I have 6 WW x BB in an RDWC setup under 2,000w Magnum XXXL's, House & Garden nutrients, CO2 & water chiller. You can click the links in my signature to see my 1st grow that yielded 1,007gr. I'm going to attempt to double that on this grow using the SCROG technique.

These are clones. They veg'd under 250w CFL for 2 weeks and then I moved them in to the DWC setup 3 weeks ago. So . . . These plants were cut from the mother 5 weeks ago.

Taking a bigger cutting does produce a bigger clone. I think these were all 6-8" cuttings that I put in a bubble bucket under 250w cfl for 2 weeks. The root growth was sick!!!

You should have veg'd them a few more weeks and really filled out that screen. Shit you could pull 6-7 p's doing that.

this may sound dumb, so forgive me, but whats the actual purpose of the screen? I mean i get that you pull nodes into the screen but how does it yield more than tying branches down or other techniques

You are supposed to veg the plant for long enough so that it fills up the whole screen, and when you flip to flower all the buds grow upward at the same level, so they all receive full amount of light, thus increasing yield. Well that's the theory anyway.

I have vegged them for 3 weeks already. In 2-3 weeks that screen will be full. I'm already worried they may be too crowded.

I'm using the SCROG method. Don't listen to iamaaror - if you veg until the screen is 100% full you have vegged for too long and when they flower the light won't penetrate the canopy.

The Screen of Green or more commonly known as ScrOG method, is a technique used mainly by
growers who have limited vertical space and also by growers with low level of lighting, such as flouro's,
small wattage HPS and HID lights. The screens are usually made in a rectangular shape,
although other shapes can also be used with good success. The ScrOG method can be used with
hydroponic or organic plants, seeds and also the more commonly used for this method, clones.
The main goal of using the ScrOG method is to have more area of lighting available to the plant or plants,
usually resulting in more potent buds and higher yields. The ScrOG method is best used by novice and
experienced growers, a good knowledge of pruning and training is required.

I never said fill the screen 100%. I just think you could have done with another week trying work the plants towards the middle of the screen. I am building my first SCROG at the moment, it's all very exciting.
