Is anyone Scrogging with separate Veg/Bloom Tents?

I've been interested in getting my Scrog on, but I wasn't sure if I'd be hurting my yields by only topping and LST in Veg, then setting the screen during flip. Kinda hard to screen them, then move them. I may have plants in Bloom at different stages and that won't change. I could maybe make individual screens for each pot, but I'm looking for a little input.

I take metal coat hanger n cut them up to make stakes to pull branches down.
Works good on small plants . Tomato cages for bigger plants .
The cage fits under my screen in flower .

I found new “cages” at the dollar store I’ll be switching out to, instead of a round cage . They r flat n 1 sided. Four per plant to make a cage . A lot easier to use n remove .

I'm talking more a horizontal scrog. I have everything to make plastic tubing frame, 2"x3" garden fence as screening. I had big ones made, but I like to inapect, prune and easily water, and move from veg to bloom, so I never did it. Now I'm thinking individual, but I'm guessing filling the screen preflip is recommended. Screens would be the same type as my mini in the party cup competition.

I planned a scrog with 4 plants in their own individual nets. I soon realised it would have been impossible to get the plants out of the veg tent and into the flower tent, but a big part of that was the limited room I had, not in my tents but the spaces outside the tents as my room kind of fitted together like a tetris game.. It would of also been very difficult to train all 4 plants in veg tent since I could only access 1 side. Might of been possible had I been able to use the rear doors but they were against a wall.

I decided to just scrog one plant in every four and could manage that ok.
For what its worth, If your going to scrog then do it properly and fill the net to around 3/4 before flowering it. Otherwise you may as well scrap the netting and supper crop the shit out of the plants, maybe once in veg and once or twice in flower (after early topping or lsting obviously).

I'm no scrog expert, maybe done 5-6 total but the difference between a plant in a 2x2 screen and a plant not scrogged but supper cropped and staked down, spayed out wasn't huge. I can do an 8oz plant in 2x2 and it could be 9-10oz in a scrog in the same place, although my best was 9.5oz in 1.5ft x2ft.

Flower tent been an 8x4 and veg tent been a 4x4 and having 2 crops staggered with 4 plants each half of my flower tent.

I under stand what your saying about horizontal & my flowering is just that.
I want a even canopy going into flower, you just need to even out the growth . The destination is the same, just a little different route . I’m moving plants around in veg a lot so the typical scog in veg isn’t practical for me .

That's probably a good idea to experiment on one plant out of a group of say 4 clones and see what happens and how much of a pain it is, or how much better it does.

Yeah, I do green twist ties to train em out the way I do it now. And yeah, I've always dodged the traditional scrog, cuz I move shit around a lot. Now if it was one plant units and I could grab the screen frame and it would support and lift the pot and all, it could be a step in the right direction.
