just do 2 plants side by side or up an down from each other... which gives them each 2x2 area. dont go with larger than 5 gallons since it be a waste. very little room to work with as is... throw a 1kw cooled over them or atleast a 600w.... grow them up 7-8 nodes then top them. let them veg until screen is little before half filled. then switch to 12/12 and tuck them for first week of flower an let them grow out from then on...

you could deffinetly get 1 lb off the two under a 1kw.

hi guys im a new member and im slowly working my way through the pages on the forum some very usefull stuff on here!!! im considering doing my 1st scrog grow and have a few questions, how much added veg time is there growing this way? do you have to top or can you get away without it? an also how many plants would i scrog under a 600w? usually i do 10-12 in pots under a 600w clones go straight on 12/12 once in there, this gives me an 8-9wk turnaround and get 14-15oz could i expect much of an increase vs the extra veg time?
cheers DD

This is my first indoor grow, and first ScrOG ever. Today is the 9th day of flower after vegging for 10 weeks.

This below was the first day that I got her, that's a 5 gallon bag.

Now this is many weeks later, and in a 20 gallon pot.

About a week after that photo she went in the screen(4-25).

And here she is as of yesterday evening, 8 days into flower

Hey guys. I like the idea of SOG just for the sake of saving a little money on lighting, but I'm limited to 6 flowering plants. With numbers that small and plenty of room, would SOG be really beneficial to me?

Do any of you have any experience with training your plant in veg (topping, FIMing, Supercropping) for numerous tops, flipping to 12/12 and then after the first 2 week initial stretch is over adding the screen??? Been watching a growers vids on Youtube who does this and his canopies look amazing. I am only asking because all of the info I have gotten so far suggests filling out your screen in veg and then flipping. I've done this on a couple grows and each time the stretch overgrows my SCROG. What are the drawbacks of letting her stretch w/o a screen, supercropping a flatish canopy and then installing the SCROG screen to hold her down. From that point on she should be focused on bud production and not vegitative growth.

We run a few gardens like this.. When I started this thread, I was vegging bushes for screening. (not a method that works for everyones situation, but can be done very well). Draw backs: Many plants respond to training differently. Not all will train best in this manner. Branches get broken.. etc.

Right now, in my Scrog Pod systems I top clones and veg for a few weeks into a small bush about 2' in diameter (clone to bush in two weeks, clones are taken from topped branches). They then meet the screen, and spend another two weeks in a veg room filling the screen. After two weeks for most plants, the screen is full (3'x3' single plant units, in pods of 4 under 1000w). All units are on wheels and spin 1/4 turn ever day.. (3/4 - 1lb per plant).

Im trying to get SCROGGY!!!I have A 1000 watt HPS,and a 3.5x3.5 closet.

questions:

A. Is this too much light for that size space??
B. how many plants would be optimal for this amount of space and light?
C. I have a GH Rainforest and plan on using it,I have a few ideas as far as changing the water goes,while not disturbing the plants and scrog...But would love to hear if anyone else has used this setup with success.


happy scrogging,And I apologize if this is in the wrong place.


cheers!

A. That's not too much light, but that may be too much heat. How tall is the closet, and are you using an air cooled hood or a spreader? If you're using an air cooled hood, as long as you have a sufficient exhaust system you should be fine, otherwise that 1,000 will fry the shit out of your plants.
B. How many plants you want to use is going to depend on how long you want to veg them for and how much the strain you're going to use is going to stretch. I vegged one plant out for 11 weeks and she got way bigger than I anticipated (Not a bad thing).
C. I have no frame of reference here because I'm only on my first grow, and it's in soil.

I hope I helped a little bit and wish you luck. Happy growing! :peace:

what that guy said. also pay attentin to how big you let your plant get. some sativas will tripple in size once in flower. indicas double.

Its some Seedman NL/Indica-80%Sativa-20%,Thanks for the reply man,This forum is a huge asset.Right now Im just trying to get my numbers/measurements down while my cuttings get to the right size.

Thanks alot for the reply man.Im not sure what strains would be good for this method,but the NL was available so I took it. :) Its a air cooled hood with a 6 inch duct out of a Active Air fan.I dont think the heat inside the area will be a problem.Now keeping my res temp down,That's another story.


thanks again for the replies.

PS. I think I'm going to go with 3 plants.That way I have plenty of room to work under the canopy,as well as get to the res.
