Do you ACTUALLY weave the plants? I have seen a bit of controversy on the topic. My plan was to just tuck everything under, tying to the scrog if necessary.
But still being pretty new, I will gladly take any help or advice from someone more experienced!
The best scrogs(and most proper) actually weave the branches. Not every square of the screen necessarily, you might just tuck some down, while others come up and then get woven back under. The weaving helps the plant build a strong structure right to the screen. Which provides support for the weight of the buds and branches once it gets flowering.
Some people put up a screen and push the branches down and then flip to flower and put up another screen to support the stems. Thats not a scrog, thats just using plant supports. Scrogs are supposed to be using the screen to control the canopy and make it a total screen of buds.
Ok so he said training, does that refer to quad lining prior to weaving. I have never done a screen but am starting a grow currently, 2 weeks from seed currently. So clarify this please, do these 2 techniques go hand in hand or am I just to thick to get it, lol Thank you, not trying to hijack the thread just trying to understand what Torment is doing and get the biggest yield.
You absolutely can combine different training methods. Utilizing LST, or topping and doing mainlining training can all be worked in conjunction to the screen training. Usually, those would be done early, and then the screen would finish the canopy structuring.
