Hey everyone,
ive been growing with a trellis for about the last year and love it...
and id like to share my knowledge of trellis growing (scrog)
Good strains for a trellis:
I've found two good types of plants that are well suited for this style of growing;
1. "Branchy Hybrids", (trainwreck, uk cheese, og kush), my favorite, branchy but still having some "indica" (compact bud profile),Ive ran a few 100% sativas but there not my cup-o-tea
2. "Mostly Indica", (purple kush, purple paki), these plants are alittle more stacked and produce FAT buds if trained well,
Vegging for Trellis growing;
I like to veg in 1 gal. pots of coco after cloning in Aerocloner,
i veg untrained till about 12'' (9-12 nodes) and then top the plant, giving it around 8-12 really solid branches that will turn in to nice fat tops, wait a week for the plant to recover and "bush up"
Flowering with a Trellis
i than transplant to 3gal. and put the trellis on at around 9'', i then take all the branches and train em out in all directions leaving space in between each branch and spreading out evenly (this opens the plant up and will GREATLY increase yield)
Then as you flower keep tucking the branches under as desired, indicas are less work, while sativas youll be in there everyday
Heres some iphone pics of the progression of a trellis grow...
From just put into 12/12
Mid stretch
Mid flower
Let me know what you think....
