Scrog grow, need help!

Ok so i've been wanting to grow about 8 or 9 plants indoors but have been having trouble with height access, so i figured scrog woudl be the best and woudl also be stealth. I understand the concept of using the screen to spread the buds out over a wide area but i am not sure what size box i would need to grow 8 or 9 plants in this scrog set up. Also, would a 400watt hps bulb still be the best way to go?

I want to make this a really good one so i can jump right into this without problems, once i start the project there will be pics.

Thanks for the helpp

with scrog, u want to use less plants. if u wanted to scrog 8 plants you'd need a huge room, because obviously the plants all grow horizontally instead of vertically. scrog is better with only a few plants spread out everywhere.

ive got 7 plants under a 600w and im tying down all the branches, kind of like scrog but without a screen. so the canopy is all the same. theyre in a baby crib and its gettin cramped for space. theyre only 3 weeks flowering and i know theyre gonna gro a lot more so im thinkin im gonna need more room

true, you dont need that many plants if you use a screen... they will expand to fill the area, they will use every bit of light you give them...

i have a 2.5' x 7' screen that i fill with 6 plants under 2KW...

the more light you have the better - everyone is aiming at 50watts/sq ft... but i think i am close to 100watts/sq ft at the screen... you'll know how bright you want it to be once you see how the buds react to the brightest light... here are a couple pics of my setup







if you get the screen to work right, you will LOVE it... i dont think i'll ever do an indoor grow without one again.

wow gorgeous flix!! what was ur average dry weight per plant using scrog method?

about 5.3 oz avg dried... thats doing 6 plants. but i'm pretty conviced i could get the same overall results with 3 plants... they expand to fill the area, 6 plants end up fighting with each other...

also, that last pic is dutch passion blueberry

wait, you mean 5.3 oz for the whole thing? or per plant? and youre running 2 1000w hps over them or what?

thats per plant... although i dont think i've ever hit a "home run" with this system yet, i change it every time... i should be able to get about 2.5 lbs, but i would say i get about 1.5... i never precicely weigh it, but i jar it up into 1 oz jars, and i get about 1.5 lbs of really nice bud... lots of it i throw into a big bowl and use for baking lots of popcorn nugs i dont want to manicure.

wow that is a great yield man i dont think i've heard of that much weight coming off of only 6 plants. What size box are you growing in?

its a closet under the staircase in my house... its a split level type house so i have some extra room in there... the screen helps with the yield... so does 2KW - which is way overkill, and i estimate 60% brighter than anywhere on earth at high noon

the screen i have is 2.5' x 7' so thats the size of canopy i get... i cant make it any wider or i cant fit in the room - lol...

i just started flowering this week - a new batch of blueberries... most of the yield on this one will be coming from 2 monster plants... they each have their own container... i use feminised beans because i dont have room for mothers & clones, i put in 7 beans this time and 5 of them are tiny ass runts, and 2 of them are friggin huge... litterally at 3 weeks veg - i had 2 plants that were each 4 or 5x bigger than the biggest of the other 5... i have 3 ebb/flow containers, and i put all of the "duds" in the middle, they are going to get choked out by the 2 big ones who are already in the screen and reaching over the middle container but thats a gooood thing..

This is an 7 plant scrog I veged for 4 months also LST was used

how can u stand to veg that long? its suchhhhhh a long time before u can harvest!

well yeah but im probibly going to get about 2 pounds out of the deal. Thats my long grow, I have a ebb flow sog that only did three week veg
