Your setup sounds good, 8 plants under a 19 sqft shouldn't need much pre-vegging, LSTing will be nice to prep multiple branches but 1 plant per 2 sqft is more than enough, you may even get crowding.Question, I'm planning a U shaped scrog.. with a surface area of around 19 sqf.
I will using 8 plants under 2 x 400 w hps.
From midpoint to top of the screen would b around 23" x 60". Plants will be given approximately 15" width (2 rows). 2 rows and 4 columns.
I'm assuming that I should be vegging until maybe 25" in height, so around 17" (indica) will be on the screen. Does this sound about right? Can I get away with vegging for a shorter length? Or should I be vegging longer?
Please check my math. 23" x 75% (total screen fill) = 17.25" + 8" (under the screen) = 25.25" (to start flowering)
I will using LST in veg using an S type shape as to ready the plant for the U SCROG setup. The S shaped LST will be placed directly under my U shape SCROG for easy transfer.
Will be vegged in ebb and flow, then transferred to HP aero.
Can't wait to see it, I hope we get some pics!
