Thanks. Great info. I've tried SCroG before (many years ago) and was doing a little research because I want to try it again. I'm glad I found this thread. In the past, I just grew the plant up to the screen and spread it. I never thought about training her like this before she got to the screen. Should make a BIG difference.

Very cool tutorial; I was wondering 2 things. The first is, what would happen if I FIM'ed rather than topped at the beginning stages of growth (In terms of bud production)? The second main thing is I noticed this grow is in soil but I thought I saw you say you have switched over to hydro. I Grow in bubbleponics and wonder if you have any tips for holding the plant down (spikes wont work so I was thinking string and tape) or any other hydro specific tips in addition to shorter veg times.

Really sorry I didnt see this way back when u posted, hopefully the reply is still useful.
not much difference,....2 more tops but I wouldnt do it on purpose, the middle of the plant will fill with all those minor arms coming up
Ive done hydro for a few yrs as well and found a few things that wrk. The beauty of any lst type training is you can get creative as all hell. In hydro tho, I always would put the plant under when it was about 5" above the screen (height wise). To get the plant in there I would lift the screen and drop it in the bucket and then have someone else inch the screen down as I would tuck. If u have multiple plants, do them all at once. @ 5" above the screen, I had the perfect amount to fill a 3.5 x 3.5 screen after stretch
Many hydro set ups are different,.....problem solve that shit. I was running 4 smaller plants per screen so my options were limited. Single bucket set ups with independent screens,.......many options
Grow 'Em Up!!

Great thread & photos!
I am trying this method with my new grow box!
From page one:
So you only top once, or do you go ahead & pull the (4) new sprouts?
I know it is an option, just curious what you meant in the quote above.
For this grow, I think I am going leave it as is with the one top. My plants are filling out nicely. The only other 'topping' I may do is when I clone.
