No, it's not a primitive urinal. I had no choice but to set the screen lower than I'd prefer which made it impossible to top-feed this hand-watered ebb and flow set up in the traditional way. So, I gathered some bits and pieces of PVC that I had kicking around and this is what I came up with.

Hi,

I am Growing for Years but never try a Scrog Grow, I love to try it out in the next 14 days when my Autos are Big enough.

My questions:

1. Can i Scrog Autoflower Plants?
2. Is Topping necessary?
3. Can i make my own Scrog net made with bamboo sticks?

Size i have 80x80x160cm. My Plan is to Grow 3 Plants in that Scrog area in Coco under leds

What’s the life span of them? Like start to finish..... 70+days you can get away with one topping under70 days I wouldn’t do it..... just bend that lil sexy moma over at a 90 and tie her down as the branches grow tie them out as well....no rhyme or reason just so their spaced out

I do a lot of lst and Topping etc but never Scrog. Topping Autos is possible with a superior start but maybe not necessary in Scrog?

Scrogging Ruderalis Poly Hybrids- Aka Autoflower

Depending on the timeframe a particular cultivar or phenotype begins flower, it can be accomplished.

Ideally, training ends with flowering.

Yep, you understand scroging? If you want fast turn over use SOG, don;t have to train them. But if the pigs are on your arse, keep your numbers low, and thats where scrog comes in
20,000 sqft of commercially licensed recreational grow facility here, indoor and outdoor, unlimited plant count, and we ARE scroggers!

I.e. if the plant begins flowering, training should end as well. That's the rule of thumb that could prevent you from scrog training some autoflowering plants.
Those plants that have a bit of time before flowering, give opportunity to manipulate the structure and train into a screen.

Special Report:

This thread fills with ladies and gentleman that are interested in learning. Many first time scrog journals are presented, and it often appears that the majority of folks trellising are at beginner stages of cultivating cannabis. While this may be true for the thread, I want to make it clear that theough my time with cultivating cannabis and guiding others, I have seen the industry shift into the vast majority of commercial grow operations utilizing trellising in one way or another. As time goes, those who learn Scrog methodology typically move on in their lives and look back less at the places where their education began. Posting platforms have advanced and social media platforms take the main stage.
I want to remind you all that the skills, techniques, methodologies, technologies, and experiences shared here are what you will take with you. What your return however, is up to you.
If you find yourself successful in learning and applying the knowledge of a Scrogger, feel free to drop in and make note. Drop a few pics of the scrogger life, and let us know.
Thanks to all of you who have returned over the years, and to those whom contribute while already successful and full of knowledge. Your contributions expand the knowledge of your own community, and further the advancement of the understanding of cannabis and cultivation.

Thank you!

Without Topping?

Without Topping?
The best rule of thumb for scrogging photoperiod plants applies to all cannabis. The more you know the cultivar or phenotype, the more likely you will be successful at timing. For autoflowering types, knowing how long you have before onset of flowering dictates your ability to train regardless of technique. Topping requires healing time and shifts the structure away from apical dominance that some require to produce adequately however, if the plant type is known initially, single cola dominant cultivars are less likely to be chosen to be scrogged. Regardless of the outcome, it CAN be done. To be more successful with scrogging than untrained depends on the goal of the grower. Get to know your plants, and plan accordingly.

I currently run a ruderalis hybrid commercially. I bred the plant, and have been with it for about 15 years. I have scrogged it many times, however in the commercial runs training the plant is not beneficial to me. The reason is that I dont breed out variations that are single cola dominant (some are the most potent in this strain), and would be diminishing the plants potential by inhibiting growth during a set timeframe of cycle. Additionally, the plants begin flowering about the third or fourth week of life, which translates to meaning that training would diminish overall harvest.

Not all cultivars scrog well. Just because I am a scrogger doesnt mean I train all plants. I do however, know which ones to train and not, why, and when.

Grow on Scroggers!
Yes you can scrog an autoflowering plant, just beware those you shouldn't, wont like it as much.
