to be honest it's really depends ... if u want one plant and veg for longer or few and veg in shorter amount of time .... when u do scrog there is no set time lets say 5 weeks and flip to 12/12... in scrog u going to veg and check percentage of foliage on your screen ...
what i mean by that is u not vegging to some point in time , but u vegging according to how many percent is your SCROG filled with canopy and then u flipped to 12/12,
vegging percent that u want to accomplish is determined by stretch of the plant in flowering ( different plant's , different stretch
)
What i meant by that is MMJ plants stretch first few weeks after flipping on 12/12 schedule , and u as a grower have to implement that knowledge into ur scrog , that means before scrog is fully filed u have to flip , leaving that extra space on scrog for the purpose of that stretch so u can fill up rest of the scrog while plant flower ... i hope that is understandable what i just wrote
for sativas dominant like hazes etc. u can flip when scrog is 50% to 60% full , for indica dominants 60% to 75% IMHO.
For Chron i would go like 75%
I so some post here on RUI when peep's was vegging to 100% scrog and the they was flipping to 12/12... u dont want to do that because when u do ... plant will stretch anyways and your scrog will be just a support for big plants instead be a support for whole bunch of main colas
... like i said before experimentation makes perfect
perfect timed flipped scrog i think
vegged to much scrog IMO and that is what i was talking about ... it will work only as a support
OK so let's go to ur another question ... plant count ... in 4x4 foot print if that would be me i would put 2 to 4 plants for quicker veg time , hmmmm i would lean more towards 4 ... but if you want to save money on beans u can even try to go with one and try to veg it for longer to spread that baby wider on scrog
.... that link what i give u guy veg that plant for five weeks and his footprint was 2x3 if i remember wright ... so that maybe will give u some ball park so u have rough guesstimate about how that strain reacts when vegging for scrog and i'm pretty sure it was hydro grow, if u do go hydro route IMHO ebb&flow tables r the best for scrog , but pep's done great thing in bucket systems too , ebb&flow it's just my preference
that would sum it up ... if u going to have any more questions just shoot them up brother
Till Then
