When do u attach the scrog screen?

Jay G said:

Hi everybody...ive been growin for years but have never actually done a scrog.. ive been doin as much research as i can, as i wanna give it a go...the only thing that seems to give me huge descrepancies, is when do u actually start using the screen??? Some people seem to do the screen after a decent amount of veg, more people seem like they dont even start the screen until a cpl weeks into flower

I start before 12/12. If you're going to get stretch I like being able to slowly weave the tops while they do.

Thanks.. so u actually start weaving the tops during veg, or just move them around during veg, then weave after flip?

Dont weave nothing before the stretch.you want your tops to build bud sites above the screen.fill it in about 80 percent than flip.gives you that extra week to fill it all the way in before they begin to stretch.a week into stretch thin it out and let em grow .
Keep everything nice and even.having a scrog that can go up and down helps.

Not during veg. I veg until they basically are full grown, place the SCROG and flip to 12/12. They still veg a bit but that's how I do it. The other poster obviously has his system with proof it rocks.

Thanks man, so just so im clear, u just continue moving the tops outward as they grow, all the way to flower, then in the beginning of flower, u start weaving the taller to fill n the gaps. Do i get it? And i imagine then, any height adjustment of the screen wld b only in veg. Last question... how high off the screen is ideal for the tops when u flip? Thanks again.

Thanks alot, its makes me feel so much more confident in the process, when i hear it from a person that has a full system that works proven. I appreciate the mainline tip too. Ive done alot of mainlining, but never used a screen. Right now i have 4 plants under a 8 lamp t5. Ones a mainline on its way to having 8 colas, ones a nebula"mainline" im trying 1st time. And two started as mainline and then got lstd and fimmed crazy.... (im playin around, ive been not growing fo 8 yrs) anyway those were the two i was gonna scrog each in its own2×2screen... then all 4 plants going n a 4x4 tent w 600w hps..i usually use a tomato ring on my mainline.. shld i scrog them too maybe? Got me thinkn.... anyway sorry for my life story, just happy to b back at it....thanks man
