I like to follow the measurement of gr/M2 or GSM, so I place one plant per 1 square meter screen. If you go 2' X 2' screen per plant you can fit two rows of four, and cover it with your lighting.Very good thread people, I'm learning quite a bit from this thread. I've never done a scrog befor, and am trying to soak up what I can from these forums.
I've come to the conclusion that the lighting in my flower room is too wimpy for a traditional upright grow, so scrog is the way to go. I have an 8ft x 8 ft. flower room with (4) 400 watt hps lamps for lighting. Power available makes it impossible to go with higher power lamps as I would like. I grow in (2) 3 ft. x 8 ft. areas with 2 lamps to each grow area. and a 2 ft. access space between them. If this makes sence. ( I can't do pictures at the moment) I then built a scrog setup to cover the 3 ft. x 8 ft. growing areas. I built them with adjustable height so as to make modifications as I learn. Currently they are at 2 ft. height above the floor.
I am growing in soil, havent decided on pot size yet.
So my question(s) is basically how many plants would be the optimum number for each setup? I have just about any size pots to use. I figured I can either fit 4 or 5 5 gal pots or more smaller 2 gal pots. I know this is somewhat strain dependant. also at what height above the pots should I be adjusting the screen height?
For my first attempt I will be growing White Rhino which are currently in my grow room at around 6 inches in height, so I have time to make adjustments to my setup befor moveing them to my flower room .
I have seen pictures in this forum showing everything from just one large pot, to a mass of smaller ones. Is there some kind of ideal size, or is this just growers choice?
Thanks for any help and advice in advance.
I dig it brother!Progress!!!
We'll still be here!my new setup i wont be growin til feb tho

Ya lilindian, shes still going. Check out my journal.Daaaaamn, this one still goin on?
Unless there is reason that does not meet the eye, you may find yourself far better off allowing the plant to fill the majority of your screen prior to flowering. Most strains will not fill more than 20% of the surface area during the first few weeks of flower and thus, you will be selling your design short. Otherwise, I would have to suggest a smaller screen and more plants.View attachment 1937891super lemon haze scrog i'm going to flip to 12/12 anyday now
The pic with my dog is pretty awesome. I was just trying to snap a shot of my training underneath the scrog and didn't even see the fucker back there watching me. lol. He knows not to come in the tent but he def likes to watch. Peace
ok mate thanks for your help and adviceThe plant looks fine and healthy, I bet you will be happier than if you had not screened! Enjoy!

In the western parts of the globe, fall/freeze up time can spell mold and mildew for some gardens if not properly vented, cooled, clean, etc. Air flow is critical for a dense canopy. Keep good air movement throughout your screened gardens. Foliage below and some within your canopy, can be harvested to increase the ease of air movement quite effectively.
Keep us posted! She's coming right along.
