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.
Optimizing Your SCROG Setup
Maintain proper humidity, temperature, and nutrient levels for the best results. Adjust your training and lighting as needed.
