LST-SOG combo.

Ide stick with SOG if using 16 plants. LST is just going to make such a bushy mess that half of the foliage will never see the light. Might consider a 9 plant SCROG.

scrog is such a pain in the ass especially in a small growing space like mine.I Think I ll stick to something like 9-10 plants lst'ed in a sog. But still any advice will be appreciated,I really need new opinions on this. Thanks so far though!

I don't think trying to LST 9-10 plants would be any easier/less time consuming than running a SCROG with even fewer plants in that space. I think LST can be more work than SCROG because you have to tie things where as with SCROG you simply tuck (only takes a couple seconds)

Well I will have to transplant my scrogged plants (1 month after vegging) into my flowering room under another screen.If there's a way of getting this done easily,fuck yea I would.
I can setup 2 screens (one in flowering one in vegging tent),but I i dunno how can I manage transferring scrogged plants from 1 tent to another.

Well if you used Airpots you wouldn't have to worry about pulling them out of their pots, you could just unravel/unrap the pot. There would still be some work depending on how you attached the Screen and to what, but it would be easier than with normal pots. If your screen was made out of a textile instead of a metal the plans could hold it up while you transplant. its what I plan on doing.

I'll use nets instead of metal/screens, so when I transplant all I do is unwrap the airpot from around the root mass and then gently put it into its next air pot (the plant should be advanced enough it can hold the textile screen for as long as it takes to get it secured again. The cool thing too about these is if the airpots are differen't enough in size, you could fill the larger one with soil mostly and then place the other pot in and unwrap it with it already in the new pot (then take first air pot out and fill with soil)

That makes a lot of sense ,thanks bro!I think I am down to this plan! Only thing though,do you unwrap the net screen as well and re -install it in it's new place????.Cause you cant really transplant 10 or so plants with the screen on all at once,you ll have to remove the screen one way or another right?

"how you attached the Screen and to what,"

The screen will stand on it's four legs=D it's a classic setup i reckon.

Well I mean if you have to you could cut or untie or whatever around the out edge of the net but the plant should have some of it filled it so the plant can hold most of the net while you transplant. The cheapest way to get airpots in the US a year ago was from growers-inc.com if you are interested.
