other bud sites and will block a good portion of light. In the second example you see what a plant would face when under a screen or trained. In this case ALL of the bud sites have exposure to light and are signaled by the plant to become the top cola. So they all take off trying to be the main cola ..... you can imagine the result.

I looked at your grow and I would use a screen in there. But .... I would also screen the side walls and scrog vert in there too.
Good luck

Thanks for the help i420 definitely needed it!!

great thread. really wishing I had not topped mine and just let them grow. they would probably be farther along than they are.

What's up guys. Just wanted to give this fine thread a bump. Click on Medical Scrog 2.0 below to check my current scrog. Vanilla Kush, Bubba Kush, Red Dragon, and a Chuck-D cross in two rooms under 3k

What strains have you all found to do best in scrog?

i want to do a 4x8 foot screen how many plants would you recomend

here is my scrog of blue cheese at week 7 under a 400w hps.

bump.........
