I have read 1' but not sure if that's 1' above the canopy or one foot above the tallest plant which is 1' foot tall at the moment, just started flowering today is day one.

Yes, it should be 1 foot above the medium. You want to start training those branches outward from the mainstem when they reach the screen, by looping them under/over the screen. When the screen is half full, change the lights.

Potroast not sure what you mean by changing the lights, also should i be trimming the lower branches? I have 16 plants in a 4X4 tray, i was going to cover the 4X4 area with a volleyball net as a screen, but i have seen a few Scrog pics on here and in some cases it looks like one or two plants can fill a 4X4 screen. So i am thinking this may not work out for me, to many plants to do this?

I did a scrog and put my screnn right on top of the containers. I then tied the branches down to the screen as they grew. I was LSTing them from early clone stage. Didn't have to trim off any branches and they all made good buds. Pic attached.

Well 16 plants is to many in a 4x4 area. Try about 9 or 10 plants. You will get more weed. I use a 4x4 area as well with a 1000 watter. I will try to post a picture.

Yeah, a SCROG is done with the screen within a foot of the plant base, and the branches are spread outward. With 1 plant per sqft, you don't need to spread them out. What you will end up doing is put up some support netting, for the plants to grow through, and will hold them up when they bud.

Change the light means to switch from 18/6 to 12/12, and induce flowering.

No, you want the screen as low as possible, because what is below the screen is wasted. My screen was 10 inches above. You need 2-inch chicken wire to be able to pass the branches through.
