HeresTheDank - 4 feet is definently enough height for a 250 + scrog.

a basic guidline for scrog is 1 plant per sq foot, and switch to 12/12 when the plants first penetrate the screen. if your using fewer plants, just fill the screen till about 60%-80%(depending on how much you expect the strectch to be) before switching over to flower.

yea 4 ft is plenty of height for a scrog, if you can you want to get a 250 within 6-8 inches of the tops, effective cooling will help you get the light close for maximum bud density. If you have 1ft tall pots, a screen that is 1ft off the soil surface, say your light and reflector use up the top foot of your cab that leaves you with 1 ft in the middle for say 6 inches of space and 6 inch tall buds above the screen. of course you can play around will all these numbers. Keep this thread alive!!!
As for the 2L bottle SOG how about using half gallon drink cups from 7-11?

looks like this here...








I only had four females so I got them into some bigger pots I think liek 5qt. maybe?

Nice scrog flying! I like the ghetto setup Underground man. Nice buds.

Just finished my 1st grow with a 250w hps and DWC and pulled about 4.5oz off 3 plants. Sorry no pics since my parents got the camera for the next few weeks for vacation. Here's 6.5 weeks, best pic I got. They went to 10 weeks.




I plan to document the whole next crop (ww x bb female seeds). :smoker: :smile:
