Hi guys and gals!

I've decided to give this whole SCROG thing a go, ive been using dwc and hit problems with my tent with height issues (mind you going off the scrog results on here im soo glad i hit those problems!).

I need some info though please and its a noobish question - When the plant hits the screen do i let it grow about 2 inches above it and then just move the end to the next hole out i want to go to and repeat? or do you "weave" the plant through the net in and "over-under-over-under" fashion?

Also, when you put it to flower am i still moving it / weaving it through the stretch phase (so like first 3 weeks) and trying to get one flower / pistol site per hole in the screen?

My green house seeds kalashnikova has popped n is about 1.5" high and i have a sam sara supersonic crystal storm auto just poking up im going to give a go on the scrog too, yey! I may even start a journal once i get the program that sorts my camera phone pics out.

Cheers in advance for the advice n help guys!

When the growth tips are 2" past the screen pull it back down and move to the next hole.. you dont want to try to fill every hole you need air circulation... For DWC your going to have a larger plant if set up right.. I flower an few days after my plants hit the screen most of the time before budding even starts I have filled the screen if you wait to long and dont flower till screen is filled you could end up with a plant that is still to tall.. soil grows can usally fill the screen then flower..

Hi Scotty, cheers for your reply sir.

Cool, i have had a few pm's off people giving me similar advice on training the plant around the screen so will be going with simply moving it to a new hole rather than "weaving". See I was wondering about the stretch during flower, most of the info ive found must be to do with soil grows from clones because if I veg my plant till its 80% or so of the screen its going to double in size, come out of the screen and be a pointless excercise (my last grow the plant nearly trippled in size when switched to flower).

So it would be better to set the screen say 8-10 inches above my plant, wait until it hits the screen, give it say a week to start to train the plant and then switch to flowering and train it until the first 2-3 weeks after the first pistols have appeared and leave it alone after that??.

Cheers!!

Im working from theory here but the plants shouldn't be flowered until they are trained for the screen. it was too early to put them into flower, should wait at least a couple more weeks or until the screen is full of foliage then flower. The idea is to allow the plant to grow sideways thus alleviating flowers on the lower part of the plant not getting much light. Also for controlling height growth if that is a concern.
