The tray holding buckets could also be connected to a hoist system that allows the whole mod to raise and lower as needed....

summed up: does photosynthisis occur in flowers?, particularly cannabis plants. Certainly!
Not all the parts of a cannabis flower convert energy by means of light, however some parts do such as the calyx, or sepals. In both can be found
chloroplasts and mitochondrion.
I've been reading a lot about Scrogging and I found in my garage what I think will make a good set up for it. So I took a 4 week old Feminized Aurora Indica plant and set it up! Can't wait to see what she dose in it! I'm keeping a journal the link should be at the bottom of the post if your interested in checking it out. I'll post some pics here too! What do you think? 
I'm using: 400 watt MH conversion light for veg, 400 watt HPS light for Flowering, Fox Farm nutes Grow BIG Big, Bloom, & Tiger Bloom, Black Gold Organic potting mix, & I have but not sure if I want to use it for my first scrog Bushmaster. Gravity, and Snowstorm Ultra.
I modified my set up a little today, I think its much better like this. First off I raised up the rack and put it on legs. Now I can put the drain pan on the floor under the pot, which makes flushing and watering much easier. I also removed the big green pipe in the center of the screen. It really was not doing anything, just getting in the way. With it gone it gives the main stem a little more room to breath & grow!
I added three updated pics!

Well there ya go buddy, good luck with that. It should work just fine. I am sure you will soon be on your way to building your next scrog.
A succinct and helpful answer, thank you. I still wonder though if light energy captured by a bud will fatten that bud directly, or does it benefit the bud indirectly by benefiting the plant overall? I'm not familiar with botany or its terms so it's hard to articulate my question well, but hopefully you know what I'm asking.

Well fellow scroggers, heres your chance!
After following other competitions here on RIU, I have realized what a learning experience it is for all and would like to see the same done with SCROG. If there is interest and enough folks willing to compete, I will go ahead and post the link.

WOW sounds interesting...If this wasn't my first Scrog maybe I would try it out! But I'm still learning. LOL
How many more weeks do you all think before I should switch to 12/12?? See pic! she is 5 weeks old now! under 400watt MH. In 3 gallon pot, filled with black gold potting mix, and I'm using fox farm, nutes. I so want to bud her now, it so hard not to. Especially when I'm out ! LOL

If your not restricted on room around the screen, I would wait till its near full before I switched. Dont worry so much about pushing larger leaves through the screen, let the smaller parts of the top shoots poke through and stretch a bit. Once tall enough to reach a new hole, pull it back through and move it outward. It should only be a couple weeks maybe, and you will be ready to switch. The first two weeks into flower there will be a jump in the plants stretch so you may want to plan to flower a bit before the screen is 100% full.
Thanks a bunch! That pretty much what I thought, I just wanted to hear if from someone who had done it before. I broke off my first branch today ( by mistake)..LOL It was a little small branch, maybe too small to clone but I tryed it anyways. I think maybe next time I will use two plants instead of one. Thanks again!

I like that, you sound like me a couple weks ago. Also on my first srog, broke a branch and tried to clone it. Best of luck with your scrog
Sorry haven't been on in a while guys, first 2 weks of flowering is keeping me busy. Got some pics from a few days ago, will try get some new ones today and catch up on what I missed.
Happy viewing

Just like stretching your own limbs, take your time. Some plants do this more easily than others, but almost all of them repair them selfs very quickly. Worry not my friend!
For a neat read, look up: Tissue Culture of Cannabis. Maybe some day you will be able to mail out your "broke offs" to a friend to grow.
