Enter The Scrog/Scroggers United Post Page

Done properly and with 1000 watts of penetration the popcorn buds should not be an issue,,,,,,,,

scrogged properly

If yer screen is too high you have some trimming to do.

The proper height and it's all beautiful buddage above the screen.

Boomer, I think your room is a bit small to grow! You sure you can fit any plants in there?

Yeah, i'll slip a few in shortly.

Just got back after spending the day tweaking this and that.

I think I'm finally done.

I'll update my journal after a meal, i'm starving.

https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/427429-cab-800w-og-18-r.html my cab scrog. just posted.

Found this thread last night - fantastic, learned alot. This will be my first inside grow and first scrog. Trainwreck and Dream Queen (Green Crack) in the 4x6 wrack. with a large adjust a wing and 1000w HSP Lumatek on a light mover. 2 White Widow an OG Kush and a Super Silver Haze in the 40"x40"wrack, medium ajw 600w hps. Roots organic soil, 5 gal smart pots, Earth Juice and hygrozome nutrients.
All the plants were a good 20" so I had to bend them over and stretch them out along the screen.. Started with 6 in the 4x6 then removed 2 in the middle. Figuring both the DQ and TR are super stretchy and I didn't want to over fill the screen.
Didn't take into consideration how tight the room and how big I am. Its been a real struggle moving around the tight space. A bigger room next time with everything well off the ground. Getting too old for all this bending over and twisting around. AN automatic watering/feeding system that I installed today should help.
I'm planning on going 12/12 in a week.
Sorry photos aren't in any kind of order. #1 TR; #2 when I first layed them out under the screen a week or swo ago; #3 TR and DQ in the back ground; #4 my 7' high, 14x 6' room; #5 DQ on right TR on left; #6 small rack #7 my feet and TR.
Hoping TR doesn't get out of hand.
Thanks to everyone contributing to this thread.

dorje, NICELY done.

Get that first indoor grow under yer belt and you'll be ready to improve yer room. And from the looks of it ya did a good job for the space you have,
I like the walls. I feel ya on needing more space. One of the things that drove me to design the Labs. Lots of working room.

But again, nicely done.

Thanks Boomer.
Noticed I fried a few shoots last night so raised the lights. I try to keep the temp below 85; but the FCs varry widely. The Adj wings have a hot spot under the outer trailing edge and not under the bulb, unlike most reflectors I guess. On the 1000 watter I hope the light mover will take care of that. The fcs are about 6000 at that spot, under the bulb 3500 which is now 24" above the canopy. About the same for the 600, but its 20" above the canopy. I've tried the super spreaders. Damned if I can get a light pattern anything like the claims. I end up with a 4000 fc difference between under the bulb and the edge, without I get a 2500 fc difference or less.
The dream queen and trainwreck are taking off so I think I need to switch to 12/12 soon; the white widows on the other screen are a little slow pokey. Will stick to fewer strains next time. But if the screens don't fill I can add a grand daddy purp or purple kush.

something im considering doing next hydro run... 3 ft diameter screen @ 3 ft long hanging horizontally with a 600 maybe 2 in a cool tube inside. This would be hung over my rdwc system with 4 plants... I can actually add another foot to the diameter if need be.
Any thoughts?

Hey guys, I'm starting my first scrog any day now. ( waiting on germination), my box is 4ft tall by 4ft wide, by only 16 inches deep. I'm using a 250 watt cfl grow bulb and plenty of other cfl's and side flourescents. I have everything ready to go, I'm gonna be using 5 gallon smart pots for the first time. My question is, has anyone had any experience doing a scrog in a box my size? I'm kinda concerned about the heighth of the net. Everyone has a different answer ya know! I plan on only growing one plant in there, a northern light feminized. the box is 4ft wide and tall but the net is like 3 and a half. And I need room of course for the lights and reflector. I've got enough room but I'm wondering if I should keep the screen a little lower for my first scrog to get the bugs worked out a bit. I've done plenty of reading on the subject but I still can't seem to figure out the best heighth for my situation. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hey bud,

I am growing one plant in a 5 gallon pot in a grow box. My dimensions are like 2 1/2 feet wide, 19 inch deep and 4 feet tall. So we are in a similar situation. I set my SCROG screen 13 inches above the pot itself. This is also my first SCROG and things are working out for me. Check out my grow, it is in my signature. Anyways, I am using LEDs so we both dont really have the heat issues associated with the HID bulbs. Anyways, hope that helped.

View attachment 1573940What up scroggers?
I'm on my first grow with 6 plants in a cab, 250w HPS. My grow space is 3.1ft x 1.8ft and it's getting crowded. I cant let the plants grow taller than 3.5 ft. They're vegging for 3.5 weeks now and I was advised scrog is the way to go, so I'll be fixing the screen today and soon switch to 12/12.
My question is would it be advisable to keep all 6 plants or should I get rid of one or two plants?
Also you see the net screen I bought in the picture, couldnt get a better one. I think its made of plastic and the squares are 4.8x4.8inch. Will this do?

WhoDat - Vertical SCROG's are the shit so you should go for it if you have the room.



Just dropping in to show what I have going.


Bloom Day 2

Bloom Day 5

View attachment 1574637



Today is Bloom Day 7 and they are sleeping, but will perk up at lights on.
I'll post a lights on pic a little later.
You'll be surprised at how much they stand at attention.

View attachment 1574643


I might also let them grow a little more before training again, which has been daily since Bloom started.



Now with lights on.

View attachment 1574760



I will have to go in later tonight and train some more.
Have some holes in the middle and around the outside to fill.
The front right corner is for the 2 DPD that are/were slower to veg.

Fellow Scroggers. I need the best. I need a partner. I would like to formally invite someone to join forces with me and start something new and big here in Alaska. I am talking soon, completly legal and designed for Alaska Medical Marijuana Patients only. This will change the state, give the ability to patients to reasonably access necessities, and create a window for more opportunities in the future. I am only here in Anchorage for a week or two to meet and will be getting spinal sugury this Friday. Medical Marijuana Patients Only.

Flo, your screen is green!

HAHA - Still waiting to see how this turn out. and again cannot +rep.

I missed a spot.

+REP SVT !

But as beautiful as that is, it's not SCROG but instead SOG from the looks of those 4 inch holes !
Don't see them trained under or weaved through the netting.

ahhhh, but it is a scrog. I'll take some pic's later of the underside. There is a lot of weaving going on, it's hard to see but there are two layers of screen. The layer that you see is for support.

Ya thanks for the info. yours is looking good man! Right now I have the screen fixed about 12 inches above the pot, so I'll just stick with that then. My seed just sprouted today so I'll be scroggin in no time!
