SCROG in large area?

[acidphiend]

Hi peepz.

 

I've got 2 3x2m rooms that I will be flowering in (DWC) and was wondering if there's any point in growing SCROG style, or if trees will be just as productive? There's about 7 foot to the ceiling, so height isn't too much of an issue. Lights will be horizontally mounted, 2400W per room, and was hoping for 12 plants per room. Does this sound about right, or am I cramping them a bit much? Strain will be Celtic Stone, if that helps. If I was to scrog, it would be like the tutorial with a screen integrated into each bucket, so it wouldn't be too much trouble moving plants to get to each one... What do you guys think?

 

Cheers for the help!

g'day acidphiend

 

i dont see why a large area scrog wont work...

 

but for my 2 cents, i think you have hit the nail on the head. i reckon having the screen attached to the bucket rather than the walls of the room is the way to go.

 

this makes the plants moveable for maintenance without too much bother. whereas if the screen is attached to the room, the plants are locked in to the space once they have grown through the screen a bit.

 

give it a whirl mate, and take lots of pics

hey acidphiend, sounds like a bigish setup. (photo's)

 

go half/half, one room scrog and the other christmas tree style, do a tute on it for all to know.

keen to see how it goes. jags intergrated screens are pretty sick. check them out if you haven't yet!

and like jag said lots of photo's.

I agree ,

A comparison if you have the space and the means to do so would be excellent.

I understand if Its not feasible tho.

Go the ScroG , It'll be good to have a few people Scrogging at the same time , sharing is good.

 

Good luck with whatever you decide to do Acidphiend.

Hey guys thanks for the replies!

 

Yeah, I will definately do a comparison grow first time round - one side trees, the other with independent SCROG screens on each bucket. Will be a coupla months before its up and running, just working out the logistics of it first.

 

Cheers for the advice folks!

scrog in big rooms works a treat. i've done 2.2 x 2.2 mt scrog and 2.7 x 2.2 mt scrog.

 

i dont scrog the whole room into the walls. i leave a foot around the whole perimeter. and have posts on all 4 corners and in the middle of each side and the centre of the room. and run the plastic nets from these poles. that way i can access around the big area to train the tops to cover the whole screen in a nice flat spread before goinig 12/12. scrog will beat trees in this way in my experience.

 

in terms of how many plants. the main difference ive found is teh more plants u have the less time you need to veg to fill the screen. this is the key, you want ot have the screen full to max potential. ive tried 12 vs 6 plants in the same 2.2 x 2.2 area. get the same yield in both scenarios provided the screen is full. only difference is it takes longer to fill with 6 of course.

 

good luck.
