thanks for the response..I am already in the middle of a soil grow...but i am considering a waterfarm perhaps at some point...I just really like the scrog technique you employ...it seems to be the least amount of stress when it comes to bending,lst, etc a plant...Thanks man!
The Screen stays locked in place. Some scroggers have setups that allow for the screen to move around a bit, but you generally want to keep the plant from pushing the screen up and potentially unbalancing that even canopy. Scroggers that use very flexible materials to make their screens sometimes have problems in this area, too.
The height at which you initially place the screen depends upon the strain you're growing. For a stout little indica, the screen could be set about 8 inches up, though a leggy sativa would probably need 12 inches. Some early LST is def going to help when it comes to early scrog training. Something else to think about is how you're going to work around the screen when it comes to re-filling your reservoir or performing maitenance on your gear (assuming you're using a waterfarm/aquafarm or dwc kit.)
My grow space is small but kinda tall....its about 18" wide 28" deep, and over 7 ft high...I'm growing Skunk Haze (sativa) and from what I gather this can grow tall.....I'm at exactly 4 weeks of vegging now....
So if and when i decide to scrog I would probably leave the screen in place? and then what happens ? Do just the colas grow straight up then ?
thanks again, SC
