Hi wiggely!
Thanks for the advice!
But isn't SCROG exactly like LST with the exception of the screen?
It doesn't matter how you force them to grow horizontally right?
Right???

Well technically its a type of "low stress training". but in reference to this sites two very informative stickies, one entitled "LST" and the other "SCROG", the SCROG method has its advantages
Both methods from the two stickies work great, getting the plant to grow horizontal. but because of the screen in the SCROG method, all of the tops on the plants end up being the same height. when one just ties the main stem and side branches down the plant grows horizontal and produces more tops but these tops wont be of the same height. The screen method allows for shorter tops to catch up in growth while keeping all the other tops at the same height (the height of the screen). this of course allows for more buds to get more light, resulting in a greater harvest.
Thats the theory at least.
