Depends what I feel like really. I LST onto a screen when I see 3 nodes. Rather than your traditional scrog. Could use more time in vegetation possibly thats all. Basically if i feel like being more intimate with my plants then i'll lst onto a screen. Hated lsting on the soil itself or strings to sides of pots.
to an extent i agree with you, have done alot of LSTing to the sides of pots some plants i did it for 4 weeks straight running the plant alonh the entire rim of the bucket. now i wait till about week 3 tie down once to let the auxins spread through the plant and then untie it. its just enough to get the side branches to reach up a bit and bush out the plant. i dont know if i like the scrog method so much as it requires additional veg time and training.
i just put a rooted clone into my flower room want to see how that does 12/12 from rooted clone and what the yeild is off it. trying to dial in a good size to put them into flower so i can get a nice yeild off each plant and have morre plants per cycle. im looking ot try and get 2-3 OZ off each plant and possibly harvest 5 plants every 2 weeks but space and time are a huge issue for me right now, i know i can get 2-3 Oz off one plant its getting the timing down so im not overcrowding my flower room and getting more bud/plant ratio if that makes any sense.....
the place im growing right now i promised the guy 1 plant every cycle as his payment for letting me do my deal at his spot. he is content with that since im paying for everything (including electricity) but he is taking the risk of having the op in his home.
