How long would it take to fill up a screen

I'm using this tent and growing in soil.

My plan is to take clones 1 week before I flower so that I'm sure they root and with that style I plan to perpetuate 4 (2 up top/2 down below) moveable 1.5' x 3' screens. How long would I need to veg to fill those screens from clones?

Are the screens 1.5'x3' per plant ?
In my experience once the plant touches the screen I usually give them almost 2 weeks of training before I switch to 12/12.
BTW, I'm liking clones for this as the side branching seems to develop quicker than plants from seeds.
Just my take.

REally only 2 weeks that's not bad. Yes I'm talking 1 plant per screen and when I kick this off it will be clones. I'm going to be doing a pheno run where I switch them @ 4 weeks and then take clones of my fave and badabum badabing!

After looking at your screen size again I would have to revise my estimate.
I usually have a much denser setup & with your screen size vs one plant I would have to lean more towards 3 to 5 weeks of training time - it is actually easier (and quicker I believe) to run a couple or even several in the same space that most only grow one.
My theory at least.

I think that might work on my behalf. Correct me if I'm wrong but say I have a stretchy sativa so it takes 4 weeks before 12/12. So I got 2 up to I start one let it fill the screen and take a clone of it @ 3 weeks. Let it go one more week so I can be sure the clone took and then throw it in flower all whilst vegging my other screen for 4 weeks and then I throw that one in the flower room so it is exactly 4 weeks behind. The strain I'm growing everyone that has grown it swears by the 55 day mark so that's just about 2 months. So If i fill a screen every month then I could put one in flower every month. This seems to be good news to me. I hope you are right my man and that I'm not just an idiot!

depends how fast your plants grow, and genetics. Blue cheese would be alot easier to fill up on a scrog than hash plant hahaha
