When you ask a store employee though, ask for "Chicken Wire" or they'll look at you funny. They have NO idea what you're talking about, in most cases.

Wow, this is the 3rd thread ive seen where people have recommended bad information on Scrog.
Unless your dealing with a plant that has huge amounts of stretch (sativa), you need to veg the plant and train it under the screen, tucking growth that pops through back under. Training the plant sideways under the screen is what gives you more internodes and later, budsites.
Typical indica you would veg until the plant covers about 50% of the total horizontal screen space, then switch to flower and continue tucking vertical growth under the screen until the stretch stops. This creates a flat canopy with ALOT of internodes and sites to start budding from, which in the end creates a flat sea of buds using the entire screen. This is FAR superior to LST, and takes ALOT less work as your not tieing down branches constantly, you are simply tucking them under the screen. The only advantage to LST is that you can keep plants seperated in case of a male or hermi.
As freezerboy has said before, vegging plants for weeks then a week before flowering putting a screen ontop is not scrog, infact its not anything.
Give it a go next time DB, you'll see a huge difference, by the way, nice plants dude.

Well put Tranc3r!
yea your right except im not using it like that. i need the screen to organize light penetration. the way i grew it i now have over 80 top colas between 5 plants and each of those tops have 8-10 smaller buds on them- making somewhere between 600-700 budsites. i think thats pretty good for t5s. i dont want mould and i want as many budsites to recieve light as possible. im not growing real scrogg bc when i was training them when they were young i was mainly going to lst but the branches got outta hang and didnt want to have string tied everywhere. im sure i could have done better with it but my origional goal was to fit 5 plants under a 340w t5 system and bud well. its so early to tell because im not even in my 3rd week yet.

sounds like good info.
can you tell me, in this case, at what height should you put your plants under a screen thats 9 inches from pot level - I would've thought anything less than 9 inches was redundant no? Should I get them in there at about 8 inches and then roughly how long should further vegging take place? The reason I ask is I have my veg and flower in seperate cabs and don't want to use the sodiums for vegging (expensive and wrong spectrum). I'm currently growing pp clones, they'll go in first followed by some blue/cheese/haze seedlings if that helps with what information to offer - although I'd prefer more "all round" advice for the future so maybe assume a hypothetical plant of 50/50 sat/ind with "medium" tendencies in everything
thanks for any further info

You actually get a fair amount of screen coverage done during the early stretch period of flowering. How much is very much strain dependent, ao there is a lot to be said about learning one strain very well and using that in a ScrOG config. Check out how my ScrOG is coming along. Pics from flowering day 29.
