1x1 meter? what's the light? HPS but what wattage not that it really matters.
That's a nice batch of clones you fell into!
IF all you have is that 1x1m area to work with,.... plug all those plants in 1 gallon pots and do a SOG.

Hey, have a few questions, how much pruning of leaves above screen do u do? Think my crowding is doing more harm then good from shading. And how many colas are average? I've got about 60 per sq yard. Thanks!

It'd get awful tight in there really quick!!! Looking forward to seeing how it'll turn out.

I try and train my stretch some, so I'll get about 20-25 cola's per plant, each plant is about 2x2' I'd wager I'm about 30-40 per yard. I don't do any leaf pruning.

Thanks! I have about 10 colas on plants about 1x1 ft. If u do the math a sq yard is 9 sq ft so u have 60+ colas

2x2 = 4 square feet = 25 colas x2 = 8 square feet, =50 colas..... give or take a foot yeah, 60 per square yard is a bit on the high side for an estimate, but still reasonable. My Avatar picture is a single White Widow plant,... she's a bit bigger than 2x2,... maybe 2x2.5? She had around 20 cola's? and yielded 650g wet. (never got a dry weight since my patients were too happy to try it out! )
My last grow was DJ Short Vannilluna, again the plant was 2x2, and only gave me 14 colas?

So I guess I have it too crowded, need to thin leaves or make less tops. I've got like 30 I think

Got a pic? I think it'd be hard to be too crowded. I'm not a fan of trimming fan leaves, the plant is using them to make their food, so cutting them off starves the plant.

Im working on my first scrog but this is exactly how I did it
All 3 of my girls are around a 2x2 and all three of them are different. IT was pretty tricky scrogging the different strains but it was definitely a learning experience! I can't wait to see how it plays out!

Hello Woodsman and fellow growers.
I have a question that I hope you can answer for me.
I am transferring two plants soon into a 3x3 grow box with a 600HPS, Jilly Bean and Botofumeiros. I have built a grow tray very similar to the Original DWC.
I am about a month in from seed and have my seedlings in roto rooter plugs; now plugged into 4x4 rockwool under 3-2ft P&A bulbs. Plants are both 6-8 inches and have about 4-6 stem pairs.
To grow SCROG, can I FIM the top of the plants soon to create more branching and colas? Or is it best to just LST?
Also, which do you feel works best, the square grid or chicken wire?
Thank you for your time. I appreciate all the help that specialists like yourself offer to fellow and novice growers.

LOOKING FOR SOME ADVICE FROM EXPERIENCED SCROGGERS
Im wanting to scrog 2 of my next plants (Blue Widow, K-Train). This is my second grow but first time doing scrog so I'm looking for a little guidance so I get the most out of it. Got a 150w HPS. I guess I'm looking for some tips and techniques on how to feed them through the screen to get a nice even canopy. Do you ever have to move the branches around or does everything stay in the same hole of the screen once its through? I tried a little LST on my first grow and one of the side branches took off and shadowed the rest, so I was wondering if you ever have problems like that and have to do any topping in scrog?
All the help is greatly appreciated, I'm excited about the potentials of this method and what it can bring.

Fim Top, bend tie do as you will
Personally I have done pretty much all of it, I like to just LST and 1 FIM. I've been running my girls about 1.5-2' tall (if they were straight up) before flipping to flowering under a screen. Once in flower I'll train the stretch to the screen and keep the canopy under control. They wind up covering about 2x2' area with around 20 tops, and produce around 5-6 oz dry.As for the screen, I started with chicken wire, but since moved to the 2x3" garden fence since it's pretty much impossible to harvest off of the chicken wire. Even with the larger openings the buds are a tight fit to get them out of the 2x3!

I use the 2 x 4" wire its perfect.If youre going to Fim do it as early as possible six internodes at least.I have found that they all get to be the same size if you did your job right and have even lighting.leave her or them in veg at least a week under the wire,train em.Tie em from the top or bottom whatever is needed for each cola,they are workable into the second week of 12/12.I scrog in mix this time of year so I dont have to heat the nutes.Roots shrink like a dick in cold water.SCROG Rulez,its the key to larger yeilds.

ive seen a lot of scrogs on here, im almost looking everyday for new ones but how come i never see people using bigger pots for soil like for example 4 10 gal pots in a 4x4 under an 1000watter scrogged? if anybodys knows any journals or links where people are scrogging with 10+ gallon pots per plant in soil please post them for me!

Yeah, I'd like to see that done too, I bet you'd have to veg em out for along time though, but defently be worth it in the end. I'd think you'd want a bigger screen than a 4x4 though cause I've seen plants that are grown in 10+ gallon pots and their pulling 1lb or more off them so... But yeah, I really wanna see that setup
