what method will give me more yield?


growing my plants naturally veg till there 2feet and let them flower ?


or


Scroging them, vegging for 6 weeks and letting them flower?


I need help from an experience grower who has experimented with this, the information that you guys provide me with will determine how I do my grow.

What is your light source? That will ultimately make your decision much easier. High power light source like 600-1000watt HPS you would do better from taller plants since those lights penetrate deep into the canopy. Lower powered light sources benefit from Sog or Scrog to get better yield since lower power lights don't penetrate the canopy as well.

hmmmm....that's a huge tent. I'd say keep the plants around 2-2.5feet and just do scrog or top your plant a few times to get more of a bush. This is what I do and I average 4 ounces per plant in a 5 gallon container. If you don't have a plant limit, then you could probably max yield with a SOG setup keeping plants short with just a main cola or two and planting them in 6" or 8" (1-2 gallon)square pots....you'd probably pull 1/2 - 3/4 ounce per plant in SOG setup.

im just wanna grow with 12 plants but i thought you said id be better of not doing scrog and just letting grow naturally because of the high wattage light

Yes it is a high wattage light, but in too big of a space, so still low lumens per square feet. A 1000watt light illuminates a 4' x 4' space nicely.
