BigBudE what size is your set up? what lighting?
Most folks use the screen to help train. In those instances, sturdy mesh such as that made from wire is probably best suited. If your simply looking for a support system for a large scale grow, I wouldn't shy from the larger mesh but do keep in mind that unless each branch/top is 7 inches in diameter it only gains support from one side of the hole by leaning and that's space wasted in most cases. OR your colas are that big around....? if so, we certainly need you to post!

Hey Rollitup! This is my first post and also my first crack at a SCroG setup!
My system:
6'3"X6'3"X6'3" Mylar lined Tent
4 (or 6) bucket rDWC system
1000w ballast
Reflector/Hood...
Vented by a 6" inline duct fan w/ Carbon filter
5'X4' screen with 2"X2" holes. (this is adjustable depending on your suggestions)
Planning on using Lucas Formula ( Micro and Bloom)
The part of this system that I am most excited about is the use of the SCroG method as I hear it is a great way to maximize yields. So far all of this exists in my brain lol, though I am attempting to remedy that. I was just wondering:
Does my setup sounds like a system conducive to the SCroG method?
Should I use 4 or 6 plants based on the size of my screen? If I used 4 plants, each one would have 5sq.ft to fill (sounds like a lot to me). If I used 6 plants, each would have roughly 3.3sq.ft to fill up. I was planning on vegging 4 weeks from seed, maybe even 5.
Initially I was planning on FIMing my plants once, maybe twice. Have people used this tactic before in conjunction with a SCroG? Is this a good idea?
If I do everything correctly (or close to correctly) would I be able to pull around a LB off this? (yes I understand that is a shit question lol).
Also I still need to decide what strain I want to fill the screen with, if anybody has personal experience and could offer some advice on their favorite screen filling strains that would be so so helpful!
Anyones advice is appreciated!
PEACE AND LOVE

I have a 4ft wide x 8ft long x 7ft tall grow tent. My lighting is A 600 watt HPS/MH (ellectric ballast) and a 4ft 54 watt 8 bulb T5 setup that supposedly puts out 3800 lumens per bulb and a 3ft 54watt 6 bulb T5 setup. Its fairly bright in there for sure. Hopefully ittl be enough light

I recently posted some pic's of how i have the lights in the grow room design section. I would re-post them here but I already deleted the pics from my computer.

Check out Scottyballs grow with one DWC. 11oz!!
On for the strain I can't help you on that but these guys here will have good advice I imagine whatever strain you like you could scrog it.

I'm just starting my first scrog I have a 4x3 screen 1000 w light six plants in 3g pots I was wondering how high to I put the screen from the top of the pots

screen seems a little small for a 1000w. about 12" or so but really depends on setup.
Im trying out the organic thing with the SLH and there in 7gal pots, The size of your pots shouldnt effect a SCROG should it? Sorry for the dumb questions but Ive never really scrogged before. Ive always just let them do there own thing with the exceptional fimming and topping now and then. Another stupid question, SCROGing with a sativa, does 18" above for the screen sound right or should I stick with the 12" someguy15 recomends? The height to put the screen, does it vary between indica and sativa?
Thanks again

I keep the screen as low as possible and still be able to work/clean under it (about 12"). My preference for a lower screen allows me to fill and flower faster as well as work within the height restrictions of my cabinet. ScroG is all about optimizing within your space/conditions, there was a related post a few pages back in this thread. 7 gallon pots should be fine, I usually allow 3 gallons/plant as a minimum in hydro.
Thanks, I appreciate it.

Number each plant and clone it and number those clones to the parent. Then flower the clones almost immediately and that should tell you the sex of the parents. Im not sure if thats one of the things you were wanting to know, but just trying to help. As far as how to control the size thats better left to someone besides me.

View attachment 1224122View attachment 1224121View attachment 1224120View attachment 1224119thought i shared some pics of my first medical grow, which actually was a SCROG setup.......the setup was inside a cabinet w/ the dim. of 16in width and 28inches length....strains were Special Kush and the other Crimea Blue.. Both in 3 gallon pots...ALL ORGANIC..Vegged until most of the screen was filled w/ bud sites...Vegged with cfls 3 42watt and switched to 250hps for flowerin...total dried yield was only 3 1/2 zips........Was hoping for more....Lots of things i could of done better...im still learning....

Nice Catfish,
Thanks for the post buddy, nice. How long did this one take you from A - Z? Total grow time?

You did an awesome job, especially for a first grow. It's hard to get over an oz per square foot and you did. You would probably need to go hydro to get more than what you did.

still looked very nice, very good uniform growth throughout...

That looks pretty damn good to me 3 1/2 bags out of 2 plants in 3 gal pots thats nothing to be down on yourself about at all. Making my mouth water just looking at it. Wich did you like better the Special Kush or the Crimea Blue? Is there a difference in the effect/buzz between the 2?
