most definitely I would say that is LST on a whole other level honestly the only difference I see between SCROG and LST is that you have to veg the plant up to the screen and that costs you a little bit more money for the extra time in veg possibly rather then preparing a canopy from the start however if you do not have a good circumference in your pot you run out of room and uncontrollable stretching begins happened to me with my current grow in my 3 gallon smart pots really made me cringe it is pretty much the reason why I am determined to take up SCROG
However, does the extra maturity of the plant give you thicker colas in your opinion rather then just trying to build an even canopy from the base of the pot?
