Noob here I’m planning on taking the scrog route since I’m limited on grow space especially height (6x4x5). But the 4 way explanations have been the easiest for me to understand
Do u kno how to mainline a plant? It seems thats what most of the qualified scroggers on this thread do. Most scrogs ive seen dont seem to b done this way, but these guys seem to kno wat theyre talkn bout. And ive done mainline for yrs and love it! Although it cld get tight n that amount of space.

What i was trying to say, there is no answer like "attach the screen in veg, and flower when 60% of screen is full" or "at day 5 of flower" as each set up is different then another. there are only rough guide lines.

my goal is that the productive zone\layer of buds will start at the acreen and up, so i can lollipop everything under the screen. and the screen will support the branches.
my plant are 40cm apart, so if i set the screen at 4-7 day of flower, i can still use it to pull the branches to where i want them, there is alot of grow after that to fill the screen, and all the buds will be above the screen.

If i would wait with flower until the screen is half full, there would be so much more grow after that, and the productive layer will be much higher than the screen. so i am wasting time and ther will be alot o

so i think one should aim to that target, and flower at the time he thinks the plants will end up like that

i don't top my plants at all, and only use some LST and later the screen to play with them.
i grow from clones, and i only veg for 8-15 days.

in my last grow the flower was delayed, and the plants 'escaped' up too much.
it was still good yield, and i used the screen to support the branches.
i have some pics from my old grow, it's is a good example of good screen in my opinion.

Not sure of the difference still trying to gain knowledge think I’m going to become proficient with what I have understood (the horizontal 4way scrog) then explore, just trying to get some weight under my belt. Starting my growroom build out this weekend

I have a 2x2x3 tent... If I wanted to scrog in there, how many plants should I grow in there? And what size pots should I use?

Well, 3ft is vert short. I was worried bout u not being able to fit the light and plants. Depends how ur growing, what media etc. For example, a 3 gal pot is about 12in high, leaving u only 2 ft for the plant minus the thickness of the light fixture. Not much room.

I would quote heisengrow , kamikaza or one of the more experienced scroggers on this thread, then ask the queztion. Theyre very knowledgeable and friendly. This will draw their attention to ur question. Peace brotha

I love when people say that I can't do something... Its makes me want to do it even more just to prove that it can be done... I guess I'll just have to see just how much I can get out of there from 2 plants in1gal pots...

I'm just saying you could split one plant enough to pack that tent completely full
