This is my first ScrOG of amnesia lemon and jack diesel both 70/30 sativa dominant. Everything going well so far all 9 plants just reaching screen some just gone through and pulled back under after 4 weeks veg(FIMmed after 2 weeks) 4 x 4 screen 12'' above pots 600w hps veg and flower Looking for advice on when to switch to 12/12 in order to fill screen but not over fill, anyone with scrog experience of sativa dominant strains please reply!Thinking sometime this week??Pics in my journal Day 29 Thanks
So they're already a foot tall? What's your total clearance? With the 600hps, your ceiling should be at least 6' from the floor. You probably did a good thing by not waiting any longer.
Yeah good thing you flipped. 3 weeks is plenty for a sativa beast. I'm about to scrog. Imma read your journal
I veg my plants under a 400W MH, then put them into a flower room with multiple 600W HPS and the screen. My screen is about 8 inches above the rim of the pots. I let them go until the screen is about 3/4 to 7/8 full, then flip. I wait about 2-3 weeks and then stop training them under the screen. I like to pull back the grow tips a bit (especially if I let them go until the screen is about 7/8 full), and put the wee cola/grow tips up through a hole in the screen. I'm still experimenting with the pull back method. Hopefully I'll have a diary up in a month or so with loads of pictures. So in essence, I don't use a time frame on when to flip. I wait until my screen is about full.
Depends on the sativa or the sativa hybrid. Some will try to take over, others are a bit more peaceful. It helps to have grown out a particular strain a few times in a SCRoG. Practice makes perfect!
