    A Couple Questions....

    I guess what I'm meaning to ask is what setup should I have inside a 4x4x7 box to optimize yields? Is it recommended to scrog or let plants grow vertically (if they have enough room) I'm guessing they're about the same. However, I am unsure as I do no know if the stressing (from scrogging)...
