I have been debating using the SCROG method in my garden. My main concern is the stress it will put on the plant and how that will either ruin or severely compromise the plant in terms of yield, potency, hermaphroditic characteristics etc.
SCROG is low stress training. Shouldn't force hermies or anything like that. IMO, you can just LST to avoid having to deal with a trellis net! Those things are a pain! BUT, if you have severe height restrictions and are growing just a plant, SCROG might suit you well! Doesn't diminish or boost the potency, but will diminish or boost the yield depending on your skill! Good luck
