When to stop scrogging?

I have 3 of my 6 Super Silver Haze plants in a screen of green. I will switch them over to the budding phase in 2 days. How long into the budding phase does it pay to continue spreading the canopy via scrogging?

Thanks!

The first week or so of flower (all strains differ) most strains stretch, scroggers use this time to fill any remaining space in the screen but also to keep from having tall towering stretchy colas, and an even canopy. The stretch however can also be useful depending on what goals you are trying to accomplish with screening, or what environmental conditions you may be juggling etc. Space between colas and bud sites helps with air movement and keeps down "the issues associated" ie. molds/mildew.

Learning the plant always helps. GL.

I have not run SSH but do run Amnesia Haze a very close relative. I also scrog. First time through with a strain is tricky til you get to know her. Sativa dom I would personally flip when the screen was 60-70% full. The stretch could last 2-3 weeks. I waited too long to flip my Kali Mist. Its big branches are growing outside the screen and had to be tied back to the screen frame.

I tend to grow indica dom's and flip at 80% coverage, then stop training about 2 weeks after that.

^^^ in cases where colas grow tall and lean or the plant out grows your frame, using a secondary (larger mesh openings; 6" works well with most plant types ie. nylon horti trellis) helps keep things in order and vertically positioned. I build pvc pods now a days, and always leave a fitting that will allow a second frame to be attached. A 4' frame ends up with a 5' trellis. Then when the horti trellis is being added, it is layed on with overlap so that the extra hanging over the frame can be attacted to the lower frame "caging" the canopy. With the larger size mesh, and only 4' max frame size, reaching in is not an issue. The "cage" design if effective at cradling the loose branches.

Then to jazz it up even more I plumb the upper frame with a line for injecting CO2. The frame has holes at the cannopy but is all sealed below making the perfect CO2 halo. I am working on a fog system now, that will emit from the upper frame too.

Enjoy.
