When to Start Scrog Cannabis: A Comprehensive Guide

Choose the Right Strain

  • Indoor strains that respond well to topping and super cropping are ideal.
  • Look for varieties with a strong central cola and good side branching.

Prepare Your Grow Space

  • Position your plants so they can reach the screen without touching it.
  • Use grow lights that provide full spectrum coverage.

Set Up the Screen

  • Select a mesh screen with a size that allows plants to grow through easily.
  • Suspend the screen about 6-8 inches above the canopy.

Training Your Plants

Regularly tie down branches to the screen and prune away unnecessary growth to encourage the canopy to spread.
