I have been searching high and low trying to find a bit of information that I had located a few years ago. I am unable to find what I recall seeing, however I am now interested in creating new information for the current year. What I was hoping to share was a list of strains that are what most folks would consider "good" scrog strains.

Now, of course some companies claim certain strains as "good for scrog". Some times this is true and other times I have found it to be a better sales pitch than accurate statement. I too enjoy scrogging most all strains, however. There most certainly is room for choosing truly "good" strains for scrog. We can see that traits given in a genetic line that produce bushy plants as an advantage when scrogging. We can also see that plants which keep a very symmetric growth pattern are suited well for the method. There are also characteristics that make plants uniquely suited such as plants that have a greater increase in growth rate during the first parts of flowering.

That said, I would like to ask help from the community here in the organization of a suitable Scrog Strain Guide.

What I will be doing is keeping track of noted strains that are particularly applicable to the method of scrog and why. I will do the research of each when they are presented, list the information pertinent, and post as quickly and often as possible keeping the list current.
I would like to ask the community/members to help in the creation as well as updates, corrections, additions, etc.

Is there is anyone that would like to propose an idea for an easy way that we can all be involved in the making, changing, and editing of the list?

I think I will change the light cycle to 12/12 on Monday morning. I just took two updated pics. If I take a two week stretch into consideration, my screen should be just about full. I can't wait any longer..LOL :leaf:

I have to agree with Woodsman on this one, try hold off a few more days. I switched to 12/12 19 days ago and really wish I had waited. Growing white widow in DWC and she didn't stretch that much considering my screen was 70% full at the time.

Sorry for the late reply.

I'm liking the idea of a comp :D Think a hand carved pipe would make a great addition to my collection. Got a bit of a thing about pipes.

Will get some pics with the light off soon and think there's a few of your posts that I need to reply to. Been tied up over the last week but will hopefully be back to having lots of time by next week.

:peace:

Yes. It was a greenhouse. I have a few of them . One has 4 levels on it and I separated it, and made two out of it. One I use in my mother room and the other I used for my scrog. I also have one more smaller one that I want to try to use outdoors, to make an outdoor scrog! I saw them on eBay for $35.00 each delivered, they are expensive for a rickety dinky thing. I tried to take one apart and the plastic shattered. LOL That one must have been in the sun too long! :weed:

Hey all,

I am considering doing a scrog on my next grow. I always have a problem with canopy management and a scrog look like the way to solve that.

I am considering several strains I have currently as potential scrog candidates.

What kind of growth structure makes the best for scrogging yield? I have both short branchy indicas as well as typical, sativa dom tall, inverted xmas tree type strains and am trying to find the best one.

Many thanks in advance, feel free to check out my current, non scrog grow to give you an idea of my canopy management issues.

After switching over to a 12/12 on/off lighting schedule, do I still pull the tops back under the screen, or do I just let it grow through it. Thanks in advance!:bigjoint:

How hard is it to harvest with a SCROG? Im planning to do multiple stains, looks like it could be a pain in the ass! Why do they always say start from the outside and fill towards the middle? I know the lights in the middle more, but I never noticed my colas reaching for it in my grows (not SCROG). My light covers my area really good though. Is it just a scrog thing, the branches in the middle want to grow faster?

Wolf from what Ive read you do if your screen isnt filled up to about 2 weeks in flower. But Ive never done it. Looks like you have some open screen still. Also looks like some fan leaves need to go away. I think now I understand why they say to do that seeing your picture!

I agree, when I do harvest most of the tops will be all around the out side of the screen leaving a space in the middle. Ohh well it's a learning process right, next time will be better. Every grow since I've started just keeps getting better and better, higher yields, and better smoke! I know I will be happy with what I get out of this scrog, and the next will be even better! I will keep pulling the tops back through the screen until I see bud sights starting to form. Then I will let the tops grow through the screen. I also have already started to remove some of the fan leaves that are under the screen, but I don't want to take too much at one time. I don't want to stress my plant at this point! I have started to cut some of the top fan leaves in half, but the fan leaves are the plants solar panels and provide the plant with the energy she need to produce flowers, so I'm taking it slow!

Very nice looking setup BoomerB. :clap::clap:

thanx GW.

It's been a long journey to get to this point. The shed has been getting dialed in for a year now. I've had some good and not so good results due to the Bell Curve, but I'm getting there. Broken the budget so many times due to being in the shed and watching the girls grow and getting thoughts and ideas on how to improve the grow.

Yeah, I'm getting there, one grow at a time.

my name is boomerb,
the only male in da' shed,,,,,,

Hey All,

Fellow scrogger here! :clap:

Matter of fact, 7 months ago when I was trying to figure out if I should go SOG or ScrOG, it was Woodsman's journal that clarified the issue for me (;-))

My laptop is current dead (:cry:) so I don't have any pics to put up yet as I'm on my friend's :-x

I run a perpetual scrog with a new plant going under flower every month. I only run 2 plants at a time (:roll:) but I pull between 6.5 to 7 oz per plant (:shock:).

I use coco as a medium in a hempy-style bucket with just a single 400w HPS in the flower chamber. I use a bunch of puny cfls for veg (limited finances for MH and better HPS light) and sadly have to veg for close to 2 months.

I top the hell outta my plants while they're in veg. The moment a branch hits a certain height, it gets topped to add more bud sites at the appropriate height. I've found great success focusing on keeping all of my tops within the "flowering box" of my 400wHPS and find that I get consistent results with very minimal effort (and competence...:dunce:) in all other areas of my grows. Anything below my flower box, typically anything below the screen, gets cut off to focus all growth within that 15" vertical space.

Nutes are Canna Coco A/B, Canna PK 13/14, Fox Farm Tiger Bloom, and Gravity.

Sorry for the lack of pics but I just wanted to post so that I'm scribed and give a quickie rundown of what my scrog looks like.

Great scrogs everyone! :mrgreen:
