I was waiting for the plants to need watering before repotting into 8" pots and putting on the screen. I topped my plants the other day to get it ready for scrogging. I prefer topping to LST because it makes a nice symmetrical plant and kills the main growth shoot so all the cola's are all the same size.
The screen is made from a single coathanger spread out square with legs made from coathangers. It takes 3 to make up a screen. I duct tape it onto the pot securely so the plant can be lifted up by the screen. This was handy when scrogging in the rubbermaid tubs. I got the plastic coated wire at Home Depot. It was really cheap around $5 for 100 feet.
My growbox is pretty tight now with the 8" pots but there was still room to squeeze in the little TL. Actually I have room for 3 x 8" pots without screens and 2 x 10" pots.
Anyway I thought I'd find my SCROG tutorial from the old Rubbermaid days to jog my old memory...

When I did that reveg and got a ton of buds, I think I had 36-39 buds in a 2 sqft area. They were crowded enough that there were dominant and secondary buds. I should have cleaned out the secondary buds early. The yeild was around 1/2 of what I expected.
