SCROG questions

[George Clooney]

I will be using the SCROG technique for my grow, but I have a few questions before starting. I've read through a lot of different things about the the technique, but I still do not understand a few different things. My first question is when is the best time to start training my plants horizontally under the screen? Some articles i've read say to wait until the plants are a certain height (usually 3 to 5 inches), but other articles say to wait until the plant has a certain number of bud sites. Also, I will be using two 400w MH/HPS bulbs. I'm not exactly sure how far up I should place my screen above my pots. Is this based on the bulbs I use, or should I just adjust them as I go ? Sorry if these seem like stupid questions, but I have never used this technique so I do not want to do anything wrong. Thanks guys

buds site will form during later vegging close to when you should switch to flow wait till the plant gets above the scrog net then tuck them under (top the plant) to get more branches ill top only once also check fuck I missed topping I heard of it on youtube from pro grower he states its way more better than pinching or topping
