Help with SCROG

Hi all, I just had one question. I was wondering what size gallon pot I could possibly use in a SCROG method. My dimensions are 2x1x3 (LWH). I want to grow 2 plants since they only need 1 square foot of space each.

My 150 watt HID light will be either 5 3/4" or 7 1/4" in height (still have not decided which one I want). I'm guesstimating I have maybe a foot of grow space; so could I get away with 2 1-gallon pots? BC I believe the rule of thumb is 1 gallon per vertical height. IDK if this applies to SCROG


Thanks for the help

Just use the largest pot that you can fit into your space.

I'd maybe think about doing two plants in a 2'x1' rubbermaid type container (put in a divider if you want, drill some drainage, use the lid as a catcher), top the growth tips two times, and LST it just a bit if needed to help fill any horizontal space. Should be fairly easy to do before they grow much vertically. SCROG would work, I just think it would be a complete PITA in such a confined vertical space for little gain.

I've heard a lot about SCROG, thats why I want to try it. I was going to FIM it in addition to SCROG. Anyways, would a 1'x1'x6" pot work? I know it's not much vertical space and more horizontal space. Anyways, would that work?

People do grows in party cups - it will work if the plants are kept small enough. By the way, I think some 5 gallon and most 10 gallon disposable square grow bags are approximately 12"x12" - you could just cut them down to the desired height with some scissors and it would maximize the 1'x2' area as opposed to using circular pots/buckets.

grow bags work awesome in tight spaces. If you are in tight quarters why do the FIM?

jesus of Cannabis- To make it bushier and shorter as opposed to taller. Or is this wrong?

Thanks for the idea TaoWolf
