yes .hi guys im a new member and im slowly working my way through the pages on the forum some very usefull stuff on here!!! im considering doing my 1st scrog grow and have a few questions, how much added veg time is there growing this way? do you have to top or can you get away without it? an also how many plants would i scrog under a 600w? usually i do 10-12 in pots under a 600w clones go straight on 12/12 once in there, this gives me an 8-9wk turnaround and get 14-15oz could i expect much of an increase vs the extra veg time?
cheers DD
Do any of you have any experience with training your plant in veg (topping, FIMing, Supercropping) for numerous tops, flipping to 12/12 and then after the first 2 week initial stretch is over adding the screen??? Been watching a growers vids on Youtube who does this and his canopies look amazing. I am only asking because all of the info I have gotten so far suggests filling out your screen in veg and then flipping. I've done this on a couple grows and each time the stretch overgrows my SCROG. What are the drawbacks of letting her stretch w/o a screen, supercropping a flatish canopy and then installing the SCROG screen to hold her down. From that point on she should be focused on bud production and not vegitative growth.

what that guy said. also pay attentin to how big you let your plant get. some sativas will tripple in size once in flower. indicas double.A. That's not too much light, but that may be too much heat. How tall is the closet, and are you using an air cooled hood or a spreader? If you're using an air cooled hood, as long as you have a sufficient exhaust system you should be fine, otherwise that 1,000 will fry the shit out of your plants.
B. How many plants you want to use is going to depend on how long you want to veg them for and how much the strain you're going to use is going to stretch. I vegged one plant out for 11 weeks and she got way bigger than I anticipated (Not a bad thing).
C. I have no frame of reference here because I'm only on my first grow, and it's in soil.
I hope I helped a little bit and wish you luck. Happy growing!
give them to me. ill pay shipping. lol.I have a waterfarm 8 pack basically brand new but takes up to much room for me. What should i do with it?

Its some Seedman NL/Indica-80%Sativa-20%,Thanks for the reply man,This forum is a huge asset.Right now Im just trying to get my numbers/measurements down while my cuttings get to the right size.what that guy said. also pay attentin to how big you let your plant get. some sativas will tripple in size once in flower. indicas double.
Thanks alot for the reply man.Im not sure what strains would be good for this method,but the NL was available so I took it. Its a air cooled hood with a 6 inch duct out of a Active Air fan.I dont think the heat inside the area will be a problem.Now keeping my res temp down,That's another story.A. That's not too much light, but that may be too much heat. How tall is the closet, and are you using an air cooled hood or a spreader?
