Introduction to ScrOG (Screen of Green)
"ScrOG" has become a term used for the "Screen of Green" cannabis training technique.
The purpose behind Scrogging is to manually change that by putting all the bud on an even layer by bringing the low stuff up (by getting screen good and low) and bringing the main cola down (by oping it via topping), to the canopy.
The rough pics below illustrate my point. Group A - Scrog Examples This diagram shows the structure of a proper
ScrOG These plants have all been scrogged
Group B - These are NOT Scrog! This diagram shows the common structure of cannabis plants under screens which have not been properly scrogged. The following picture has a beautiful under current, but this is not a Scrog. Skeletal support at best, but again, not an example of a real
Scrog.
Now to break down the main cola and get the plant growing horizontally, I suggest trying my 4-way LST and ScrOG setup
method...
Overview of ScrOG Process
Scrogging, or screen of green, is a form of LST (low stress training) where the main goal is to maximize the footprint of your light. With standard, Christmas
tree style plants, you can only lower the light until it’s close enough to the top cola. ANY bud from there down is getting less light. With a traditional setup, the lower each bud is on the plant, the less light those buds get.
The scrog process is done by dividing, or breaking down the main cola, in conjunction with raising all the lower bud up to
the canopy.
We grow the plant horizontally until we are a few weeks into the Flowering stage.
This is a key point as many attempts at Scrogging turn out to be merely a skeletal support structures for
standard plants, not real Scrogs. A Scrog is when you bring those arms up and run them lengthwise under the screen. All those would-be popcorn buds become real buds because they
become part of the canopy and receive direct light.
Lower buds are brought up to the screen or the screen is lowered, allowing them to become a part of the canopy. This is only a few weeks later, with more than a month left in the flowering
stage
Now that you've learned how Scrogging works, are you ready to start using a screen during your next grow?

medium(deep water culture, bubbleponics)."Growing cannabis is a relaxing hobby in and of itself, but it also saves you money and keeps you from having to deal with shady
characters. Cannabis is much easier to grow than people give it credit for, and growing in water doesn't increase the difficulty much, if any. But whether you want to grow in water, perlite, or a different medium, we'll show you how easy it can be!"
Trophy Pictures of the Week!

I thought I would share some pics of my Nirvana Bubblelicious grow before I take them down on Saturday.
These are 5 plants growing in a soilless mix. They are in a 2.5' x 5' tent in a former cold room under my stairs. Because of the inability to vent heat outside, I was
restricted to using an array of nine Sunblaster T5 HO Tubes as well as an
array of eight Sunblaster CFL Bulbs set above the plants. and in the corners.
As for the plants themselves, they were very vigorous once they kicked in and forgiving when dummy me singed them with nutrients. Due to the fact I was using lower powered lights, I decided to SCROG for maximum efficiency. These plants were difficult to SCROG due to their stiff and sturdy nature. I lost one main cola trying bend her to my will.
Saturday will be 64 days of flower and they are just finishing. It looks like it might be a decent crop.
I would like to thank you guys, as you were the primary source of my research. Your straight forward and no bullshit approach to growing allows first grow newbies
such as myself to give it a go at the tender age of 62.
Sincerely, HerbieHaze |
