If leaf growth is excessive, one should first cut the finger in half making a shorter leaf and allowing light to get to the bud site. As the tops grow vertically, push the large fan leaves down under the screen, allowing the light to get to all the developing bud sites. They always grow the tallest, and we want the tallest to be on the perimeter of the screen. One should always train the main growing tops to the outside of the screen. At this point you let the tops grow vertically through the screen. The plants are trained to grow horizontally under the screen until they are 2 weeks into the flowering cycle. This method also takes anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks longer per grow because we will be in a vegetative stage longer than a SOG grow. One should allow at least 1 square foot per flowering plant in a ScrOG grow.
It does not take as many plants for ScrOG grow as compared to SOG. This is why we use female clones for SOG and ScrOG grows. The light should be hung by chains and adjustable so that one can raise it if needed.Ĭlones are used again like in SOG style, because we do not want a hole in the canopy were a male was removed. This height varies from 8” to 24” depending on the size light used to grow with. The screen is at a set height above the plant medium. The screen is simply 2” chicken wire, or 2” nylon poultry fencing, or one can use hooks and 20 lb. This is like a SOG (Sea of Green) grow, but a screen is used to train the plant to grow horizontally creating a canopy of buds beneath the light. This should help you understand more about the ScrOG method and what people have learned with this new technique. He has added a bit to the ScrOG method through his experience with the process. RealHigh is a ScrOG lover and has been growing ScrOG style for some years. Some people even grow top colas that are the size of soda bottles or large corncobs! Now with the HID lights they can really push their buds to the limit. The veteran fluorescent user would line the roof of the shelf or the box with fluorescent tubes to try and get the most out of their grow with this method. Today’s growers, since HID’s came along, using a 600 watt HID bulb have literally taken these set-ups to a new level. SOG and ScrOG’s were originally set-up to get the most out of poor quality fluorescent lights. They all still contain the same principles. There are many variations of the above two methods. The top colas and side branches are all trained under the screen. As the plants grow up through the wire mesh they are trained and worked around the netting to form a very even canopy. The plants are not flowered until as such time as they have covered the entire mesh with green. Again clones from a female plant are used like in the SOG method, but we allow at least 1 square foot per flowering plant in the ScrOG method. This screen is simply a large wire mesh put between your light and the plants. This is like a SOG (Sea of Green) grow except fewer plants are used in conjunction with a screen to fill the grow area out with heavy top colas, hence its name – ScrOG (Screen of Green).
