Great job-especially for a second grow. This thread has tempted me toward V-SCROG for sure.
A question: It seems like this type of grow with all the side lighting would have yielded a few big colas as opposed to lots of smaller buds (as the OP noted). Is this the norm for SCROG or is the kinda strain/grow dependent? The OP noted some flaws in his grow, which may have been issues. Just trying to learn about this whole vertical thing.
